Nevermind. Server 2003 does it. Anybody want to be certified by me?

I got the CD for Windows Server 2003 when I upgraded my copy of Visual Studio .NET using the $30 upgrade special MS had a while back. Naturally, I installed it right away. Now, the catch is the back of the CD sleeve says "Illegal without a separate license from MS."
Oh great, so I may as well be using warez. Anyway, since I already have the disc, if I just purchased like a 5CAL pack for $130 would that cover me or is a CAL not technically the same thing?
Any thoughts are welcome.

A CAL is a Client access license, not a license to install the server itself. I believe that the distribution of Win2K03 is intended to serve as your development platform, and using it to run your organization would be illegal.

That's was I figured, but I wanted to make sure.

Well, this particular copy is for my home/development use. However, I'm trying to start a home-based business with it too. Even though, Win2K03 would still be used for development when that happens.
They sure do make this stuff complicated, eh?

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any software that would split the voice part and the music from the 'mp3' files. Even if not in MP3, is it posible with other file formats as audio CDs etc.
Thanks in advance

Don't think so. Many so-called 'karaoke' converters work by assuming that the voice is central in the stereo, and eliminating accordingly, although I haven't got the first clue as to how.

How do I change the folder that windows looks for my Documents and Settings?
I have set up my Domain, but I want a non-domain (same username) account to have the same profile. I changed the My Documents already but I want to do this
BestSnowman.NEWMAN <-- Domain Account
C:\Documents and Settings\BestSnowman.NEWMAN.000 <-- Change that to
C:\Documents and Settings\BestSnowman
Does this make sense? How would I do that?

So I figured out how to do it and it didn't work well for what I wanted it to do.

Can I ask two questions.
1. How did you do it (presumably an HKEY_USERS\.yoursid setting?
2. What did you want that meant it didn't work well?
I found that from 2000 onwards some apps would seem to remember when I used the common dialog which folder I was last in. However, for some of the apps I've written and sold, I got around that by having my app init the folder string in the OFN structure....

It was a little more nested than that but pretty much it.

It wouldn't logon with the profile and created a new one. Luckily I had backed up the settings before hand.

Hi,
I want to be able to initiate a suspend, and also set the time for wake-up, from software under windows XP (preferably using C). Can anyone point me in the right direction??
Thanks,
Will

An application may use SetSuspendState to transition the system from the working state to the standby (sleep), or optionally, hibernate (S4) state.
BOOLEAN SetSuspendState(<br />
BOOL Hibernate,<br />
BOOL ForceCritical,<br />
BOOL DisableWakeEvent<br />
);

Well, I've run out of options on this server, and I'm probably going to re-install Win2K Server again. I don't have a clue how AD could lose it's SAM database and all information about the domain, so I have no idea how to restore it. Previous installations have left behind Admin and User folders full of goodies that I've been able to save elsewhere, and I've worked out a dodge for recovering lost email address books. I'm stumped, though, on a method for saving and recovering actual emails. I've got all the dbx files, but I can't find any way to trick Outlook Express into exporting or importing emails without having Outlook or Exchange installed. I have a lot of products installed that I'll have to reinstall afterwards, and their registration codes are contained in those emails, so I'd really like to preserve them. Is there any way to do this, short of firing up binhex and searching the hard way?

It's Tuesday afternoon, I'm in a braindead mood and really don't wanna be here at work. So don't mind my ramblings while I try and answer this for you.
From the dbx extension I am assuming that you are dealing with Outlook Express. The only way I have retrieved emails from this format before is as follows.
- Get Outlook Express running on another machine or the same one if you have backed up the files.
- Create new folders with the same names as the files you are trying to recover. Roger's Amazing Emails.dbx becomes the Roger's Amazing Emaiuls folder, etc.
- Shutdown Outlook Express.
- Copy or move the backed up files over the top of the newly created ones.
- Start up Outlook Express again and your emails should all be there.
Hope that works.

Windows NT 4.0, 2000,2003
When I schedule a .cmd file using the task scheduler, and the task starts, a command window is displayed in the background. I have used @ECHO off, etc. in the command file to prevent displaying the actions of the command file, but how do I prevent the command window from displaying?
Do I have to write some intermediate process that hides its window?
|
|
|
|
|
use an api call to set show mode of the window as hidden
write a vb ap that uses shell command to start your cmd
use api32 call to get handle of the forground window
use api32 to set showmode of the window to hidden
|
|

...it is being used by another process".
Is this possible to know what other process is accessing the file? Is there some command or tool for W2K listing the processes accessing a specific file?
Thanks in advance for any answer or hint.

There's a program out there called Whoslocking.exe that does exactly this, and lets you shut down the locking process. It doesn't always work, but most of the time it works perfectly on Win2K. Try Google...

Can anyone suggest a good Distro with PHP/Mysql working 'out of the box'? Or should I just use the Win versions? It is for an Intranet site.
Thanks,

Why are you asking for Linux just right here ?
(*whisper* why don't you try redhat or suse. installation is quick and easy. but unless you have high load on a 'small' server and you don't need much security - in sense of bug-exploits - then windows might still be the right choice. *thinks* I hope I don't get banned for this  )
