I'm probably a complete n00b concerning serverfault related questions, but our IT department makes a bold statement I wish to verify. I've searched the internet, but can find nothing related to my question, so I come here.
We have Threat Management Gateway 2010 and we used to just route the request to IIS and it contained the ip address so we…
We are scaling our puppet infrastructure and would like to split off the CA component from the puppet master server to another server. Part of the change involves a servername change for the puppetmaster too.
I'm no puppet expert but i'm at a point where I -think- we need to create a SAN cert with both the old and new names in it (to be safe),…
I want to build a HTPC for music/video/blu-ray playback (no gaming). I don't need an expensive HTPC case but just want to go with a standard medium tower case. However, I want it to be super silent so it doesn't make any annoying fan/disk noises when I watch movies. Ideally, it shouldn't make any noticeable noise at all.
I understand that…
Is it possible to use a single port for SSTP and an IIS website, or will I be required to set up separate ports? I've got Server 2008 R2, and I tried doing it but now I can't get IIS to serve anything out of 443 even with RRAS uninstalled.
This is for a small home network, and I ideally want to open up just port 443 on the router and…
I'm looking for a good performance monitoring service for websites. I know about some of the available general monitoring services that check for uptime and notify you about unavailable services. But I'm specifically looking for a service with an emphasis on performance.
I.e., I would like to see reports with detailed performance…
I guess all of you have a pair/set of speakers for your MP3s. I am just interesting to how do they do when they are not playing?
How actually the power spent by the speaker? Does any the below cases matter?
Idle / Silence input
When you computer is off / not connected
Raise the volume by hardware (turn/push the button on the…
How can I sort the /dev directory by type and major and minor device number when doing ls -l?
The best way I've found so far is:
ls -l /dev | sort -k 1.1,1.2 -k 5n -k 6n | less
Is there a better way?
I have had a couple of BSOD's lately and after the last one I got the disk error message. The disk shows up during the BIOS portion of the boot. It is in a Dell Precision 690 so the F12 key gives me a boot menu. I can boot from the utility partition, and if I specifically select the hard drive from the boot menu it will boot…
I'm running Windows Virtual PC (RC) on a Windows 7 (RTM) 64-bit host. When I create a new virtual machine an try to install 64-bit Windows 7 on that VM, I get "this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode."
Is there a way to create 64-bit virtual machines?
I have a Windows Server 2003 64bits, and it has two IE8 inside, 32-bit and 64-bit.
When I run "iexplore.exe", debug in visual studio, clicking links, and etc, the 64-bit will popup and some plugins do not work.
How can I fix my system that it will always run the 32-bit IE by default?

Recently I read that Apache 2.2 has a new mod to patch outputs on the fly.
mod_substitute provides a mechanism to perform both regular expression and fixed string substitutions on response bodies.
The feature is useful when I setup testing/development environment. I can replace hostname without touching the content/code.

I tried to apply a firmware update on a MacBook Pro 2.4ghz (2008), and after rebooting, the fans kicked up to maximum, the screen lit up, and then it immediately died. Now when I try to boot, it does the same thing: the fans crank to max, the screen lights up, and then it dies after about 2 seconds.

What is the best way to backup and restore all my everything in Foobar2000?
I was once clicked on a "Reset all" button which provide somehow a stupid feature - clear all setting and playlist.
The story tell that, remember to do backup when there is nothing goes wrong. (And I don't think they should put the button on…
My background is primarily .NET Development with some System Administration skills. I'm trying to set up a VM Lab for me to test System Applications I'm developing but I've only ever done System Administration in already set up environments; I've never set up my own.
My current setup:

When using Google Chrome, I would like to have a page scroll up so the bottom of form fields are at or above the bottom of the window when I click in the text input to begin entering something. However, if the form height is larger than the window, the top should not be scrolled off automatically.

We are experiencing performance issues with a VMware Server 2.x installation on an Ubuntu 8.04 host. When the host system is generating IO load (for example, copying large files as part of a backup operation), the guests (also Ubuntu 8.04) become…
I am faced with an unsettling situation. A friend of my father's has rather suddenly become a widower. Naturally they've taken care of the bank accounts and all the normal mundane things that people have been doing for a century or so.

Hi,
I'm running XAMPP on a OS X testing server... I'm the only person sending requests to the server. I've never messed with Apache config before, so I'm kinda without a paddle here.
When I start Apache, I get ~10 httpd processes…
Hey guys!
I hope that many of you are working with high traffic database-driven websites, and chances are that your main scalability issues are in the database. I noticed a couple of things lately:
Most large databases require a…
I have an Xserve running OS X Server 10.4.11. It has Apple File Protocol enabled to share a few dozen sharepoints on the local network.
I would occasionally like to get a listing of who is currently connected to the server…
