Is there any Security software recommendation for Windows Server 2003 as a Web Application/Website server?
Or any particular settings I should adjust before making a website to be Live.
I've been wondering what command-line aliases (such as in bash, or just even .bat files under Windows) you can't live without?
I'll start off with my favourite:
alias q=exit
Alright, so here's the deal...
For a while, I wanted to mess with Linux. I don't know why, but I wanted to. So, what I did was use WUBI and install Ubuntu. Because of some unknown reason (Intel Rapid Start? Half the drivers being on a Lenovo-installed SSD [separate from the main hard drive]?) it wouldn't dual boot. So, I decided to use Linux Mint instead, and install it in a partition. Since Windows 7 Home Premium won't make partitions any more if you have a certain number already, I just shrank my system drive and left empty space for the installer to claim.
When I installed Mint, it worked, but left my Windows 7 installation unable to boot and eventually it corrupted. I tried to use a system repair disc I burned earlier but it didn't find the Windows installation, so I assume the partition corrupted.
I used this link:http://www.pcworld.com/article/248995/how_to_install_windows_7_without_the_disc.html
to try and reinstall Windows. What happened was that originally it said that the partition I was trying to reinstall from had been locked down by the OEM (Lenovo). So, I went into GParted, wiped EVERYTHING, and selected 'Construct new Boot record' or whatever that function is, and now the error is:
"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information."
Does anyone know how to see the log files? Can anyone help? This system is a month old but the warranty only covers hardware failures, and I would need to pay around USD$60 for them to fix it.
Please help. Any ideas? this is my main machine...
Extra information: I have at my disposal:
System Repair Disc (Burned myself)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1 installation disk (burned from the pcworld links)
Gparted Live CD
Linux Mint 13 live cd
A system backup (from the morning before this catastrophe) made using the Windows Backup and Restore. I put it on an external drive...that should be safe for now.
For a number of reasons I need to change the health check URL of a live site behind an ELB. The ELB is configured for health checks every 30 seconds, with a healthy threshold of 2 and unhealthy threshold of 2. I need to ensure I make this change with no outage. If I make the change to the health check URL, and assuming the URL checks successfully, will the instances stay healthy on the load balancer, or will they go out of service until they succeed 2 health checks (in 1 minute)?
I've got a set of .tar.gz files, which are duplicity backup files (either full backups or incremental ones). I'd like to compute which directories take the most space on backups. This will most probably be a different figure to calculating which directories take the most space on a live filesystem because I need to account for how often are files changing (and therefore taking space on incremental backups) and how compressible are files.
I know that while many other archive formats store compressed files as different entities inside the archive file, .tar.gz files do not, and therefore it is impossible to get an exact amount of storage taken in the archive by a single file after compression. Are there any tools to calculate at least some estimates?
All of a sudden, my Microsoft Office files have the generic file icon, and it happens with Powerpoint and Word, but not Excel. I can open the files just fine, and I tried restarting my computer, creating new files, clicking F5 on the desktop, turning off my Windows XP theme patcher, and none of them worked, any ideas?
EDIT: I've also noticed that it happened to the following programs: Windows Live Messenger, iTunes, and Skype, so not just MS Office. Yet, some are still fine like IE, Paint, GIMP, Paint.NET, a few web browsers, etc.
I have a 40 minute, 6 gigabyte .MOV file that I transferred from my iPhone to my PC. I need to upload the video to Youtube but the file is too large. When I try to compress the video, my computer will shut off when the process reaches 3 or 4 percent. This has happened in Windows Live Movie Maker, Riva FLV encoder, and VLC.
Any ideas on how I can get this file down to a reasonable size so I can upload it online?

If I set up my own VPN or similar server on my always on computer at home, they say I could access gmail from my work computer. My question is, will the IT guys at work be able to notice something strange is going on if I'm on gchat at work through one of these things? (by IT guys I mean the two guys in charge of our network at work - its a small company)
I have Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) on a G4 Powerbook and a camcorder with a firewire device. It doesn't have iMovie, which is now part of the separate iLife Suite and requires an Intel Mac.
Anyway, Image Capture does not recognize the firewire video feed as an image capture device. What software would give me the simplest "capture this frame from live firewire video feed to image" functionality.
Hi, I live in Israel and I bought Windows 7 Professional in Hebrew. I'd like to switch the language to English.
In Control Panel - Region and Language I don't have any options to switch the display language to English because only Hebrew is installed. In Windows Update, there are no language updates. I have waited three days, and still no language update.
Any Ideas?
Thank you.
I created a gmail account ages ago whilst living in the UK where google has trademark problem with gmail (similar to budweiser v budvar dispute)
Now I no longer live in the uk, how can I change the address from being
[email protected]
to simply
[email protected]
I've changed the 'reply address' to be gmail, and it works fine, but it's still annoying.
I was using Firefox 3.5 when this happened.
I tried the obvious workarounds: Upgrade to 3.6. Downgrade to 3.0. None worked.
I'm using Windows Vista 64-bit.
The only extensions installed are Lori, Roboform, Google Toolbar, Live HTTP Headers, Skype, and Yahoo Toolbar -- all of which I have used for a very long time with no problems.
I've got a Flip Mino HD and am looking for a free utility that will convert the default mp4 video format into something that is Windows Movie Maker (Live or Standard) friendly.
What do you guys recommend?
I'm trying to do Remote Administration of IIS in C#.NET using System.Web.Administration tools. Everything works fine on a test server (windows 2008), however when I try using our live server (windows 2003) it fails giving the message:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException : Not enough storage is available to process this command. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070008)
The server itself has plenty of memory free, so I believe this is some kind of memory limit with the RPC itself.

Is there any way around this?
I have an icon on my desktop for a website called QUAKE LIVE and I use Google Chrome as my default browser. The website isn't compatible with Google Chrome, but it with Mozilla Firefox. Is there any way to edit the properties of the icon to open with Firefox instead of Chrome?
We live in a place where we have a slow internet connection and get charged per MB. We have unlimited access to email though. Is there an easy way for somebody to send us the contents of a web page (news article) they are on other than copying and pasting the text.
Thanks,
Paul
I installed latest Ubuntu on a flash drive. Was ready to install clonezilla with apt-get install clonezilla but that's not the way to do it?
I prefer a physical install to a live one because I then have a chance to load specialized ntfs drivers for instance, should there be a need.
How can I do this? Thank you!

Does anyone know if a VMware Fusion virtual machine of Windows 7 would run better on a class 6 SDHC card than it does sharing the disk with Mac OS? Or if a single SSD drive would do better? I like to live in the Mac world for day-to-day things, but I also have a complete development environment set up in Windows 7.
I am trying to boot BAMT a Debian flavor via USB on a brand new Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 motherboard. I tried various flash drive and various OS. I never had this problem with ASUS and MSI. The problem is from Gigabyte hardware.
I found that my BIOS is very strict about MBR compatibility. Now I can boot in DOS mode. The flash drive need to be formated as a Win98 Startup disk using HP USB disk storage format tool. Unetbootin menu is booting from USB but won't install BAMT.
If I use Windows or Linux diskimager the working MBR is deleted. I tried converting BAMT .img to .iso and it is not booting with Unetbootin.
Is it possible to boot BAMT(Debian Linux) from a Win98 DOS command prompt? Maybe there is a way to burn the image and keep the working MBR?
If the working MBR is deleted, the flash drive is not recognized at all by the BIOS.
This is the info I found that got me booting for the first time in DOS:
GB's BIOS will only boot USBs formatted to FAT-32, conforming to normal MBR
bootloader. I've seen this before, and surmised that the 'stick-maker' was
formatting in ReiserFile, or one of the EXT 'flavors', but no one ever followed
up to confirm or deny... Also, if it's putting the bootloader into its own
partition - won't work!
In the BIOS, on the "Integrated Peripherals" page, the "USB Storage Function"
item must be enabled (which should be the default) to allow USB booting...
I've put a little work into a 'GB USB booting tutorial', and frankly, I'd just
go ahead and finish it up for you, but I really don't want to reboot the several
times it will take me to 'firm up' procedural details, and take the BIOS/boot
pictures for the post - just noticed VAIL finally went 'public beta', so will be
downloading for likely twenty-six hours or so There's likely enough there to
test a 'raw DOS boot', just to see if your hardware (especially the USB stick
itself) will do it...
Some post later:
Fixed. Here is a brief summary. Since my ubuntu live usb sticks (2gb kingston
and 8gb sandisk sd/usb reader - fat32, created in ubuntu 10.04) would not boot
this board even though they would boot my ga-ep45-ud3p, I decided to try
bilbat's suggestion with the HP usb boot program. I created the win98 boot disk
on the kingston 2gb stick without reformatting. It booted right up. Next, I used
windows version of unetbootin to write the ubuntu live cd to the kingston disk.
This fired right up and completed the install. Everything seems to be in good
order now.
Unfortunately I can boot in DOS mode but can't boot BAMT.
As the title reads, I'm about to download and install URL Rewrite Go Live extension on my Windows Server 2008 R2 dedicated server, and I need to find out which version of URL Rewrite I should be downloading, x64 or x86.
The information that came with the server when I started to rent it said it was 64-bit but when I look at my C: directory I have two Program Files directories, one titled "Program Files" and the other "Program Files (86)" - so this has confused me somewhat.
Can anybody suggest how to find this out?
Hi, we have an internal test-server that uses real, live mail addresses to send out status mails sometimes. We don't want these mails to end up with our users but for different reasons we can't use a catch_all solution and we only have the one available mail server. What we need is a way to forward incoming mail from any domain not specified in relay_domains to a specified mailbox.
How do you replace the Passenger Application failed to load error messages. They are lovely, but I'd rather not display them when we move our application to production. It'd be better to just show them on the dev box and maintenance page on the live site.
For clarification, this is the call stack page passenger displays when your rails app fails to load.
I'd rather not modify the passenger template files directly.
Passenger doesn't seem to be respecting:
ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
Where can I get MICROSOFT WINDOWS PEER - TO - PEER NETWORKING speed characteristics?
I need to know if and what speed advantages you get with it over net.tcp and other ws-* bindings and if it is faster than flash 10.1 p2p and classic bittorrent p2p?
Is it good for live video broadcasting?
Has any one seen any reserches on this field?
