Hello All,
I have a Windows 2008 Server, Its maximum connection backlog limit (Tcp) is 200. Is there any way to increase this limit to higher value? say 1000 or 2000.
According to this article, I should be able to sync my Windows Mobile smartphone via my wireless internet connection. However, when I go to the connection settings, I only see USB and COM1 options. No option for ethernet. I have an HTC Maple (aka Snap), and it connects fine to my home wireless network, but I would like to be able to sync over the network.
How many processes can Windows support at the same time? This question is nothing to do with parellel processing of any sort. Processes can be running, waiting in the queue, sleeping etc,
The title pretty much says it all. I get error 0x8007005 when installing TortoiseSVN version 1.6.8.19340 on Windows 7 64-bit. Has anyone else had a similar experience? If so how did you solve it?
I work all day on a Windows Server 2003 machine and have noticed people "borrowing" my machine by using Remote Desktop to log in. This is pretty much "normal behaviour" at the company I work at, but I'd like to know when this is happening.
Is there any way I can be alerted each time someone remote desktop's onto my server? A simple "Bob has logged in" would be great - and I imagine there is a facility somewhere to enable this.
I'm thinking about switching the systems in my home from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows. I'm not concerned so much about new OS features as I am about peoples experiences after making the switch. I do a lot of development and use a lot of OS apps and was wondering if people ar having issues.
I have installed Windows Home Server on an older Dell computer, and it uses a Broadcom 440x Ethernet NIC driver. I have tried all of the drivers listed on their drivers page to no luck.
The error message I get when trying to install is:
"The parameter is incorrect"
I know it is a long shot, but anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!
My netbook OS is Windows XP Home Edition SP3. My wireless network option shows WPA/WPA2 option when I select it, it connects to the router but no internet access. Then I changed my router settings to WEP and configured my netbook and it works fine. I want to use WPA2 security. Please could anyone help to fix this issue?
I have Windows 7 on an HP Mini 5101. It is can be very slow to resume from suspend (not hibernate) state. The time from power on to the login prompt varies from say 10 sec to over a minute.
This machine mainly gets used for sofa surfing so usually only Firefox and gtalk are running.
Any suggestions on how to achieve Mac-like start-up or suggestions on how to track down the problem appreciated.
I have an application (.exe) which I am running via a scheduled task on Windows Server 2008 R2.
The task runs fine but when the .exe returns a non-zero exit code the task is still successful when it should fail.
I get this message:
Task Scheduler successfully completed
task "\CustomerDataSourceETL - Whics"
, instance
"{a574f6b4-2614-413c-8661-bc35eaeba7cd}"
, action
"E:\applications\CCDB-ETL\CustomerDataSourceETLConsole.exe" with return code 214794259.
How can I get task scheduler to detect that the return code is 0 and fail the task?
I have a Linux server on my local network that is set up to use wakeup on lan. I copied this script verbatim, just replacing the MAC address in the example use. When I run this script on a Mac, the server wakes up. When I run it from Windows 7 (32-bit Ultimate) it doesn't do anything (note that the script DOES run, I added a debug raw_input() to confirm).
When I run a game on my windows 7 laptop, Rundll32 completely uses up one of my cores and the game wont start. By searching the web I have been able to fix it by
1 - Disabling game info collection/updation from the games explorer. It solved the problem for some games but not all
2 - Killing the game exe once rundll32 gets stuck and restarting the game
This has solved the problem for now, but is there a proper and permanent solution to this?
I want to enable (display) the Security tab for file/folder properties in Windows XP home editon. I've already seen this question but do not seem to have the 'Use Simple File Sharing' option available to uncheck.
I've also double-checked and the file system is NTFS formatted.
Is this just a limitation of XP home edition, or is there something I can install/hack to get around this?
Currently we have a freshly setup Windows Server 2008 server acting as DNS and AD,Print and File server.
I setup VPN and routing services and was able to successfully connect through VPN however I can't resolve any host using NETBios names. Only IP addresses. Sounds like I need to add a role for WINS but since this is a LIVE environment I'm a little hesitant about adding and removing additions to the box.
What would I need to do to resolve this issue?
im trying to find a way to get my own PID from a command prompt (for later use in bat scripts)
so far the only useful way i found was to use getpids.exe from here : http://www.scheibli.com/projects/getpids/index.html but im looking for a command that's "built in" to windows
It's still around in Windows 7.
How does it work and how does it compare with newer sync options such as the native Sync Center?
Should we still use it if it's not being phased out?
I downloaded cygwin and ran ssh-host-config. I'm trying to connect using
ssh -l micah myserver
it then says
micah@myserver's password:
I enter the same password I use to log into windows and it says
Permission Denied, please try again.
After the third try it says:
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas? Do I need to generate an ssh key on the client and add it somewhere on the server?
Does anybody know a keystroke to open the upper left context menu in Windows operating systems? I'm referring to the one listling:
Restore
Move
Size
Minimize
Maximize
Close
In particular I want to restart individual 'inactive' putty sessions without using the mouse by any chance.
Once upon a time I used a Linux distro (I don't remember which one) and I could see files and folders in an interesting viewer mode: a bookshelf.
I'm searching a software for Windows that does that, but I don't found it yet.
I found that ones:
FilePro
Windirstat
They do the work well, but I would like a more-friendly interface, more like a real bookshelf :) - i.e., not a common sequoia viewer AlternativeTo mentioned software.
Is there a method or software that will allow the ability to push windows updates to clients in an non-active directory environment?
WSUS is not an option for the situation as it doesn't have the ability to push the updates to the clients, only for the clients to pull updates.
I have a Windows 2008 system with VMware Oracle RAC and Linux CentOS as guest OS plus Visual Studio etc installed. Can anybody tell me how do I go about creating a system image so restores can be a snap?
The date and time don't show up in my Windows 7 systems tray. I went into Control Panel and looked for answers. I increased the size of the task bar to see if it would pop up. No luck.
Help please!
From what I hear, Windows 7 is able to burn ISO files natively. I should be able to right-click on a given ISO and choose "Burn disk image", but I do not have that option on any ISO I try. I am assuming that I fudged the associations somehow.
Can you help me get back on track?
Inspired by this question, what 3rd party essential software do you have on a Windows machine?
One per answer please, and if you can, please provide the download/site link.
