Re: Australian Internet Filtering Position
I hate to say it but I doubt anything you say will be listened to. If the Australian government is anything like the one here in the US they only listen to themselves and to whom ever has the most money waiting to drop into their hands.

You could suggest that what they are doing is the same thing China does. They are just filtering it differently.

SQL Native Client install error
Hello all, Has anyone come across the following error when trying to install the SQL Native Client? I have this issue on four Windows XP SP3 machines, yet I managed to install the client on ten other XP SP3 workstations without a hitch. I have attempted the install as a Domain Admin and a Local Admin but I get the same error each time. I have checked registry permissions and nothing in there is incorrect. I spoke to my Microsoft Great Plains support company who advised me to 'Google it' (yes, money well spent), which I did, but I am still none the wiser. Can anyone shed any light on this please?

RE: SQL Native Client install error
Negative we just installed it via Software Deployment GPO last week didn't see that issue and I have put this on plenty of machines via silent install and not seen this issue.

Weird system calendar event
Greetings! One of our call center agents found himself unable to enter the correct date on a case... IIRC, yesterday was July 7, 2001. Any attempts he made to create a new case insisted that it was June 16, 2010, and nothing beyond that date could be accepted by the data entry app. I checked event logs this morning (App, Sys, and MS Office). All was well until about 8:35 AM. Then, events in all 3 event logs became 6/16/2010. That is, scrolling up and down the logs, I see the correct dates showing until 8:38 AM. Then I see a string of entries showing 6/16/2010. All events after manually setting the date show the correct date (7/7/2010). Other than perhaps the user inadvertently clicking the time/date tray icon and just happening to click on June 16, any ideas as to what might have caused this? Thanks... -- Richard D.

Re: Weird system calendar event
What OS? If XP, check net time /querysntp. If 7 or Vista, check w32tm /query /source. Just to see if it's syncing with an undesired NTP server. I think the most likely scenario is that a user changed the time*, but who knows? * They can't do that, IIRC, unless they're either admins on their boxes or have been given the right through group policy.

No upcoming password expiration notice for VPN users
How do you guys handle VPN users not getting a password will expire in xx days, or have any of you seen this behavior? Someone on Expert's Exchange describes our issue perfectly: I have remote user's running Windows XP Home and they use VPN to connect to my Win2000 Server running Small Business Server 2000. When they connect they enter their username/password. All of this works just fine. The problem I'm having is that they don't get notified that their password is going to expire until it is expired. They can change it at that time, but I want them to get the warning. Which took me here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/221977 We have Exchange 2007 and I'm wondering if this still applies.

RE: SQL Native Client install error

2008 server crash!
I have a Windows 2008 x32 server (HP Proliant ML310 G5p) that just crashed. When booting, its giving me a C00218 error (the registry cannot load the hive, etc.). The server is also a domain controller. Few things to note: 1. I have other DCs in this domain so I'm not so concerned about that. 2. Logical disks setup was a RAID 1 array (containing OS), and a RAID 0 array (1 single disk - used as the Windows 2008 backup device) 3. I should have a valid data backup on the single logical disk (raid 0) I was condidering reinstalling the OS using HP Smart Start CD, but I am leary in that I believe using Smart Start to reinstall the OS will WIPE the RAID 1 array and data on it, I do NOT want to do this. I'm having difficult getting clarification from HP whether I can use Smart Start WITHOUT touching the partitioning/data (english is a problem). What would you recommend? My first thought is to try and install Windows 2008 manually from a CD to a new directory (c:\windows2). Once the OS is built, I should have an idea whether the data on the disk is corrupt, and if necessary, restore from the backup disk (located on the single physical disk in a raid0 array). My second thought is to boot from a Windows 2008 CD into the recovery console and try a disk repair, etc.?

Re: HP Mini 311 and XP Pro
I would guess that you would need an external optical drive and that doing an over the top install would work. If you want to make it a clean install then you would need to pull or find the drivers for the device first and put them on media that would be available after you blow away the current install.

Re: 2008 server crash!
First question I would have was what type of backup did you do? Did you do files or did you do the image. If it was an image I beleive you start from a CD and tell it to restore the image from backup. If it was files then you will need to know what the Smart Start will and will not do.

Re: 2008 server crash!
This was a backup using Windows 2008 Server Backup tool. It does a shadow copy backup basically. I have NEVER done a restore using this program yet, only just started using the Windows 2008 Backup tool (I mostly use Symantec BackupExec for my major server, but this smaller one we opted for Window 2008 Server Backup tool built in to the OS). No software raid. ALL hardware RAID. RAID 1 for the OS, and a single disk (RAID 0) for the backup drive (there is NO drive letter for this drive as Windows 2008 backup tool somehow controls the drive WITHOUT making a drive letter... its kinda odd) Jon Harris jk.har...@gmail.com wrote: First question I would have was what type of backup did you do?

Odd. When I spoke with HP tech, they said that it WILL delete the data on the disk and they recommended NOT to reinstall the OS using smartstart.

Re: 2008 server crash!
I don't have much experience with 2008's Windows Server Backup, but I do have some with 2008 R2's. Isn't the backup really just a vhd? If so, just put the single backup disk in another server momentarily and copy off the vhd. Mount with tool of choice and extract the required data. For that matter, however, image one of the RAID1 disks and mount the image. If it's just the OS that's hosed your data should all be intact. Or some variation of both of the above. Or am I missing something? On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 7:59 PM, jesse-r...@wi.rr.com wrote: This was a backup using Windows 2008 Server Backup tool. It does a shadow copy backup basically. I have NEVER done a restore using this program yet, only just started using the Windows 2008 Backup tool (I mostly use Symantec BackupExec for my major server, but this smaller one we opted for Window 2008 Server Backup tool built in to the OS). No software raid. ALL hardware RAID. RAID 1 for the OS, and a single disk (RAID 0) for the backup drive (there is NO drive letter for this drive as Windows 2008 backup tool somehow controls the drive WITHOUT making a drive letter... its kinda odd) Jon Harris jk.har...@gmail.com wrote: First question I would have was what type of backup did you do? Did you do files or did you do the image. If it was an image I beleive you start from a CD and tell it to restore the image from backup.

Logical disks setup was a RAID 1 array (containing OS), and a RAID 0 array (1 single disk - used as the Windows 2008 backup device) 3. I should have a valid data backup on the single logical disk (raid 0) I was condidering reinstalling the OS using HP Smart Start CD, but I am leary in that I believe using Smart Start to reinstall the OS will WIPE the RAID 1 array and data on it, I do NOT want to do this. I'm having difficult getting clarification from HP whether I can use Smart Start WITHOUT touching the partitioning/data (english is a problem). What would you recommend? My first thought is to try and install Windows 2008 manually from a CD to a new directory (c:\windows2). Once the OS is built, I should have an idea whether the data on the disk is corrupt, and if necessary, restore from the backup disk (located on the single physical disk in a raid0 array). My second thought is to boot from a Windows 2008 CD into the recovery console and try a disk repair, etc.? It's been years since I done this so I'm kind of fuzzy on the process, but I vaguely recall this is something that can be done?

RE: 2008 server crash!
Well the restore only took an hour or less. Server came right back up without any problems and all my data is there too. AD replicated to the restored server (it wasn't the main DC with the FMSO roles) instantly and everything is good to go!

RE: Importing IP block list in IIS7
The configuration for IIS is simply a bunch of XML files (applicationHost.config and web.config). Setup Word (or whatever text editor you want) to do a find-n-replace and put the necessary XML tags in. Then cut-n-paste into the website's web.config file.
