When you run mstsc.exe, the Remote Desktop Connection client to connect to a virtual machine VRDP or other RDP connections, it’s not exactly clear how to enter the CTL+ALT+DEL keystroke to login. Do this: CTL+ALT+END :)
This is a pain. For some reason, unkown even to Microsoft aparently, I reboot my system only to login to a temporary profile in Windows Vista or Windows 7. Â As of this writing, I am using the release candidate of Windows 7, but since I’ve seen this on Vista […]
I love my new Env Touch, since I can’t get an iPhone it’s just awesome, but there’s a couple little things I don’t like. Like the fact that the dial pad goes blank when entering my PIN in voice mail. I have the screen set to 30 seconds timeout, but […]
It’s possible to email an mp3 as a TXT message to yourself, but that’s not going to work for me. I suppose there are other’s out there like myself, that do not have any data on their plan. I do have text messages, but no data, so no pictures or […]
I found some info on Google searches to get Windows 7 to join a Samba domain controller. I have Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty which runs Samba 3.3.2, which I guess does not work. You need 3.3.4.  Windows 7 needs a registry change: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters] “DomainCompatibilityMode”=dword:00000001 “DNSNameResolutionRequired”=dword:00000000 The above need to be added to allow […]
there’s a thing in Ubuntu called Apparmor. Never even heard of this. This is what was keeping the files from being written to by the bind daemon.
Well I just have too much fun with things like this. I don’t know where it came from, but the Blogosphere was a great name people use. I suddenly thought of Nettiverse because I was trying to connect my blog with Facebook and Twitter. I thought they were pieces of […]
This drove me nuts! Why Microsoft had to take something totally simple in Windows 2000 and make it a complicated thing is NOT beyond me! This is MS we’re talking about! Of course it’s not easy with newer versions. Took me a little bit, but here’s the commands I used […]
IGNORE ME This is just a test post. Â I am GETTING MY GEEK ON! Â I now have my blogs at Geekdog.net as well as 1stbyte.com setup to notify Facebook that I posted. Â Rawesome!
Man, I haven’t posted in ages! Well, here’s something I want to remember for later. Force a computer to logoff at a particular time, but still allow logons later. Using Active Directory, I think, will force a logon schedule and dissallow users from logon if not within scheduled times. On […]
In Exchange 2007, you have a nice little GUI to set your FQDN on your Send Connector. (Mine is called Outbound, as shown below.) You can see my FQDN, set under the Hub Transport/Send Connectors of the Exchange Management Console. However, if you send mail out to an external address, […]
Had to spend a few minutes reminding myself how to configure this. Easy as pie! Even works with images now!!! Yay! While in a “New Blog” in Word 2007, click the Manage Accounts buton. (A wizard will probably start the process the first time you do this, but here’s the […]
See how they run Â
Well for the larger businesses out there, this may not be a useful tip. But for those of us that support small networks, like less than 50 or even 10 systems, utilizing shares on workstations is sometimes needed. For example, I have servers in most all of my networks, and […]
So you went to add a new address to a user account in Active Directory, and you got an error that this address already exists? Sucks huh? Especially when you don’t know where it could be? Here’s one way to track it down. On your domain root in AD Users […]
I’ve run into this a few times, thought I’d record the solution for once so I remember it. After adding a new user account, the user does not show up in Outlook’s Global Address List, but does show in All Users. (If you click “To” in a new message, for […]
When using Folder Redirection on a Windows 2003 server, the default policy is allow only ownership and permissions to the user. No admin account would have access to this folder. For example, you create a Group Policy to redirect user’s My Documents folders to a home directory on the server. […]
Recently I went to reset a user’s home directory permissions on the server to allow them full control over each file/folder in their home directory. I setup all the normal accounts and of course the actual user account, with Full Control. I then went into Advanced and selected “Replace permission […]
In Internet Explorer 7, Tools, Internet Options, Advanced tab. The checkbox for “enable integrated windows authentication” is very confusing. You would think this means “just log me in with my windows credentials”, but no, there’s more to it than that. And what I found was, it simply enables “Negotiate”. It […]
One of the main reasons I don’t use Firefox in an Intranet environment, is due to the logon prompt from IIS Windows Authentication. I keep having problems with IE7 on Vista losing the auto-NTLM auth, where it asks for my password, when it’s supposed to just log me in based […]
