We recently upgraded our network from an Exchange 2000 installation to an Exchange 2003 installation. This was done as a migration, not an upgrade. Exchange 2003 was installed on a brand new server, installed on to the network, mailboxes were migrated to it, then the original Exchange 2000 box was de-commisioned.
For some reason, when viewing posts in the public folders, the 'From' field of all posts seem to be lost.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I need help with an application being executing on a remote disk that "disappear" when I disable the Network Connection...
The same application tested with the debugger give back the error "0xC0000006: In Page Error.".
In the MSDN I've found the article Q172530 (Deleted UNC Connection While In Use Causes an In-Page Error") and as far as I understood the problem here is in the redirector... but this problem shoudln't have already been fixed on NT 3.51???
I think I'm close to the solution, but I would really appreciate some help or workaround.
I'm running on W2K Professional SP4.
Thanx guys,
Fabio

Windows loads your program into RAM lazily, on-demand. When it loses the connection to the network drive, and your application tries to load a page that wasn't already in RAM, Windows has no choice but to throw an exception. Note that Windows also discards pages that haven't been touched recently if you're above your minimum working set size.
To force an image launched from across the network to be loaded into RAM before being executed, pass the /SWAPRUN:NET option to the linker. You can also add it to an existing binary using editbin.

Anyone as ideas on how to develop an aplication that block all tcp/ip ports with exceptions for particular ports, on a w2k or Xp system.

Has anyone here seen a problem where if you set a port of a Cisco 355o switch to only communicate at 100Mb Full-duplex that it will not allow NICs attached to it that are set to Auto-negitiate to actualy run at 100Mb Full-duplex? It seems like setting the port staticly shuts off it's ability to negotiate.

Our domain controller (singular, whitebox) died this morning.
Any idea how long our cached logons (Windows XP) will keep working?

Hi all,
What is the right procedure to shift a 32-bit application to
64-bit supported application? I would like to change the source
code as little as possible.
Thank you
David

Note: I'm assuming that you mean that you want to produce a native 64-bit executable. Most programs compiled for 32-bit Windows will run fine on 64-bit (IA64 and AMD64) systems, because these systems can run 32-bit x86 programs natively.
Get a recent version of the Microsoft 32-bit compiler (that supplied with VS.NET 2002 or 2003 is fine, or download the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003[^]). Compile with /wp64. This will flag up most issues that will cause problems in 64-bit mode. You may need to get the latest Platform SDK[^] to get the full benefit.
Generally it's a case of finding anywhere you've assumed that a pointer will be 32 bits in size and modifying it to use a 64-bit data type instead.
For more information, see Introducing 64-bit Windows[^] in the Platform SDK documentation.
In order to actually produce a 64-bit executable, you'll need the 64-bit version of the compiler. There is no commercially available 64-bit compiler from Microsoft as yet; you can obtain the latest compiler builds as part of the Driver Development Kit[^].

Yes,I would like to build native 64-bit application.
Your help is very useful.

Now that I've had a couple of days at the new job, the structure of the network is becoming clear. Upstairs we have a NT server with a few clients, all dedicated to accounting and sales of watercraft and motorcycles, configured as a workgroup. Downstairs we have a workgroup with its own NT server running software for selling parts. I'm told that the reason the two are kept apart is to isolate the two software types, and I have yet to figure out why anyone would pay the price of NT Server (twice) and not configure a domain. The two networks have no connection between them.
Yesterday they asked if I could connect the two so that the downstairs group can share the DSL Internet connection used upstairs. I've never heard of anyone running two separate workgroups on one physical network, but theoretically it should work fine using just a couple of hubs. Hubs don't care what subnet they're on, or what traffic they carry. For efficiency's sake, though, I'd prefer to use a switch or router between them to localize the collision domains, and I'm not too certain about setting the downstairs clients to use a default gateway on a different subnet. My own server was orginally set up that way, and Windows whined about it, but it worked. I'm not certain that NT is smart enough to use such a setup.
Any thoughts or advice?
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Just a thought... [Assuming the NT server is acting as a NAT router] couldn't you just install an additional NIC and run two seperate NAT networks? It would seperate the two networks while letting them both connect to the outside world.

I'm leaning toward convincing them to reconfigure as a regular domain with a PDC and a BDC. We can host one app on each server, and limit access to those who need it for each. As a side benefit, I may be able to get NT to back up data from each app to the other server each night, if I can get NT to recognize the other hard drive as a backup device. That's better than their current setup - no backups at all. They're concerned about the two programs interfering with each other, and I'm having a hard time explaining that this isn't likely in any case. The client software for each would only be installed on hosts that have legitimate access, and the db folders would have permissions that exclude everyone who shouldn't be messing around in them. It seems simple to me, but I know from past experience that nothing is simple with WinNT.

Why the need for two different subnets? If the DSL modem/router has a built in DHCP server like mine does let it do the handing out of IP Addresses. That way the modem/router will hand over DNS server and Default Gatewy settings keeping it constant accross the site. While each NT Server and associated clients can just use their Workgroup to keep to themselves.
If the DSL modem/router doesn't handle DHCP (or your worried that since the hardware DHCP doesn't support WINS and therefore pinging by name becomes a pain in the arse without using the Host file) use the two NT boxes to run a DHCP server each in the same subnet but with a different range. That way there will be no problems or conflicts with the default gateway.
Hope that all makes sense 02:25 here and I should be getting to bed.

I actually haven't tried. I've been working more on convincing them to use the tools they have properly, and I think I'm getting through. What they have is two virtually unused WinNT Server systems on separate P-to-P networks acting as simple file servers - Win98 could have provided that much functionality. But if I connect the two together to share a DSL connection, it makes sense to promote the two servers to domain controllers - one primary and one backup - then join all the client into a single domain. They've mentioned that they want to upgrade to Win2K as soon as possible, so this would be a reasonable step toward that migration.
In the meantime I've been spelunking. Since they've never been open on Sundays and Mondays before, and I'm the only one there on those days, I have lots of time to explore. The whole system is written in PAL (Paradox Application Language) it seems; I can't find any evidence of a VB file on the drives, and exes are really rare. It may be possible for me to write some PAL scripts that will simplify life a little, like being able to change batches of records instead of using the built in one-at-a-time procedures it comes with. But I may find other goodies - the boss told the lady that controls the system to give me admin access today, but I have yet to explore the many new functions I should now get to play with.

Hi
I got a problem when the Daylight saving changes apply here in México, the XP systems don't update the hour change, and if we fix the time, after a few minutes changes again to the wrong time. In my personal PC, I fix this problem in a tab page into Date & Time Applet where allow sync the local with a server, disabling this I fix the problem. But here in my company, this tab page "disappear".
Someone know who change this, cuz all our systems in XP works with one hour before.
Thanks

If there's a server on the network, it sounds like the problem is there. If your XP system is set up to sync with a server, and that server is set wrong, it will "correct" your local time regularly. It may be that your missing tab is due to a Group Policy on the network, and you probably can't do much about it.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this thing thats been bugging me for ages now.
In Windows - before XP - you could rename a folder in the explorer folder view by double clicking on it.
For some reason this is no longer possible in XP, you must select rename from the RMB menu.
Now I can sort of see why since new users may rename important folders, but I WONT!
Does anyone have any idea if it is possible to re-enable double click editing of folder names?
Cheers for any help

Description of Simple Folder View in Windows XP
In Microsoft Windows Explorer on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, the following behavior occurs under the new Simple Folder view:
When you click a folder in the Folders pane, it is automatically expanded to show its subfolders.
When you click a folder in the Folders pane, other expanded folders are automatically closed.
The dotted lines that normally connect the folders and drives are not displayed.

Can anyone give a good definition for thread?
or any reference that I can take a look?

Assuming you mean thread in the context of software development (and not in the context of forum posts & resonses or fabric)
Here is a deffinition from Sun[^]: A thread--sometimes called an execution context or a lightweight process--is a single sequential flow of control within a program. You use threads to isolate tasks. When you run one of these sorting applets, it creates a thread that performs the sort operation. Each thread is a sequential flow of control within the same program (the browser). Each sort operation runs independently from the others, but at the same time.
And some information from Microsoft[^]: Operating systems use processes to separate the different applications that they are executing. Threads are the basic unit to which an operating system allocates processor time, and more than one thread can be executing code inside that process. Each thread maintains exception handlers, a scheduling priority, and a set of structures the system uses to save the thread context until it is scheduled. The thread context includes all the information the thread needs to seamlessly resume execution, including the thread's set of CPU registers and stack, in the address space of the thread's host process. [This article goes in to much further detail and states when and when not to use threads and so on]
Does this help? (If you're still unsure I've got a few analogies I recall from my Concurrency lectures back at uni [although that was 8 years ago])

Yes it does. Thank you! Last night, I went back to my note from operating system class back in 2001, but this one helps me a lot better now that I am in the real world where I am urged to make things happen. really helps!
