In opinion, you windows might inffect with spyware. Normally windows do not cotain any specific application like the client. Try to increase your server security by:
- Update the anti-virus definition.
- Update the security patch or service pack from windows update website.
- Download and install windows defender[^] in order to clean any virus in your server.

I'm having a heckuva time trying to find the answer to this. I have an Active Directory (Windows 2000 version) network, and I'm trying to force all machines on that network to include a route in their routing table that I've specified, somehow, on my Active Directory controllers. I've fiddled with DHCP, Routing and Remote Access, and Active Directory, and have yet to figure it out. I'm sure this is simple as heck; it's just eluding me. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest a system startup script published through Group Policy which includes a route add command.
Create a new Group Policy Object, either using the Group Policy tab in Active Directory Users and Computers, or with Group Policy Management Console if you've installed that. Go to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Startup/Shutdown). Open the Properties for the Startup setting. Click 'Show Files...' at the bottom - this opens an Explorer window on the startup script folder for the GPO. Create a new text file and name it something like route_to_xyz.cmd - the icon should, if you have "always show extension" turned on, change to the cog-in-a-window icon. Edit the script to contain the appropriate route add command. Then, in the Group Policy console's Startup Properties dialog, click Add, then Browse to the script you just created.
If you created the GPO with GPMC by selecting New > Group Policy Object, you'll now need to link it to a container. Select the container then select Action/Link An Existing GPO. Select the GPO you created.
The script will execute the next time each machine is restarted after Group Policy is refreshed. This will occur automatically at the next user logon, or can be forced by running gpupdate.
I'd normally create such routes on the default gateway, though. That avoids the problem entirely.

I had a bit of a problem with a friends machine today. I initially got it to install an old PCI 56K modem I had lying around. That was the easy bit.
While I had it I decided to apply updates for Windows 2000 and Norton SystemWorks. The Windows updates went fine but I was having great trouble with the LiveUpdate. Searching Symantec's KnowledgeBase I found I had to uninstall LiveUpdate then reinstall it again off the internet. This allowed SystemWorks to LiveUpdate from within the application but it wasn't there on the Start Menu. The whole machine at this time still felt wrong.
Talking to her I found she had a newer version of SystemWorks sitting at home. I got her to drop it off as the subscription on this one had just over 4 weeks to go.
So started several hours in the Symantec KnowledgeBase again figuring out how to uninstall the old SystemWorks (the kids had stuffed it good and proper). After manually killing the files, folders and registry entries I was good to go.
Installed SystemWorks and rebooted to run into yet another problem. When SystemWorks came up I found a blank white dialog with a Next button in it that did nothing when I clicked it. I knew the dialog box should have had some message about SystemWorks (installed it enough times to remember that but not what it should ahve said). I also remembered that Symantec did most of their applications with an HTML UI.
Distant memories began to surface where I had fixed similar UI problems in the past. As the UI is HTML the HTML rendering engine is at fault. In this case it is IE. So I reinstalled IE 6SP1, clicked Yes, I know the current version is installed but don't give a f*** just do it button, waited, rebooted and SystemWorks UI was now fixed.
Then told you lot here just incase this tidbit comes in handy some day.

Nice trick! But it should never be necessary. Norton products are the most destructive I know of, and destroy as many PCs as they protect. Installing System Works or NAV almost always involves many hours of searching the Knowledge Base to fix the errors created by the process.

Hi, I have a problem with the clock in my computer. My computer desktop run windows 2000 professional, First I found that the clock in windows is slower than my watch around 30mn. Then I try to adjust the clock in the computer to the same as my watch. But after I working with the computer around 1 hour I found that the clock in my computer is difference from my watch around 30mn again. I already compare my watch with the other people watch and it working fine (accurate). So I could identify that it is wrong from my computer. Can anyone give me any idea or point to check my computer in order to find out the solution???

Could be that his computer is connected to a domain and a Domain Controller is synchronising the time. I think the stand alone Windows time Synching came in in XP.

Sorry one more thing that I did not tell all of you that my computer is connect to domain controller. But i log it with the local user profile, not romaing profile. So I think the clock shoud be differnce from the server whether the computer join with domain... Do you have any idea???

It's been a while since I have been connected to a (corporate) Domain where I have had any control, so this is from memory. Roaming profiles and time synching are not connected, last place I worked (I was only Domain User) we didn't use Roaming Profiles and the time and date were always synchronised. I know this since I was able to add myself to the Local Administrators group (nice when one of the long term employees had contacts who could give him the local admin password) I would occassionaly change the date/time and a few minutes later it would be back in synch again.

If your computer is a member of a domain, it will be synchronised to a domain controller. You should ensure that your domain controllers are synchronized with an external time source. See the w32tm tool for how to configure this.
You can override this on the workstation, but it's better to get the domain time correct.

Windows checks the system RTC at startup, then maintains its own time programmatically. Over a period of time it loses accuracy, as the process is occasionally interrupted, and update cycles missed, when other processes with higher priority are running. The busier the machine, the quicker the errors pile up.
Synchronizing the machine to a time server is a good solution, so long as the time source isn't also busy. I use an Internet time server to keep the local server sync'd, then rely on WinXP's built in time client service to keep the clients on the same time as the local server. Check out this[^] site for information about using the US NIST servers as a time source. WTime32 is the process that handles the NTP service in Windows - you can find info at MS' site for setting it properly, though I believe that the above article includes detailed instructions.
Another possibility, of course, is that the RTC on the motherboard is off, but I can't think of a way for that to happen. Crystal oscillators just don't slow down over time, and I can't think of a failure mode on the motherboard that could lead to a slow down. It either works, or it doesn't, for any scenario I can imagine.. Well, there is one unlikely case, but that would make it go faster.

Can you tell me, what is the version of your windows operating system and the version of your internet explorer? On the other hand try to check this resource[^] for further information or use google website to find the information.

Hello everybody, i have a simple questions i think, but i don't know the answers:
Before all, i have to say that i have create a andministrator and an limited user account.
But my questions are about how i can integrity my application without the limited user account can stop it, but here i have my 2 questions:
1) If we add a shortcut to the Start Menu | Programs | Start Up of our application but in the administrator account. It will starts to work if for example we log in in the WXP with the limited account. And if it starts to run, we can prohibite to the limitate account to don't stop the application?
2) If we add a entry in the registry to start our application, how we can stop to the user to don't delete this entry in the registry?
Thank u for the possible help.

I don't understand this question. Could you explain more detail about your question?

I'm developing an application in VB.Net wich will perform the same function as DELPROF.EXE tool from microsoft does, except you will be able to select multiple computers from your Active Directory Domain to run it on, as well as pick an age cutoff.
Problem I am having is with deleting the profile directories. All of the commands I use to delete the folders error out because they are read only. I use a function to cycle through the directory and turn off the read only and hidden attributes then attempt to delete the fld and it erros out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure whether your application run under the user account which belong to a group that has sufficient right to delete the user profile.

Friends,
I've been playing too much with COM/ActiveX control these days. I create temporary projects and then delete them. But these programs left their signs in the registry. I create DLL and delete it but its entry in the registry remains there. As such my registry is badly polluted.
I am in search of free tool that can delete all those COM/OLE enteries from the registry which have no DLLs left. Please suggest me any ?

Try setting the Compatibility Mode for the program to something older, like Win3.1. I don't recall offhand where to find it, but it's a new feature of WinXP that allows you to force older programs to run in an environment that emulates older operating systems. Win3.1 was really a shell running on DOS (as was Win9x), so it should behave similarly. I'm sure you can find it using online Help.

It was actually a Win2K feature - right-click the EXE->Properties->Compatibility. I don't know if this will affect DOS apps, but it's worth a try.
