I have a W2k Advanced Server, (Cluster Service).
On that I have to crate a resource type "Network Name" using Widows/VB Script.
Now the problem is I could not able to add the Virtual server name in the parameters section. As the Virtual Name is missing I could not bring the resource on-line.
Any suggesstions, Thanks in advance

Is there a way to hide the shortcut tab when you right click on a shortcut and go to properties? Or at least prevent changing the 'Target' field?
Thanks in advance.

There are two point that you should consider:
1. Configure the Mandatory profile.[^]
2. Use group policies to apply setting for Remove windows explorer default context menu and Remove the property from the My Documents context menu.

Hi guys,
Is there a policy to allow users to search only their local drives or profile? I want to prevent some users from searching for files on the network.
Thanks!

By default, each user could not access to the other profile of another user. So the user could not search for any specific file or folder.

Before user could access the network drive, the system will autenticate the user information (user name and password). Access to the network drive mean the user already authenticate and have sufficient permission to access to the resource. Whether you prevent them from search the file or folder but they have the right to browse each file or folder by manually.
I also check in the group policies and didn't find any policies setting to prevent the user to search the specific drive. But if you completely prevent the user to access to search program, use the group policies and set the following policies:
- Remove search button from windows explorer.
- Remove search menu from start menu.

Hi there:
This is a question regarding NET TIME which we can use it to synchronize our local system time with any other system (server etc) time.
As an example you have a simple BATCH file like this:
net time \\lavanya /set /y
which will set my system time to the time as on system named Lavanya
Now my questions are:
(1) If I have it as an AUTOEXEC.BAT or Startup Folder in Windows, then some of the users who logon to the system may not have administrative privileges. Then when Windows run this file, it would encounter the message "A required privilege is not held by the client" and the script would be ignored. How to overcome this problem?
(2) If I try to use runas then I need to give username and password right?
Are there any workarounds for this issue?
And Windows Time is available only for XP systems. Is'nt it? This code snippet would be particularly useful to cover downlevel systems like Windows 98 (though not supported) and Windows 2000 too.

Windows 2000 definitely supports time synchronization. The W32Time service ( details[^] ) runs as a system service, and can be set to fetch time from an outside time server. I use the NIST servers to sync my home server and those at work to a reliable reference time. The clients then sync to the local server. WinXP clients automatically do this; Win2K clients require setting some parameters in the w32time service to accomplish the same, but neither is affected by the user logged on.
I haven't had to work with a Win98 network client in a while, but I did succeed in setting the last bunch to sync to a server. It can be done - check out MS TechNet for ideas.

As far as I know, the NET TIME command is popular used under windows NT 4.0. But when it move to windows 2000 or xp, it has a default service W32Time which is automatically synchronize the time with the server.

This problem occure because you try to run an autoexec batch file that need to change the system time while the process run under the user that don't have user right to change the system time. There are two solution to solve this problem:
1. Create the logon script for the user. The script contain the command line that will synchronize the time between the server and the client (Recommend).
2. Give the user for the user right to change the system in the Group Policies editor (Not recommend).

In my opinion, I do not recommend this method. Try to use the above solutions.

just now i'm looking at runas case and see you can enter user's name in command line (/user)
just do not see way how to stop asking for password with more runas-es

Change your date format in control under Regional Setting (if you are using windows 2000 or windows xp pro).

The below information is the date format of each folder when my setting in Regional setting date format as: dd/MM/yy
Volume in drive C has no label.<br />
Volume Serial Number is 8CB6-CBB4<br />
<br />
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\kanel<br />
<br />
08/06/05 06:26 AM <DIR> .

The both above example show use about the change made in regional setting. Try to do it and notice that does it change like that?

Hi everyone. I have a couple of questions in regards to the windows registry settings. Hopefully, someone here will be able to solve my puzzle 
Objectives:
I have a workstation running Windows XP SP1. The workstation is a part of the domain and users authenticate against AD. I need to configure (for whatever reason) 1 local account to startup with no shell.
My Actions:
1) In order to configure a single account to run with no shell I make the following changes to the system registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell = "explorer.exe"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\system.ini\boot\shell="USR:Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell = ""
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\PersistBrowsers = 0
Results:
The registry changes above indeed made that particular user accout start up with no shell, however during initial startup explorer window (just a file browser) still comes up. My question is how to get read of this window. I did check Startup Folder, RunOnce, Run, RunOnce and RunOnceEx - nothing that could start explorer. Where else should I check?
Thanks for going through the entire post! I hope I was able to make myself clear, and I am really looking forward to getting some expert advice here.
Thanks a lot.

Hi, everyone. I have a new computer in my office running XP Pro. It does, of course, have the usual administrative shares, including C$. However I am unable to go to another computer running Windows XP, 2000, or 2003 and map a drive to my C$. This is true even though both computers have an Administrator account that I am logged into. When I try, I get continually prompted to enter a user/password, and no matter what I enter, including Administrator with its correct password (same on the two systems), I get a message back that it is invalid. I'm stumped.
I can create a share of my own and connect to it with no problem at all. But I can't map to my administrative share. I know it is not a limitation of XP Pro because my old computer had the same OS and could do it just fine.
What do I need to do to get it to work? Any help, please?
Thanks

I find this to be the case if I'm on a domain, but if I log one of the two machines as a user on that machine, then it works. I don't have a central server, just an ad-hoc network, but the two machines are notebooks and set up for the domain at work in the default logon.

I recommend you to check for 2 things:
1. Make sure that your administrator account have the same password on each machine.
2. Did you make any change to the security tab or share tab of your C drive property dialog box? Make change to the permission of user account might affect your permission to access the resource over the netowrk.
Good luck

In my opinion, drive is not relate to the battery. Try to find any option in the control panel. Maybe you made change to any configuration that might prevent your computer to chart during the time that you use the computer or check an option in CMOS, if there are any option that relate to the battery. Hope this would help you!!!

You can download all drivers for your laptop from Dell. Bu I think there doesn’t exist a driver for ‘charge-battery’
I myself own a Latitude D600. I don’t have such driver, but the battery charges as you would expect.
One simple test: Does your battery charge if the laptop is turned off? This way no drivers can be in the way. If not, your battery could be broken.
