So I have two domians:
abc.co.uk
xyz.co.uk
abc.co.uk is set up and works fine on a Windows 2003 server - I can browse to it no problem.
I want to set up xyz.co.uk as an alias to abc.co.uk
Why is Googling this so hard? Anyway, I tried this:
Opened Admin tools / DNS
Expanded "Forward Lookup Zone"
Selected "abc.co.uk"
Right-clicked, selected "New Alias (CNAME)..."
Entered "xyz.co.uk" in the "Alias name" box, and "www.abc.co.uk" in the FQDN box (selected via "Browse..." button)
Didn't work.
Anyone know what I am supposed to do? Many thanks...

It's kind of the opposite way around.
You have to create the zone xyz.co.uk and create an alias that's pointing towards abc.co.uk...

"Kind of the opposite"...huh..? Come on, be nice to me! 
So now I have a new zone, xyz.co.uk
..and do "kind of the opposite" to before:
Still doesn't work.
I suppose it doesn't help that the terminology is somehat alien to me... sysadmin is not my forte, to say the least. But this is a simple enough task, surely - there must be a simple set of steps to follow....
So I have "zones" (whatever the <beep /> they are) for both abc.co.uk (the site) and xyz.co.uk (to be the alias)... please, now what?

Jesus H Christ, do people actually read that sort of stuff, much less understand it?  I absolutely refuse to believe things need to be even half as complicated...
Anyway, thanks... got something working by ignoring DNS altogether in the end, and just setting "Multiple identities for this website" in the advanced website settings in IIS manager! Seems to work, except not for subdomains, which is a bit of a nuisance but not critical at this stage..

Ok, so you have the zone abc.co.uk, in this zone you have the host (A-record) www which is pointing to 123.123.123.123, and by coincidence you happen to have a webserver on this ip-number.
On the same or different dns server you have the zone xyz.co.uk and you want the record www to point to the same server as in the abc.co.uk domain.
Then you have two choices, either make an A-record pointing the record www directly towards the ipnumber of the server or to create an alias (cname) that is pointing towards www.abc.co.uk.
The advantage of a cname is that if you change to a new server you only need to change the record in one dns-server.
Just remember to leave "host header value" in the IIS empty, as that will filter away all requests not having this value in the request.path

My experience of virus problems is that the best thing to do is just format the system and start again. Viruses are sneaky and once you have 1 it often opens up the doors for others. It's easy to get caught in a loop disabling one just to find you have 5 more hidden away.
If that isn't an option. Consider the following tips:
Start by downloading and running a full system scan using the latest version of an alternative virus checker. E.g. if you currently use AVG, try Avira or Avast:
AVG[^]
Avira[^]
Avast[^]
If they find anything, fix/quarantine and run a full scan again.
Get RootKitReveler[^] and run it.
Get Hijack this[^]. Run it an analyse the results.
If you don't understand the results of these tools, post them to a virus advice forum. There are loads of forums around that are dedicated to giving advice based on hijack this logs. (Don't post it here)
Both of these tools give advanced reports of the system. They are not automatic detection tools, they just give pointers to vulnerable or suspicious settings. Both tools are likely to find many results that are in actual fact harmless or windows components. Do not just blindly clean/delete everything found by these tools unless you understand exactly what you are doing.
CCleaner[^] is another useful tool that can help you disable auto start-ups and clean out unused/invalid/corrupt reg settings etc.
Consider reading and following the steps in this[^] article.
Good luck.
Simon

I want to design a program, that can backup current system, and write the data to a bootable ISO file, and burn this ISO file to the DVD. Next time, if I want to restore the system, I can input this DVD disk to the DVD Driver and restart the system.
Then the computer can boot using this DVD disk and is loaded to my program to restore the computer.
But now I meet the program that I can not make the bootable file, a 2k size file. I search in the google, but I can not find the result. Does any one can tell me how can I write the bootable file and what type program can be loaded by bootable file.
thks.

Hello
What's the maximum size of a NTFS drive ?
What's the maximum size of a FAT32 drive ?
Thank you
|
|
|
|
|
NTFS Standard volume: up to 2TB
If you create a dynamic volume: up to 2^64-1 clusters.
FAT 32: between 32 GB and 2 TB depending on operating system

What about WinXP SP2 (32 bit) ?
|
|
|
|
|

Can use up to 2TB.
But can format only 32GB, this limit is by design. If you want larger use NTFS, or format using a Boot disk from Windows Me   .

Uploading an Excel file?? From where? What's the error message??
There are no "supporting files" for Office. No prerequisites. No nothing you can download to "makes it work". It just does.

I've recently gotten interested in the embedded variants of Microsoft Windows. As a Windows XP user I edit a lot of settings both user-wide and service wide. If I have understood correctly then using Windows XP Embedded (which is not the same as Windows Embedded right?) then I can change more settings, edit which components and services get installed (smaller footprint) and edit low-level settings (like optimizing the OS to run of a CF card).
I've been searching for information on what I need, how the setup works, how configuration works, and other nifty options. But I haven't found anything really useful.
Can anyone shine some light on this?
Thanks,
//Johannes
