a Savin 7570 printer with scanner worked well with Win2K. with Win2008, printer works fine; BUT attempts to get scanner feature set up fails. It uses SMB to validate path and subsequently transfer scanned documents to folder on server. Printer technician does not know Win 2008 server. I believe that it is additional security or new level of SMB that needs modification to be able to recognize and respond to printer attempt to validate storage folder. anyone got suggestions?

Hi! I have recently moved to the windows server 2008. My 32 bit com+ application used to have configuration file located at: system32 directory. When I had copied the config file to the system32, it was copied automatically to syswow64. I have read somewhere that an application reading system32 directory is automatically and transparently redirected to syswow64 directory. So here goes my questions: 1) Is it enough to copy the config file only to syswow64, should it also been copied to system32? 2) I think, that once when I copied the file to system32 it was copied to the syswow64 and deleted from system32, why? 3) Is it possible the situation that the con…

I have a HP Proliant running Windows 2008 Server . I have presented the FC SAN luns from two HP EVA storage arrays. I was using (bus/target/lun) details available in disk drive properties in windows to uniqly identify the luns. I have obserevd bus/target/lun id's are unique for luns from the same storage array. But i have read the trio (bus/target/lun) will be duplicate for the luns from other EVA storage. ie: two luns from differnt storage arrays can have the same (bus/target/lun) in windows Is the trio(bus/target/lun) reliable to uniqly identify the FC SAN luns from different storage arrays in windows?

Hello. I have just setup a new Windows Server 2008 Standard at the office.I have also created a new user in our domain which we have here. I want to make this user administrator of the new server in order to perform a TeamFoundation Server installation. Although I have declared that user in the administrator group it seems that I cannot do anything when I am logged in as that user because I take a message that all that I am doing is restricted by policy. I found informations about User Account Control and hidden administrator enabling but I am even more confused. Can you please help? Thank you.

Hi, we have a Windows 2008 R2 Server and a 500GB external LAN HDD. I want to run a Backup on the external HDD. So I connected the Shared Folder on that drive with "net use" and created an ".vhd" on it. This I used as Target for the Backup. The backup worked well for approximately one week. After a reboot I was able to connect the image anymore. I always get this Error: "Die Version unterstützt diese Version des Dateiformats nicht." If I copy the vhd Image to an internal drive and try to connect this, it works. Thanks and sorry for my English.

In previous versions of windows, moving a folder (with many subfolders/files) to a different path on the same drive would simply update the location of the folder in the file table and not require any action or calculation on what was actually in the folder. When I perform this on windows server 2008, it first calculates the size of everything in the folder, then performs the move and this can take quite a long time for folders with lots of content. Does anyone know if this is expected behavior and/or if there is a fix?

At the office I run MS Vista Business with the fileserver/domain server/webserver/anything else server running Windows Server 2008. The user profiles are configured (using folder redirection) so that the windows profile is hosted on the fileserver (e.g. \\server\users\jonathan). Recently I had a few issues: 1. According to the admin's logs I was told I forgot to log off from a laptop before logging on to another terminal. Afaik, previous versions of windows used to warn the users when the user tried to log on to another terminal. Is it considered safe to logon to more than one terminals, or, would it be helpful if a warning was displayed? 2. Windows profil…

Hi, For a project I need to have W2008 running for a while, preferably on a physical machine. So I'm exploring this route before going virtual. This is the setup: HP 8530w laptop 200Gb internal sata HDD 8 Gb RAM External sata HDD Windows 7 is installed on the internal HDD. I'd like to install w2008 on the external HDD. The e-sata drive is recognized in w7, and I set the boot order in the BIOS as CD/DVD-esata-internal HD. I boot from the w2008 DVD and select disk2partition1 as the destination. The install runs until first reboot. Then the error appears: /windows/system32/winload.exe is either corrupted or missing. BCDEDIT output: Windows Boot Manager ----…

Ever since we introduced the admin sidebar, our long term goal has been to bring a more comprehensive search to the admin interface that helps admins and moderators find exactly what they need without having to dig through many pages and settings manually. This method is so much faster than the old way, and we are excited to see if it helps you navigate the admin interface more efficiently . Finding what you’re looking for You can launch a quick search from anywhere in the admin interface with the shortcut Ctrl+/ , or on macOS, ⌘ +/ . This will bring up a window like this: You will see here that there are several different checked boxes beneath the input. These are the types of things you can search from here: Pages - Every page in the admin interface, including sub-pages not shown in the sidebar, and plugin pages Settings - Every site setting, which includes the setting description and keywords Themes - Every installed theme, whether they are enabled or disabled Components - Every installed theme component, whether they are enabled or disabled Reports - Every admin report, which includes a description of the report You can click these boxes to filter out the various types of search results. Here are some examples of each: Pages Settings Themes Components Reports You can also visit a full page version of the search by pressing Enter when results are being shown, or by clicking “Search” in the admin sidebar, which will take you to /admin/search. Enabling admin search You can turn this feature on with the experimental admin search enabled groups setting, which you can find in the Experimental config page at /admin/config/experimental: Note that when this feature is enabled, the keyboard shortcut for the admin sidebar filter is used for the search instead. Testing and sharing your feedback We are opening up this feature for feedback now, please post in this topic if you have any or if you notice any bugs that need to be fixed. At this time, we won’t be going much deeper into improvements for this search, but we will make it as good as we can in its current state. That being said, there are some known limitations or improvements to be made: There is currently no ranking of search results, they are returned in the same order as the types of results (e.g. Pages, Settings, Themes, Components, Reports) The fuzzyness of searching is pretty basic, but is usually good enough to find what you need if you vaguely know the name When you click on a setting, usually it opens a page and filters the site settings on that page, at some point we want a fancier solution which highlights the part of the page you were looking for 3 posts - 3 participants Read full topic -

We have added several new features to Discourse based on popular theme components to make it easier to customize the design of your community. In this topic, we’ll share more about these new core features, how to use them, and provide information about they compare to the theme components that inspired them. Header search The header search feature moves search from the magnifying glass in the top right corner to a more prominent input field in the site header. When more header space is needed (such as when scrolling a topic), the search will revert to the magnifying glass to save room. To turn on header search… In the admin area, go to your site settings. Find the Search experience setting. Update this setting to “Search field in site header”. Click the green check to save. Header search feature vs. Advanced Header Search component Header search was inspired by the Header Search theme component, which we’ve renamed to Advanced Header Search to distinguish it from the core feature. You should use the Advanced Header Search component when you need to support external searches (i.e. searches outside of your Discourse community). Otherwise, you can use the header search feature that’s now part of Discourse core. Welcome banner The welcome banner greets members and visitors and adds a prominent search bar to your topic lists. The welcome banner and header search features are compatible with each other so that header search will be hidden while the welcome banner is visible. To turn on welcome banner… In the admin area, go to your site settings. Find the Enable welcome banner setting. Enable this setting. Click the green check to save. To customize the message displayed on the banner, go to the Site Texts area, and search for “welcome_banner”. You can modify text strings for registered member greeting, anonymous user greeting, and search field. Welcome banner vs. Advanced Search Banner component Welcome banner was inspired by the Search Banner component, which we’ve renamed to Advanced Search Banner to distinguish it from the core feature. You should use the Advanced Search Banner component when you want to use custom background images for the banner, enter multiple lines of text in the banner, or change who can see the banner (i.e. logged in members, logged out users, or both). Otherwise, you can use the welcome banner feature that’s now part of Discourse core. Category icons and emoji You can now use icons and emoji to distinguish categories, instead of the colored square. To use category icons / emoji… When creating or editing a category, change the Style setting to Icon or Emoji. Choose the icon or emoji you want to use. The color will determine the icon color (if using) and impact other areas where a color is associated with the category, such as on the /categories page. Click Save Category. Category icons and emoji vs. Category Icons component Category icons and emoji were inspired by the Category Icons component, which we will soon be deprecating in favor of this core feature because it supports more customization (i.e. emojis) and offers a much simpler setup experience. For those currently using Category Icons, we recommend moving your icon customizations from Category Icons to the core category settings for longterm support and ongoing feature improvements. In our testing, the component settings override the core feature settings, but these were not designed to be used together. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

Quick PSA: github.com/discourse/discourse FEATURE: when rich editor is enabled markdown is in monospace main ← monospace opened 03:34AM - 01 Apr 25 UTC SamSaffron +11 -1 - adds .d-editor-container--rich-editor-enabled to d-editor-container - conditio…nally swaps textarea to monospace when siteSettings.rich_editor is enabled For those of you testing the new composer (either here on meta or your own site) we just swapped the markdown (aka. source code) font to a monospace font. This helps clarify to users that you are in “markdown” mode vs “rich” mode. The change aligns the font choice to what is generally accepted in the industry (reddit / stack exchange) The change only takes effect on sites with rich editor enabled, and should be live here in 20-40 minutes. 11 posts - 6 participants Read full topic

Discourse 3.0.2 Stable Release Discourse strongly recommends that all sites follow the default tests-passed branch of Discourse. The “stable” branch is more focused on lack of change than lack of bugs - all releases, including those on tests-passed and beta are production ready. Security Updates This release includes fixes for these security issues reported by our community and HackerOne. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-4p63-qw6g-4mv2 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
