I installed Windows Server 2008 Web edition (64bit). I installed Skype. All my online contacts remain blanked-out yet my telephone contacts are green and good to go. I installed Network Magic.

I installed Utorrent but I get this message http://www.imagef1.net.nz/files/Untitled1242162087.jpg when I try to open the torrent. If anyone has experienced these programs I'd appreciate some help.

The hardware I'm running in is the following: Manufacturer: HP Model: ProLiant ML350 G5 Processors: 2 CPU x 2 GHz(dual core) Processor Type: Intel® Xeon® CPU 5160 @ 2.00GHz Hyperthreading: Inactive Total Memory: 6.00 GB I had WS 2008 installed in the PC and it found 4 CPU, one for each core.

Hi All I have installed windows2008 server in its own forest with its own DNS/DHCP etc - completely in its own network (separate addresses) in itw own VLAN. On another VLAN I have another windows server 2003 installation. Both these installations were never initially designed to share resources. Now I have been told that 2 users in the windows2003 network needs to be able to login to the windows2008 network. What was really required was that the users be able to select the windows2008 domain from the XP logon dialogue box. I have not done much in the way of trusted domains or forests before. So what I really want to do is a one way trust so that domain windo…

I am able to make image and it is working pretty well, almost all of the time :confused: My problem is that sometimes, after the image processing, the keyboard and mouse is not working on some HP and Sun workstation after the mini reseal of sysprep operation of Windows XP.

I have hyper V installed and running. The guest operating systems can not access the virtual network nic. I have linked the virtual switch adapter as external to the virtual guest operating system. The guest operating system does not see a nic at all. I think I need to unbind the extra nics in the host system. I am only running hyper V without windows 2008. How do I unbind the extra nics from the command line?

Hello, We are working on an application that uses DHCP server on Windows 2003/2008 for IP allocation. For one requirement, we have added IgnoreBroadcastFlag to windows registry, to unicast DHCP responses, as per the following link. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780718.aspx This works fine on Windows 2003. However, when the IgnoreBroadcastFlag is set to 0 on Windows 2008, we are not getting expected results. I haven't found any relevant link for Windows 2008. Is this flag supported on Windows 2008? Is any documentation available for same? Is there any way to check in the Windows 2008 DHCP server, to find out exactly where it is failing? I d…

Hello Everyone, I have been looking for a tool that will import an XML file into a 2008 server that adds roles. I know I can use the ServerManager tool, but I'm told there is a tool that can import selected roles, and also exports roles that exist on a server to an xml file. Has anyone heard or knows of this tool?
