Hey guys! I got some questions for you.. My dad wants to have a home server in our house... At first, he wanted some god-like server, which can do everything... But I talked him out of that pretty fast, because it needs A LOT of power, if you want to play games over a terminal session.. Anyways... The server should be able to hold all our data and to make it accessable... It'll also run a streaming software, so I can watch stored movies with my PS3... There we got the first problem... The PS3 can't play the *.mkv format, which means, that the server has to decode the movie and then send it to the PS3... I store all my bluray movies as *.mkv on my hdd, so more…

Well I put the server in like right after it was released maybe 10 days ago. All was fine until today. I went to run the service and it was gone. I went to admin tools and not even on the menu. went to event log and it says following since 6/23 The description for Event ID 300 from source WMServer cannot be found.

Hey guys I installed windows server 2008 (Enterprise edition) on my desktop and is using it as my main OS I have the 64bit version and I have a few questions. Am thinking of hosting a few game servers on it and letting the people I host them for have full access to it by running on another user account and letting them remote desktop to it. But my question is can you see what they are doing when they are remote desktoping it. Also can you limit what a user can do like stop them from using IE etc. Thanks Twin.

G'day all I have no idea on how to achieve this in windows server 2008. In linux, you can use LVM/software raid to create a volume that can be expanded to span new drives whilst retaining your data. On WHS, there is a unique storage pool system which allows you to add drives, and provides some redundancy. On windows server 2008, I don't think either exists, so my question is: what is the equivalent in windows server 2008? Basically I need to be able to add drives and expand a single logical storage area. Thanks everyone.

I was having issues with WMIPRVSE.exe consuming up to 40% of my CPU and slowing my system down. Through google I managed to determine that this was caused by The Windows System Resource Manager, and if I stop this service then my CPU usage returns to a more acceptible state. Now clearly I don't want to leave this service disabled as it is of course meant to manage my system resources, not use them all up, so I would prefer to fix the problem. I do not have SBS installed, nor any items stuck in the print spool, so that voids almost all the suggestions I found on google. Anyone got any suggestions how to resolve this ?

Hi, I have just installed the application on this server in a COM directory. The problem I am having is related to the firewall settings. RPC (135) connection is being made, but client cannot reach port which is dynamically opened by the server in range of 5000-5500. I set port range 5000-5500 in Component Services\My Computer\Properties\ Default protocol tab\ - properties of DCOM Protocols ... When client is trying to connect it gets error: RPC server is not available. If I switch off Winsows firewall (in Windows Firewall Settings) then everything is ok. What should I do to allow traffic on (5000-5500)? Why is not inbound connection (on dcom calls) opened?

Hi, I am using Windows 2008 Server and have it installed as a Windows 2000 domain controller. Out of pure stupidity I changed the drive letter which contained the SYSVOL share and managed to lock myself out of the computer. I somehow managed to get back in a restore most things, however I still have problems with backup. Windows complains about creating the shadow copy and looking into the Event Viewer I found out I had still not fully handled the File Replication Service to handle properly. The old SYSVOL location was e:\windows\sysvol\domain and the new one is c:\windows\sysvol\domain. But I continue getting the error: "The File Replication Service cannot re…

When going to disk management it does not connect and says "Unable to connect to Virtual Disk Service", MMC, Virtual Disk Service, and the iscsi service all appear to be working okay.

We’re excited to introduce our newest theme — Horizon! We’ve been testing Horizon internally for some time and are now ready to test here on Meta so we can get your feedback on how to continue improving this theme. In this topic, we’ll share the goals behind Horizon and provide guidance for how to test and share your feedback with us. Getting to know Horizon Horizon is a simple, beautiful theme that aspires to become the new out-of-the-box experience for Discourse sites. Who is Horizon for? While we hope that Horizon is a great fit for many communities, we created Horizon with specific users in mind — non-technical admins and everyday members. Non-technical admins are community admins who have limited technical expertise and no access to design or development resources. They don’t have the resources or know-how to customize Discourse’s appearance to work best for their community, but still believe that Discourse is a great fit for their community. Everyday members fall somewhere in between the one-time visitor and the elite power user. They regularly read and post in the community, and are more likely to visit Discourse primarily (if not exclusively) from their phones. We are proud that Discourse is so flexible and customizable, we want to make sure Discourse remains a great option for all communities, regardless of technical expertise or resources. We created Horizon for admins that don’t have access to design or developer resources, but still want a great looking community that your members will love. What’s different about Horizon? While our Default theme is a relatively blank slate, Horizon is an opinionated theme. That means we have made certain choices about how Discourse looks and operates while using this theme in order to provide a great overall user experience for our target users (described above). Here are some changes you might notice: Topic cards are less information dense. The most noticeable feature of Horizon is the topic card. We have pruned out as much information as we can to keep the topic list looking clean and approachable. Certain information, like a more robust list of topic participants and topic tags, are not visible on the topic card. Horizon is not intended to support additional customizations. Because we’re targeting an audience that isn’t able or interested in customizing Discourse’s appearance or behavior, Horizon is not guaranteed to work well with all theme components or customizations. That said, we’ve tested Horizon against the most popular theme components and the incompatibilities we’ve found so far are minor. We’ll work to address those over time. For now, we do not recommend activating theme components with Horizon or adding your own customizations. Horizon includes new color palettes that admins can enable to give members greater control over their community experience. Once enabled through the admin Color Palette settings, members can select from one of six theme-specific color palettes for a custom look and feel. Larger text in the reading area. You’ll notice that Horizon’s reading area (i.e. topics) has slightly larger text than the rest of the interface text. We’re experimenting with this differentiated text size with the hope that it makes topics easier to read, while keeping less important text — like sidebar links — more minimal and less distracting. Testing and sharing your feedback You can check out Horizon on Meta using the theme switcher in the bottom of your sidebar: As you test here on Meta or in your own community, you may run into issues with the visual design or incompatibilities with certain theme components or customizations. When that happens, please let us know. Your feedback will help us improve Horizon so that we can begin making it available more broadly. Please note that we may not address all feedback that we receive at this time. That doesn’t mean your feedback is invalid or invaluable — it just means we want to continue to test a certain idea or design decision to better understand how it serves the needs of our target users. Known issues / work in progress areas Here are a few areas where we’re actively working: Improving the topic timeline design. Right now it’s a little wide, we’d like to make it more subtle so it takes up less visual space and demands less attention. Identifying areas where layouts and styles aren’t applying correctly. The invite screens are one area where there are minor visual discrepancies. We’ve made a lot of these fixes already, but please keep letting us know as you find areas where things don’t look quite right. Touching up color palettes to ensure accessibility. Horizon has a more streamlined color system (and has inspired some new color palettes, e.g. Lily, Clover, Royal, Marigold, etc.). We’re working on making sure Horizon is accessible and has the proper contrast in light and dark modes. 3 posts - 3 participants Read full topic -

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
