In attempting to install Windows Server 2008 I get past all of the prompts and choices to the point where the install says: Copying Windows files (0%)... The install never advances beyond this 0% however and eventually the hourglass turns into a regular pointer cursor. There are no error messages or anything to help understand the problem... just the freeze. Any ideas or experience with this? On a less important but also confusing issue, I notice that the Windows install - Advanced option - doesn't give me an option to partition my drive. I do reach one window that says: To make changes to partitions, restart Windows from the installation disc. But…

Hello All, I am new to TS but I want to setup a terminal server for a primary school in the netherlands. 30 users will connect to the server. Some users will use program X & Z and others will use program X & Y. How can I hide program Z for the second group of users... do I do this with security settings on the folders? Or is there an other (simpler way).. I need the users to have a windows look a like desktop (also for learning purposes (children need to get familiar with windows)) so remote apps is not an option... Thanks for your advise. Peter

Hi all! I read the product overview of MS Server 2008 Standard Edition and come across this issue: What does it means by "Supports up to 4 multi-core processors"? I mean, let say if I am using a dual core processors, does that means 2 of those reached the max already? Or when I am using a Quad Core processors, what is the max number of such processors is supported? Thanks. Regards, MR Adin

On the same hard disk, I've noted that the UI for sharing of different sub-directories within the same hard disk is slightly different. I checked within Folder Options > View > User Sharing Wizard is checked, so I would have assumed that both shares would have to follow the UI for the 2nd sub-directory. The hard disk was previously configured on Windows XP, and, might have retained some of the sharing settings for the first share. See screenshots at http://cid-b712073b3513eb8e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/shares%20on%20giorgio.doc.

I installed Win 2008 on an old laptop just to play with, probably should have used a virtual-PC. I can't get the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network connection to work. How do I format or unpartition C-Drive so I can go back to XP or something that will run better on this old laptop? Thanks Neal Walters 3WCloud - Achieve your goals now!

Hello all! First post! =] Ok, little bit of a background. Before I get hated on for using 2k8 as a desktop OS, I know. I've been using it for a bit now, and I really prefer this OS to anything else. This machine IS my work machine, so I'm not really using it to play games, chat on the internet, or any other shananagins. Its my work computer! Well, since it is my work machine, and NOT an actual server, persay, one that provides any services on my work network, there are some items that I want to avoid. Being a DC is a big one. But I still need access to AD and what not. So what I did was made an instance of MMC on XP SP3 with my AD, DNS, DHCP, RDP, management sit…

Hello, We have different offices in our organisation. Each of them has their own file server (Windows Server 2008) and network components (Router, Switch,...). DC is located centrally. All the users work with Windows Vista on their machines. When there is a power cut in an office, we get problems. When the power comes back up the server comes up quicker than the router and switch and because of this the server doesn't get an ip-address!! Is there some setting that will tell the server to renew his network configuration after X amount of time or at least when he has no valid ip-address? Thx Olivier

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. When I start it the 'platform service' continually crashes. The Network Magic site says it's compatible with Server 2008. UTorrent. 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.

I'm running WS 2008 Enterpise Edition SP1 in a virtual machine. I'm using VMWare ESXi 3.5 Server. 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.

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
