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…

Hi, I install a new Windows 2008 server with WDS on it. 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 use the command "sysprep -activated -pnp -reseal -mini -reseal -reboot. It is a problem of my image server or what? I didn't not use any unatendend file for that. Thanks for any help :)

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…

Is it possible to query "Applications and Services logs" using WMI/WQL, as we do for querying Windows Logs (i.e, SELECT * FROM Win32_NTLogEvent) ? Querying Win32_NTLogEvent returns only Windows primary logs, how can we query Application and Services log, if possible for instance Microsoft-->Windows-->GroupPolicy/Operational events Thanks in advance, Bhaskar

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?

I have installed Server 2008 web x64 on my PC and intend using it as a workstation. I'd like to know how to do a couple of things.. 1. I'm not worried about login security. How can I automate/disable the login process. 2. No serving will be done, I will be browsing, gaming, burning, word-processing, ripping and torrenting. Is there a comprehensive list of services I can turn-off?

Hi, First post Hopefully this is the right forum but I have no means of testing this. When installing IIS on SBS 2008 does the installation require the CD to install correctly? I know with Server 2003 you require the CD but for each version of SBS, Data Center, etc of 2008 is the cd required? Thanks

Hello All, I need to run SQL Server Workgroup/Standard 2005/2008 for a group of about 10 to 15 people. That is ALL the server needs to do. I looked at SBS 2008 and even it seems a bit overkill with all of the features it has. Is there a better small server Windows OS choice? Thanks, Craig

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
