Did you know

Did you know... How to disable the original Administrator account In Windows Server 2003, for the first time, you CAN disable the Administrator account. My point is that every hacker knows that Windows has a username called Administrator, so defend it by disabling the account. (Right Click the Administrator, Disable) Obviously you must create another account with administrative privileges.


Did you know... How to view Advanced features
As you are an expert, display all those hidden menus and folders. a) Go to the Active Directory Users and Computers, Select View (Menu) then check: Advanced Features. Now you should see the 'LostAndFound' folder and so be able to check for any orphaned users. b) Select the DNS Icon, View (Menu), Advanced. c) Device Manager, Show Hidden Devices.


Did you know... The easiest way to bring up the System Icon
(Windows Key) + Pause/Break (Key)


Did you know... How to Identify unused accounts
Use the DSQUERY computer -inactive NumberOfWeeks command to identify all machines that were not logged on to Active Directory during the specified NumberOfweeks.
Note that the command above should be used if your domain is running at the Windows Server 2003 functional level. If your domain still has Windows 2000 computers in it and is running in the mixed-mode functional level, use DSQUERY computer -stalepwd NumberOfDays instead.


Deploying a Windows XP Embedded Runtime
Deploying a Windows XP Embedded runtime to your device can be very easy, but there are a few tips to help you avoid the pitfalls. For clarity, I'm using "deploying an image" to mean moving the runtime image to the device and booting the runtime on that device; and for simplicity, I'll use a standard integrated device electronics (IDE) hard drive as our boot media.
