A few days ago I came across a problem, where a client computer which was in a Windows 2k3 SBS domain was not willing to synchronize with WSUS. I found a simple resolution: using the command ‘wuauclt /detectnow’. This step is
actually called “detection”. The term “synchronization” usually implies the communication between the WSUS server and microsoft.com.  The updates are then downloaded to the client (automatically).

Have you ever lost a local admin password or wanted to gain access to a computer without knowing the administrator password ? Well it’s easy to (re)gain access to it with this program: Admin reset tool ;You need just to download it, burn this .iso file onto a CD, insert it in the CD ROM of the computer you want to gain access to and boot the machine.

If used on users that have EFS encrypted files, and the system is XP or Vista, all encrypted files for that user will be UNREADABLE! and cannot be recovered unless you remember the old password again. If you don’t know if you have encrypted files or not, you most likely don’t have them. (except maybe on corporate systems)

This program was written by Petter Nordahl-Hagen where you can also get other instructions and FAQ.

If you have ever used a real remote computer system like Citrix, then you have probably been craving multiple Remote Desktop sessions since you first fired up Windows XP Professional and/or Media Center Edition. Here is a HACK (translated: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK), to enable multiple Remote Desktop sessions on your XP Pro or MCE 2005 box:

NOTE: You will have to have knowledge of the Windows operating system and more specifically the Windows Registry. If you have no experience with the registry, then I would recommend you find someone who does or leave these alone. I do not make any kind of warranty that this will work for you or your friends. This is provided for entertainment purposes only. Don’t call me if your computer stops working. Got it?

1. Print these directions so that you have them to work from.
2. Restart your computer in Safe Mode
3. Turn off/disable Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) and Terminal Services
4. Right click My Computer
5. Select Properties
6. Click on the Remote tab at the top of the window
7. UNCHECK the box next to, “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer“
8. Click OK
9. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
10. Find Terminal Services in the list
11. Right click on Terminal Services and click Properties
12. In the Startup Type box, select Disabled
13. Click OK to close the window

1. Here is a copy of the Terminal Services DLL – Save it to your Desktop or other suitable location
2. Using a file manager like Windows Explorer open C:\Windows\system32\dllcache
3. Rename the file termsrv.dll to termsrv_dll.bak or whatever you would like.
4. Copy the downloaded termsrv.dll file (the one you just downloaded from the web) to C:\Windows\system32\dllcache
5. Open the C:\Windows\system32 folder
6. Delete the file termsrv.dll in C:\Windows\system32

You should be good to go.

1. Prepare your language pack DVD, insert it in X driver, where X is your DVD drive. Locate your required language pack. For example, if we want to install German language pack, the lp.cab file will have a path of D:\langpacks\sl-SI\lp.cab. CAB file for Slovenian language, you can download it here.
2. Run command window with administrator privileges. To run it as an administrator, go to “all programs – accessories”, right-click “command prompt” and choose “run as administrator”.
3. In the command window, type the following line and press Enter, note that the space in between:
   

   dism /online /add-package /packagepath:d:\langpacks\si-sl\lp.cab

4. When a message pops up and tells you the operation is completed successfully, press “Windows key + R” to call the run window, type in regedit to run the registry editor.
5. Navigate to \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI UILanguage\eu-us and delete the key eu-us.
6. Restart your system, now your Windows 7 Professional should be switched to the Slovenian language version.
7. To change the language of “Starting Windows”, run the following command in the command window:
   

   bcdedit /set {current} locale Sl-SI
   bcdboot %WinDir% /l Sl-SI

Copy the following binaries from Windows 2k3 server (C:\Windows\System32\) to Windows Server 2008 (C:\Program Files\NTBackup\):

• ntbackup.exe
• ntmsapi.dll
• vssapi.dll

Then install the removable storage manager from server manager:

• Start Server Manager
• Click Features
• Click Add Features
• Select Removable Storage Manager
• Click Install

When NTBackup starts, if you see an error regarding removable storage, just ignore it and click “Do not show this again”.

I’m not sure, but it seems that it backup Exchange 2007 Databases too, for me it worked, but I didn’t tested restoring them.
