Does anyone have experience using either VMWare, MS Virtual PC, or a similar product?
I need to set up a build/test environment for my personal use in building small desktop and mobile apps.
I plan to build a new server with Windows Server 2003, then create additional virtual servers on it for DB Server, Application Server, and Web Server. I'm guessing that I'll need roughly a 3GHz processor, 2GB RAM, and 200+ GB of hard drive. Does that sound adequate?
Which of the available Virtual products do you recommend and why?
Thanks,
Bob

Consider more RAM. Rember the part about "Virtual" memory is where these servers live, give them enough to run.

FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification :: PRINTER_CHANGE_PRINTER_DRIVER - additional data?

When FindFirstPrinterChangeNotification returns a value that includes PRINTER_CHANGE_PRINTER_DRIVER (e.g. when a printer driver is added/removed or modified on the server) is there any way of getting additional information on that event such as which driver on the server this occured for?

The "PRINTER_NOTIFY_OPTIONS_TYPE" doesn't seem to have any fields for anything except printer and print job notifications...or have I missed something?

I used some software to lock my drive, i by mistake lost that software. i am not able access the drive now. It is giving me a error msg:

"G:\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a Hard drive in this computer, or on a network. check to make sure the disk is properly inserted, or that your connected to internet or your network, and then try again. if it is still not located, the information might have been moved to a different location."

G:\ drive is my local logical drive. can anyone tell me the methodolgy, that can make this error message appear. or any method to come out of this problem. Please help asap. as i am having some important data present in it.

What is the name of the software that you use to lock your drive?

Go to Start -> Run and type gpedit.msc and navigate to User Configuration -> Administrative Templat -> Windows components -> Windows explorer and try to check the key "Hide these specific drive in my computer" and "Prevent access to drives in my computer".

THen what's the software you lost? Without it, there is no interface between Windows and the "filesystem" of your logical drive, and heance, no way to get at that data. WIthout the software that created the logical volume, you're SOL.

You're not getting it. This software created a "virtual" filesystem that only it knows how to access. Without it, you're screwed. It's like storing a bunch of stuff in NTFS under Windows, then removing the NTFS portion of Windows. No NTFS means no access to that data. In your case, no software to interpret this virtual filesystem, means no access to that data.

oh ok this is really very enlighting kind of stuff. you mean to say the software will make my drive's file system inactive. hence i will not be able to view it. Is it done with the help of registry or disk management?

Where did you get this software? Try to get it and install it again. I think this is the best solution.

IE SCRIPTING

my question is about IE scripting.
I have 100 notebook client. In Company i have 131.107.2.0 domain.
my proxy server is 131.107.2.7
when employees at work, they can connect to internet using proxy.
But When thay at home, there is no proxy, they have direct internet connection generally.
They cannot connect to net unless they uncheck "use proxy server" at ie properties,connection tab, lan settings part.

So i wantto write a script to prevent this.

I wrote a script but it is not working.

Any idea or where i find any script to do this.

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
if ( isInNet(host, "131.107.2.0", "255.255.255.0")
{
return "PROXY 131.107.2.7:8080";
}
else {
return "DIRECT";

}
}

Is it possible to assign 0 in the fourth octet? As far as I know 0 and 255 could not be assign as the host id in the fourth octet.

0 on the fourth byte represents a network address. it is not possible to assign a PC with such an address, but a network does have such an IP...

255 cannot be used either because it is used for masks...

So, why could he assign such number in the last octet of an IP address on his domain?
