Re: DLL Registration problem Steve S9-Feb-04 7:14 Steve S 9-Feb-04 7:14  Is the Domain Admins group a member of "Administrators" on the local machine? Steve S Re: DLL Registration problem Shenthil9-Feb-04 17:35 Shenthil 9-Feb-04 17:35  Yes. It is. Still I couldnt' find the solution. Disabled services won't start! IISMan3-Feb-04 14:10 IISMan 3-Feb-04 14:10  I'm stumped. I have a machine running Windows 2000 Server with SP4. It is a remote server which I am accessing through Terminal Services as an Administrator. There are a ton of entries in the System Log saying "error 7001 Service Control Manager. " Currently the Server, Computer Browser, IISadmin service ,RPC services are all DISABLED and I can not enable them! When I try to start the services I get errors like: "System error 1058 has occured. The service could not be started because it is disabled or because it has no devices associated with it" or "Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start". I also can't open properties windows for any services to set them to start automatically. I can right click on the service names, but when I click on properties nothing happens. What can I do to get these services started again? Thanks in advance, Andre B Re: Disabled services won't start! Mike Dimmick5-Feb-04 0:22 Mike Dimmick 5-Feb-04 0:22  I think your problem is that the RPC service is disabled. COM relies on the RPC service. I recommend getting hold of the sc.exe utility. You can find it in the Platform SDK[^], or it's also in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. You can download it here[^] (scroll down to SC.EXE). It ships with Windows XP and Server 2003. sc.exe talks directly to the Service Control Manager, bypassing the UI you're having problems with. You probably need to do the following in order to get RPC going again: sc config RpcSs start= auto sc start RpcSs Once you have that, you should be able to use the user interface again. Re: Disabled services won't start! Mad Networkist14-Feb-04 2:59 Mad Networkist 14-Feb-04 2:59  If I understand you well, here is the answer. There are three possible options for the services. Automatic, Manual and Disabled. On automatic, the service start when the server boot. On manual, it start on demand. On Disabled, it cannot start. Go to the Services item on the Administration tools and, pointing the service you want, go to the properties on the contextual menu. In the dialogbox, chage the value disabled by manual (listbox). Of course, you need server administrator rights. There is no such thing as a free lunch Windows Registry Badut2-Feb-04 12:18 Badut 2-Feb-04 12:18  I got a question about some registry settings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Biosinfo\SystemBiosDate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0\~Mhz HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0\Identifier HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0\VendorIdentifier Would anyone be able to tell me how Windows obtains the information in these settings? Also what would happen if I changed one of them (eg. change ~Mhz to a value lower/higher than my CPU speed)? Much appreciate any help Re: Windows Registry Matt Newman2-Feb-04 13:57 Matt Newman 2-Feb-04 13:57  I'm not sure, I am guessing it checks the hardware on boot. Badut wrote: Also what would happen if I changed one of them (eg. change ~Mhz to a value lower/higher than my CPU speed)? Nothing, ~Mhz is just used to display in the My Computer dialog (possibly some other locations too) It would just affect what is shown there.

Matt Newman wrote: Nothing, ~Mhz is just used to display in the My Computer dialog (possibly some other locations too) It would just affect what is shown there. So I guess it's a similar situation with the BiosDate, Identifier and Vendor Identifier. These registry entries are for display only and they can be changed without affecting system operation?

But chances are any software that would need such information could just check vs the actual hardware.

I want to run certain programs under the guest account that need certain rights. I cannot find any information on how to set permissions for one single program (like setting permissions for a daemon on linux). Is this even possible? Thanks. A student knows little about a lot. A professor knows a lot about little. I know everything about nothing. Re: Single process priviliges Matt Newman31-Jan-04 6:08 Matt Newman 31-Jan-04 6:08  Is it an NT service, or just a regular program? If its just a regular program just right click on it and click Run as, its right below Open. If its an NT service you can change the account it will run under in the services control panel (found under administrative tools). Its under the log on tab for the service properties.

But I don't want other users to type in the administrators password. Exemple: When a user logged on as 'Guest', it runs a program, the program should have administrator priviliges by default. When you use the runas program, you'll have to type in the password of the specified user over and over again.

Re: Single process priviliges Matt Newman31-Jan-04 9:27 Matt Newman 31-Jan-04 9:27  Ok, I see what you mean. I think there is away to progmatically set the user it is running as, but I have never done it. Hopefully someone who has will respond.

The original question was 'Can I run a program with SETUID on', translated from UN*X-speak to Windows-speak. I believe the answer is no, you cannot. To impersonate another user requires the other user's password. RunAs is the Windows equivalent of 'su'. There is no equivalent of 'execute as owner' in Windows. You could, programmatically, using SSPI, create an impersonation token, but again, that requires the user's credentials (guess how RunAs works?). It would be difficult (and foolish) to make available the password to an application without also running the risk that it would become widely available, not to mention the difficulties of keeping it in step with any password changes (although password notification would be one mechanism). Steve S Problem Tomcat sessions Under IE after installed VS.NET dje_jay28-Jan-04 7:37 dje_jay 28-Jan-04 7:37  Hi! For an another project, i need a Tomcat running. But since i installed VS.NET, i've problems with my sessions in my JSP pages... (Only under IE - and in the lan too). Perhaps it's about the web.xml(in tomcat)... But i can't find witch parameter to change... Does anyone have an idea? Thanks Delfosse Jérôme Add-in PCI IDE Card Michael Martin26-Jan-04 15:15 Michael Martin 26-Jan-04 15:15  I have GIGBYTE GA-7VKMLS[^] motherboard which has the standard two IDE ports. They are both currently full with the following hardware - Primary Master - Maxtor 6Y120PO ATA-133 HDD Slave - Seagate ST380021A ATA-100 HDD Secondary Master - Lite-on XJ-HD166S DVD-ROM Slave - Lite-on LTR-52327S 52x CD-RW I have been finding that there is a bit of slowness when accessing the hard drives that I think may be caused by conflicts on the primary IDE channel. Plus I have an Imation LS-120 drive that has been sitting shrink wrapped on the shelf for the past 8 months looing at me. Which of course I want to put in but don't really need too. So I have been thinking about buying a Skymaster PCI/IDE ATA-133 add-in card (sorry can't find a link anywhere). I have the money in my pocket now and so obviously want to go get it now, but thought I should pass this by the Code Project gurus before I do. Note I bought one of these to put in a computer at work that could only see 64GB of a new 80GB HDD I bought. Haven't gotten around to installing RedHat 9 on it yet but the initial hardware setup seemed to go very well. My plan is to setup the hardware in the following way - Onboard Primary Master - Maxtor 6Y120PO ATA-133 HDD Secondary Master - Seagate ST380021A ATA-100 HDD <edit>This was meant to be a HDD and not a DVD-ROM</edit> PCI Card Primary Master - Lite-on XJ-HD166S DVD-ROM Slave - Lite-on LTR-52327S 52x CD-RW Secondary Master - Imation LS-120 Anyone see any hidden dangers I can't? Or anyone out there with experience trying something like this who has mastered the problems found? <edit> After buying the card I decided to look more carefully at my case. It only has a spot for one FDD that has access to the outside world. So this means removing the standard FDD and replacing it with the Imation LS-120 drive. The BIOS supports the drive and booting from it and all. But thinking about it leads me to believe I would have to connect it to one of the IDE ports on the MB. Anyone agree with this belief? </edit> Michael Martin Australia "I suspect I will be impressed though, I am easy." - Paul Watson 21/09/2003 Re: Add-in PCI IDE Card Matt Newman27-Jan-04 4:53 Matt Newman 27-Jan-04 4:53  Michael Martin wrote: I have an Imation LS-120 drive that has been sitting shrink wrapped on the shelf for the past 8 months looing at me. They still make those? The only problem I can see with your setup plan is you went from 2 HDs and 2 Opticals to 1 HD and 3 Optical.

I just stuffed up. The whole purpose of my idea is to put the two HDD's on seperate IDE channels to see if the slowness I am experiencing is caused by IDE conflict. I really can't believe I checked that post twice for mistakes, then modified it and checked it again and still made a glaring mistake.

I'm pretty sure I will be able to boot from the DVD-ROM or CD-RW that will be plugged into the PCI IDE card. I have the 80GB HDD plugged into it in the computer at work and the system boots from that HDD. So in theory the optical drives should still be bootable on my machine.

Most likely a config problem where a group isn't specified, or is specified by name but doesn't exist, since that probably maps to -1 when looking up the name. I did know this stuff once, then got sucked into the MS world.... Steve S
