You can scan the ports too, and check if this answer, I recommend NMAP http://www.nmap.org[^]. It's the better.

hi
i am writting a code for displaying meta data files of any NTFS partition selected. I have successfully completed the task,;P the only problem is that i am unable to interpret the date/time fields in many attributes like $STANDARDINFORMATION and $FILENAME etc.
These fields are of eight bytes each like creation/modification time etc. i am able to get the hex values but how to convert these into normal date and time format.
thanking in anticipation
kind regards
fa

I believe these are FILETIME structures: a 64-bit count of 100ns (that's nanosecond) intervals since January 1, 1601. You can use FileTimeToSystemTime to convert.

Hello,
I have this strange problem with Windows XP. When a scheduled task starts running, a MS-DOS window pops up for the period of the run. When the task completes, the window disappears.
There is an option called "\nowindow" which can be specified so this window doesn't appear. But I suppose in Windows XP the "\nowindow" option does not work.
It would be of great help if I could get some way out for this.
Thank you in advance,
Vidya

Not too sure about where to post this msg but i thought it being an admin related task it should go here.
Anyway, is there a way I can tell if a service has suddenly stopped through the WMI. I can query services to see there status but is there a way i can set up an event query to see know when it stops?

As I've mentioned, a couple of months ago Windows2K Server failed to start after a completely normal shutdown. The useless error messages and many hours of troubleshooting have led to no solution, and I'm tired of running in Safe Mode, so it's time to reinstall the OS again.
I've backed up most things on a separate hard drive, and plan to erase one of the partitions on the primary drive to make space for an enlarged C: drive, so I guess there's not much reason to delay this much longer. The question is, since so many things have had service packs issued since the last install, what is the optimum order for applying them? The major ones are the OS, of course, VS6, SQL Server 7, .Net Framework 1.0 and 1.1. My first thought is to install Windows, then bring it up to the current SP first, then to install each separate application and update it fully before moving to the next. The order I plan to follow is Windows -> .Net Framework 1.1 -> VS6 -> SQL Server 7, but I recall that there was considerable interaction between VS6 and SQLS7. MDAC will also have to be updated, if I can remember how.
Should I consider a different order of installation? I know that WinNT SP6a had some strange requirements for ordering updates when applied to Small Business Server 4.5, and I hope to avoid such problems. Suggestions are welcome, and thanks in advance.

Windows

VS 6
.NET Framework (s) - as u mentioned 1.0, 1.1

I dont have any idea about Small Business server sorry
An update on what u did later in this post would be helpful

Why VS6 before the .Net Framework? And is there any reason to install the 1.0 version before the 1.1?
Assuming I manage to return online after this I'll certainly post the steps, and events (hopefully none) that result.

No priorities..

Actually... I had problems when I installed VS-6, when the PC was already loaded with .NET 1.0 & 1.1. On a clean install in a NEW PC with my given order, it didnt give any problem.
Since my problem was solved at that stage, I really didnt bother to think 'what & why it happened at that time'. Maybe, there were some other reasons too... which may allow VS6 installation to take place before .NET.
But if you have Crystal Reports installed in your PC... I'm damn sure that you have to make a REGISRTY modification to make your VS6 installation after that. This solution was given in MS site itself with the error message that you may get when the installation fails

Good info... I'll search for it before I start - probably next weekend. I had trouble applying a service pack to SQL Server 7 after installing the .Net Framework, but the more recent SP for it installed perfectly - you never know with MS stuff what's going to blow up. Worse, when it does it will give you no clue why.

Roger, not sure if this is too late but.
Make sure you install the items you are running prior to getting all of the updates. I found that on one machine I had run through the updates and then installed IIS. Non of the updates for it would install since they had already been done, yet none were applied to it. I would not be surprised if the same issues does not show up else ware. This may be what you are saying, just I am not reading it right.
I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

That's a good thought. I was thinking first of bringing Windows fully up to date, but I recall trying once to update SQL Server after doing so and found it impossible to install SP3. SP4 worked, though, and I never figured out why.

Had anyone had problems with msi file installing on the d drive when it should have installed to the c drive?
thanks

If you can customize the install, then one could theoretically place the installed files anywhere the OS permits according to security and file protection.
And, oh, yeah, no I've never had a problem with that.
If your D: drive is a CD/DVD drive, and the MSI keeps asking for it, it may be an "advertised" feature that is installed upon first use. Just put the install CD in the drive in that case.
Otherwise, you need more detail in your post about what exactly is happening.

Well I can open the MSI up in orca and mess around with it that way, but as is, I have some computers with a c and d hard drive. some times it inexplicably installs to the d drive when there is enough space to install to the c drive. is there something with msi that maybe says install to the drive with the most space available, or something like that?
thanks

I would like to programmatically monitor objects, via RegQueryValueEx() / HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. After hours trawling through all the documentation I could find on the web, two things are still confusing me:
(1) If I want to monitor a particular object, e.g. Processor, how do I know which object number to pass to RegQueryValueEx() ? I could look up the reg value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\[LANG]\Counter, but then I cannot assume the string "Processor" is unique (what's to stop a 3rd party app registering its own object or counter called "Processor"?) And obviously the object IDs (numbers) themselves will not be the same on every system (so you can't just hardcode them..) What am I missing here?
(2) For my own understanding, where in the registry is the information stored that links object IDs to the performance APIs that they relate to? i.e. When you call RegQueryValueEx(HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA,..), Windows has to work out which DLL relates to the object number passed .. so where does it look up the information ?
Many thanks, I'm stumped !!

Hello !
My name is Cristi and I have a big big problem.
I want to get the plug and play informations from a printer connected via parallel port (or usb). Using DeviceIoControl with IOCTL__PAR_QUERY_DEVICE_ID is great in Windows 2000 or XP, but on Windows 95,98 and Me it doesn't work at all. I tried defining myself this IOCTLs with CTL_CODE macro but in vain.
I need to query directly the device and not the driver.
Please, if anyone knows, tell me how can I obtain the plug and play information on an operating system like Windows 95, 98 or ME
You can write me at funnycreeps@go.ro
Thank you !

I found TechNet to have a wealth of info on WMI. Think I'll write my own Perfmon.

Hi:
I just noticed an extra tool bar in my internet explorer, it is for searching. I suspect some internet programs put it there without my permission. I want to get rid of it. I tried to right click mouse, and checked the view menu, but it is greyed.
I checked in add/remove programs, but found nothing.
Thanks for any response.
