It depends on what development technologies you have available. With .NET it is relatively simple - MSDN: Creating Windows Services[^]

If so, what tool do you use?
I host multiple domains on my IIS server (running Win 2003 server).
I need a tool that can tell me how much outgoing traffic each domain has used.
I need to be able to set bandwidth limits and have the site shut down when their monthly bandwidth is exceeded.
I also need GNU licensing or open-source or other Freeware.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

I installed 2 win2k system one in c: and other in D: (there is a good reason to install 2 win2k ).
now at the bootup a menu comes up asking to select one of the os, now both shows 'win2000 prof blah blah' now is there any way to rename these entries, so that the menus look more meaningful?

Login to any one of the 'win2000 prof blah blah'<br />
Right click 'My Computer'<br />
Select the 'Advanced' Tab<br />
Click on the 'Settings' button for the 'Startup and Recovery' section<br />
Reboot the system
If this doesnt work or if this seems to be complicated then,
Open the 'boot.ini' file in your c: drive
Edit the file (at your opwn risk)<br />
Reboot the system

Hi
Open Windows Explorer. Select the "C:" drive.
Edit boot.ini file as it follows:
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional installation on C" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional installation on D" /fastdetect
What you can modify in this file:
The number after timeout= represents the number of seconds you wish to display the boot menu.
So, if you choose 10, the computer will wait 10 seconds until it will boot the default OS which is in this case Windows 2000 Pro from the C drive.
The next line represents which is the default OS installation.
If your hard drive has 2 partitions and you wish to boot by default from the first partition (C drive) you can use the line specified earlier.
The message beetween " " it is what you see when your computer is starting.
So change only the message beetween " " with some text you like(as I did in my example if you like it).
Save the file. Please check that after saving it the file has the .ini extension and restart your computer.

Changing boot.ini file without strong knowledge could lead to an unusefull computer. Do it on your own risk!

Hi,
Doing the specified changes from my first answer is easy but if you play with something without knowing well what's all about you can really have a computer that doesn't boot anymore.
So I have added the disclaimer/notice in order to make aware of the risk.
happy computing
bye

Hi!
As a system Administrator(for security) I want to remove the sharing tab (used for folder and file sharing) from a User enviornment. I know we have to set some parameter in Registry. Please tell me exact parameter to set or remove to make it happen.
Is there any other way? According to my analysis it is the right which a user get by default. Hence I suppose above is the only way out

my system cache doesn't work as it should be working!
when I install a big app then the cache gets bigger and bigger until the whole RAM is full. the last size before I had to press RESET was 919.000KB. The RAM was full and the system was writing everything to the page file... no cache was freed anymore, it just got bigger and bigger. what is going wrong with this sh*t?
Don't try it, just do it!

I suspect the executable may have been built with the /SWAPRUN:NET or /SWAPRUN:CD options. Were you trying to run this installer from the network? Was it an auto-extracting archive?
Windows also seems to need to read the whole of a large MSI file before trying to install that.
I normally copy large installers from the network to my local hard drive before trying to run them, but then my network is a bit flaky, and has failed half-way through an install before now.

Hi All - I'm running an Windows 2003 Server box and am hosting several clients' websites.
I am looking for a tool that will monitor banwidth usage by month (configurable start day for the billing month based on when the client signed up) in near real-time. It also needs to be able to minitor the bandwidth for each domain seperately and preferably put the website offline when their monthly bandwidth is exceeded.
I am using open-source/GNU for most of my server tools and I need a free tool for this.
Any pointers would be appreciated!

Ah, more fun behaviors from Windows! While cleaning up the C: drive this morning, I located old Admin folders from previous installations on the same drive. Not knowing whether it is safe to delete them, I settled for deleting the contents of the Temp folder and Temporary Internet Files folder only. So far, so good. But then, when I emptied the Recycle bin, Windows Explorer shut down and restarted! That, of course, removed all the icons from the System Notification Area for processes I know are running. I know I can hunt down, kill, and restart each app in Task Manager to restore the icons, but is there a less laborious method of doing this?
I've felt much better since I gave up hope.

Yes: beat the developers of the software whose icons disappear around the head until they fix it.
Software that creates an icon with Shell_NotifyIcon should also listen for the message that Explorer (IE 4.0 Desktop Update and later) sends when it creates its taskbar. This is a registered message corresponding to the string TaskbarCreated .

Has any one successfully installed Win 2003 (MSDN Download) on an Asrock K7S8XE+ MB. No matter what I try if fails when it get to the video. I have tried several cards even one old pci I had laying around. I have changed the video from auto to agp 1x, etc to no avail. (This was the only suggestion I have found online.)
I have no problems with the eval edition that was supplied with the office 2003 preview, nor win95,win98, win ME, nt 4 or win 2000.
Very frustrating.
I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

It might be worth checking the ISO image with a tool like IsoBuster[^], or (if you wrote it to CD) checking that the file information on the CD is correct compared to the ISO.
We recently had an issue with Virtual PC where its network driver would cause a boot failure (Windows 2000) or complete failure of the network stack (Windows XP). It turned out that the driver was corrupted because Nero had written the disc incorrectly - busting the ISO with IsoBuster and installing from there worked fine. Note that this was not a problem with Virtual PC.
Interestingly, Windows checks the Link Checksum field in the driver SYS file when loading a driver, but not when installing a driver. You can install a corrupted driver, then only discover the failure when you reboot.

Mike,
Thanks for the link, good program to have.
Unfortunantly, no change for me. Still hangs when it get to the video.

Hi
can you explain or give a link about RAID ?
what is it and how does it affect performance of servers ?
|
|
|
|
|
You can find a brief description here[^]. RAID 0 provides an improvement in performance, but no fault tolerance. RAID 1 mirrors data on multiple drives, providing fault tolerance, but lower performance. RAID 5 has always seemed the most useful to me, as it spreads data across several drives and can reconstruct lost data when one drive fails.
