I prepare to have the class on MCP next week, I would like to have some idea from all of you, what should I do to be success both in the learning process and pass an exam? Roath Kanel APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office Re: To be success in MCP Roger Wright28-Jul-04 7:07 Roger Wright 28-Jul-04 7:07  Roath Kanel wrote: what should I do to be success both in the learning process and pass an exam? I haven't bothered to get any certifications, as they are of no value in a market where employers are willing to pay only minimal wages to professionals, but I do teach A+ Tech certification at the local college. From that experience I can tell you that the single most important factor in passing the exam is practice. My students run the gamut, from those who attend every class and participate in class assignments, to those who rarely show up and settle for reading the text. The difference really shows when it comes time to take a test. Those who have laid hands on the hardware always far outperform those who think they can pass by reading the book. It is critical to have hands-on experience to reinforce what the text has to say, and to learn what the book failed to mention. Whether you are taking a class on a piece of software or hardware makes no difference. When you are offerred a chance to exercise your knowledge, take advantage of it. Use your new skills, and learn from the mistakes you will inevitably make; don't just be content to sit in the back and take notes. Good luck!

The primary purpose is take advantage to gain knowledge about networking as much as possible (I have to support an idea for IT in my organization). The second purpose is pass the exam to get the certificate (to certified my knowledge). Some of my teacher said as you mention above too that practic is the best way to learn in this class. But I face some challenge (I know that I will face it), practic in school have a lot of material to learn. But I think practic at school is not enough, I like to practic at home alot after come from school. At my home only two computer were connected together. No switch/hub, no router, no backup tab... the other network component that could be use to practic at my home. What should I do?? Anyway, thank you very much for your comment and it is a good advice for me before taking this class. Roath Kanel APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office Re: To be success in MCP Roger Wright28-Jul-04 12:35 Roger Wright 28-Jul-04 12:35  You're right, practice in class is not enough. Sadly, many of my students can't afford a computer at home and so have only my class to use for practice. I strongly encourage them to read the subject chapter before class so I can give only a brief lecture and maximize the time they have to get their hands dirty. It's really the best way to learn! Since you're going to be studying networking, invest now in a cheap hub/switch for your home and practice setting up your home net using the various protocols in Windows. Check into the Resource Kit tools available on the installation CDs and online at MS TechNet, too. Learn to use the command line tools efficiently and you'll be far ahead of many networking "professionals" I've known. You can have hours of fun using ping, tracert, net, route, and other built in commands, as well. One of the hardest concepts for my students to master is IP sub- and super-netting. Heck, some days I confuse myself on that subject. But it really is fundamental to modern networking and rather fun! If you're going to do any pre-class studying, that's where I'd focus. You won't suffer from that bunny-in-the-headlights dazed feeling that many of mine get when we hit that chapter. Enjoy the course!

In my country (Cambodia) the second hand computer is very cheap (around 120$), but I never heard about second hand hub, router, switch... I might check on the market whether it is available or not. I want to setup a small professional networking at home to learn and gain the experience as much as possible. Thank you very much for your adivce, During the class if I have any problem I will post it out and share it with the other.

I imagine this is what is causing the services applet in XP to gray out all the configuration for it. Is there a way I can find out how to write my own Security reg keys like this for other services to keep people from tampering, etc? P.S. I've already "googled" the matter lol but maybe someone knows the answer elsewhere. Thanks in advance. Re: Windows Services Security Mike Dimmick24-Jul-04 23:37 Mike Dimmick 24-Jul-04 23:37  It's the Access Control List for the service object. You can view the ACL for a service using the sc tool: C:\>sc sdshow w3svc D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY) (A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA) (A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU) (A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU) This output is in Security Descriptor Definition Language [SDDL] format. To set the ACL on a service from code, use SetServiceObjectSecurity. From the command line, you can use sc sdset. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder Outlook Free/Busy Issues Jamie Nordmeyer23-Jul-04 5:19 Jamie Nordmeyer 23-Jul-04 5:19  Hi all. Our Exchange server is Exchange 2003 running on Windows 2003 Server. The client machine in question is running Windows 2000, SP3, and Outlook XP (10). The problem I'm having is that his Outlook client isn't publishing his Free/Busy information to Exchange, despite the setting being set for 6 months worth of data. I've ran Windows update and Office update, uninstalled Office, ran RegClean, and reinstalled office, all to no avail. I know it's Outlook, and not Exchange, because an article on the net suggested deleting the user specific Free/Busy entry on the exchange server, and Outlook would rebuild it. I did this with my own account, and indeed, my Free/Busy entry was recreated. Not so with this particular user. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Kyosa Jamie Nordmeyer - Cho Dan Portland, Oregon, USA Re: Outlook Free/Busy Issues Jamie Nordmeyer23-Jul-04 5:46 Jamie Nordmeyer 23-Jul-04 5:46  You know how sometimes just talking a problem out helps you solve it? Case and point. I went back down to the users machine and deleted his Outlook profile, then rebuilt it. I assumed (incorrectly apparently) that the profile would be deleted when I uninstalled Outlook. It wasn't. Either way, this fixed the problem. Apparently something in his profile had been corrupted. Weird. Kyosa Jamie Nordmeyer - Cho Dan Portland, Oregon, USA PC goes to sleep Lance Scott22-Jul-04 4:17 Lance Scott 22-Jul-04 4:17  Hello, I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. But it only happens in the Windows environment. What happens is the PC turns off power to the monitor and CD drives after booting up to the logon screen or sometimes I can get past that and actually get into Windows before it goes to sleep. It acts like when the power saving options are set to turn off the monitor at a certain time. I checked that when I could get on and it wasn't set to go off for 30 min. I then turned it off all together. I also set the BIOS back to defaults. After it goes to sleep, the PC is still on and the HD light is still on, but after it goes to sleep, I can't move the mouse or strike a key to get it to wake up like normal. I have to power it all the way off and restart it. It sometimes will not even get to the logon screen before clicking off. It just almost makes it to it. Very intermittent lately to when it goes off. But, I've noticed it's doing it more often now where I can't get on at all most of the time. I've tried to reformat the HD and reinstall XP thinking I had a virus or something. But, once I get into the XP windows looking setup screens(after the first install restart) it blinks out again. It won't do that when I am in the beginning DOS looking setup XP install screens. I even tried my WIN98 disk and got through the whole install before it decided to blink out again. Other things I've tried - another video card in another PCI slot. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this enough information? Thanks Lance Re: PC goes to sleep Mekong River22-Jul-04 4:55 Mekong River 22-Jul-04 4:55  Hi, I used to have a problem like you too during the last 2 years. I found this problem because my monitor is too old (more than 4 years). I think the performance between the vga card and monitor is no more compatible together. Try to check vga card, or if you have a friend try to exchange your monitor for a while. If it has the problem it might become vga card, or if nothing problem it might become your monitor. Roath Kanel APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office Re: PC goes to sleep Lance Scott22-Jul-04 5:21 Lance Scott 22-Jul-04 5:21  Thanks for the response Roath. The thing is, I've already tried 2 different monitors and another PCI video card with the same problem resulting. But, I might just try a brand new video card... not sure what to do at this point. Lance Re: PC goes to sleep Roger Wright22-Jul-04 7:17 Roger Wright 22-Jul-04 7:17  First off, boot into SETUP and disable all power saving features in the BIOS. Some BIOS types are not compatible with Windows. Let Windows manage the power, or disable it, too. While you're in the BIOS settings, check to see if the 'PnP-aware OS' option is enabled. Although I rarely need to change the default, on rare occasions it helps to set it to Yes. If this doesn't work, try moving the video card to a different slot. It really doesn't seem like this kind of problem, but you never know. Not all slots on the PCI bus are necessarily Bus-Mastering, and video cards need this capability. If you can, also try monitoring the case temperature. Though unlikely in this situation, since it shuts down so fast, sometimes excessive heat can cause the video system to shut down.

Windows XP CD writing system Defenestration22-Jul-04 3:48 Defenestration 22-Jul-04 3:48  I would like to start using the Windows XP CD writing system but there's one problem with it. It always has to make a copy of the files being written to the CD before using the copies to actually burn the CD. If there are lots of files or large files then this additional copy process can take a long time. Most CD burning apps just use the original files during the burn. Is there any way to make the Windows XP CD writing system use the original files during a burn ? If so, how ? dll registration problem Ravikumar_mv21-Jul-04 19:07 Ravikumar_mv 21-Jul-04 19:07  When i am registering a dll (regsvr32 /i au_setuph.dll) in my system, it is giving the following error in a message box.
