Hm, throttle watch didn't show any throttling and bios update didn't help. I think I'm going to blame the MB for incorrectly reading the values as it's impossible that there would be ambient temp of 50C in idle. I will post an update if I have any luck finding out what's causing it.

Thanks for the responses. Neilyos - BIOS update is on my list of 'to-do', as for fans - there are 2 rear fans blowing out. CPU seating was the 1st thing I've checked - still I might try reseating the HSF again. adeoliver - thanks for the link, I completely forgot about throttle watch :)...

Hi folks. I've recently bought P4 D940 (3.2GHz), 2GB DDR2 533MHz RAM and put it on Intel D945GNT board (i945 chipset + integrated gfx). I'm somewhat concerned about the temperatures though. I'm using the supplied Intel HSF and temps go as high as 80C under load (which is ridiculously high...

*bump* Anyone please?

Oh well, now I'm even more confused :) So you guys are saying that having the router at the branch office wouldn't be able to pretend to be on the same subnet as the remote OpenVPN server? Or you're saying those 2 sites would be on different subnets, but still able to communicate? Also the...

That's a valid point, but let's assume it's not an issue. Any comments on the VPN setup?

Hi. I have some basic understanding of how VPN works, but I'm not sure how it fits the following scenario. We plan to have OpenVPN server (on a Linux/FreeBSD box) at the central office and diskless thin-clients at branch offices. Now in order for those thin clients to boot from network (via...

Hi, I'm currently evaluating Adobe Illustrator CS2, but it won't run under limited user account. It would only run under administrator account, not even Power Users (which is practially an admin group). Is this common for AI CS2? Or does anyone know what specific permission does it need? I...

I believe the easiest way would be getting the info from the "systeminfo" command, which is already present in Windows XP.

Um, I have a standalone (as of now) W2k3 SP1 server and I need to allow users to view/create/delete scheduled tasks. Those users are members of Users group (they don't belong to Power Users or Administrators). I tried changing local group policy to allow users to view etc. scheduled tasks, but...

Hi. Does anyone know how to remotely manage Intel SE7210TP1-E Server motherboard? I've found Intel Server Management utitlities, but unfortunately SE7210TP1-E platform is not supported by any of them (with the exception of Direct Platform Control utility, which doesn't do the right job)...

Hi, I have 2 different certificates (digital IDs) that i have assigned to the same email address (it is necessary for sending documents to government offices). Now does any email client offer the option to pick the certificate when writing the email and not prior to that? Because it's rather...

Um I still think good 'ole subst command will do the job just fine.

ad 1) yea, i can only agree with that ad 2) I guess the "512gb sound card" was supposed to be ironic joke. :confused:

Sorry, but all that comes to my mind when reading this question is: :rolleyes: Either you know shit about computers or you just want to boast with the setup you have.

Well despite the OP having ton of processes running, he should be fine unless some of those hogs the CPU (which doesn't seem to be the case, because he has 0% CPU usage). I'd definitely look at drivers and bios settings which are much more likely affecting his performance. I myself have...

I'm scratching my head because this. I've installed new w2k3 standard edition server and it's configured as PDC+WTS. I created new GPO for remote desktop clients which configures terminal services. I've set up security filtering that only Remote Desktop Users group can read/apply the GPO...

Thanks for the input SJConsultant - well, there is a domain, but not with AD. You were correct that I'd prefer free solution, nevertheless I also did search for 3rd party apps, but wasn't very successful. So far it seems I'll have to resort to NTFS rights in the end, but I refuse to accept it...

I'm going to ressurect this once more. Earp - thanks for the answer, but I don't want to use NTFS access rights way (only as a last resort). Well, the reason why I was asking about local logon was that we have WXP clients authenticating to Samba PDC, so there's no Active Directory etc, so I...

I could, but that's too troublesome - you would have to find the dependencies for all the apps if you wish to be strict, plus, configuring it when you add new user later requires way too much work. This is IMO such a trivial matter/concept that surely there must be a way to set this up w/o...

*bump* Noone? I'm sure someone must have had this issue before.

Hi, I'd like to restrict access to some applications on my pc for certain users. It's a standalone PC with Windows XP. I know I could use Software restrictions in the computer portion of group policy settings, but that's the problem - it's only part of the computer configuration, not user conf...

Sorry that i wasn't clear in my initial post. Yes, i need to restrict access to applications that certain users can run. I need a group which will only run let's say MS Office apps, then group which will only be able to run Accounting software etc without the possibility of running any other...

Huh, i'm no expert on Samba (nor AD for that matter), but what's so decentralized about Samba?? And i think the clear and simple attributes could be argued about well too.

Hi. I'm trying to set up a software restriction policy on a w2k3 server. I have group of who access the server via TS and would like to limit them access only to selected applications. So what i did was create the user accounts ofcourse (let's call them User1 and User2, members of domain...

Huh, i must be kind of thick today, but i can't figure out what is the proper way of limiting access to applications installed on W2k3 TS. Basically, i want to limit access to applications to selected user groups (preferably w/o using AD - because the server is not a DC and is not part of a...

Hi there, i recently bought an Asus P5GPL mobo, which has Realtek ALC880 audio chip, but i can't get it to work properly. When i connect my audio cable which leads to TV to front speakers plug, i get no sound. In fact i get no sound in any configuration except when i plug it in rear speakers...

Hi guys, i'm new to SFF systems and such and i'd appreciate some help. I received a task from my boss to do a "research" on possibilities regarding SFF. Basically there will be 3 types of terminals (well it's more like the most important factor), but it could very well be 1 i guess. 1)...

Thanks for the links hulksterjoe - the bit where they say makes it kinda clear that i'd need Office license for every PC, not just the Linux TS. One could argue with them what exactly is a "client computer", still i think this is kind of "grey" area - is there any place in EULA or somewhere...

Sorry, but i received different information from MS - i emailed them earlier regarding Office 2003 licensing under W2003&TS and they said you need license for Office for the TS and then for every station (device) that will log on the server. This last bit was what made me think about the Linux...

With all that MS licensing mumbo jumbo, i was thinking lately and i'm wondering about the following situation: Say i have a Windows 2003 Server which is running terminal server and is supposed to be hosting Office 2003. As you probably know, with Office 2003 there's only one licensing model -...

Thanks for your reply. I know that per user allows you to connect from any number of devices, but what i meant to ask is whether this allows you to connect multiple times concurrently under one account - ie. connecting as user called "joe" from let's say 5 PCs at the same time.

Hi guys, i have few questions regarding licensing of Windows 2003 Server and Terminal Server. First off, i read most of the documents on this topic on microsoft's web and few others, but i still don't understand some aspects as the licensing model is pretty confusing (as is well known). We...

I was wondering how the companies which have like 50+ computers do software deployment. I'm aware of the possibility of pushing SW through Active Directory or use some forms of scripting, but what do you do when there's let's say new version of antivirus software (or any other) that needs to be...

Oh well, i'm silly, i totally forgot about those OPK cds we have, which should enable me using dist. shares :) Anyways thanks for the responses. Just a question - why would using those 90-day versions be a no-no? From a legal standpoint or moral?

Yeah, RIS would make things much easier, but as i said we have a FreeBSD server. Well, then i guess i'm left with either sysprep and pushing the images on all the machines via cdrom or use unattended answer file installation, where i'll use all the $OEM$ power.

Thanks for the replies so far, but they don't completely solve my problems. Anyways got another question - is there any way to use distribution shares without using RIS?

Hi. I'd appreciate bit of help :) I'm trying to make my life bit easier and automate installing WinXP on multiple machines. I'll begin with what i can't use - can use RIS, because we have freebsd server, not W2k3. So i'm considering either answer files or using sysprep. But the thing is all...

I'd like to add my 2 cents.... Well those guys claiming WinXP are cheap need to get out of their nutshell. WinXP might cost $150 in USA, but that surely doesn't apply to other countries. Let's take my country as an example - WinXP Home costs here $270, Prof. $400. That's kinda much more than...
