I was going to come back here to post that the Licensing Service wouldn\'t stay stopped (I disabled it- kept enabling itself I guess- although the server didn\'t appear to reboot any). Didn\'t know you had replied. Basically I have 30 licenses. There are 22 users or so at any given time...

Agree 100%. The trolls are allowed to roam free ;)

Does per user or per device matter? If stopping the service stops all license checking- I'll do just that. I thought it would stop prompting me but still prevent more connections than what is reported though... I own more than enough licenses- seems like this should work (I'll give it a...

Bump...

Basically, some of my users have connectivity problems at times. I have no idea if it is due to (for instance) lack of licenses. I know I have enough for all the users in the building. But if Exchange is indeed sucking up licenses- I need to know how many, etc. I can reboot the server...

Bump- anyone? More Q's... How do I also view (preferably detailed like in my OP) usage? I thought the Max Use in Licensing was what I was looking at. But after a reboot and only two users signed on- it immediately reports 36 used.

Bump- anyone? Other than rebooting the server (which really shouldn't be an option here)... how in the world do you free up these CALs? I may be misreading what the Licensing portion is telling me, but I always thought the "Maximum Usage" was the current amount of licenses used? Doesn't...

SBS Server 2003 SP2.

It is glad to see someone that comes back and posts that it worked ;)

That would suck considering it is a CLIENT access... Anyone know for sure? All I know is I used to have 20 CALs installed. Usage went up to 28 when I started doing some VPN things... so I bought 10 more (figuring it would be plenty). There have been no more computer additions- and VPNs...

This is what I was saying... this thing is at least 3 years old- and it slipped past.

Just create an A record. You should have something like DOMAIN.local. Create A record to point to the forum's IP. I just don't know if you can point it to another FQDN (I know OpenDNS can do this).

True. But NOD32 didn't even see the darn thing... I guess what I am saying is it isn't as good as what it is hyped to be.

What is eating my CALs? On this particular server- there are 24 machines (some of which aren't turned on...) I have 3 clients connected in RAS. But Licensing is reporting 36 licenses used... How can I view what is eating up my CAL? They are all configured as per-user.

Morf.. I agree. I'm saying running your own DNS server at home is rather pointless when you have OpenDNS availible ;)

Microsoft actually posted the contents of one of these on their blog at one time (I don't remember where I saw it or what I would search for to find it though, but I did see the post). It contained basic system information. OS Version, Release, Date, etc. Nothing at all that I would care...

I realize that, but OpenDNS servers (as far as I know) aren't any actual root servers. They are are cache... What I am saying is that it is rather pointless...

But the line between is getting pretty thin... Even their website claims to protect against forms of malware, though: http://www.eset.com/products/threatsense.php At any rate- it got by. (Edit- and FWIW FireFox collected more crap during my controlled tests (going through the same list) by...

Installed it myself... Just go get the demo- it'll install over top of the old one. The old NOD32 (I got the version with ESS) still runs until a reboot in which case the new one is the only thing running. It also disables Windows Firewall for you...

Well... after saying they haven't missed anything "in the wild" since 1998... I must say I found that NOD32 slipped today. The past week I had been noticing Newegg was slow. Today it finally drove me nuts enough to figure out what the issue is (it is ONLY Newegg). Turns out there was a BHO...

So right now your DNS query runs like this... Your Machine ---> Your Server ---> Open DNS ---> ???? Why couldn't you have just done Your Machine ---> Open DNS ---> ???? I really don't see the need for a server. I assume you have a router of some sort, just point the DNS servers it is...

Like already said- Possible. But so many things now days (And this is even going beyond just your classic data exchanges (not sure what you are doing) into routers and such)... but many things employ some sort of brute-force lockout. Try three times in a row- you are locked out for 10...

Rules state you have to set a price.

Upgrade instructions anywhere (I use individual/home at home)

Used IE7 Pro myself and ended up uninstalling it due to more problems caused than features given ;)

To be fair... After taxes around here these run $275... $300 shipped would probably be fair, but let's not say these are "$250 new"

Good luck with that. :rolleyes:

Good. I would think it would be safe to say 95% of the people who have made the jump to 64 bit Vista (on later hardware- the people running older hardware shouldn't be considering ANY version of Vista in the first place) have had no problems and are happy with it. The only hurdle (which is...

I really have to ask: Have you read any of this thread? You aren't the only one having these problems yet it sounds to me like you are still assuming you ARE the only one. Seems pretty widespread and there are threads other than on these forums discussing it.

Heatless... #2 is the biggie. Take Apple as an example. They have some of the toughest "secrecy" rules around yet things still get leaked out. Take into account how big Microsoft is compared to Apple, and you substantially increase the chances of getting a rat. OP: That link you...

I was informed it would be availible for business later this month. And then it may take another month or so past that before it shows up as an update. So... hurry up and wait ;)

That's alot of money just trying to get to MySpace... addiction? lol If you really did try all that it seems pretty reasonable for me to say the problem lies with MySpace.

I can't remember exactly where this option is, but somewhere in the Activation Wizard is an option to change the key (maybe when you try to do it by phone). Your best bet might be to try phone activation, see if it works. If not, get someone on the phone and ask them how you change your key.

OP: What hardware are you running? In almost every case (being that I haven't found otherwise yet)... Media Center crashing is due to hardware or drivers... Because the vast majority of people out there don't have problems with it (at least crashing... Granted, I am not a huge fan of it...

Did you run the sfc? It's a ton easier than a full-blown reformat... and may have very well been all that was needed.

The other problem with the first method is anyone that connects via RDP to your public address at that location gets directed to your machine... LogMeIn is simply the easiest way about it.

And for reasons like that right there... is why you aren't getting taken very seriously that you are "neutral" and just wanting information on what it is doing... You have prior bias already in place.

It's called Superfetch and is a good thing: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/superfetch.mspx In short... it watches your system and keeps your commonly used programs in memory... Which is why many people report Vista running faster than XP on the same...

lol, April 2006? You have to be kidding.

While that may be been true in XP, Vista's is capable of filtering both in and outbound traffic. It's a decent firewall now that is able to keep pace with most 3rd party ones out there. Your setup looks decent to me... pretty close to what I run (although NOD32 instead of AVG).
