Using Local Policies you can enable password complexity requirements even on a stand-alone machine. Don't Panic! (Douglas Adams) RedBarn2

All, We are using the Complexity Requirements in Windows XP for passwords and are curious if we can require users to use all 4 of the complexity requirements in their password instead of just 3 of the 4. Thanks!!! Rog Don't Panic! (Douglas Adams) RedBarn2

FYI Windows XP mode requires Hardware support on the CPU and it be turned on in the BIOS setup. However you can still download and run the latest Virtual PC software on any PC. Don't Panic! (Douglas Adams) RedBarn2

Actualy Readyboost is meant to speed up systems with slower hard drives. It caches a copy of all smaller sized entries in the swap file on the Hard Drive to a USB or other speedier storage device. The idea is that when the PC needs a hit from the swap file (Virutal Memory) it will check if it...

All, I currently have a dedicated OCS 2007 Standard server running in a Virtual Server environment and I am trying to move the server over to a new Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V environment. All other servers I was able to simply pull over the file, update the VM addins and it works just fine...

I recently did a project with a situation where we used a product called WansyncHA from XOSoft.com. It was not cheap depending if you have standard or enterprise versions of Windows Server and Exchange Server but it allowed you to have the two servers replicate and if one went down it would...

Make sure that your Organization or Site names don't have illegal characters in them. I am going through the same issue with my upgrade. Microsoft claims that the only solution is to uninstall Exchange 2000 completely, then export all my 5.5 mailboxes to PST files, rebuild the 5.5 servers with...

Folks, I have a 2000 server running RRAS with a modem pool and a limited number of lines coming in, so I need to limit the call length of imcoming connetions. The inactivity timeout is not sufficient since folks will simply open their Outlook and leave it open, plus 2000 and XP love to...
