I have some users who don't have local admin rights to their workstations. If a print driver on a server is updated, the users cannot update the driver on their local system. Is there any way to get around this issue short of granting the user local admin rights?

I'm trying to install HP 9040 and 9050 x64 drivers on Windows 2003 Server on 32-bit. The 32-bit drivers install fine. Next I try to add the x64 drivers. First it prompts for the x64 drivers; I point it to the drivers I downloaded. Next it prompts for the NTPRINT.INF file from the Windows...

dloz30 - The 32-bit app would have the same restraints as if it were running on a 32-bit system. 32-bit apps on 64-bit basically run on an emulator with 32-bit DLLs.

I've always used static IP addresses for shared printers without any issues. I am now supporting a new environment where in the in place solution is DHCP, really more for convenience than anything else. It relies on DDNS to register a printer in DNS to match the port name (specified as FQDN...

There's really not enough information in your post to speculate on what the issue may be. When I have similiar issues, I try to locate all files that are being modified or created. This helps to narrow down the source. This command will list all the files that changed on 10/27: dir...

I'm looking to compare "permissions" to keys, not the "values" of keys.

I need to compare the permissions for all keys under HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID on 2 servers. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of keys so it is not practical to right click on each key to view the permissions. Are there any tools available that would allow me to export the permissions or...

Sorry for all the typos. "not installes" = "not installed" "are any errors" = "are many errors

I have a WSUS server that has been running perfectly for about a year. For the past couple of patch cycles, the SUS clients (which are all Windows 2003 Server) are not downloading all applicable updates from the WSUS server. For example, suppose MS releases 10 new patches, well just call them...

Yes, it is Oracle 10g 64-bit. The DB instances are configured to use up to 4.5GB of RAM and they are only at half of that. Outside of Oracle, there is just antivirus, and basic Windows services; nothing with any significant memory usage.

I have a Windows 2003 x64 server with 8GB of physical RAM. Outside of typical Windows services, the only application running is a database (x64 version), consuming 2-2.5GB RAM. The server is constanly using a paging file of size 6GB. The OS does recognize the full 8GB. I believe the /PAE...

I'm running Oracle 10g on Windows x64 and would like to enable large page support. The instructions state to grant the Windows "oracle" user the user right of "lock pages in memory". The Oracle databases run as a service under the "local system" account. In this case "local system" is my...

Fixed by changing: HKLM system CCS control LSA LMCompat level to 4 and Restrictanon to 1

When I run secpol.msc, I get the error: "Windows cannot open the local policy database. An unknown error occured when attempting to open the database." The first step I did was to delete the edb and log files from %WINDIR%\Security; didn't fix it. Next I ran a repair, esentutl /g on...

It's the R2 disk 2 components that are not allowed, by company policy (they like to keep everything standardized). The server was brought onto the network via an acquisition. I guess my option is to just reinstall the OS and not include the R2 disk 2.
