How to know computer ID

Hi everybody
I want to programatically know the computer ID. Is there any vi available?
Thanks in advance for help

It sounds like you are wanting the MAC address. You can get this by using System Exec.vi to execute the command:
ipconfig /all
Then parse from the result the "physical address". Try the same command from the command prompt and you can see what comes back. One potentially important point. If you have a computer that has multiple ways of connecting to a network (like a laptop that can dial-in or use a hard-wire LAN) the same computer can have different MAC addresses depending on how you connect.

How to know if there is a web threat on my computer?

How to know if there is a web threat on my computer.
Two days ago I was trying to view a page that I always see with no problem but I got a messages from Intego Virusbarrier saying that safari was attempting to download known malware that could control my computer. I didn't understand, it was a common designers website that I had always visited with no problem. The message had a counter with the option of proceeding or blocking. I blocked. I have both safari and chrome installed so I decided to check the site in chrome, again with the same window. I let it be, but the following morning as a tried one more time safari didn't show me the warning window, instead it took me to a blank page that wouldn't load. All of the programs froze and my mouse arrow started to move a little sporadically, nothing would work properly. I finally had to unplug my computer. after a while i plugged it back in and everything seemed to be working fine. I had virusBarrier scan my entire computer but it found nothing wrong. I checked my download folder and utilities and plugins and found nothing odd. all seemed fine, But this morning it started again. My computer wouldn't respond properly and I had to unplug it again. After I replugged all seemed to work fine, except safari, which wouldn't do anything. I disabled all plugins and it sort of worked but the problem is when I tried to reset safari, it makes safari stop working. Chrome seems to be fine. Virusbarrier, (which supposedly instigated the alleged malware warnings) still can't find anything wrong. But I have noticed that virusbarrier wont lock itself. every time i turn my computer off or put it to sleep it will unlock the ability to configure setting when it wakes.
I don't know if it is virusbarrier or safari or something else, but i believe that come tomorrow it will continue to happen. I've tried and checked every folder and still can't find anything that shouldn't be there. The main problem I have is that its my whole computer, not just safari that freezes and acts up. I use airport and have to manually connect to the Internet each time I log in, so I don't understand how each morning this seems to be happening, because I'm not connected to the Internet when the computer is off.
update: no, safari doesn't work at all anymore.
mac is version 10.5.8
safari 5.0.5

One sure fireway to invite problems on a Mac is to install a/v software.
Barry and rkaufmann87 are trying to give you excellent advice.
If it were me, I'd backup my important files then erase the drive and start over. Anti virus software on a Mac is invasive and hard to uninstall properly.
Since you are running v10.5, an Archive & Install won't do the job. You'll still have the previous System Folder on the drive. Clean install only.

How to know if this computer can handle a certain monitor's resolution?

I am looking to buy a new monitor, but I am at a loss as to how to know whether my computer can handle the monitor's resolution, will be compatible with it. I used to run two NEC Multisync FE991SB (CRT) monitors side by side, and one of them died. Their native resolution seems to be 1280x1024 per monitor. I am considering buying a DoubleSight DS-263N (LCD) monitor, which has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200, and running it alongside the NEC Multisync FE991SB that has not died.

Any advice on how i can learn about compatibility? And on what card i need to buy, if i do need to buy one? Thanks.

Dear Discussion Folks,
Thank you all so much for your help. I think I understand now, as a result of your comments and this reply from NVIDIA customer support:
"I understand from your mail that you would like to know if GeForce FX 5200 Ultra supports your monitor that has a recommended digital resolution of 1920 x 1200.Please be informed that as per the NVIDIA records, the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1600 x 1200 and the maximum analog resolution supported by this graphics card is 2048 x 1536. Since you have mentioned in your e-mail that the Apple's specs page says that the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1920 x 1200, in this case, I request you to contact Apple Support over phone and get confirmed on this. The reason why I am requesting you to contact Apple is because, we at NVIDIA, manufacture only the basic chipsets for the graphics cards and sell them to Apple Computers. The Apple Computers produce the graphics cards using the NVIDIA chipsets."
This reassured me that there's no reason to worry about the appearance of a contradiction between the Apple tech sheet and the NVIDIA tech sheet. I went ahead and ordered this monitor today: the DoubleSIght DS- 265W.
(by the way, sorry about typing 1900x1200 when I meant 1920x1200).
After it arrives in a week or two, I'll update this thread to confirm that its resolution is supported by the GeForce FX 5200 Ultra card.
Thanks again,
Mark

How to know via PowerShell "did user install office on his computer with office 365 or not"

Hello. Sorry for my english.
Subject: How to know via PowerShell "did user install office on his computer with office 365 or not"
I set to users Office 365 ProPlus license, that allows a user to install Office on up to five computers. I want to know, user use this opportunity or not, install office or not.
User can view his installation in the Office 365 portal:
But how I (like admin Office365) can view this information? Maybe via PowerShell?
Thank you...

Hi,
Please see the
blog, I copied the part of here:
====
Viewing a list of Office 365 ProPlus installations
A user can see which computers she has installed Office on by signing in to the Office 365 Portal and going to the
software page.
Only the signed in user can see this information. Even if you are the administrator for your organization's Office 365 subscription, you can't see this information in any of your Office 365 administrative views. This also means you can't deactivate
a user's installation of Office on a specific computer. More on deactivation in a bit.
====
If you have further question about Office 365, I recommend you post the question to Office 365 forum:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/148.aspx

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
programs.

How to know if system is running in 40W low performance mode ?

I experienced the same problem than described in this topic: lower performance with charger than with battery!
(But I had set everything on Maximum Performance both in BIOS and in Windows's Power settings, so I think everything was done on software-side).
How to know if the system runs with lower performance (is it a 40W max mode? btw how did you know it is called "40W mode" ? I saw this figure nowhere else than in the mentioned-above topic) , except using a soft to do some benchmarking? Is there a place in BIOS (I didn't find!) ?

Sometimes I open my finder and under shared is a computer name...what does this mean and if there is any way to block it?!
Thanks for the help

To determine the version of OS X select About This Mac from the Apple menu,
Which will result in this dialog:
To determine what model you actually have open System Information in the Utilities folder. You will see displayed a Model Identifier:
If your Model Identifier is greater than MacBook Pro 8,3 then you have the newest model. For example, it may show 9,1 or better.

How to send computer screen to sleep whilst watching Apple TV via airplay using Yosemite?

Does anybody know how to send computer screen to sleep whilst watching Apple TV via airplay using Yosemite? I've tried the hot key Shift + Control + Eject, but that sends the TV's screen as well as my iMac's screen to sleep at the same time. I don't want the 2 screens playing at the same time - I would like to send the computer's screen to sleep whilst the Apple TV continue's to play/mirror. Hoping someone knows how to do this?

Thanks Vazandrew for your detailed explanation. I think you've answered my question in that what I'm wanting to do is not possible because it is mirroring in its entirety, unless it is being done via iTunes.
I live in hope that Apple (can in-time) organise the same screen sleep capability that operates via iTunes for people wanting to stream regular online TV via iMac!
I would like to mark my question as answered by you, but had already checked the helpful star before going to mark the answered check mark. Didn't realise you could only mark one or the other…with no editing function.
Your explanation as to what is going on with the mirroring was much appreciated, as I couldn't figure out why the short cut keys worked sometimes (via iTunes) and not others (via regular streamed online TV).

Hi,
Generally when you don't give name to SQL server instance or select default instance during installation it takes MSSQLSERVER as a default name so where ever you see MSSQLSERVER its always default instance. SQLEXPRESS will be SQL express instance(
although you can rename it) all other instances would be named accordingly. SO MSSQLSERVER is default instance all other which appear will be named instances

From report server database how to know reporting services server

from report server database how to know reporting services server
Thanks

Hi Ajay,
If I understand correctly, you want to know
Reporting Services server name based on report server database. Based on my research, I find that the Reporting Services server name is the computer name which install the report server. So we can try to click Start button, right-clicking Computer,
and then clicking Properties. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, you can find your computer name.
Besides, the report server database is a SQL Server database that stores the following content:
Items, Subscription and schedule definitions, Report snapshots and report history, System properties and system-level security settings, Report execution log data, Symmetric keys and encrypted connection and credentials for report data sources.
For more information about report
server database, please refer to the following link:

If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

I can't believe there's still no proper answers for this question . I'm now struggling with the same issue as the original asker. It seems that at least with the newest version of Nokia Drive you can delete the maps saved (without the need to remove the whole application). You can do that even one by one. But the question is: "If I delete a particular map and load it again, will that be the newest version of the map? Or is there still a need to delete the whole Nokia Drive application, as said in the instructions linked earlier in this thread?"
Anyway, even deleting one map and loading it again sounds very frustrating without knowing if there actually is a new update or not. We should know exactly which is the current version of each map and wheter there is a newer version.
Many things are gone worse after Symbian. On Symbian phones, you could easily update all the maps with Ovi Suite. Now, with Zune, you can update the firmware, but not the maps which was a disappointment to me. I don't have WiFi connection, so, for me, it would be cheaper to download huge amounts of data with my computer's wired connection (with my phone connected to it via USB). Don't want to waste my monthly data limit to download again possibly the same map versions just to be sure...
But please, moderators and others, give us some comments and answers...

How to know if others are using my Apple ID?

How to know that one Apple ID is being used for other devices?

Go to iTunes on a computer and sign in. Click on your name, then on Account Info. Under "iTunes in the Cloud" you will see how many devices are associated with this Apple ID, and you can click on Manage to see what devices have been associated with the Apple ID. This does not mean that the Apple ID is signed onto those devices. It just means that it was signed onto those devices at some point and was used to re-download past purchases, or to do Automatic Downloads.
