Improvements in AD and Windows Infrastructure:

Hello Everyone,
I have taken up a new assignment with a team to manage the entire AD and Wintel operations for the client. Though they have an already existing setup. I have been asked to spend some time and research on the existing network and make it to some standards. I
mean without client saying, to improve the services/infrastructure to a better standards so that it becomes easy to manage and maintain. Easy to identity the issue related to incidents when it occurs.
We have Both Windows 2000, 2003 and 2008 R2 servers and Domain Controllers. DNS is integrated with AD. We have DHCP, Exchange and Office communicator implemented.
I was handling a different technology, though i have good understanding of AD and Windows i would like to get your help as in what are the things i should start focusing on.
What improvements should i go ahead with. Is there a any bench mark or a predefined standard already which should be implemented in a Datacenter?
Request you all to pour in your suggestions/advices.
Thanks
What you need to implement depends of your requirements.
Simply identify your requirements and then you can identify what to do.
What is sure is that some of your OSs are out of MS support (Windows Server 2000) and you need to upgrade to a higher OS. You need also to be aware about the LifeCycle of your products so you will always be under the support: https://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/?wa=wsignin1.0

Is there any way of improving compatibility between ipad 4 and windows xp p

is there any way of improving compatibility beween ipad and windows xp

Hi Smokey0422,
Although iTunes works with Windows XP, iCloud is not supported - so that does limit the functionality somewhat.
See the resources for your iPad at the following site:

See the setup instructions below:

Windows Infrastructure

I've had a tar opened for two months and a bug filed for the problem but development can't seem to reproduce the problem. I can see the problem on any installation of 9.0.4 or greater of the Oracle Infrastructure. I don't know if the problem existed prior to 9.0.4 because I went from 1.0.2.2.2a to 9.0.4.
The problem is, one thread inside one of the OIDLDAPD.EXE processes is always running. It is always consuming CPU when it really should be idle. On a small 1 CPU server, it really slows down the box. On a larger server, you don't notice so much.
So, this is on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I have 2 gig of RAM and 1 CPU. Nothing special needs to be done. Just have the three required services (Process Manager, DB, and DB Listener) running and the OIDLDAPD.EXE process will be eating away at the CPU.
If anyone could confirm or deny that they see one thread running constantly (viewable with QSlice from Microsoft), please post something here. I need the sanity check!
QSlice can be found here => http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/qslice-o.asp

HP ENVY H8 Series Issues w/ Drives & Explorer, and Windows

Hello all,
I purchased the computer brand new, and have had intermediant problems throughout its life. The wi-fi card in this computer is garbage (it is now hard-wired, being the only true solution) and the Windows installation seemed a bit buggy, but I let that slide since it may have been Microsoft's fault. (it has improved w/ updates)
My major issues I keep constantly notice after years of installing updates is that my taskbar will disappear and windows explorer will restart at random. Additionally, I have multiple media drive ports on the front (CF, SD, xD, Pro Duo, etc) and it has been giving me issues with reading SD cards. Before my SD card is blamed, I have 4 of them and they all perform perfectly in the cameras they are in. The computer does not have problems getting data off of the card after its read it intially, but in order for it to recognize that I've inserted an SD card - I have to go into Device Manager and select the SD card under the Drives section. Once it pops up (sometimes it hesitates a few seconds before doing so), the properties window shows up with no prompting errors cited. At this point, the SD card magically appears in the Explorer window like normal. I've gotten used to this practice and have the Device Manager shortcuted to my Desktop. Yes, the LED indicator does light when the SD card is physically inserted into the slot, but the computer seems to be on deaf ears about it. Either way, these are small problems with likely Software... but I figured I'd ask since they bother me occasionally when I need to just get something off the SD card quickly or am trying to quickly print out something. It has gotten better with updates however, but these issues just simply haven't been addressed, and I feel they won't be.
Specs:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Intel i5 Processor (i5-3350P Model @ 3.10GHz)
~10GB RAM (per System Properties)
1.79TB HDD, w/ 332GB Free
Uses: Video Editing/Encoding , Occasional PC Gaming , Internet/Home Use

The Browse in Bridge option in PS CC 2014 doesn't launch Bridge, but instead opens the window of the Creative Cloud desktop app instead. This behaviour is on both Mac and Windows.

I recently installed all the of CC 2014 applications and noticed that in Photoshop CC 2014, when I choose the "Browse in Bridge" menu option it doesn't launch Bridge at all. Instead it opens the Creative Cloud desktop application window instead. I have the latest version of Bridge installed as well. If I have Bridge running, the menu option also just opens the CC window and doesn't bring Bridge to the front either. I have PS installed on both a Mac (10.9.3) and Windows (8.1) and the behaviour is the same.

I only Run windows and my install of CC 2014 works correctly and launches Bridge CC. Bridge CC was also updated to launch CC 2014 and not CC 14.2.1.
Hers is my Photoshop CC 2014 help>System info... You may want to compare your windows systems CC 2014 info to it.

One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.

I connected my sons Ipod Touch to my pc and it worked fine. Now, when I try to connect my iPad the following message comes up: One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
I checked the cable. It surely is not the cable. If I connect the iPod again it works fine. If I use the same cable with my pc and ipad at work or my other son’s laptop, it is working perfectly. It is only on my laptop where the iPod was connected. Something tells me it got something to do with the drivers that went corrupt or something when I connected the iPod.
I searched the internet and I see a lot of people gets this message. Still no solved answers yet. Is there a place where I can download the drivers again or any other suggestions?
Windows 7 and iPad 2
Kind regards,

I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...

Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

Important!! Improve the life and performance of the battery.

Reduce the operating temperature and increase battery life
The battery in your notebook PC is designed to provide the necessary amount of energy for the processor while maintaining HP high safety standards. As a result, the battery may not charge or may stop providing power to the notebook when the battery temperature exceeds the specified, design safety level.
If the battery life appears shorter than normal, the battery stops charging before it is 99%-100% full and the battery appears warmer than usual, the battery has most likely reached its designed "no charge" safety state. The battery will no longer charge until the temperature condition is corrected.
Try one of the following methods to correct the battery temperature:
When charging the battery, do not use applications that require large amounts of system resources such as graphic or memory intensive applications, heavy and extended hard drive usage.
Turn off your notebook and remove the battery to allow it to return to a safe operating temperature.
Make sure the notebook PC is operating on a hard surface. Using the Notebook PC on a bed or sofa may block the vents causing the notebook PC to heat up and shut down.
By taking these steps, the battery will return to its normal operating temperature range and continue to charge and discharge as designed.
Calibrating the battery while PC not in use
Recalibrating the battery requires a cycle of a complete charge and a complete discharge. To recalibrate the battery while using the PC is not is use complete the following steps.
The recalibration may take 1-5 hours depending on the age of the battery and the configuration of the notebook PC you own. The PC should not be used while you perform the following steps. Completing all the following steps will also calibrate the battery so that the power meter readings are accurate.
Shut down the notebook PC
Connect the AC Adapter to the notebook PC and to an electrical socket.
Charge the Notebook PC until the Battery Charge light is Green. This indicates the battery is completely charged.
Press and release the Power Button to start the computer.
Press the F8 key several times when the HP Logo displays.
When the Windows Advanced Startup Menu displays, select the Startup in Safe Mode option.
Remove the AC power adapter from the notebook PC.
Allow the battery to discharge completely until the notebook PC turns off.
The battery is now calibrated and the battery level reading on the power meter is now accurate.
If you are not using the notebook regularly then please unplug the AC adapter and shut down the notebook. By following these practices will improve the life and performance of the battery. Here is a quick list of Do's and Don'ts for the care of your Li-On batteries:
Do's
When you receive a new Notebook or Tablet PC, leave the battery to fully charge overnight.
Condition a new battery by using it until it is fully discharged, and then re-charge it fully. Doing this once a month will help to accurately calibrate your battery.
Always ensure the battery is recharged as soon as possible after it becomes fully discharged. A battery will be permanently damaged if left for an extended length of time in a fully discharged state.
Remember that a Lithium-Ion battery will slowly deteriorate; a new battery will always perform better than one that is 6-months old.
Remember that the battery half-life is rated for a certain total number of charge/discharge cycles (see your User Manual or Quick Start Guide for the rating). For example, a battery that is rated for 3 hours and 500 charge/discharge cycles, will still be considered as within specification, even if it only lasts for 1 hour 45 minutes after 500 charge/discharge cycles.
Heat is the worst enemy of a battery. Allow plenty of air to circulate around the Notebook/Tablet PC, so that the battery is kept as cool as possible when charging and also when in use. If provided, use the integrated 'legs' under the Notebook to raise the notebook and improve air circulation.
Remove the battery if storing for several months (the battery should be at approximately 50% charge or higher).
If you use a NoteBus or if charging your Notebooks or Tablet PCs in a confined space, allow for adequate ventilation in order to keep the batteries as cool as possible.
Don'ts
Do Not - Expose the battery to excessive heat or cold (i.e. outside the range of 10-35 degrees Centigrade ambient).
Do Not - Store the battery in a fully charged state (store batteries with about 50% charge).
Do Not - Allow a nearly flat battery to be unused for more than a month or so. The battery will slowly discharge until it becomes fully discharged and this will permanently damage the battery cells.
Do Not - Charge your Notebook/Tablet PC inside a carry case - the battery may overheat.
Do Not - Charge your Notebook/Tablet PC when stacked on top of each other - the battery may overheat.
Remember: Your battery is slowly degrading all the time, even if it is not used. Keeping your battery as cool as possible will slow down this degradation considerably.

I like to know wich register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista- windows7- and windows 8.1.
I like to know the proffesional version of it which I can use for my clients every where unlimitted to clean unwanted keys of registry and improve performance.(specialy in Dutch language).
thanks

I second what Kate Li said. There's no need for a registry cleaner! Don't do it! I run Windows systems for years and they keep running as light and fast as when they're new.
What I *do* recommend is regularly reviewing the list of programs set to run in the background using a tool to show you what starts in various ways called Autoruns, which can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
This tool can be used to disable things you don't need.

Mac Pro crashes on Leopard and Windows XP

Hello,
I've a quite interesting problem here!
It started with a crash this morning while running Minecraft (a 3D game): The music was still runing normally, I could still move the mouse cursor, but couldn't access any windows or applications. I couldn't use my keyboard neither. I was however able to run Mac OS X normally after this incident.
Then, later on Windows XP I ran a 3D game and Windows crashed (death blue screen).
From this moment, I couldn't start Mac OS X anymore. It goes well until the small apple and the waiting circle, but then the circle stops, I see vertical light blue lines over the screen, and black&white horizontal lines at the bottom of the screen. Then, I've got a blue screen still with the horizontal black&white lines and it stays like that.
I'm able to start Mac OS X on safe mode, but I have horizontal white lines all over the screen and my mouse cursor is a square of about 1cm.
I'm not able anymore to launch the startup disk, because, when I boot from the disk, it crashes after a while on the apple screen and I've got the same vertical light blue lines.
I was able to run the disk utility, it says everything is OK. I ran the extensive hardware tests and it also says everything is fine.
I cannot neither run Windows, I just get my screen turning off (black screen without signal).
The graphic card is a GeForce 8800 Gt.
Any idea???? => I'm ready to reinstall Mac OS X, but I need to know how since I cannot run the install disk!
Thank you really much for your help!

Lack of cooling under Windows.
A graphic card dying. ATI 5770 upgrade.
Disk Utility First Aid isn't 100% fool-proof.
FBDIMMs need cooling and could be dying also (AHT won't pick that up).
Disk Warrior for Mac OS; chkdsk for XP along with:
http://www.informationweek.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=185301251
Never forget to check and try to rule out any USB or other cables, extensions, devices etc. They can cause mischief. USB keyboards, hubs included.
Not a lot that can be done under Windows to improve cooling like you can with SmcFanControl under Mac OS but there is/was "InputRemapper" that does help - a lot.

Photoshop cs6 - How do you stop the "Help Improve Adobe's Products" window from appearing?

EVERY time I open Photoshop CS6 I get the damn "Help Improve Adobe's Products" box appearing. I've clicked 'Participate' and answered all the questions ... I've pressed 'Do Not Participate' ... many times !
The darn window still opens every time I open PS6 .... driving me nuts!!
PS ... on a Mac ... in Australia.
There must be a way of getting rid of it ...
AND ... further ... on one of my machines ... my Mac Air ... for a while Photoshop CS6 would HANG completely (spinning beach ball) when the "Help Improve Adobe's Products" window opened BUT with no text in the box ... yup ... CS6 hung when the box opened completely empty of text !!
Would not like that to happen whilst on an assignment 'on the road' !!!
Plaese advise !!! Thanks

I am told MacKeeper causes problems. Hopefully you did not install that.
The only idea remaining is to uninstall/clean/reinstall.
Let's go over that:
No need to deactivate, so skip that.
In your CS6 folder is a shortcut to the uninstaller. I would like you to check "Remove Preferences" when you run the uninstaller.
When that's done, download the CS-CC Cleaner for the Mac. Run that.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
As far as your Mac goes, Run Disk Utility on your volume.
Verify Disk
Repair Permissions.
Then reinstall CS6 and updates.
It's is a "nuke and pave" approach, but if you do not want to be messing with internals you do not understand, it's the best way to go.

Charge threshold w/ utrabay battery and Windows 8

Hello
One more problem with the missing Power Manager under Windows 8.
The battery charge threshold can be changed in the registry or using the freeware utility in http://thinkutils.wordpress.com/collection/power-manager/
Does anybody know how I can set the charge threshold when using a second battery in my T430s' ultrabay?
I have tried many things with the registry, nothing worked reliably. At the end nothing worked any more and I had to use a restore point...
It would be good if Lenovo would hear to their customers an bring us back the Power Manager functionality!
Regards
Patrick

Hey, nobody else has an ultrabay battery and would like to optimize its charge?
After having had almost no problems with my T410s and Windows 7, now I'm beginning to bitterly regret having updated to a T430s with Win 8. Much heavier machine, unreliable WLAN (after the last Lenovo update, it didn't work any more at all...), unreliable BlueTooth, no more Power Manager and so on. Is that what Lenovo and Microsoft understand under "technical improvements"?
Regards
Patrick
