What do you recommend to resize a partition on Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2?
I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2 and only have 2.74GB of hard drive space left on a 11.9 GB hard drive. My D:\ drive has 37.5GB of free space left on a 124GB Hard drive. I would like to know what software is
recommended to repartition drive size or another way to repartition drive.
Thanks
You just need to shrink partition D and get some unallocated space, and then you can extend the system drive with the Unallocated space. There is no need to delete or format partitions.
The most important is guarantee data security. I have such experience resizing partitions.
The partition tool required reboot to process, after a while power off in my office, I know the Server must be damaged. Later, when I turn it on, I cannot believe, it continue to process and reboot to desktop several minutes later. What a lucky man.

Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.
Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
Good luck,

I need to upgrade from OS X 10.6.8 to 10.7 or better in order to run TurboTax. My iMac is about 4 years old with limited space. To what do you recommend I upgrade?
Hello kparker2112,
I understand you would like information on upgrading your operation system. The link below will help you determine if your computer meets the requirements for the current version of OS X, which is Yosemite. I would highly recommend backing up your data before upgrading any version of OS X:

Question: Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions! If so what would you recommend? Was looking at Sophos. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks
Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide. -
I just purchased MBP and it is my first Apple computer. How concerned should I be about virus software and what do you recommend for security software?
1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
Gatekeeper has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. All known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
5. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was never a good idea, and Java's developers have had a lot of trouble implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style "virus" affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful. Fortunately, Java on the Web is mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers. In Safari, this is done by unchecking the box marked Enable Java in the Security tab of the preferences dialog.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a specific task, enable Java only when needed for the task and disable it immediately when done. Close all other browser windows and tabs, and don't visit any other sites while Java is active. Never enable Java on a public web page that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, password-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be practically as safe from malware as you can be.
6. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
7. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
8. The greatest harm done by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging threats, but they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may behave in ways that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default. -

Does the IPad require virus protection?what do you recommend?
Unless you jailbreak your device, there's really no way to expose the vulnerabilities of iOS (apps are tightly controlled and run pretty much sandboxed for the most part). Welcome to Apple land where compared to other mainstream platforms, you are relatively safe from things such as a virus.

hi All, I have been using the adobe CS 5.1. What do you recommend upgrade my CS? or get the subscription on a yearly basis, thanks in advance for your input here
The decision is ultimately yours. You have to consider your preferences and reasons for use.
If you are using the software primarily for personal projects, then have a suite might be all you need, and the one you have now might suffice for that as well. If you are a professional who needs to be on the cutting edge, then you probably want to have the subscription working for you.
Upgrading to a new CS means getting CS6, which is likely to be that last of the CS releases. If you do that you pay for it one time and what you get when you pay is what you will have until it becomes obsolete somewhere off in the future, except for any corrective updates that might be provided. It should hold up to be useful for some number of years.
If you purchase a Cloud plan, you pay for it repeatedly over time - basically a monthly fee - but you get updates and new features as they are released. There is always a chance that newer updates could eventually out-spec the machine you own, requiring a hardware update to continue on with new releases. -

What do you lose by UNC Mapping to a Print Server
We're migrating 42 printers to new 2012 Print Server. Customer (win7/win8) wants ability for users to manually map to the printers via UNC (start\run \\server\printer), as they have always done. We at least got them to stop tcp/IP printing.
For ease of management, I'd of course prefer they connect to the existing print queues on the print server, ideally via gpo, but at least have users select by browsing the directory for the printer (using Devices & Printers). I'm fighting an uphill battle,
seeking to enforce my case.
Are there valid reasons against users manually mapping printers via UNC, instead of using Devices & Printers to select the printer from the Directory. What is lost using the UNC approach?
- things like: handling of driver updates, performance/overhead, logging, security, other?
thanks!Hi BaileyK9,
We will not able to view them via UNC path in Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7. This case you are experiencing is occurring by design.
The reason Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP can view the printers even if they are not shared is because there is no MMC console to manage the printers in Windows Server
2003/Windows XP. But at the same time, this is not safe that all of the people can view the printers even if they are not shared, so in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 this function was disabled. Using Windows Server 2003 you can view printers and faxes
from more recent versions such as Windows Server 2008 or Win 7 because they were designed to have backwards compatibility.

Why Windows server 2003 enterprise edi is the recommended OS for Netweaver?
Hi All,
I am in a client discussion stage and the client is a huge enterprise going for SAP installation.
In order to implement SAP Netweaver 2004 S, the recommended OS is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition?
I need to be equipped about the difference feature wise between Enterprise and Standard Edition.
Any kind of help is really appreciated.
It is a bit urgent.
So Tribe please come together and help me out.
Points will be rewarded for the timely help.
Thanks

as you might see, the standard edition of win2k3 only supports up to 4 gb of ram, 4 cpus and it seems that there will be not 64bit edition...so, these might be some reasons, why sap recommends the enterprise edition
