Hi there! I have a question about Windows 2008 updates. I updated my Windows and next morning and I noticed that the firewall of all my Windows 2008 R2 had been turned on. I believe GPO does not have policy that automatically enables Windows’ firewalls. Have any of you encountered the situation where the Windows 2008 Firewall is enabled on its own? I hope you can help me figure this out. Thank you.

Hello there! I need some assistance on how to cleanup Winsxs Directory on Windows 2008 64-bit. I am running Windows 2008 Server STD SP1. The C: is worth 100GB and 50Gb of it is occupied by C:WindowsWinsxs. I have learned that there are certain commands to clean this folder such as “vsp1cln.exe” for Windows 2008 SRV with SP1 and “compcln.exe” for Windows 2008 SRV with SP2 but I have never used these commands. I just want to know if it’s safe to use these commands and what are the problems I might encounter should I use them. I hope you can help me. Thank you.

Hi there! I have a concern about installing Windows 8 in the Virtual Machine. I am currently running Windows 7 Ultimate in 32-bit but I have been trying to download the virtual machine in Windows 8.

I was able to download Windows Virtual PC so I tried installing it first. Upon trying, my screen went blue with an error message saying “HAL Initiation Failure.’ As such, I tried installing VM Virtual Box instead. Unfortunately, it suddenly hung up as it reached 19% of the file unpacking and then it crashed.

I am considering downloading and installing the new Windows 8 sometime this week. I am looking for anyone familiar with it to give me a few comments on it. It looks like Microsoft is putting a lot of emphasis on Multi-Touch of late but unfortunately I am unable to test Multi – Touch Vista Drivers because of the recent touch setup failure. Is there anyone out there who is willing to test this on my behalf? Your interest shall be appreciated.

I need someone to help me figure out why the TS gateway we have been using to enable our employees gain remote access for quite some time is no longer functional. All users trying to gain access through the TS gateway are denied even if the user credentials are right and the message “the logon attempt failed” is displayed. The employees have the option of connecting to a terminal server Pc or going to the company’s website and launching a TS remote application which are both routed through a TS gateway. The system has been running efficiently until today. This is a serious situation that needs to be solved urgently.

Hi,

I want to upgrade my server from Windows NT4 to Windows Server 2008. The only NT computers in the network are the PDC and BDC, while the others are using Windows XP or Windows Vista. Anyone knows if I have to do anything to the computers in the network when I upgrade, and the Domain controllers change to Active Directory?
