// January 11th, 2010 // No Comments » // Uncategorized
After recently purchasing a Philips 42″ LCD TV (42PFL8404H) and finding very few first-hand experience reports online about it prior to, I decided to give it my 5 cent.This isn’t going to be a full review or even a technical one, just some personal hands-on observations.
Windows 7 does NT 4 Domains (NOT!)
// October 22nd, 2009 // No Comments » // News
Today, Windows 7 was released to “general availability” and shipping into stores all over. Upon this glorious event I had a little, sour note to add…Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 Server is by design not capable to join the elderly Windows NT 4 based domains. For those that have not upgraded their network’s domains to any of the Active Directory based ones, this is rather slightly sad and inconvenient news.

I now officially propose handing a title “Lord of The Rings” to anyone responsible for creating a network loop on any kind of switched or routed network. We have already implemented this practice at the company - highly effective!Integrating Adaptec SATA RAID dirvers into Windows XP\2003 Server CD

It’s somehow much more fulfilling to achieve something in a field that isn’t of your primary expertise. So, after a slightly prolonged battle with a diskette-less but SATA RAID ridden server that needed to have Windows XP reinstalled on it… I proclaimed victory!Picsez!

Windows 7 - same old shares problem…
// July 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // Uncategorized
Vista caused problems with it’s default setting of “NTLMv2-only” on the LAN Manager authentication level. This setting means that a Vista station is only allowed to connect to network servers of an equal but not lesser authentication level (lesser would be XP and earlier Windows versions, some network storage drives and Linux Samba based shared resources).The issue was easily treatable by changing a local security policy (or via registry) to permit negotiation of a lower security level authentication methods before trying the higher one - NTLMv2.
Same issue inherently remained in Windows 7 (currently RC). The solution steps follow below…
