One common problem I seem to find is that I would like to do an administrative task on a users workstation but I don’t want to log them out. Well I recenlty came across this problem when installing a local printer on a users workstation. With normal user rights you can only install a Network printer.
Aside from being a Network Administrator, I absolutly love doing websites and I have my own little web site design business on the side. Due to possible ethical conflicts I am not going to list the company name here but if you Google I am sure you will find it.
With all that being said I also love creating Web Applications to make people’s life a little easier. I am currently working an Content Management System for web pages that is easy to install and easy to use. I am hoping to be done with this project in the next week or so since I am going to lock my self in my office until I can get it done. I am looking for some Beta testers that would be willing to try my CMS for me and in return you will receive a subscription to my newsletter along with a free copy of the full finished version of the CMS for your personal use.
So I was called in over the holiday for a Windows Server 2008 update error that a client was receiving when they attempted to update their server. This error is very well documented by Microsoft and there are alot and I do mean alot of things that can cause this error. Well when I started troubleshooting this server it had not been updated since September 2009 which is quite a while to go without any critical updates to a very important server. So this article will talk about trouble shooting this error on a Windows 2008 server incase you ever run into this problem.
Hey there everyone, sorry I havn’t posted in a while but as I am sure you all know the holiday seasons are very busy and mine was no different. I will be posting a few articles this week cause I have a few interesting bits of information that I run up on over the holiday season. A techs work never takes a holiday but that is the nature of the business.
Creating web sites is fun and very easy to do just check out my previous articles on creating a web site. But to publish your web site you have to have either free web hosting, purchased web hosting or your own web hosting. Here we will discuss setting up your own web hosting server from home and the ups and down of doing so. There are also a few things that you should be aware of when you setup your own web server.
As most of you probably don’t know I am very active in community service and volunteering, mainly fire and rescue services. I am an active Fire Fighter and an active ALS provider for my local Rescue Squad. Over the past couple months I have been trying to get my recertification hours in before the end of the year. Luckly for me I found this amazing web site that allows me to get some of my training hours by watching videos and then taking short 10 question quizes to just verify that I have watched the video.
Ok well I had to write about this at some point because it is constantly on the news and finally seems to be growing more and more awareness in todays society. That is the importance of Network Security and how lightly our government has been taking it for the last 15 years. Not only the governement not taking network security seriously but the private sector takes it even less seriously and they probably have some more vital information that could impact our every day lives.
MAC addresses are burned in addresses that are associated with your Network card, whether it be wireless, wired or even bluetooth. Each device has a specific MAC address that is unique to it only and no other device has that address. Most systems allow you to change your MAC address but it is purely software based, it will not changed the burned in address on your card. But when you change your MAC address and you connect to a network it will give out the changed address.
So my first topic for this category will be Peripheral devices and driver CDs for them, how 1990s is a drive CD that comes with your printer. You get your new printer, camer, scanner, or what ever device you just bought and with it comes a nice little CD with all the drivers and software you need to get your device working. But what next?
