  • Scheduling, Thread Context, and IRQL
    Scheduling, Thread Context, and IRQL December 31, 2020 Abstract This paper presents information about how thread scheduling, thread context, and a processor’s current interrupt request level (IRQL) affect the operation of kernel- mode drivers for the Microsoft® Windows® family of operating systems. It is intended to provide driver writers with a greater understanding of the environment in which their code runs. A companion paper, “Locks, Deadlocks, and Synchronization” at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/driver/LOCKS.mspx, builds on these fundamental concepts to address synchronization issues in drivers.

  • Microsoft Windows 95 Reviewer’S Guide
    1 CHAPTER 10 Systems Management Windows 95 is the first version of Windows expressly designed for manageability. The design ensures that management of the Windows 95 PC is accessible both locally and remotely via a privileged network manager. Network security is used to determine administrator-privileged accounts using pass-through security. Windows 95 also provides for PC users to be logically separated from the underlying configuration of their PCs so that the PC and user configurations and privileges can be managed independently. As a result, network managers can allow users to “rove” on the network—that is, log on from virtually any PC on the network and then operate from a desktop that has the correct settings and network privileges. The logical separation also means that a single PC can be shared by multiple users, each with a different desktop configuration and different network privileges. Given the proliferation of PCs connected to corporate networks, the Windows 95 PC must be able to participate in any network-wide management schemes. Windows 95 is designed to meet various network management criteria by providing built-in support for several of the key network management standards. With this infrastructure built into Windows 95, network management applications will be able to provide tools for network managers to keep PCs and networks running more efficiently and cost effectively. Open management interfaces are key to the management implementation in Windows 95. Where a standard exists, Windows 95 implements an enabling technology to embrace the standard—for example, an SNMP agent is supplied to enable remote management of Windows 95 PCs via any number of third-party SNMP consoles.
