When Windows 2000 Or Windows Server 2003 Is Introduced IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PRIMERGY CUSTOMERS July 11th, 2007 FUJITSU, LTD. NOTICE: Any server using an Intel Xeon 7100 or higher model CPU and has either Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2003 Server installed may encounter a “blue screen.” The problem occurs when the operating system running on a computer with a fast processor and a large L3 cache encounters a timing problem with asynchronous hardware. Although Fujitsu has not received any reports of this problem to date, there is a possibility that PRIMERGY server products may be affected. Problem: Any computer running any edition of Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2003 with an Intel Xeon processor (model 7100 or higher) that utilizes a large L3 cache may generate a “blue screen.” An error similar to: STOP 0x0000008E(parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED or STOP 0x0000001E(parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED may be displayed with Windows 2003-based and Windows 2000-based computers, respectively. Affected Operating Systems: Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Advanced Server Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003, Standard Edition (*) Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003, Enterprise Edition (*) (*)This problem has been corrected in Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003. Therefore Windows 2003 Server SP1 is not affected by this problem. Affected Fujitsu PRIMERGY models: The following models use Intel Xeon 7100 or higher processors. PRIMERGY Models, Product Codes, and CPU z PRIMERGY RX600 S3 (SAS), Product codes PGR603D* and PGR603B* ¾ Dual Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7140M (3.40GHz)/7120M (3GHz) z PRIMERGY RX600 S3, Product codes PGR6038* and PGR6036* ¾ Dual Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 7140M (3.40GHz)/7120M (3GHz) * Changes by type. Solution: Microsoft has indicated there is currently no solution for Windows 2000 based computers; the following is a list of recommendations for avoiding this issue. Operating System Solution Windows 2000 Server Upgrade to Windows 2003 Server SP1. Windows 2000 Advanced Server Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition Install Service Pack 1.

  • Illustrated Tutorial: Creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive for Windows XP
    Illustrated tutorial: Creating a bootable Version 1.0 February 15, 2007 USB flash drive for Windows XP By Greg Shultz The ability to boot Windows XP from a USB Flash Drive (UFD) offers endless possibilities. For example, you might make an easy-to-use troubleshooting tool for booting and analyzing seemingly dead PCs. Or you could transport your favorite applications back and forth from home to work without having to install them on both PCs. However, before you can create a bootable UFD, you must clear a few hurdles. You saw that one coming didn’t you? The first hurdle is having a PC in which the BIOS will allow you to configure the USB port to act as a bootable device. The second hurdle is having a UFD that that will work as a bootable device and that’s large enough and fast enough to boot an operating system such as Windows XP. The third hurdle is finding a way to condense and install Windows XP on a UFD. If you have a PC that was manufactured in the last several years, chances are that its BIOS will allow you to configure the USB port to act as a bootable device. If you have a good qual- ity UFD that’s at least 512 KB and that was manufactured in the last couple of years, you’ve probably cleared the second hurdle. And once you’ve cleared those first two hur- dles, the third one is a piece of cake. All you have to do is download and run some free soft- ware to create the bootable UFD.

  • Windows Server 2012 Refresh: How to Manage the Migration
    WINDOWS SERVER 2012 REFRESH: HOW TO MANAGE THE MIGRATION A guide to overcoming the challenges during the transition from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS 5 Performing an application inventory 8 Upgrading Active Directory 9 Considering a hardware refresh 12 A move to virtualization 13 Certification, compliance and security 2 “Let’s face it. It’s the applications you’re running that are driving use of Windows Server 2003. Those are the things that are the beginning and end of what the Windows migration is all about.” AL GILLIN Program Vice President for Servers and System Software at IDC 3 INTRODUCTION With support ending for Windows Server 2003 in July 2015, companies need to ensure that their servers will adequately support the latest server OS and critical applications. By upgrading to Windows Server 2012, companies can increase their parallel computing capabilities and gain improved control over power consumption. Upgrading to the latest version of Windows Server brings the opportunity for businesses to lower their operating costs. “It’s an expensive proposition to continue supporting those old operating systems,” said Al Gillin, program vice president for servers and system software at IDC. Running one operating system rather than varieties of Server 2008, 2008 R2 and Server 2003R2 will make IT data centers more efficient. “If you have four different versions in place like that, that makes it more difficult for you to run your infrastructure,” Gillin said. When preparing for a Windows Server migration, companies should test all applications using a software tool such as Dell ChangeBASE before going live in the new OS.

  • 11.7 the Windows 2000 File System
    830 CASE STUDY 2: WINDOWS 2000 CHAP. 11 11.7 THE WINDOWS 2000 FILE SYSTEM Windows 2000 supports several file systems, the most important of which are FAT-16, FAT-32, and NTFS (NT File System). FAT-16 is the old MS-DOS file system. It uses 16-bit disk addresses, which limits it to disk partitions no larger than 2 GB. FAT-32 uses 32-bit disk addresses and supports disk partitions up to 2 TB. NTFS is a new file system developed specifically for Windows NT and car- ried over to Windows 2000. It uses 64-bit disk addresses and can (theoretically) support disk partitions up to 264 bytes, although other considerations limit it to smaller sizes. Windows 2000 also supports read-only file systems for CD-ROMs and DVDs. It is possible (even common) to have the same running system have access to multiple file system types available at the same time. In this chapter we will treat the NTFS file system because it is a modern file system unencumbered by the need to be fully compatible with the MS-DOS file system, which was based on the CP/M file system designed for 8-inch floppy disks more than 20 years ago. Times have changed and 8-inch floppy disks are not quite state of the art any more. Neither are their file systems. Also, NTFS differs both in user interface and implementation in a number of ways from the UNIX file system, which makes it a good second example to study. NTFS is a large and complex system and space limitations prevent us from covering all of its features, but the material presented below should give a reasonable impression of it.

  • Page 1 of 3 How to Enable NTLM 2 Authentication 2/8/2012 Http
    How to enable NTLM 2 authentication Page 1 of 3 Article ID: 239869 - Last Review: January 25, 2007 - Revision: 4.7 How to enable NTLM 2 authentication System Tip This article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you. Visit the Windows 7 Solution Center This article was previously published under Q239869 SUMMARY Historically, Windows NT supports two variants of challenge/response authentication for network logons: • LAN Manager (LM) challenge/response • Windows NT challenge/response (also known as NTLM version 1 challenge/response) The LM variant allows interoperability with the installed base of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition clients and servers. NTLM provides improved security for connections between Windows NT clients and servers. Windows NT also supports the NTLM session security mechanism that provides for message confidentiality (encryption) and integrity (signing). Recent improvements in computer hardware and software algorithms have made these protocols vulnerable to widely published attacks for obtaining user passwords. In its ongoing efforts to deliver more secure products to its customers, Microsoft has developed an enhancement, called NTLM version 2, that significantly improves both the authentication and session security mechanisms. NTLM 2 has been available for Windows NT 4.0 since Service Pack 4 (SP4) was released, and it is supported natively in Windows 2000. You can add NTLM 2 support to Windows 98 by installing the Active Directory Client Extensions. After you upgrade all computers that are based on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows NT 4.0, you can greatly improve your organization's security by configuring clients, servers, and domain controllers to use only NTLM 2 (not LM or NTLM).
