I have a problem with the availability of server from the outside (from local network all works perfect). A key problem is the http, where the requests are carried out but only if the response is less than a certain number of KB. - if accessed via browser from the outside, only the request less than or equal to 4KB are responsed - if acc...

Hi. How to find what all users have logged on my windows server 2003. What is the property/setting/service that should be enabled to log all the logons to my server. Is there a way to display an alert mail or message (a script or something) whenever a user logs on. Many thanks :) ...
I am using the Win32 API call SetForegroundWindow to set focus to another application's window. I am then using SendKeys to send keystrokes to that window. This works well apart from when a modal window (such as a File Open dialog) is open. In this scenario I want to set that modal child window as the foreground window. Using my main a...
I want to create an installer EXE with some specific properties: it should be a single exe file it should be robust (i.e. the technique should be known to work well on any Windows system) it should create only a single file (a .scn screensaver file) in %systemroot% it should add the option to uninstall that particular file in "Control ...
Hi, I need to monitor and report on all changes (folders and directories added, permissions changed, registry entries added) that are made during the installation of a software program. Can anyone suggest a tool that is capable of doing this? Thanks, MagicAndi. ...
I have a project that comprises pre-build Dll modules, built some time in the past, using Visual Studio 9. The EXE of the project is built now, using SP1 of Visual Studio 9. When we deploy the EXE we don't want to require administrative access, so the C-Runtime has been bundled into the root of the application. The Dlls: MSVCRT90.DLL a...
I've got an application that runs Twisted by starting the reactor with reactor.run() in my main thread after starting some other threads, including the CherryPy web server. Here's a program that shuts down cleanly when Ctrl+C is pressed on Linux but not on Windows: from threading import Thread from signal import signal, SIGINT import ...
Is there a way to execute a .net application compiled under AnyCPU as a 32-bit application when running in a 64-bit Windows environment without recompiling as x86? ...
I need an app that sends an UDP packet to some network server and receives the response. The server replies to the same port number where request came from, so I first need to bind() my socket to any UDP port number. Hardcoding the UDP port number is a bad idea, as it might be used by any other application running on the same PC. Is th...
I have been asked what it would cost to port a .NET application to Mac. I don't have enough knowledge to even give a rough estimate. I have not done anything on a Macintosh above surfing the web, and that was 10 years ago. My guess is that we probably have to write it from scratch in java or objective-c. We are a Windows/Linux shop, a...
Follow on from this question: I am working on a Python 2.4 app which will run on Windows XP. It needs to be able to download various resources from HTTP and it's got to work in all of our office locations which use "PAC" files to automatically select http proxies. Thanks to somebody who responded to my previous question I managed to fi...
According to the documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394102%28VS.85%29.aspx this property may assume the following string values: "X86-based PC" "MIPS-based PC" "Alpha-based PC" "Power PC" "SH-x PC" "StrongARM PC" "64-bit Intel PC" "64-bit Alpha PC" "Unknown" "X86-Nec98 PC" Most of it is pretty obvious, but what...
Hello - We would like to force encryption of the data going to and from our customers' SQL databases. Currently, we access the customer databases via ODBC DSNs, using both SQL Management Studio (Query Analyzer) and our custom applications. Yeah, I know this is not "best practices", but I have to deal with it for now. Anyway, I have b...
We have an application written in C/C++ which is broken into a single EXE and multiple DLLs. Each of these DLLs makes use of the same static library (utilities.lib). Any global variable in the utility static library will actually have multiple instances at runtime within the application. There will be one copy of the global variable p...
At the office, when I leave for the night I very rarely log off or reboot. I simply lock my workstation and go home, leaving all my development tools exactly how I left them. If Windows-Update rolls through and reboots my machine in the middle of the night I'm only slightly peeved because when I log back in the next morning, any MS Off...
I'm working on a CLI application that deals with uploading of files, and would like to have a combination of appended and overwritten output. Ideally it would look something like this: c:\>upload file1.dat 100% file2.dat 100% file3.dat 59%, 36.4k/s I'd like just the last row to periodically update the percent compl...
Developing a project of mine I realize I have a need for some level of persistence across sessions, for example when a user executes the application, changes some preferences and then closes the app. The next time the user executes the app, be it after a reboot or 15 minutes, I would like to be able to retain the preferences that had be...
f:\i>move foo bar dir The syntax of the command is incorrect help move says: MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination This seems to imply multiple arguments. So how can I give multiple arguments to move? ...
Microsoft's powertoy is relatively well known. But it requires you to open a cmd one level above, from where you'd usually like. So I found this nice app, CmdOpenInstall (let's make the man some traffic :-) - it enables you to open cmd in the current directory. Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to the command (which appears o...
