We had problems with the 4.x corp addition with Exchange. It would miss large volumns coming in... (nimda at the time, course that was a while ago, mabye they fixed it up)

Yeah it took me about the same to figure out the spoolxx problem myself. Even after calling McAfee's tech(dumb) support. (you would think that they would have known about the issue, but they didn't) X| I think that was one of the reasons it ate my Exchange server. (BTW I think I still have DS entries for the McAfee box, I couldn't ever get rid of them, raw mode doesn't show them, but when you do a DS consistancy check, it pops up. Weird.) Anyways.. It will work in a workgroup. You will just have to manually touch each client to install it. (Rather than put the 'auto check to see if it is installed checker' in a login script) It uses a IIS server to relay updates etc and it uses a relatively small memory foot print. The only sucky thing about it is pricing. You have to purchase separate licenses for Server vs Workstation vs Exchange. All AV softwares are like that though. But you get past that, and it just works. We have seen absolutely no nimda on our net since we installed it. It just cleans it as it happens. (and barks a ton) You can put it on a shared server, but it is best to have it on it's own. (for outbreaks and massive updates) A neat feature I like is it has outbreak function, so if a nasty hits your site, you can force scans on all computers that have it installed on it. This goes for Servers, Workstations, Exchange etc... Rocken kewl av.

heheh shocker. We used McAfee up till 4.01? Then it ate our Exchange server. After a long battle of Microsoft pointing fingers at McAfee and McAfee pointing fingers back at Microsoft, we finally got the server back up and running. We have switched over to Trend, and let me tell you. Talk about install and forget. I couldn't be more happy with trend. It just plain works. We use it for more than 1500 desktops as well as server and mail. If you can, I would seriously consider digtching McAfee and going with Trend.

The DARWIN AWARD CANDIDATES 1. In September in Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys. 2. In October, a 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran," accidentally jogged off a 100-foot-high cliff on his daily run. 3. Buxton, NC: A man died on a beach when an 8-foot-deep hole he had dug into the sand caved in as he sat inside it. Beach goers said Daniel Jones, 21 dug the hole for fun, or protection from the wind, and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom Thursday afternoon when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach, on the outer banks, used their hands and shovels, trying to claw their way to Jones, a resident of Woodbridge, VA., but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him while about 200 people looked on. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital. 4. In February, Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed in Lompoc, CA, as he fell face-first through the ceiling of bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had laced in his mouth (to keep his hands free) rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor. 5. According to police in Dahlonega, GA, ROTC cadet Nick Berrena, 20, was stabbed to death in January by fellow cadet Jeffrey Hoffman, 23, who was trying to prove that a knife could not penetrate he flak vest Berrena was wearing. 6. Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed in February in Selbyville, Del, as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger. 7. In February, according to police in Windsor, Ontario, Daniel Kolta, 27, and Randy Taylor, 33, died in a head-on collision, thus earning a tie in the game of chicken they were playing with their snowmobiles. DARWIN AWARD HONORABLE MENTIONS 1. In Guthrie, Okla., in October, Jason Heck tried to kill a millipede with a shot from his 22-caliber rifle, but the bullet ricocheted off a rock near the hole and hit pal Antonio Martinez in the head, fracturing his skull. 2. In Elyria, Ohio, in October, Martyn Eskins, attempting to clean out cobwebs in his basement declined to use a broom in favor of a propane torch and caused a fire that burned the first and second floors of his house. 3. Paul Stiller, 47, was hospitalized in Andover Township, NJ, and his wife Bonni was also injur

If it is a w2k box, you can use WMI. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dns/dns\_wmi\_6lyq.asp

Move the UserObj to a dataset, then with the dataset do a xmlwrite

First try the SNMP provider: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=19776 (included on XP?) http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/docs/WMIandSNMP.doc so you can still use WMI from C#.

If the server is remote, then you can also use wmi to shut it down. In your msdn: ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/wmisdk/u_ctrl_2ndx.htm

Toss me some idearz. I am intrested in how to actually store the data.

PAL - PAL (Phase Alternating Line) is a video standard used in many countries around the world. Countries such as the United Kingdom, The Netherlands and more use PAL as their video standard. When a VHS, DVD or laserdisc is released using the PAL format it can have a maximum resolution up to 625 lines with a vertical frequency of 50Hz. There are different types of PAL standards, one of which uses a vertical frequency of 60Hz instead of 50Hz. NTSC - NTSC (National Television Ssystem Committee) is another video standard used in many countries around the world. While it's not technically superior, it's more widely used thanks to its use in the United States and a variety of other countries, such as Japan. When a VHS, DVD or laserdisc is released using the NTSC format it can have a maximum resolution up to 525 lines with a vertical frequency of 60hz. So can you play a PAL VHS, DVD or laserdisc on an NTSC TV? The answer is no. TVs are either NTSC capable, PAL capable or both. Unfortunately, nearly every TV in the United States is NTSC only. If you live in a country where PAL is the standard you can generally get a TV that is capable of both PAL and NTSC native playback. So you live in an NTSC country and you want to play a PAL DVD yar sol.;P
