It is a Perl based tool, but it will work under windows using ActivePerl (a free plug-in for Microsoft webserver software).

Which operating system you decide to use should depend on what features you need. For example, if you are already using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Windows Media, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, or Visual InterDev, and you don't have the time to learn Unix-based solutions, you'll have to choose a Windows NT or Windows 2000-based host. Just because your desktop is Windows-based doesn't mean you should use a Windows host.

Windows 2000 includes a component called the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) which automatically manages the replication within a site. A bi-directional ring topology is used intra-site using RPC (Remote Procedure Call) over TCP/IP without any kind of compression. This is because domain controllers within a site are thought to be on a fast network (as per the definition of a site) and the extra processing required to compress/uncompress is undesirable.

Sites can be linked using RPC over IP or SMTP. Once you define the site links, schedules, cost factors and any site link bridges (if appropriate) the Knowledge Consistency Checker can then create the connection objects providing the site links are transitive in nature.

In a Windows NT 4.0 based domain a space is a legal character in the NetBIOS domain name. Windows 2000 domains are DNS based are therefore DNS names however a NetBIOS name is also given for backwards compatibility. DNS does not allow a space in a name and so to keep consistency Microsoft have now removed the space as a legal character in a 2000 NetBIOS domain name. It can contain the following special characters: ! @ # $ % ^ & ( ) - _ ' { } .

Even though Windows 2000 names are DNS based, e.g. savilltech.com, a NetBIOS name is also specified during DCPROMO execution for backwards compatibility with older clients/domain controllers and is normally the left most part of the DNS name, e.g. savilltech, although it can be changed to a user specified name. Once this NetBIOS name has been set during DCPROMO execution you cannot change it.

I bought one of these and wasted ages trying to get it to work until I found some great instructions at http://sites.netscape.net/richij/rio500-win2000.html. The instructions show you how to use a special USB driver and a special version of the Audio software. alternative method which I've since found is to use the same USB driver (http://www.ntfaq.com/ntfaq/download/riousb.zip) and extract to a directory. Attach the RIO500 via USB and power it on.

Windows 2000 domains rely heavily on DNS entries however the entries are created automatically providing you have enable dynamic update on the relevant DNS zones. Below are explanations of what the entries are used for: Allows a client to localte a Windows 2000 domain controller in the domain named by <DNSDomainName>. A client searching for a DC in domain savilltech.com would query the DNS server for _ldap._tcp.savilltech.

Windows 2000 is the new name for Windows NT 5.0, the replacement for the current Windows NT 4.0. It employs the same core technologies as NT, but adds many new ones that were not previously available in NT, such as Plug-and-Play, support for USB devices, power management, DirectX 7.x, etc. It is not for consumers, but for businesses.

Our servers operate on Red Hat Linux version 9.0. We will announce news of our Windows hosting plans in the near future.

While logged onto Windows 2000 as a User, open the ADDAPT shortcut and check the Run as different user box. When you click the shortcut, you will be prompted to enter a user name and password. Of course the user name must be one that has administrator privileges. While logged onto Windows 2000 as an Administrator, open System32/regedt32.exe. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Avtron Manufacturing.

A corrupt temporary file can often cause the Disk Cleanup utility to hang. To resolve this problem, try deleting all temporary files on your computer by performing the following steps: Type Ctrl+A or from the Edit menu click Select All to select all the files, press Delete, then click Yes to the confirmation. Select the "Delete all offline content" check box, then click OK. You should now be able to run the Disk Cleanup tool.

The answer to this question will depend on your needs. Unix/Linux is the most common and the most stable operating system for web hosting servers. You do not need to run Unix on your PC to enjoy this benefit. Few people with Unix web hosting accounts actually have Unix running on their own PC. It works fine with Windows 95/98/ME/XP/2000 or even a Macintosh. If you are needing to use applications that are geared more toward Windows servers, Windows 2000 is the best choice.

If you've registered your domain name through us, and have chosen us as your hosting company, the process is easy. Upon completing the registration and hosting order forms, it takes the global DNS tables 24-48 hours to update and point to your web site. If you've registered your domain name through another Registrar, but have wisely chosen us as your hosting company, we'll help you to update your DNS information.

As we saw in 'Q. How does replication work intra-site in Windows 2000?' replication for naming context data is replicated intra-site 5 minutes after the change is made to allow any further changes to be grouped and sent together. This 5 minute pause can be changed via the registry: You will also notice another parameter, 'Replicator notify pause between DSAs (secs)' under the same registry key which determines the number of seconds to pause between notification of the Directory Service Agents.

Your decision should be based on what type of features you need. If you're using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Windows Media, Microsoft SQL Server and don't have any knowledge of Unix based solutions, you would be looking to use a Windows based server. Although Linux based systems are most common among web hosts, as they provide many shared-hosting features, have a good history of stability and performance, and most importantly, Apache and Linux are free.

Our offer is 100% free. In addition to this, we will also pay the entire external fee to the domain name registrar. Buying your domain name directly from the registrars may cost you up to ?60 per year. We will pay this for you, with each new web hosting account.

For most classes, no. However, if you are taking a Computer Science course that requires a specific operating system, such as Windows, you can't use a Mac. Check with the instructor of the course if you are unsure. Also, at this time, most of the proprietary course content used in the Math 55 and 65 online courses cannot be accessed on a Mac.

Yes, they most definitely can. As hosting and computer operating systems are totally independent, it does not matter if they match or not. Most people who view this linux-hosted page have a windows PC.
