I have installed the RC1 version of windows vista 64 bit. Then installed virtual server 2003R2 version for 64 bit. Everything was working fine. I could remote desktop to windows vista machine, use the virtual server admin web from another pc, etc. I then put in a linksys router, reset it, and was going to use it as a bridge for wireless inside my network. I then experience many network issues,...

Currently evaluating Windows Vista RC1. Has anyone experienced any issues with Windows Vista firewall ports being detected as "closed" or "open" but not listed as "secure"? I ran several firewall port tests from various sites (ie: http://www.hackerwatch.org/probe/ ) and all listed the same open ports "Telnet 23" and "Web Proxy 8080". All other ports are listed as "Closed" which should...

I have just installed build 5728 on a dual boot system (separate drives). In addition, I have installed Office 2007 Beta Refresh on both XP SP2 and Vista. Consequently, I would like to share a common PST file. This resides on my XP partition. With UAC turned on, I am blocked from accessing the common PST (permissions). With UAC turned off, I am able to access the file. Could anyone tell...

Has anyone heard of a release date for a vista ported version of Onecare Live? I am beginning to wonder if they may not know where to go with it since most of the better features have been included into vista itself. ~Leon

Are there any risks associated with an expired built-in Administrator password? I've been googling but can't seem to quite get results that speak to this issue.

Hi! Has anyone managed to get Autoenroll towards a 2003 CA server to work form a different subnet from the CA? When connected to the same subnet everything works fine, but if I'm on a different subnet, the request fails with an error stating the the RPC server is unavailable. Any thoughts?

I purchased Window Live One Care from Staples about 2 months ago. I received and loaded Windows Vista RC1 yesterday. When I try to install the One Care, it says I need the XP SP2 files. What do I do? I love Vista, but also One Care.

Hello: Scenario: 1) Launch notepad.exe with High MIC label, create file, close file. 2) Launch notepad.exe with Medium MIC label, edit that same file, save the changes successfully. Isn't this a violation of the purpose of mandatory integrity control? A process with a lower label (Medium) is successfully editing a file created and saved by another process with a higher label (High)?

Hi, I'm new to Vista...just started checking it out. One thing I've observed that I really dislike is the implementation of the User Account Control. That setting is currently at the computer level and really should be at the individual user account level. I realize that this setting makes the computer more secure when enabled, but it's really irritating for a power user like myself to...

This message appears when I try to open security center. Anoying, anyone aware of a fix or workaround?

Hi, Can anyone provide a suggestion to get BitLocker enabled with TPM support on a Gateway computer? I have Vista RC1 installed on a Gateway M280. The M280 has a Broadcom TPM 1.2 chip that is installed properly according to Device Manager. However, the TPM managment console, BitLocker Control Panel applet, and the "manage-bde.wsf" script will not recongize the chip. All other devices are...

I uninstalled ver. 14.56 and rebooted and security center says PC-cillin is still turned on as the firewall. Turned on Windows firewall and security center says I'm using both firewalls. PC-pillin is not even installed any longer. Any ideas? Using build 5728.
