I hope this is the correct NG - if not can you please direct me to a more appropriate NG . . Thanks For this test I was using Vista RC1 build 5728 and SBS 2003 SP1 (This issue occurs for both Vista x86 and x64) - it also applied to the beta2 build of Vista. I setup a Vista User to our SBS 2003 Domain using the connectcomputer wizard. It all went well but . . .

We were having trouble with our comp being slow, so I decided to try the guest account to see if it was problems with the desk top. When I went to user accounts to turn guest account on, I found a user account not set up by us and that does not show up on welcome screen. It is ASP.NET Machine A..., Limited Account, and password protected. If I try to change password, delete, rename, etc. ...

What about the Start, Run command. That is one of the first things I noticed was "missing" when I installed Vista build 5600. "Jimmy Brush" wrote: Hello, I'm not sure if run as will be making an appearance later, I couldn't find any information about it.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to explain UAC, Q: UAC is Microsoft's way of controlling my computer and preventing me from using it! A: This is 100% UNTRUE. UAC puts control of your computer IN YOUR HANDS by allowing you to prevent unwanted programs from accessing your computer. *Everything* that you can do with UAC turned off, you can do with it turned on. If this is...

I have been assigned by my Professor in a University I am attending to use Vista to create an Active Directory just like Windows 2003. This is only because I am a tester of and have a beta copy of Vista instead of a copy of Windows 2003 server. My question is there a program like dcpromo.exe in Vista? If so do you have instructions how to create an active directory using Vista? I am...

Hey guys, I have a legit key from Microsoft, and activated, and have it installed. Does it ever expire? I don't think it does.

I made a file on my desktop and now when I try to delete is, I recieve the followin error message: CANNOT DELETE (FILENAME): IT IS BEING USED BY ANOTHER PERSON OR PROGRAM. CLOSE ANY PROGRAMS THAT MIGHT BE USING THE FILE AND TRY AGAIN. I have no other programs running and am in the user profile that created this file. What's Going On???

I want to upgrade my WinXP Pro to Vista RC1, but I tested in the lab and it removes the Admin tools. I have a 2000 AD. The only way I know to get AD admin tools (AD Users and computers, AD Sites/Services, etc.) is to actually set up Longhorn Server, the make it a DC, then use the tools installed to administer the other domain. Is there any other way?

Dear Jimmy, Well, it looks like the control userpasswords2 method of bypassing the user account screen has been completely disabled in Release Candidate 2. Even when the checkbox is cleared, the user screen still intervenes before startup. Microsoft strikes back, again. "Jimmy Brush" wrote:

I want to know how to get my disc cleanup to start automatically. I have used "schedule a task" to have disc cleanup start when I am away from the computer. All that happens is that disc cleanup opens up when secheduled. But then it waits for me to hit the ok start button before it begins. Is there a way I can program it to open and start automatically? -- CA

Just installed RC1. I'm the only user on the entire system. Clean install. I tried to import the Outlook pst file from the last (beta) release, oh, you know, as instructed when backing up the pst file. I get the error that I apparently don't have access to this file. What new pseudo-Nazi Republican B.S. is this? I'm sorry, I'm at my wit's end -- each subsequent release of this OS...

I was checking out Windows Cardspace. I read the Help, but it doesn't say anywhere how to use it! I want to use a card to fill in some fields on a website. How do I do that? I can't find it. Is this only possible with Internet Explorer? Does the website has to be specially designed to use this?

Took ownership etc. now returns "you need permission from "ME" to delete this file" Well I am "ME" so how can I give myself permission ?? I have tryed every security setting - auiting/permissions/inherit etc. An Help ??

Every time I run Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 in Vista RC1, I get a dialog asking whether I know and trust the program. Is there a way of telling Vista that I trurt this program always, so that it will run this particular program henceforth without the dialog box? Note - I don't want to turn off this security check for all new software.

Well, I needed to reformat my computer since it had been acting up for a while and I hadn't done it in almost a year. It's really nice to have a nice, clean system, for as long as it lasts of course. While I was at it, I went ahead and setup a dual boot with Windows Vista RC1. I wanted to play around with it a little and learn my way around before I purchase in the spring and I have to say...

I'm using Build 5728 and I can't get Vista to set up a domain user account on my tablet PC. I have tried loggin in wired and wireless. Removed my tablet from the domain and readded it back. I have even blown out the old acounts and tried to re-add them. I have seen on these boards that this is noy uncommon, but I have seen no answers as to any resolutions. Is this a known issue for...

I'm about to install RC1, but before I do I need to know what went wrong between 5384 and 5742. I installed 5384 and, buggy as it was, I never had administrator/access problems.
