Does waht it says on the tin!

Sinlgle SBSs server with no other DCs Net logon service paused

This is due to a USN condition that is incorrectly triggered. Anyway, to stop the server from “thinking” it’s messed up, you need to remove the following from the registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters “Dsa Not Writable”=dword:00000004
Remove the entire value “Dsa Not Writable”, not just the “4″

Shares Between VMWare Guests and Hosts

Not able to see shares? This appears to only affect Server 2003 R2, it is a hardware issue. Disabled TOE (TCP/IP Offload Engine) on the Host NIC and it should resolve the issue.

Changing an OS form Sinlge to Multiprocessor HAL

Dual-core systems abound nowadays that it is virtually impossible not to upgrade to them given the nice performance offering they promise. What's more, the sweet deals out there make them even more enticing. The question now is: Is it that easy to upgrade from a uniprocessor machine (single-core) to a multiprocessor machine (dual-core)?

It might seem that simple but one will run into complexities, especially to users running NT-based Windows XP or its modern variants. To answer the above question, upgrading the processor from a single core to a dual-core involves more than unplugging the old single-core processor and putting the new dual-core one in its place. That is just the first step.

That supposedly simple unplug-n-plug upgrade requires reinstalling Windows to load the appropriate Hardware Abstraction Layer (or HAL). But there is an easier way to upgrade HAL than a reinstall. Read on as this article will guide you into how to upgrade the HAL from a uniprocessor HAL to a multiprocessor HAL.
