windows 7, windows 2008 ipv6 addresses

http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/37947

quote here
One of the controversial IPv6 features in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 is that it uses random interface identifiers when creating its IPv6 addresses

Windows 7 doesn’t use the EUI-64 technique by default when forming its interface identifier. Microsoft has blurred the lines between these two address autoconfiguration concepts with their temporary addresses and now their randomly-generated interface identifiers. However, thankfully Microsoft has given us the ability to disable or enable this feature as needed with the following commands.

netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disabled
netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=enabled

windows 7 easy transfer error There isn't enough room ...

there isn't enough room ...

well, there is a D drive in the old xp pc, the the D drive in the new on is a recovery partition, so there isn't enough room, manually tweak it to bypass this problem.

when transfer the profile over, it failed to handle the one situation where a user was re-name before. hence pst file not being copied, email account need manually setup again.

pop.gmail.com

well what's cathy's password in the outlook 2000? a little program mailpv.exe showed me the correct one.

the pst file is under users\cathy\appdata\local

windows 7 and low-profile video cards, ieee-1284, parallel-usb cable, argos

installed W7 Pro PC in a domain enviroment.

SAV v10.0 won't work with this version. symantec is going to drop support for v10.00 anyway.

so I have to install MS security essentials instead.

the challenge is to install Ieee-1284 device driver for a parallel to USB cable, then install driver for an Argos 203DT PLLB label printer.

another challenge is the generic PC is a low profile one, all add-on cards of course need to be low-profile (or half height). any video card upgrade need to be half-height. if no half height video card to be found, it is hard to cut it in half.

CD/DVD writer software for my windows 7 x64 ultimate notebook

CD/DVD writer software for my windows 7 x64 ultimate notebook .... yeah... I know W7 has an ISO writer, I found it very picky. It wont write some ISO files.

I loaded Ashampoo ... comes free from a PC World DVD, wrote a DVD, seemed ok. when I did a very slow online upgrade, it became a trial version. I register it. now I am get heaps of emails from various Ashampoo addresses. I think I will un-load it.

I have used UltraIso, its ok.

now I have another ISO burner imgburn.

for data writing, I have installed CDBurnerXP, that worked last night.

MS SQL 2005 feathure pack and Winodws 7

MS SQL 2005 feathure pack and Winodws 7 .... after installation of a SQL app. one of the functions stopped working.

the app support chap told me to install SQL tools. I pop in SQL 2000 CD, but that won't run on W7.

I am told to call all the people around the world to find out, including microsoft.

SQL 2005 mgmt studio seeems to run on W7.

after a tip, it is the MS SQL server 2005 feature pack - Backward compatibilty package I need. this is needed to work with SQL 2000 server. the original error is activex could not create object.

Toshiba Portege R600 and an EU company glabal warning

Toshiba Portege R600 and an EU company glabal warning, what happened if a notebook get lost. someone has to scamble for days to get back on feet again.

well, an european company told their global distrubutors to get two identical notebooks. the idea is to back up the data, and copy the data back to the notebook that still available.

to do that a new toshoba portege r600 is ordered for the local boss. that's not the exact version of the old version. the cpu is different, and the new one got 3G wireless. this is not a cheap model. But I doubt it has a solid state hard drive.

so took an image of old R600 hard drive. the shadow protect speed runs at 26MB/s which is not bad.

luckily this user only stores his data under his profile. so Use synback to copy his profile to a network drive.

The new R600 is running W7, the original is running W-XP (got vista license downgraded).

Boot from Shadow Protect IT ed Q4'09, select legacy w2003 restore mode, surprsingly it won't see the w7 loaded disk.
boot again select vista based restore mode. things are fine.

migrate files/settings from windows XP to Windows 7

just installed a windows 7, need migrate user files/settings over from another XP machine.
run w7 easy transfer, select network mode. but the two machine could not find each other.
the way around it would be use flash/usb drive, then can still select network location to be used for transfer.
got a feeling some files like outlook xp (2000?) pst not being transferred.

then getting to a point of manually doing it. also need rename *.nk2 to outlook.nk2 so outlook 2007 can pick up cache.

wake up a remote computer

computer wake up, yeah, the lastest lenovo windows 7. the settings is 20 minutes into sleep mode.
But it will never respond to RDP pkt.

use a PPTP connection into a client's network. used various WOL tools, no luck.

finnally copied the wake-up tools onto the remote server, and this time sucesfully waked up the windows 7 PC.

it seems those wake-up tools not working via a PPTP tunnel, even if ping is ok.
