NetCPS: #Freeware #network #throughput #performance #test for #Windows

Geschreven op door

When you’re troubleshooting network performance (or rather: the lack of it) you might find the following tool useful.
It allows you to set up a test server (NetCPS -s) which you can then use to be contacted by several clients (NetCPS [server IP address or name]).
It doesn’t require installation and source code is provided as well, in case you might want to customize/tweak it a little or compile it to support other platforms than Microsoft Windows.

Beware: Governmental and military use is NOT permitted by the author.

How to configure the Windows XP/2003 security settings for #Sophos

Geschreven op door

If you have trouble pushing Sophos from your server to your workstations, consider reading the following article by Sophos:
How to configure the Windows XP/2003 security settings to allow one computer to be administered from another computer

We use GPO with Active Directory to push these settings automatically. While you’re there anyway, don’t forget to Disable the Windows Firewall for Domain Network Profiles and don’t forget to Enable the Remote Registry Service for your clients. Happy hacking!

#Microsoft #Office #2007 #Trial voor #HP PC’s

Als je als OEM een PC van HP aan het installeren bent en tussen het up-/downgraden van XP naar Vista of andersom wil je ook nog Office 2007 installeren, dan tref je misschien een Supplemental Software CD aan, waarvan je wéét dat er een Office 2007 mee te installeren is, maar waar staat de SETUP.EXE?!?!

Probeer het zo eens:

D:\SW\441486-33D\NL\Appl.zip\Office12\SETUP.EXE

Waarbij D: natuurlijk de schijfletter van je CD-speler is.

Succes!

#Sophos #IE8 #AddOn prevents IE8 from loading

Yes, Sophos suddenly seems to feature a Web Content Scanner AddOn for IE8. I was convinced Sophos did a file-only check (if web content contains a virus, it will eventually try to create a file on your file system) but somehow they changed their strategy… It’s funny how people and organisations are in fact all alike in their efforts to distinguish themselves…
And, of course, more functionality requires more testing…
