Any IT Pro can tell you that solving problems is as much as art as it is a science. I don’t think you can ever have enough tools in your admin toolkit. Here’s one that ships with Windows that you may not know about but one which I think can be very useful. This tool has been around for awhile on both client and server platforms. For the sake of this article I’m going to demonstrate using it on Windows 7, but everything should equally apply to your servers. System Configuration Under Administrative Tools you should find a link to... [Lire la suite]

CentOS version 6 est disponible, l’installation ne change gère de la version 5 mais je reviendrais dessus prochainement. Par contre par défaut CentOS active SELinux ce qui peut gêner certain d’entre vous Security-Enhanced Linux, abrégé SELinux, est un Linux security module (LSM), qui permet de définir une politique de contrôle d’accès obligatoire aux éléments d’un système basé sur Linux.

Last week I was asked, on Twitter, if it was possible to publish a built in application (like Internet Backgammon) from Windows XP mode.  The answer is: Yes, but it is a little tricky. Most people use Windows XP mode to run specific applications that they have that will not run under Windows 7.  These people do not want to have their start menus cluttered with all the applications that populate the Windows XP menu – they just want to access their applications.  For this reason, we block publishing of all of the built...

In Windows Vista we introduced “BitLocker” to Windows – a native full disk encryption technology for Windows.  Most people immediately saw the potential for BitLocker on laptops.  Encrypting your laptop meant that if you were ever unfortunate enough to lose your laptop (through theft or forgetfulness) you would not have to worry about someone else getting access to your data. But today I would like to explain to you why you want to use BitLocker on your servers too.  All of your servers. Recently, I had a hard disk... [Lire la suite]

n the upcoming Windows Server 8 the Task Manager tool is very different from earlier versions. The tool has been completely rewritten with both different counters and a new look. In this blog post we will see how to use the new Task Manager to monitor the most important counters in Windows Server 8. Every version of the Windows Server operating systems has included the Task Manager real time performance tool. Since at least Windows NT 3.51 the tool has looked and worked very much the same with small differences in each release, but... [Lire la suite]

Les partenaires d'Intel sont prévenus. Dès avril 2012, ils pourront intégrer la technologie Thunderbolt, un port double protocole offrant un débit E/S de 10 Gbit/s, sur des PC tournant avec Windows. Coup de foudre sur les PC ! Les utilisateurs d’ordinateurs tournant avec Windows devraient découvrir la technologie Thunderbolt en avril prochain. Développée par Intel et Apple, intégrée aux Mac depuis février 2011, cette connexion a pour intérêt de condenser les entrées/sorties en un seul port double protocole (PCI... [Lire la suite]

Thin­Print (main­te­nant Cor­tado) intègre en OEM la tech­no­lo­gie .Print dans VMware View depuis la ver­sion 3.0. Elle est inté­gré de base dans les VMware Tools (même les ser­veurs) et elle per­met de dis­po­ser des fonc­tions de base: la com­pres­sion des flux d'impression et le dri­vers uni­ver­sel d'imprimante.Mais la gamme Thin­Print pour View est bien plus vaste que la simple ver­sion OEM et peut adres­ser des pro­blé­ma­tiques plus com­plexes. Je vais donc essayer de pré­sen­ter sim­ple­ment les dif­fé­rentes version. La... [Lire la suite]
