User creates a new Web page named Private.htm for the Web application. He saves the Web page in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder on his computer. Private.htm should be accessible only to users who provide a valid user name and password. Other pages in the Web site should be accessible to anyone. Using his Web browser, user can access Private.htm without providing a user name or password. You need to ensure that users are required to provide a valid user name and password in order to access Private.htm.
We must allow anyone access the Web site. The only exception is the private.htm file that should be accessible only to users who provide a valid user name and password. We accomplish this by setting the appropriate NTFS permissions, the security permission, on the file private.htm. In this scenario the anonymous access check box on the Web site properties dialog box is selected. This permits people to access the Web site anonymously without any form of authentication.
Note: By using permissions we will prevent unauthorized people from access the Web site. Permissions rely on and Access Control List (ACL), which contains a list of all user accounts and groups that have been granted access to the Web site as well as the type of access that they have been granted. When a user attempts to gain access to the resource, the ACL must contain an entry for the user account or a group to which the user belongs. The entry must allow the type of access that is requested by the user before that user can gain access to the resource. If the access control entry does not exist or the entry does not match the type of access the user requests, the user will not be granted access to the resource.

After upgrade from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Professional, the user reports that he cannot change his Display settings to anything other than 640 x 480 resolution with 16 color. You verify that this computer has the same video hardware as all the other client computers. You also verify that the hardware vendor does not currently offer a video driver for Windows XP Professional. You need to enable the user to change his Display settings to higher resolution and color quality. What should Install the Windows 2000 Professional version of the video drivers on the computer.
The computers that are using Windows XP are working properly but the new computer did not. This suggests that the Windows XP installation CD does not have drivers for the video adapter and that the upgraded computers are still using the Windows 2000 drivers. It also suggests that the Windows 2000 driver is compatible with Windows XP Professional and that we could therefore use the Windows 2000 video adapter driver on the Windows XP Professional computer.

You have just set up a new Windows XP Professional computer at home. The computer is always connected to the internet via an ADSL modem. The computer is configured to have a static IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider. You enable the Internet connection Firewall on the ADSL connection. You use the Ping command on your office computer to try to connect to your home computer. However, you receive the following error message: “Request timed out.”
The ping command sends a series of ICMP echo requests to the specified computer. However, the ICMP echo requests are being dropped by the firewall and are therefore not reaching the specified computer. We need to configure the firewall to allow the ICMP echo requests so that they can pass to the specified computer.

When an expert attempts to connect to a novice’s computer, the expert may receive the following error message: ” A Remote Assistance connection could not be established. You may want to check for network issues or determine if the invitation expired or was cancelled by the person who sent it.”
This problem can occur if the Internet Connection Firewall has been enabled after the Remote Assistance invitation was created. To resolve this problem, we should either create a new Remote Assistance invitation while ICF is enabled, and then send the new invitation to the expert; or we should disable the Internet Connection Firewall while the expert attempts to establish the Remote Assistance invitation; or restart the novice’s computer, and then have the expert establish the Remote Assistance session.

You are the desktop administrator for the Graphic Design Institute. You have just deployed new Windows XP Professional computers to all graphic designers. Each computer has a built-in tape drive for data backups. The graphic designers need to back up their own data to the tape drive. You add all graphic designers’ user accounts administrator members of the Backup Operators group on their computers. Then you instruct the graphic designers to create a full backup of all their data every Monday morning. The graphic designers need to back up all of their data once a week. They also need to back up all the changes since the last full backup. The graphic designers want to use a backup method that allows them to recover their data as quickly as possible. You should advice graphic designer to perform a normal backup every Monday. Create an Incremental backup for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. A Differential back up only backs up files and folders that are marked as having been altered since the last full backup but does not clear these markers. These markers are called archive bits. Thus, if we performed two differential backups on a file that has been altered since the last full back but not since the last differential backup, the file would be backed up on both occasions. This provides the quickest recovery method as we would have to restore only the most recent full backup and the most recent differential backup.

You install Windows XP Professional on your portable computer. The computer is configured to use an IEEE 1394 PC card. You use the computer to download pictures from a digital camera while you are at the office. You attend a meeting every Monday. During the meeting you use a battery to supply power to your portable computer. Occasionally, the battery runs out of power during these meetings. You need to configure the computer to conserve battery power while you attend your weekly meeting without affecting your power options when you use the computer at your office. You should also Create an additional hardware profile, and disable the IEEE 1394 PC card for this profile. To ensure the optimal performance in different networking environments, we should create different hardware profiles that the users can choose from under different network environments. We do not require the IEEE 1394 PC card at the meeting therefore we should create a profile that has the IEEE 1394 PC card disabled to save the battery resources used to power this card. We can then choose this profile when he we are at the meeting.

If the option for System Restore is enabled, you can without too much effort to try to return the system in working condition. By default, System Restore is enabled. There are two options: a quicker option is to use the Last Known Good Configuration menu of that particular choice. In this selection using recent settings that worked. If the problem is not resolved, you can try to restore the system to an earlier time. This happens when you start Windows XP in Safe Mode and run the application System Restore: click start, click all programs, accessories, system tools and then system restore. Then simply follow the instructions to recover in time when you want. Mentioned recovery system can save you many problems, such as the operating system unable to load in normal mode or continuous drooping and restart caused by the installation of software or a new version of the driver. When installing any driver or software, it creates a “restore point” and thus at issue may return to a previous state. If your system can not be loaded normally, but you can not start safe mode in Windows, it means that you have a software problem. He is due to the driver used by any hardware device or installed by the program. If you get a system crash before to load the operating system interface, or display BSOD ( “blue screen of death”), this means that the problem most likely is related to the driver. But if problems occur after the onset of the graphic interface and obtain a crash or system works very slowly, this means that the problem most likely relates to software that Windows tries to load in its startup.

After exposing the benefits of safe mode, we get to the question how to enter this mode. Is one way and is very easy. To go into Safe Mode, you must press F8 key on your keyboard during boot, just before the bar loading, which appears at the bottom to reach the right edge of the screen. Will appear a black screen on which are inscribed the possible ways to boot. You will see several options Safe Mode:
• Safe Mode – loads only the absolute minimum of drivers;
• Safe Mode with Networking – an opportunity to connect with other computers through the network;
• Safe Mode with Command Prompt – instead of loading the GUI interface of Windows Explorer, run the command prompt;
• Enable VGA Mode – run Windows in 640×480 pixels resolution. This possibility will be useful if you mistakenly set the resolution, which is not supported by your monitor;
• Last Known Good Configuration – run Windows, using the previous configuration that has worked;
• Starts Windows Normally – hardly needs explanation;
• Reboot – Reboot the computer.
There are several modes that are irrelevant to the topic of this article. As you know, Windows XP comes in Pro and Home versions. And in both Safe Mode is the same as the opportunities and options. The only difference is that the Home version of the Administrator account is available only in safe mode, and is the standard account for it. Not require a password for the Administrator account, which is prejudicial to the security of the system, as anyone who has physical access to your computer, you can use Safe Mode to remove or change the passwords of other accounts. But this feature if you look from a positive angle is quite useful, because if you forget your password, you can easily change it in Safe Mode.

Oh, very often I hear the problem that cannot join computer in domain, in spite of administrative rights having in account. Really the problem appears when the network is quite big and user is member of too many groups. To solve this issue you can follow some simple steps and the computer will join in domain:
1. Log on with local administrator account
2. Open Start – Run and type in the box, which appear regedit
3. The registry tree will appear. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
4. Edit the value of MaxTokenSize to 0000ffff.
This is the maximum allowed size of the Kerberos Token.
