There are only 2 users allowed for administration so occasionally both are used up and you can’t access the server.  This may happen if two people are legitimately using the servers or if someone forgot to log off.

You would think this would be as easy as connecting to the remote server by adding the Terminal Services Manager snap-in to a MMC console or remotely stopping and starting the service (in a pinch).  Strangely, these obvious solutions aren’t available.  Terminal Services Manager doesn’t exist as a snap-in to connect to a remote machine and because the TermService service is a core system service, you can’t even stop it on the local machine, let alone a remote one.

Fortunately there is an easy solution.  Windows 2000+  (includes Windows XP and 2003) have two command-line tools called qwinsta and rwinsta that can query and reset a remote session.

Gizmodo has an exclusive video and feature of one of the most heavily guarded secrets in Lego: the security vault where they store all the Lego sets ever created, new in their boxes. 4,720 sets from 1953 to 2008. Really amazing stuff and a trip down memory lane to every person who has played with the magic bricks. All combined, the collection must be worth millions, not only because of the collector value, but also because Lego uses it as a safeguard in copyright and patent cases.

Robocopy GUI also extends the functionality of the existing Robocopy tool in some very interesting ways. For example, this tool is multithreaded, allowing you to create a Robocopy script, execute it, and begin creating another one while your first script is still running. It also allows you to save your scripts (even if you don’t actually execute them) so that you can create a library of common scripts or share them with your colleagues. And most importantly, Robocopy GUI allows you to save your default settings so you don’t have to start from scratch every time.

I am sure many of you have had a drive, especially a very large one, that you did not want to have chkdsk run on when restarting a server. If so you can use the command below to disable it from occurring at boot up on a per drive basis.

chkntfs /x c: (where c: is you can replace with the drive you want to exclude from checking)
