How to remove Internet Explorer Enhanced security in SBS 2011

Submitted by Mike on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 18:04

As a general rule, I don't do much web surfing on a server, but sometimes you have applications that use features which are blocked. Most times you can just add them to the list of safe sites, but sometimes, that just doesn't work, or maybe you're working remotely, and the server is the only console is the only thing you have access to.

Anyway, disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security is pretty easy to do, if you know where it is.

HOW TO give the w32Time account permissions to the config key in registry editor

Submitted by Mike on Fri, 07/29/2011 - 19:27

One of my users was trying to change one of the DWORD values in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config

Unfortunately they were getting the good old “Access Denied” message. When I took a look at it, I realized the only user who had permission to edit the key was a user or account named W32TIME. It seemed pretty straight forward. So I went up one key, and copied the permissions down. Then I went in and added the W32Time account. Well, I tried to at least.

Find who has files open in Windows Server 2008

Submitted by Mike on Mon, 02/09/2009 - 12:56

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who has become accustomed to opening up Computer Management on a server, and looking in the shared folders in order to find out who has a file open. Well, that was Windows Server 2003. Now that we have Windows Server 2008, it’s just a little bit different.

Here’s how you do it.

In Server Manager, expand Roles, then expand File Services, and click on “Share and Storage Management”.

Server 2008: The Installer has insufficient Privileges to modify this file

Sometimes the easiest things can be so difficult. I was just trying to install a simple update package, "Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1" to be exact. The installer returns the error "The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\RelNotes.htm".

Documentation? What good is that?

Submitted by Mike on Mon, 11/17/2008 - 13:29

OldBooksGood documentation is really nice to have. I did a Server Migration, or transition this last Friday (the 14th). We went from Server 2003 to Server 2008, and now I'm realizing that my documentation was a little out of date.
