A client has Windows Server 2016 Essentials. He installed 128 GB RAM in his server. But Windows reports that it uses only 64 GB even if it sees the whole 128 GB installed
Why? What can be done to use the whole RAM available?
I have a AWS VM used as web server with IIS.
Recently I noticed the following error that fills up the Application windows log. The log message is added to Application log every few seconds, and out of the 81000+ log entries, more then 95% is this message.
The message is:
The loghttp module in the worker process with id 'n' could not obtain custom log data for 'm' requests. The data field contains the error code.
The worker process ID corresponds with the PID of AppPool worker process for the website The EventID is always 2308, and the event XML data is as below
<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">

I did searched the web but I could not find anything with a similar error message.
Any idea where is this coming from, what is its cause and any workaround?
Thank you
I just find out today about this issue, and I have the following question:
If we disable SSL3 in IIS as described in On IIS, how do I patch the SSL 3.0 POODLE vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566)?, what will happen with the sites using SSL (through https)?
I have the following situation, and I need some help to setup properly
I have two VPS (hosted with the same provider, maximumasp). Server A is 2008R2, set with WORKGROUP, and server B is 2012, set with domain, maximumasp.local.
On server A I have an old web app, which uses a special folder, c:\MyUploads, to store uploaded files. App is using this using an appSetting. It will be kept running for a while for safety / compatibility reasons.
I installed a new version of the application on server B, running under AppPoolIdentity. Both instances of the app (A and B) will connect to the same database, so I need them to share also the access to upload folder c:\MyUploads.
How should I setup the app on machine B to access the folder c:\MyUploads ? My idea is to share the folder as \A\MyUploads, and then map it to server B. But the problem is, I don't know to give Read/write to c:\MyUploads on machine A to IIS AppPools\ on machine B
I was trying a test, and shared the c:\MyUploads to Everyone, ReadWrite. I was able to access it from machine B using \\MyUploads But when app from machine B tried to access a file, it gave error.
Any idea how can I accomplish this? Some advice on best practices for such situation would be great.
Thank you
I am developing an application that creates Windows event logs and writes to them.
However, during development and testing, I created some event logs by mistake, with sources registered to them.
The issue is that only the first 8 characters of the event log name are significant. Now that I have logs with incorrect names, I cannot create the new logs that I need.
Is there any way to totally remove these event logs (and not just clear them)?
I have tried to delete the file C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\WrongNamedEventLog.evtx, but with no success.
I have the following problem: I need to create a test Win Server 2008 R2 as Virtual machine, and set active directory on it. Never did this before, so I just experimenting. The problem is, after I installed the server, then I set is as domain controller using the wizard, but I messed something and now I cannot login to my server anymore (it is already set as domain controller). The local password is not recognized when I try to login. I want to revert to before installing domain cont which rol role, I was able to boot in recovery console, but there I have only System Restore from image file (and I don't havce image file) and comand prompt Does anyone knows how can I uninstall domain controller role (and eventually DNS server role, which was installed at the same time) using command prompt, so I can login with my local password? Or maybe a way to reset domain password so I can login in my server normally?
Thank you
(hope I was clear enough, I'm not sysadmin, just developer and I need to install / config this to have access to a test machine with AD)
