tar for NT Tape Drives
Message #167346
Does anyone have a tar utility that works on NT tape drives? I have gtar, available over in Win32 SDK (I ftp'd mine), but it appears to have no way to access the Tape device (I have an Archive QIC150). In the registry, the archive entry has a Device Name…
Nigel, I've enclosed a Windows NT Knowledge Base article which explains how to do this. Tom O. [ms] ———— You can change the default background bitmap used at the Windows NT logon screen by modifying a value in the Registry. To do so, use the following procedure: WARNING: Registry Editor…
WinNT 'tar'?
Message #167258
I'm looking for an implementation of 'tar' for the system tape device under WinNT. Has anyone seen such a thing? I use my Exabyte as a backup unit with the system Backup program, but I'd love to access other Unix tar tapes I have under WinNT. Read action !
#Startup Bitmap
Message #167240
Does anyone know how to change the bitmap NT displays when it puts up the Logon Dialogue. The system seems to use WINNT.BMP in the SYSTEM32 directory and replacing this changes the bitmap, but it seems that there should be a registry entry for this. Nigel Longton via Mikes account.…

We do not support it. Regards, Brent G. [MS] —————————————————————————– — Do either the NT FTP Client or Server support restart? (This becomes important when the ftp of a 10MB patch file (ahem) gets punted @4MB. We tried to restart via the NT ftp client and an AT&T ftp client,…

RemoteStart an NT Srvice
Message #166789
Thanks for the reply. I need to remote-start programatically, i.e. in code in an app that I am writing, but I will take a look at netsvc.exe and see what I can learn from it. KM Read action !
#UPS Service won't Start
Message #166763
John, I have noticed the same problem. However from what I've been able to tell it's not an MS problem. rather it is an APC problem. You probably noticed that the red low battery light is on when the UPS comes back on line. An unfortunately it seems that the…

Inbound 'rcp'
Message #160304
If you need "rcp" into NT box and are willing to forego a little in security (file ownership issues), you can run WinQVT/Net for WinSock and activate it's "rcp server". i do this and rcp into NT from my Unix boxes all the time. Yes, it's a kludge, but it's…

Inbound 'rcp'
Message #159704
Why would you think that it could? Try using FTP (we have an installable FTP SERVER SERVICE, none for rcp) instead of RCP. Regards, Brent G. [MS] —————————————————————————– — Why doesn't WinNT accept 'rcp' requests? Read action !re 159704ply Enter reply. (/EXIT when done) 1: Yes, I do use 'ftp'.…

BOOT.INI, boot mgr info
Message #138533
I, too, thought I could add Linux to the BOOT.INI file. After many variations on the path to the Linux partition (including DOS path format, the RISC (or whatever it is) format that NT uses, and the /dev/hdb2 type of format used by Linux), I gave up. Apparently: 1. The…

You must be able to save the oter operating systems bootsector to the bootsect.dos The path to each Windows NT installation is described in the BOOT.INI file using conventions that are…

Avoid NT Boot loader?
Message #133609
This isn't exactly what you're looking for but it might help. Both the 30 second delay and the selection of Windows NT are defaults. Those settings can be changed from the Control Panel – System Panel.

have you tried to slow down transfers across the bus. turn off sync and lower tansfer rate to 5 meg or so. any difference? There is 1 Reply. Read action !

don't know what to say. I have a maxtor 1240S and it works very well. likewise I am using a 1542cf without trouble. You have sync, parity and all set for the drive? one thing is possible, if you have a mixed bus, there can be conflcits of I/O time…

wehn you state that NT runs slowly, do you have more than 16 megs of ram of system? The error you see in event log is probably an error 11. Both the 1542C and the maxtor 1240S work fine in NT. There is 1 Reply. Read action !
