Windows creates a file named hiberfil.sys in the root of the system drive for systems where hibernation is enabled. The hiberfil.sys file is always the same size as physical RAM. This can be a lot of wasted space particularly if you are not using hibernation (and on a server, who is ?). so, to disable it you need to open a command prompt and type the following: powercfg.exe /hibernate off more info (vista) > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920730 The commands to ENABLE hibernation are: powercfg.exe -h on powercfg.exe -hibernate on The commands to DISABLE hibernation are: powercfg.exe -h off powercfg.exe -hibernate o…

Hi all, I am wrestling with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and would like to set it up to be a DHCPv6 (IPv6) server to dynamically route IPv6 addresses to IPv6-capable clients (e.g., Vista, XPSP2). Now I can get DHCP (IPv4) to install and work just fine, but when it comes to setting up DHCPv6 on the server none of my clients are getting an address. Is there a separate "piece" I need to do/add-on in DHCPv6 (IPv6) that I don't have to do with DHCP (IPv4) which just works as expected? I've tried both stateless and stateless modes, but to no avail. Thanks, Craig

in order to get Visual Studio working (for SQL 2005 Sp2) you need to download the following update from Microsoft Once downloaded, extract the file by running VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe. You'll be prompted if you want to upgrade Visual Studio 2005 to Sp1, you'll have to accept the EULA then the process will start... and after a while it'll all be done !

as you may or may not know, Windows 2008 Server doesn't support Windows Live Messenger, in fact, when you try to install it you'll get the following error why ? I don't know, however after some searching I found the following download (MSI package) which DOES work in Windows 2008 Server. so here you go, download the MSI file of Windows Live Messenger v8.5.1302.1018 here, it's a silent install so once you run it, it will install Messenger Live silently (no questions asked during the install process). Please Digg this so others will know the fix cheers anyweb
