  • The number of connections to this computer is limited

    Currently, I get an error stating that "the number of connevtions to this computer is limited and all connections are in use.". When I first watched this error, it says that it comes with SQL server by default no connections. I d/l had SQL but never really used, perhaps only open a couple of times, but he was. I just uninstall all SQL applications on my computer. I restarted and left no trace I can find of SQL, but I still get the same error.

    Maybe uninstall SQL has not changed this setting to the original, or maybe something else happens. I was hoping to get help or advice. Please let me know what you would say that I do.

    Thank you

  • For Microsoft basic mouse (USB) transmissions, are there no function ' point to a window and scroll it?

    I have the following functionality with Microsoft Basic optical mouse (USB) in Win7

    I have several windows open. I'll just move the mouse pointer to a single window and scroll with scroll wheel. Then, move the pointer to another window and scroll with scroll wheel. My old mouse under win XP was to have this feature.
    Now with Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse I can click ON a window and scroll the content, click ON another window and scroll the content. But the point and scrolling is more convenient. Does someone can tell how it is possible with Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse? Or this function is not available?
    I installed Microsoft Intellipoint 8.2 and use WIn7 Ultimate.

  • NAC: How to reduce the time of connection of client computers Windows in authentication VLAN

    / * Style definitions * / table. MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name: "Table Normal" "; mso-knew-rowband-size: 0; mso-knew-colband-size: 0; mso-style - noshow:yes; mso-style-priority: 99; mso-style - qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:" ";" mso-padding-alt: 0 to 5.4pt 0 to 5.4pt; mso-para-margin: 0; mso-para-margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; font-size: 11.0pt; font family: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-make: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-make: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-make: minor-latin ;}"}

    We need for the NAC Agent perform an assessment AD SSO and posture before login scripts or other processes run.  It is essential for us to delay the other process to run until after that NAC place client machines on the vlan access because these process would hang & fail while they are in the authentication vlan. One of the processes that hung & failed is the mapping of different network drives when the login scripts are executed.

    / * Style definitions * / table. MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name: "Table Normal" "; mso-knew-rowband-size: 0; mso-knew-colband-size: 0; mso-style - noshow:yes; mso-style-priority: 99; mso-style - qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:" ";" mso-padding-alt: 0 to 5.4pt 0 to 5.4pt; mso-para-margin: 0; mso-para-margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; font-size: 11.0pt; font family: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-make: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-make: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-make: minor-latin ;}"}

    We ran a script to test and discovered that the NAC Agent will not run until it fits into the task bar of the window that requires process execution window iExplorer.  However, the window iExplorer process also means the execution of many other processes that should not be executed (because they will hang & fail) until after NAC moves these client machines in the vlan access.

    I need to know if it is possible to run the NAC Agent w/o it inserting itself in the system tray.  If possible, how is it done?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    David,

    Currently is not possible. NAC agent runs as a program and must operate under user credentials to be able to identify the user properly underway that would be of NAC. In later versions, there is a component of the agent service, but the SSO feature is always based on the Agent is loaded correctly. Your option is to run a script of late (detailed here: http://tinyurl.com/25d2aua ) and once this passes, then call your other scripts that do the mapping.

    Also, if you experience excessive delays in the initial process of the SSO, ensure that you open all the ports that must be open, including the FRAGMENTS IP and ICMP for all your domain controllers in the unauthenticated role.
