Question about activation.

I am running an activated version of Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit.  I have improved my memory and I would like to install the 64-bit version.  My question before re-formatting, will I have hedges by installing the 64-bit operating system of the same version of Windows that I purchased on my system now.  I understand when you but the retail version you can install a version of 32 or 64-bit.  If you install one that means you can't install and activate a if you need to install it later?  Please respond so I can go ahead with the installation of the 64-bit ASAP...

  • MaxPageSize problem/Question about Active Directory in my organization.

    Hello guys, I'm having a weird problem with Active Directory in my organization.

    Long story short:

    In my environment, the MaxPageSize value is the default value (1000), and MaxValRange also has by default (1500).

    However, in the Exchange Event Viewer, I see the existing event several times below:

    A ldap directory SRV1 Server search results. DOMAIN.COM has exceeded the administrative limit. Only the first 100 entries have been returned successfully by the search request.

    My question is: If the MaxPageSize controls the number of objects returned in a single search result, and it is currently set at 1000, why Exchange sees only the first 100 entries of each search?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance :-)

  • Question about activation of Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hi all

    I've recently updated the OS on my computer laptop from Home Premium (Windows 7) supplied with the computer (I have activated the product) to ultimate (Windows 7) using an upgrade key.  Now when I turn on my computer it says 3 days until automatic activation or activate now.  I clicked activate now, but I apparently don't have the right key.  I tried the upgrade button, but I was told that it cannot be used to activate the operating system.  I also tried my original laptop computer product key but I was told that it will not now work with my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.  I don't know what I can do.  What will happen in 3 days?  Can someone tell me if I have anything to worry about and what I can do to solve?  Thanks in advance!

    -Looks

    Strange, strange.

    First of all, where did you get your Windows 7 Ultimate license?

    Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade came with a product key?

    What type of upgrade, you did do, was an Express upgrade or did you do a custom clean install?

    This is probably why you are experiencing the problem.

    Try to update the product key and then again by phone:

    Hello;

    Active Data Guard is a database of "Reader". I don't think there is a process that turns automatically off of load to it.

    If its great for reporting etc.

    Another option Active Data Guard, is that it allows fast incremental backups RMAN on the Active Data Guard physical standby.
    It is another potential way of unloading of a treatment of the database of the database pending production.

  • Questions about the implementation of clusters of storage and DTS on active cluster

    I have a few questions about the implementation of clusters of data store and SRS storage in VSphere 5.1.

    We have a data center with about 15 HP blades and a few servers non-lame.  The hosts are all either VSphere 5.0 or 5.1.  Our back-end storage is an EMC VNX 5700 with about 20 stores of data.  All the VMWare is managed by VCenter 5.1 running on a dedicated physical machine.

    Currently, each data store is used individually; No piles of data store are put in place.  When a new virtual machine is created, the administrator usually chooses the data with the most space store.  Periodically, we will go back and manually storage vMotion machines to balance the load.

    Recently, we have expanded the VNX storage, so we now have LUNS in different pools, with different levels of performance.

    What I would do is set up for the data store clusters, so that us when a virtual machine is created, the administrator must not know what data store is in which pool.  Also take advantage of the DRS storage so that the burden of storage will be "refine" himself a little.

    I know the setting up of a cluster of storage in a 'clean' environment is quite simple, but my concern is creation/conversion data warehouses existing in active production in the cluster, while they are used.

    If I access the screen "data warehouses and store data from clusters ', right-click on the data center and create a cluster, and then move the various data stores in the new cluster, will there be an interruption in the production running systems?

    I also wonder about activation of storage i/o control.  It is not currently enabled on data warehouses.  I know it's useful for the StorageDRS, but will be allowing any negative impact on the system?  If I turn on the warehouses of data, is there anything else I should do or set in addition to all that allows him?

    Finally, we are in the process of Site Recovery Manager configuration.  SRS has an impact on the configuration of the data clusters and DTS store?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Clusters of data and using DTS store doesn't impact RS even if you create a cluster of data store for storage of replicated data and another for everyone else, this way you machines virtual you want to replicate are not moved on warehouses of data that are not replicated , but will still have the ability to move if there is a conflict.

    Gregg

    With all due respect but SRM and DTS don't go together. SRM does not at all support the use of DTS. So if you are configuring SRM forget DTS for now.

    Reason for this is that SRM knows no DTS and VMs can be in flight when a failover should occur, and bad things can happen. Also, the protection breaks when a virtual computer is moved between data warehouses in a cluster data store.

    In short: don't go there.

    I bought a Dell installation disk and I want to use it to install a better version of Windows on my Dell PC. I have windows Vista and I want to use it to update my OS Windows7 Home Premium. However, the license type is SLP:OEM and no detail... not sure what SLP: OEM means... I thought that the OS discs are the same. Someone told me no retail editions are not suitable for a new OS, but I'm confused. The disc says, Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, but didn't holograms who have all MS OS disks and the disk is labeled for use with a Dell system only, if the means it will work very well on my Dell PC? The label does not which brand or model this disc is for, but said only for the Dell PC which is my PC. I'm assuming, the disk won't work on all Dells, maybe someone can offer suggestions, any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

  • Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

    I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
    Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
    And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
    What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

    My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
    I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
    He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

    This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
    I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
    But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

    This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

    Tom

    The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
    If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
    If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

    CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
    You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

  • question about the mixture of OSes

    I have a question about installing a dual boot.

    Someone recently bought a copy of Windows 7, but they had the wrong version. They got the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit and for some reason the store refuses to return or Exchange it.
    They offer it to me that they have to buy the 64-bit version.

    I'm not sure if I need it, but I thought I could try on my laptop. I just realized that I type that they never told me what version of Windows 7 it is.

    This laptop was given to me second hand. It came with Vista Home Premium. I installed XP on another partition, and was so pleased with the results that I've never bothered to fix the Vista partition to get the job to dual-boot.

    If this proves to be Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Ultimate edition, am I having difficulties to the upgrade of the Vista partition? I guess I could install it from scratch, but I'm not sure if all the drivers are available.
    Can I try the drivers Vista 7 the way you sometimes try 2000 drivers under XP?

    As you can see, I have several issues of concern. 7 same detects the installation of Vista and make an update if I don't fix it so that the Vista bootloader is present? The XP installation program has replaced the Vista bootloader, and I've never bothered to fix it.

    Finally, is there another recourse that the store for my friend Exchange 7 32-bit 64-bit 7 to save money?

    Looks like somebody bought an OEM of Windows 7 version from a "commercial" version comes with a 64-bit and 32-bit installation DVD.  If someone has already installed and active that the OEM 32-bit version, then, unfortunately, this license cannot be used on another computer since the OEM licenses are permanently tied to the first computer it's installed and activated on.

  • Technical questions about X 1 carbon Touch base

    Please forgive me, I'm still recovering after the shock and frustration generated by dealing with Lenovo Tech Support.

    I recently received my X 1 carbon Touch and I have tried to understand some - I think - fundamental questions.

    As you know, to win 8, Lenovo doesn't have a custom recovery solution / owner. However, there are a score of Lenovo recovery on the machine. I'm /assuming/ this, somehow, can be used through the default / built-in mechanisms of recovery Windows, but I want to know exactly how without necessarily experiencing myself with it.

    In addition, the computer seems to be equipped with a mechanism of alternative stand-by, fast recovery called Intel or something like that. It is enabled in the BIOS and apparently makes use of a hidden partition of ~ 8 GB on the SSD. However, I find no indication of this mechanism working. There are no settings that I could find in Windows. I changed the BIOS to 'Immediately' setting in order to test the functionality, but put the computer to sleep does not seem to generate behavior that is somehow different from regular sleep.

    In any case, I would like advice or information on my questions above. I understand works the thing of recovery fast in order to decide if I want to recover the partition or not. I would also like to know my options I should never need re - install the delivered factory OS without actually crossed the steps. I would also if someone could tell me the best way to get support from Lenovo.

    / * I called Lenovo technical support with these issues. The person sponsor and those to whom I then was sent to had no idea what I was talking about. They had difficulty understanding terms like partition, standby, sleep, resume, and even software/hardware and implementation. It was suggested that my computer may be Intel and Lenovo not... They seemed to really come from an age of the computer. I asked to speak with someone who would have some basics of the machine that Lenovo delivered to me. I find it reasonable. At that time, I was told to talk to a knowledgeable person, I have to pay a fee. Seriously?

    elfstone,

    To find out how to work the various Windows recovery methods, please see this Microsoft Web site:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-PC

    The sole purpose of the recovery partition is to work with the "All delete and reinstall Windows" function of Windows 8.  If you have specific questions about the factory recovery that you can't get items from Microsoft, let me know.

    Regarding the plan of hibernation from Intel, as you noted, it takes a partition dedicated to your SSD which cannot be used for other purposes.  The only parameter in Windows is inside the application of arrangements of Lenovo in the power section.  Lenovo calls this function "in waiting for 30 days.  The only thing you can do is it turn on or off.  Here's how works "waiting for 30 days:

    1. When you close the lid, or otherwise put the system into standby mode, the system of standby for 3 hours.

    03:02 hours, the system will wake up and check things like not attached AC, wake-on-LAN not activated, USB device not attached, etc..  If conditions permit, the system will enter wakefulness of 30 days for example deep sleep.  If the system returns in normal mode to 'sleep'.

    3. deep sleep means that the content of the memory is written on the special hibernation on the SSD partition.  It is very similar to the traditional hibernation except what happens faster using methods of BIOS instead of Windows methods.  But this isn't anywhere near as fast as normal sleep/recovery.

    4. the system out of deep sleep when the cover is opened or when you press the power button.

    You have found the BIOS settings, but in fact they are ignored when Lenovo settings (and package of dependence of the Lenovo parameters) are installed on the system.  I don't really know why this design choice has been made.

    Personally, I don't see value in 30 days standby, not enough value to want to give up my expensive SSD 8 GB.  I exclusively use sleep/recovery.  The battery will last several days.  And if I'm going to be away from the computer for a long time, then I'll just stop it.

Maybe you are looking for
