Hello,

We have a .Net application currently being hosted on win 2003 servers. As a migration activity we are planning to move/upgrade the application
to win 2012 servers. the Existing legacy application has COM+ Components since we are moving to new framework we are trying to find appropriate way
how we can handle this COM+ Components to new .NET framework and win OS.

QQ: Can we convert the COM+ to Active X and then deploy on the new env. Will this work and if yes . then can somebody share with me
the details as how to do this migration activity.

I have, what I guess, is a noisy motherboard, but I am wondering if there is any way around it.  I use the machine to stream to Facebook and the audio that comes in is really noisy.  We have tested the cables and they work fine with other machines.  I have the same problem with noisy audio whether I use the built-in 1/8 inch ports, Blackmagic card, or a Sound Blaster USB 1/8 inch adapter.  I, however, do not have the noise problem if I use the USB cable coming off the sound board (at one point I thought this meant the problem was with analog versus digital sound, which is why I purchased the Sound Blaster USB, figuring that the USB would convert the sound from analog to digital).

Anyone know of a mini pc that has an IPMI interface?

Alternatively would like to find a usb based IPMI dongle(if such a thing exists).

The reason for this is that I have some client sites where I want to place a headless system for admin maintenance.  

Space is a premium and staff a non technical so the ability to get to the system when there is some sort of OS failure(hopefully never) would be ideal.

I know this is readily available on servers but in this environment there will be no servers.

The purpose will be to ssh to devices for management if and when needed.

Hi Guys,

We have Avast Business AV on our smart-host mail server.
Avast detected previous viruses passing through in mail messages.

However, today, Symantec (which is our network scanner) pick up a risk for:  ISB.Downloader!gen131

It passed by Avast without being detected.
Anti-spam as well as Mail Shield components are currently running in Avast.

Any ideas will be appreciated,

Need help with a purchase 3D Printer. Price range for me no lower than $229.00 (seems like anything lower is a fire  electrical hazzard)  no highter than around $399.00 my budget.
This is going to be a long series of questions that hopefully will be simple to answer and may help others with their purchases.

The items in Question are linked on Amazon here as either a Comgrow (or SainSmart x or Foxnova) Ender-3X Creality 3D Printer. See the attached file on these if you want to forgo the links.

One of those as a single choice VS the 2018 Tevo Tornado.

So Tevo Tornado vs some version of the Ender-3X Creality 3D Printer.
Things I am trying to accomplish with 3D Printers:
  1. Create prototypes of objects and models of ideas I have.
  2. Create mold forms to pour other materials into and mold with?
  3. Purchase 3D objects on the web and print them.

Things I do not know or want to know about 3D Printers components filaments etc.
  1. Nozzles/Tips - Do the units come with a variety of sized nozzles or do I need to buy them in order to used them with either of these units? can you put any nozzle size on any of these units or do each printer have a range of nozzles they can use? Or can I buy almost any size. The Comgrow Creality Ender has a deal with nozzles (5 are included)?
  2. Can things like filament sizes be adapted like if the unit says it handles 1.75 mm. Can it be updated to include 3.0 mm? Does that mean I need a different type of extruder or bigger nozzle?

How can the changing cord could be fast or slow charge?   I understand the charger but the cord itself...  There;s no components to it.
This one for example:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0767CYH4W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is it a fast or slow charge?

I have this customer that is running windows 10 (See Specs in the upload) about twice a day it will just freezes up.  This customer is raising fresh water catfish and he is using this computer to monitor the oxygen level and water temperature in the ponds.  
I tried to find the Memory.DMP file but couldn't find it even though the settings on the computer are set to save the dump file in the %SystemRoot% folder.  
The customer brought the computer to my shop this morning and I have been running with his monitoring system going and youtube videos playing (for about 3 hours now, and the system has been running perfect.  
I built this unit for this customer right at a year ago and it has worked fine up until now.  Here are the components I used in the machine:

I think my motherboard failed. It just shut off and then it smelled bad as melted plastics. I thought is from the power supply connector, the yellow female jack in the back of the laptop, so I took it apart, dissembling totally, piece by piece.
I cleaned up everything, especially the fan full of dust, using air pressure jets and also dedicated spray for electronic components, PCB.
The components on the motherboard are covered with a black sheet of plastic/vinyl-like.
After cleaning I spotted 2 capacitors carbonized – most probably the cause of the smell and failure.
They are SMD ceramic capacitors, seem size 1206, most probably MLCC.
I have the tools to remove and replace them, but I do not know their value.
Can someone help with the values of these capacitors?
I have in mind persons that either had similar experience and repaired motherboards before, maybe particular for Lenovo T410s – by chance, or if you can find somewhere the PCB sketch with the bill of materials and or/schematic.
What cause that failure? Is it the only one?
I do not know, but I would like to try to replaces those 2 capacitors. On opposite side of the PCB everything is clean, the components are untouched by the temperature.
I presume the failure comes from the small WiFi board inserted in the nearby connector. Maybe has to be replaced with another one. What I remember is that I let for few days the laptop set with power on, even when the lid was closed, and was not always on the table, but also …

Hi
I have a Windows Deployment server with windows 10 image which works fine. Now I am trying to implement an answer file ( doing it with WindowsSystem Image manager) but keep getting prompt for language and locale although it is set in answer file. I have tried setting it in "1 windows PE" , "4 specialize" and "7 oobeSystem" components - still getting that prompt.
I have read on few websites that login info should be set and I have tried that (set it in "7 oobeSystem" component  ) - no luck, still getting language and location selection prompt.
Here is my answer file:

Note: this is a follow-up to another thread posted yesterday and located here:

        Identify desktop PC ports

Hello,

Yesterday I posted images of the front of my computer and shown below are images of the back. If someone could identify the ports labeled by letters (and numbers), as well as which of them can be replaced individually if faulty, I'd appreciate it.

By the way, the panel near the top (labeled x in the first screenshot) appears to be removable. What type of component is that designed for?

Also, I've always been curious about the multiple different-shaped (but mostly rectangle) openings in the video card (see 3rd image). Do they have some purpose?

Thanks

Hello,

Can someone help me identify the types of ports shown in the next few screenshots?

I apologize that the images are so blurry but hopefully with the zoomed-in shots each port (with its icon) will be recognizable to a person familiar with the hardware. If possible, I'm also curious to know which, if any, of the ports can be easily replaced if faulty (ie are any of them built into the tower?). The last image is of the side of the tower in case that's helpful. (I'm sure it's obvious that label g is for the DVD drive and needs no comment.)

Thanks a bunch!

Does anyone know of any places to buy a "0.5m SFF-8484 to SFF-8482 x 4 Fanout SAS Cable" where it doesn't cost as much as it costs here:

 https://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/I3229-05M.asp

This cable must have the Molex power adapters.

Are there any adapters I can purchase that will allow me to connect the front USB connector plug on a "CORSAIR VENGEANCE C70 Mid-Tower Case - Black" computer case to an Intel S2600cp server board?

The plug for connecting the two front USB connectors on this case is different than the connector on the Intel S2600cp server board.

I have attaches pictures below of both the plug for this case as well as the connector on the server board where the front USB connectors should plugin. I have also attached the S2600cp server board manual and the S2600cp server board tech specs guide.

The URL from where I purchased the case from is here.

Please let me know if there are any adapters or converters I can buy that will allow me to connect these two front USB connector cable to this server board.

I would like to know what's the best way to develop a component that users will be able to place on their form within the Designer, and be able to define properties/events in the designer.  If anyone can give me some pointers, i would appreciate.  (Please, don't post me a 200 pages manuals from Microsoft web site).

I developped a component years ago, and i've upgraded from VS2010 to VS2017 Community and the upgrade really screwed up the project.  I get tons of "Invalid Resx File".  It's like the project upgrade went bad and it's unable to deserialize the component values (event if the components properties are visibles within the designer.  For example, this component has a grid and in the designer, we can see the grid columns collection and everything seems to be fine, but the compiler still doesn't like it.

I've read that it might be caused of the mimetype used for the serialization.  So i would like to know what would any developer would do to avoid this kind of problem.

Here's a sample of a grid column within the .resx file
  <data name="gridCustomers.Columns1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">

Exactly which two pins on an Intel S2600cp server board need to be connected to the power switch on the case?

The case I have several Intel S2600cp server boards installed in has a two connector wire connecting the power switch on the front of the case.

I'm trying to figure out which two pins on the server board these connectors need to be plugged into so that I can use the power switch on the front of the case to power the server board on and off.

Which two pins on the server board are for the power switch?

Attached are the manuals and specs guide for the Intel S2600cp server board.

Can anyone recommend a non-APC model of UPS.  Specs should be similar to this:
http://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/products/APC-Smart-UPS-SRT-5000VA-with-208-240V-to-120V-Step-Down-Transformer/P-SRT5KXLT-5KTF?isCurrentSite=true#

The dimension I need so its not sticking out so much.  Taller and wider OK.
I'm not familiar with non-APC brands.  Hence asking.  
Thanks in advance.

I own a Dell 5810 Tower Workstation. It does not have bluetooth. Can anyone suggest from personal experience the hardware item I would need to give this machine bluetooth capability? I would prefer an item that is available from Amazon. I have free slots in the machine and naturally free USB slots available.
