Intel® Processor Identification Utility

2011-01-23T00:25:00.000+02:00

The Intel® Processor Identification Utility was developed by Intel Corporation to identify characteristics of the processor inside a system.
In addition to displaying processor details, this tool provides a frequency test feature to determine if the processor is operating at the tested and rated speed marked on the processor.
The Intel Processor Identification Utility is consistently updated to support the latest processors developed by Intel. The supported processors page provides a complete list of processors currently supported by the tool. This page includes a table showing which processors are supported by this tool, and which processors are supported by the Intel® Processor Frequency ID Utility.
There are two versions of the utility available. The Windows* version of the utility can be used with systems that support the Windows operating system environment. The "Bootable" version of the utility does not require an operating system. By installing the tool on a bootable device (e.g. floppy drive) the tool is run as the system is booted, but before the operating system is loaded. This is normally done from a PC's floppy "A:" drive.

What Is Cloud Computing ?

2011-01-13T20:50:00.001+02:00

From Microsoft Course 10324A

Cloud computing is a new virtualization option that enables organizations to
purchase IT services from Internet-based service providers or to provide IT services
through the Internet. These services can include servers, storage, or networking
resources. The services may be running on virtual environments based on Hyper-V
or one of the other virtualization options. The actual server and storage
deployment is largely transparent to the users who consume the services. They
typically are concerned only with being able to access their required applications
easily.
A cloud computing environment normally includes:
• A data center that contains virtualization hosts and storage. In the Microsoft
solution, these hosts are running Hyper-V.
• Virtual servers, storage and network resources located in the data center.
• A highly available and high bandwidth network connection to the Internet.
Automated processes and tools for deploying and configuring virtual
machines. These processes may be managed entirely by the online service
provider, or may be exposed to the customer to manage their own virtual
environment.
• Tools for managing the interaction of local and cloud computing. Many
organizations still host most IT services locally even as they begin to move
some services to the cloud. You can use this integration tool to ensure that
users can gain seamless access to both local and cloud resources. For example,
most organizations will still run Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS)
locally. Ideally, users should be able to authenticate once to their local domain,
and gain access to all required services regardless of whether they are located
internally or in the cloud.

Benefits of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing provides several benefits for organizations:
• Flexible deployment options. The organization may host the data center that
provides cloud services or an external hosting provider, such as Microsoft or a
third party, may host it.
• Scalability. In a cloud-computing scenario, all service components are virtual,
which makes it very easy to scale up or down, as necessary. For example, if an
organization requires more resources, it can deploy additional virtual
machines in the data center. If the organization requires fewer resources, it can
save money by removing virtual machines or by reusing the physical resources
for another purpose.
• Potential for decreased cost. By purchasing online services from a hosting
provider, organizations often can implement services for a cost that is
significantly less than hosting the services locally.
• More reliable and effective services. Some services require constant monitoring
and specialized skills. By purchasing these services from an online service
provider, organizations can take advantage of the infrastructure and skills that
are available at the hosting provider, but which may be prohibitively expensive
for a small organization.

Using Restricted Groups

Author: Derek Melber

If you are a medium or large sized organization, you might have thousands of clients and hundreds of servers that you need to manage. Manually trying to manage all of the local groups on all of these computers is difficult, and almost impossible. Have no fear, Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are here! GPOs provide a mechanism that allows you to control the membership in local groups, and even domain groups, on any computer in the Active Directory enterprise. The specific configuration that you use for this task is the Restricted Groups GPO setting.

Wake On LAN (WOL)

2010-10-26T13:06:00.000+02:00

323551-B21 HP-Compaq 10/100 Nc3121 PCI Fast Ethernet Wake On Lan

Written by: Annoyances.org

Wake on LAN (WOL) is a standard that allows you to turn on a computer from another location over a network connection.

Why would you want to use WOL?

If sharing an internet connection, you might want to turn on the "host" computer from one of the clients.
If accessing your home PC from work, or your work PC from home, you might want to turn it on remotely to get to your files, and then shut it down when you're done.

Requirements:

You must have an ATX 2.01 (or above)-compliant power supply, and an ATX motherboard with a WOL connector.
You must have a WOL-compliant network card with a WOL connector. An example is the 3Com Fast Etherlink XL PCI 3C905B-TX, but not the 3Com Fast Etherlink XL PCI 3C905B-TX-NM (non-managed).
Compare the WOL pin descriptions for your network card and for your motherboard. The must be identical; otherwise, your motherboard or power supply may be damaged.
Your BIOS must support WOL, and the WOL option in your BIOS setup must be enabled. If you don't see a WOL option, check the manufacturer of your motherboard for an updated BIOS.
Your network card drivers must also support WOL; check with your network card manufacturer for the latest drivers.

Configuring your Network Card:
In order for WOL to work, your network card must go into "standby mode" when you power down your computer. If any of your network card's lights are still lit after you shut down, then it's configured properly, and you can skip the rest of this section. Othewise, if none of the lights remain lit after powering down, you'll need to do the following.

Double-click the Network icon in Control Panel, or right-click on your Network Neighborhood icon and select Properties.
Select your WOL-compliant network adapter from the list, click Properties, and choose the Advanced tab.
Highlight NDIS Driver Version, and change it's value to NDIS 4 (the default setting is Auto Select). If either the Advanced tab or the NDIS Driver Version setting are missing, then you'll need to obtain more up-to-date drivers from the manufacturer of your network card.
Also in the Advanced tab, change the settings for Wake on Link and Wake on Magic Packet accordingly, if they're there.
When you're done, click Ok, and then Ok again. Confirm that you want to restart Windows when asked.
After restarting, shut down and check the light again. If it still doesn't work, contact from the manufacturer of your network card for support.

Waking a Computer Remotely with WOL:
In order to wake a shut-down computer with WOL properly configured, you need a program that can send the proper packets over your network. The following programs do this:

LANDesk Client Manager, revision 3.10 or later, by Intel. This software comes with most WOL-compliant motherboards.
Magic Packet by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). This software is a free download from AMD.

More Information:

The website for the manufacturer of your motherboard (i.e. Supermicro, Asus, Intel, etc.) will probably have additional tips, troubleshooting, and updates necessary to use WOL on your system.
