Cluster alias name issue
We have a two node cluster, this cluster has alias names. We are not able to access with alias name from one of the node. We are able to access from another node.$0 $0 CLuster name : MSC001$0 Alias names : abc and 123$0 node name: sevA and sevB$0 $0 when we try from node sevA accessing <mtps:InstrumentedLink NavigateUrl="file://\\abc" runat="server" xmlns:mtps="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/mtps">\\abc</mtps:InstrumentedLink> or <mtps:InstrumentedLink NavigateUrl="file://\\123" runat="server" xmlns:mtps="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/mtps">\\123</mtps:InstrumentedLink> we are getting "No network provider accepted the given path".$0 But able to access from node SevB.$0 $0 Found some below events in server$0 Event Type: Error$0 Event Source: Kerberos$0 Event Category: None$0 Event ID: 4$0 Date: 19-07-2011$0 Time: 08:56:44$0 User: N/A$0 Computer: SevB$0 Description:$0 The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/sevB. The target name used was MCS001. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (test.NET), and the client realm.

I need some information on NIC teaming
I need some information on NIC teaming$0 $0 -----$0 $0 NIC teaming allows you to group network adapter ports for a connection to a single physical segment. If connectivity through one port is not working, another port is activated automatically. This operation is transparent to the operating system and other devices on the network.$0 $0 There are network adapters and accompanying drivers available from many hardware manufacturers to provide fault tolerance. Support for the fault-tolerant technology (the hardware and the drivers) is provided by the hardware manufacturer. So, go to your NIC manufacturers site to get the drivers and software.$0 $0 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------$0 $0 Please, post future questions like one to the appropriate forum http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsserver$0 $0 -----

The expected signature of the disk was 0944CADC. If the disk was removed from the server cluster, the resource should be deleted. If the disk was replaced, the resource must be deleted and created again in order to bring the disk online. If the disk has not been removed or replaced, it may be inaccessible at this time because it is reserved by another server cluster node.<br /><br />Storage team - internally says : that they don't have anything to do with storage disks or so with DB team too. But still they investigates. But me from Windows engineer team quite clueless how this is happening all time.. Even we have performed a HP firmware chahis upgrade on both the nodes. Could anyone please guide me how may I get the cause and may be a preferable solution to it.<br /><br /><br /></p>

how to image add
We are pushing out a new PPT template where text slides start in paragraph mode instead of bullets for level one text. We still want to give users the option to assign bullets as needed, but there is an alignment issue when assigning bullets to level one text. The formatting of level one in the Master is set to "no indent" so that subsequent lines in that level will line up properly with the first line. A bullet requires a first line indent therefore if a user prefers a bullet for level one, it requires them to either modify level one of the master or on individual slides (NOT IDEAL) <br /><br /> If alignment is corrected in the master for level one in the event the user uses the bullet option, you will not have proper alignment for paragraph mode (no initial bullet). It appears you can't have it both ways in the master but interested to know if there is a way to allow for proper alignment without using multiple masters.<br /><br /> Any advice would be helpful.<br /><br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Please, post this question @ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/threads <br />
