How do you change the settings on a windows server 2008 so that the login screen for remote desktop doesn't show any user names? I want to revert back to the old 2003 screen as this prompts for both a username and password. The new screen seems insecure to me as it gives anyone that might try and compromise the server valid login names.
You should be able to configure this option using the security policy editor:
Log onto the server in question.
From the Start Menu, launch secpol.msc.
If you get a security warning, continue.
In the left pane, navigate to "Local Policies" and under that, "Security Options".
In the right pane, find "Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name" and enable it.
Log off.

When I first launched Bixby Developer Studio, it greeted me with a startup screen with a Login button. I clicked on it and it opened a login page in my browser. I logged in that page using my Samsung developer account. The login was successful and a pop-up appeared asking me if I will allow the page to launch Developer Studio (which was already open at that point). I allowed it, but nothing happened; Developer Studio was still showing the startup screen.
I restarted the application but it again showed me that startup screen with the login button. If I click on the login button, it will just take me again to the login page in the browser. And then nothing would happen if I login again.
I'd suggest verifying if your browser is configured to accept cookies. If that information is verified and the problem still exists, there might be additional information in the ide.log file that can provide more insight
To get that information, follow these steps:
Note the time when you begin the next steps.
Go through the login process until you hit the point of failure.
From the IDE menu, click on Help -> Create Diagnostics Report. This
will popup a dialog that will point you to the location of the
diagnostics report, by default this location is
C:\Users\'User'\bixby-workspace\
Unzip the diagnostics report and look at the ide.log file for any
errors at the time of login.
Feel free to post the errors here or if you prefer, you can open a ticket with Bixby Support too.
There are a couple of points you could work on here -
In this case, I suggest you to keep the browser open in the background while clicking on the login button. I was facing the same issue and somehow it worked for me like this. This has been an issue on a Windows machine. On a Mac this problem is not faced till now.
You could restart the Bixby studio itself for logging in again.
Also, I suggest removing the browser cookies as told by shahnawaz above.
Do let us know if this still persists !
Thank you all for your suggestions. For some reason, it just started working right after I received dozens of Windows updates (it's been a few days since I logged in to my Windows account as I have been using Linux; I rarely use my Windows account now and I wish Bixby Studio was available in Linux too). So, I actually haven't tried any of your suggestions yet. Thanks again, anyways!
I use Weblogic 12.1.3, when logged to admin server I see a tab with label "WLDF Console Extension" when choosing it, I get this message
"The WLDF Console Extension, which provided visual tools to display diagnostic information in this domain, has been replaced in this release by new integrated Monitoring Dashboard and Request Performance tools. For more information on these updates, please consult the online help and release notes for this release..."
How to hide this uselss tab, I have another installtion at work with the same version does not have this tab.
In general the WLDF extension is not installed by default so someone must have put it there and/or turned it on. To remove it there are 2 options:
Navigate to <domain dir>/console-ext and remove the diagnostics-console-extension.jar file. Restart your admin server.
Click the perferences link at the top of the admin console, click the Extensions tab, find the diagnostics-console-extension and disable it
If you ever need it back you can re-enable it or copy it back into your domain directory from the WL_HOME\server\lib\console-ext folder
I am trying to install Xampp win32-1.8.2 on Windows 8.1. I get a message saying" Because an activated user account User Account on your system some functions of XAMPP are possibly restricted." I've tried to change the user account control settings but still the warning is there. And the APACHE does not start. I've also disabled my IIS but still, its not working. What should I do? Thanks.
There are two things you need to check:
Ensure that your user account has administrator privilege.
Disable UAC (User Account Control) as it restricts certain administrative function needed to run a web server.
To ensure that your user account has administrator privilege, run lusrmgr.msc from the Windows Start > Run menu to bring up the Local Users and Groups Windows. Double-click on your user account that appears under Users, and verifies that it is a member of Administrators.
To disable UAC (as an administrator), from Control Panel:
Type UAC in the search field in the upper right corner.
Click Change User Account Control settings in the search results.
Drag the slider down to Never notifyand click OK.
open up the User Accounts window from Control Panel. Click on the Turn User Account Control on or off option, and un-check the checkbox.
Alternately, if you don't want to disable UAC, you will have to install XAMPP in a different folder, outside of C:\Program Files (x86), such as C:\xampp.
You can solve the issue by
Ignore the warning and Install XAMPP directly under C:/ folder. It will solve your issue
You can deactivate the UAC which i don't recommend. It's makes your PC less secure.
As ivan.sim writes in his answer
Ensure that your user account has administrator privilege.
Disable UAC(User Account Control) as it restricts certain administrative function needed to run a web server.
Install in C://xampp.
Problem with the correct answer is in the explanation of point 2., and magicandre1981 writes more about it
Moving the slider down doesn't completely disable UAC since Windows 8.
This is changed compared to Windows 7, because the new Store apps
require an active UAC. With UAC off, they no longer run.
How can we then disable UAC and install XAMPP?
Easy. Go to Registry Editor and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Right click EnableLUA and modify the Value data to 0.
Then restart your computer and you're ready to install XAMPP.
To disable UAC (as an administrator), from Control Panel:
Type UAC in the search button in your windows the upper right corner.
Click the (Change User Account Control settings) in the search results.
Drag the slider down and select Never notify and click OK.it will work.
There's nothing to be worried upon for this. Like other servers, install xampp somewhere outside of the default Program Files folder of Windows. It shall work fine.
I previously had wamp server installed on my machine and i never understood why wamp server installs itself outside of the default directory. Xampp cleared this, now i have both the servers lying outside the Program Files folder and are running fine.
I don't know if you are still having this problem, but I had the same problem and had a different fix than what was listed in the other answer. I did install XAMPP under C:\xampp\, and my user is an admin, but there was also something else.
I had to manually go give my user full access to the C:\Users\XAMPP\ directory. By default (at least on my machine) Windows did not give my admin user rights to this new user's directory, but this is where XAMPP stores all of it's config files. Once I gave myself full access to this, everything worked perfectly.
Hope this helps!
UPDATE!
In retrospect, I think that I must have accidentally typed in "C:\Users\XAMPP\" as the install folder during the installation process. So I think the most important thing is to make sure that the user you are actually signed into Windows as when you start XAMPP has full access to the folder that it was actually installed to.
I have faced the same issue when I tried to install xampp on windows 8.1. The problem in my system was there was no password for the current logged in user account. After creating the password then I tried to install xampp. It installed without any issue. Hope it helps someone in the feature.
You can solve this problem by installing xampp in different Drive .Instead of C Drive .
Run win+R and type msconfig
Then at tools box launch UAC
Then set it on the lowest level
Then press ok and continue your setup

I have an asp.net 2.0 application running on IIS 6.0. I am using Integrated Windows Authentication. Some users have two network accounts, a personal account and an administrative account. The problem I am facing is that sometimes when they are logged in on the client side using their personal accounts, the logged in user appears at the server side as the admin account. I am retrieving the logged in user network id using System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.
I suspect that their admin credentials are being cached somewhere and passed instead.
I had exactly this same problem. The web site was seeing me authenticate as my admin account even though I was logged in as my personal account.
It turns out that in Windows you can associate specific user names and passwords with particular sites. Once that is done, the integrated authentication through IE (and Chrome!) always uses those credentials. And, to make things easy, there is no obvious way to get to those settings through Internet Explorer's settings or options.
To fix your issue on Windows XP:
Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, User Accounts.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click Manage Passwords.
Find the entry in the list the corresponds to the site(s) where you're seeing this behavior. Remove it.
Credit where credit is due: This answer was taken almost word-for-word from an unnamed "Junior Member" at ObjectMix.
For Windows 7, use "Control Panel/Credential Manager" (also available via "Control Panel/User Accounts/Manage Your Credentials"). This lists all cached credentials, and lets you easily delete the ones which are causing problems.
When you use Remote Desktop to connect to a server and save your login credentials, it doesn't only save them for remote desktop, it also uses them for connecting through IE and, apparently, Chrome.
This is an old issue, and still valid. I just found if you save credentials while using mstsc (Remote Desktop), and try to use Integrated Windows Auth against any site that is CNAMEd to that server, it will use the saved credentials. Those will be the ones you need to delete.
My PC is locked down at work and IT have removed Credential Manager from the menu in Control Panel.
I was able to get around this by running cmdkey /list from the command line. In the list of "Currently stored credentials" I located the offending hostname and ran cmdkey /delete:[hostname] (no sq. brackets and replace hostname with your host), which fixed the issue for me.
According to this site, rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr will bring up the dialog to do this as well.

I am trying to config a sharepoint 2010 site for anonymous access. The tutorials I am following are:
http://live.visitmix.com/Videos
http://blog.drisgill.com/2009/11/sp2010-branding-tip-9-turn-on-anonymous.html
http://www.topsharepoint.com/enable-anonymous-access-in-sharepoint-2010
And a few youtube videos.
I am stuck fast in a certain point. When I am told in Central Admin to click "Site Actions > Site Settings > Application Management > Manage Applications > SharePoint - 80" I do this. My next step is to click "Authentication Providers".
In my system this option is 'Greyed out' and not selectable. I also try to click "Anonymous Policy". The options in this section are also not selectable.
Is there further config needed? Can anyone suggest a possible solution? or link an article with the solution? The mix videos leave this config out.
Thanks in advance
Here is the solution:
I went a different way and basically opened every option related to security / perms / anon.
I ended up from central administration clicking "Security > Specify Authentication Provider > Default"
I was then able to allow anon access. The correct options have appeared to the site collection administrator.
In case you're using Windows 8 ensure that the browser you're using for the update is running in admin mode.
Otherwise just open another instance by "Run as administrator".
Good luck!
Try using Internet Explorer.
I had the same problem when using Firefox 3.6.8, but not in IE 8.
Also don't forget to open Internet Explorer with elevated administrator privileges.
I logged on as the local administrator on the box and the button was enabled, but when I tried to save, it error'ed out.
I created a new web application, and successfully made it anon, and was then able to make the original one anon too - no more error.
The quickest thing to verify: when opening up Central Administration in IE, ensure that you run it 'as administrator'
If you do, then no items like the authentication provider options on the ribbon will be disabled.
