Shutdown Event Tracker provides a way for IT professionals to consistently track why users restart or shut down their computers. It does not document why users choose other options, such as Log off and Hibernate. It gathers the reasons users give for restarts and shutdowns to help create a comprehensive picture of an organization's system environment.

You can later view the Shutdown Event Tracker log by searching for the User32 1076 event in the Event Viewer console under the System Log.

This event refers to the failure indicated by the previous Event Log 6008 event. The User32 1076 event is written when the first user with shutdown privileges logs on to the computer after an unexpected restart or shutdown and supplies a reason for the occurrence. An unexpected restart or shutdown is one that the system cannot anticipate, such as when the user pushes the computer's reset button or unplugs the power cord.

Shutdown Event Tracker is enabled by default and supported on all Windows Server 2003 family of operating systems.

To disable Shutdown Event Tracker perform the following:

1. Open Group Policy, then load the group policy you want to apply the change to.

Note: On a computer that is not a part of a domain you can set this feature locally by running GPEDIT.MSC from the Run command.

For example, if you want the setting to affect the entire domain, edit the Default Domain GPO, or another GPO on the domain level.

2. Expand Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System.
3. Double-click Display Shutdown Event Tracker.
4. Select Disabled.

5. Click OK to close all dialog boxes.
6. If you want the change to take place right now, refresh the GPO by running the following command in a Command Prompt window or from the Run command:

gpupdate /force

"A Tale of Two Cities"
SEASON PREMIERE
In the season premiere episode, Jack, Kate and Sawyer begin to discover what they are up against as prisoners of "The Others."

52 Things To Read Before Asking About Warcraft Rogues!

1. Nobody wants to rate your build
2. Slice and Dice does more damage than any other finisher in a raid environment
3. There is no dodge cap
4. Blade Flurry is always good, even against a single target
5. www.shadowpanther.net has a good list of equipment and has a rating system
6. Read the rogue stickies for the cookie cutter builds
7. Backstab and Sinister Strike are "weapon speed normalized" which means that weapons of any speed get the same attack power bonus from your AP. However, for any given weapon DPS, a slower weapon is still better due to higher average damage.
8. Hemorrhage is not "weapon speed normalized", slower weapons are substantially better than faster weapons
9. Cheap Shot and Kidney Shot are on different "diminishing returns" timers. Sap and Gouge are on the same one.
10. Weapon skill is amazingly good when fighting mobs of 2 or more levels higher than you.
11. Fighting monsters from behind is better than the front, even when you aren't using daggers
12. 14 AP = 1 DPS, this is true for all levels
13. 29 Agility = 1% Crit. 14.5 Agility = 1% Dodge. This is only true for level 60.
14. Your videos are not interesting
15. Combat is the best tree for leveling
16. Opportunity is ALWAYS better than Lethality for Dagger rogues
17. +15 Agility for offhand weapons
18. +5 Weapon Damage on mainhand daggers
19. Crusader on everything
20. We don't care how hard you hit
21. Level your lockpicking. When you get to 60, people expect you to have it.
22. Improved Dual Wielding does the most damage increase for any point you can spend in the talent trees
23. Blizzard may or may not read our boards. Titling posts "Drysc read!!!!" or "Blue plz respond!" doesn't do anything.
24. Stealth is useless against pets
25. One rogue per raid can use deadly poison to do more damage than instant poison
26. Against an equal level opponent, you will miss 5% of special attacks
27. The dual wield penalty is +19% to miss on ALL white damage for a total of 24% base miss on equal level enemies
28. +hit is really -miss, so you don't have too much until you stop missing
29. -300 armor improves your damage by 5% on cloth to 2% on plate
30. Again, nobody wants to rate your build. The cookie cutter builds are almost certainly better than your fun, unique build. Feel free to use whatever you want, but don't ask us to look at it.
31. Poisons do a substantial amount of your damage.
32. Devilsaur is extremely good, Stormshroud is not
33. When raiding, a warrior's battle shout is much better than a feral druid's crit aura
34. Practice your stunlocks
35. Get a Hand of Justice, it is worth it
36. For PvE: If you're not sure of your threat, feint. If you're really not sure, vanish.
37. Dagger/Fist/Sword/Mace specializations work fine on the offhand
38. If you get a bonus swing, it is ALWAYS with the mainhand
39. Maces do not do as much damage as Swords. Think "different" not better.
40. For blizzard's itemization, 1 STR = 1 AGI = 2 AP. That generally means that items with lots of AP are VERY good, and items with lots of STR are VERY bad.
41. It's ROGUE not ROUGE.
42. Dodge is not useless
43. Abilities that "increase attack speed" increase the number of swings you make over a time period by the listed amount. Meaning 50% speed increase makes you hit 50% more often. It does NOT reduce your weapon speed by 50% (which would make you hit twice as often).
44. "Blade Flurry" stacks with "Slice and Dice" for a total of 156% attack speed. They also stack with every other attack speed buff (like Troll Berserking).
45. Your stealth ability can be described as a skill that is 5 * level (300 at level 60). Each point in Master of Deception adds 3 points. The Night Elf racial (which is passive) adds 5 points.
46. Energy regenerates at the rate of 20 every 2 seconds. No abilites change this except for Adrenaline Rush.
47. The Band of Jin + Seal of Jin is an a epic ring set
48. +1% to Hit is worth slightly more then +1% Crit until you have 6% or more +to Hit
49. +1% to Hit is worth between +0.5-0.75% Crit once you have 6% or more +to Hit
50. 1% chance for an extra strike is worth approximately +1% Crit. 1% chance for an extra strike gets better as you get more +hit and +crit gear.
51. Eviscerate 9 drops from Blackhand Assassins in Upper Blackrock Spire
52. Feint 5, Backstab 9, and Deadly Poison 5 drop from the bosses in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj

Required Windows Software

The required tools are available through the cygwin distribution. You can download cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/. The authentication protocol used in rsync is a 128 bit MD4 based challenge response system. Please note that the packets sent between the client and servers on port 873 are not encrypted. For encryption support you can configure rsync to run over ssh.

 

Install with the following selections as a minimum:

(1.1) +Editors Install nano for use as a simple text editor (or install one of the others if you are familiar with them), as in the following example screen.

 

(1.2) +Net Install Rsync as in the following example screen. (It is not installed by default)

(1.3) +Admin To use Rsync as a Service under Windows, you must expand the +Admin section and select cygrunsrv NT/W2k service initiator.

 

You will need to tell Windows where to find the Cygwin /bin directory, otherwise apps called from outside Cygwin will fail. Do this by adding C:\Cygwin\bin; to the PATH statement.

On Windows 2003/XP, open the Control Panel and double click on the System applet. Click on the Advanced tab, then click the Environment Variables button. Double click on the PATH statement in the 'System Variable' screen (lower of the two), add the path on the end, and click OK. Click OK to close the Environment Variables screen, then click OK to close the System Properties dialogue box. The path will be dynamically reloaded (no need to reboot).

Note: If the end of the path looks something like this: C:\Somepath don't forget to add ; before you add the C:\Cygwin\bin; e.g. C:\Somepath;C:\Cygwin\bin;

Unix Configuration

 

Make sure Rsync is installed.

 

Choose the path for your backup area: This can be on a per-user basis (backup a Users data to their /home/user area) or on a system level basis (a single machine backing up to one directory.)

Create the /etc/rsyncd.conf and /etc/rsyncd.secrets files. [Check out the Manual pages for rsyncd.conf for more info.]

 

Here is an example of an rsyncd.conf file:

 

[modulename]     path = /home/syncuser/data     uid = syncuser     gid = syncuser     read only = false     auth users = syncuser     secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

 

The permissions for this file should be: -rw-r--r-- (644) and root root.

 

The corresponding rsyncd.secrets file contains the following entry (username:password):

 

syncuser:SyncUser1

 

The permissions for this file should be: -rw------- (600) and root root.

 

 

Start Rsync in daemon mode.

 

Windows Configuration

In order to synchronise your Windows machine effectively, I would recommend the use of a batch file, as in the following:

 

@cls @echo off rem Rsync job control file C:\Cygwin\bin\rsync -vrtzu --password-file=c:\cygwin\secret /cygdrive/d/data/ syncuser@company.com::modulename

 

An explanation:

C:\Cygwin\bin\rsync    -    is the full path to 'rsync.exe'.

-vrtzu    -    verbose (tell us what is being copied), recursive (descend into directories), transfer modification times, z (compress data), u (skip newer files).

--password-file=c:\cygwin\secret   -    Path to 'secret' file.

/cygdrive/d/data/    -    in this example means D:\data.

syncuser@company.com::modulename    -    is the user ID, hostname (can be IP address if over Local Network), and the module connection name (in this example 'modulename').

You will now have to create the 'secret' file that Rsync uses for its authenticating password.

 

Login to Cygwin.

 

Create a file called 'secret' in the root of the Cygwin application (i.e. cd /). Enter the client's password with no spaces and no carriage returns; (in this example: 'SyncUser1' to match syncuser:SyncUser1 in the server's /etc/rsyncd.secrets file). Assign the file 600 permissions (chmod 600 secret). This is the file '--password-file=c:\cygwin\secret' as referred to above. If you create the secret file as a user (i.e. not logged in as 'Administrator'), you will need to change the ownership of the file: chown Administrator:Domain Users should work for Servers; chown Administrator:SYSTEM should work for Workstations.

 

Now schedule this batch file (using the Windows Schedule Tasks application) to run whenever you which to synchronise. For example, schedule to start every day at 6am and the repeat every 10 minutes until 11pm.

 

Redbullshit. Cancelled because of wind. Fair enough. 6 hours in traffic because of piss poor organisation. Sucks. ----
