Troubleshooting KCC Event Log Errors - Ask the Directory Services Team. My name is David Everett and I’m a Support Escalation Engineer on the Directory Services Support team. I’m going to discuss a recent trend I’ve seen where Active Directory Replication appears to be fine but one DC only in one (or more) sites begins logging Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) Warning and Error events in the Directory Service event log. I included sample events below. For those not familiar with the KCC, it is a distributed application that runs on every domain controller. The KCC is responsible for creating the connections between domain controllers and collectively forms the replication topology.
In some cases these errors are logged all the time and in others they are logged at regular intervals and they clear on their own only to reappear like clockwork. In some cases this event is also seen; it suggests name resolution is working but a network port is blocked: For those wondering what these events mean here is a quick rundown: repadmin /istg - David Everett. Walkthrough: IIS 7.0 Output Caching : Optimizing Performance : Managing and Maintaining IIS 7. Introduction Web content can be divided into two categories: static content and dynamic content. Static content does not change from request to request. The content that gets returned to the web browser is always the same.
Examples of static content include HTML files, JPG or GIF files. The other is dynamic content. This is the response that gets generated for dynamic content changes with every request. Examples include ASP.NET or PHP content. There is a big range between these two categories which includes semi-dynamic content. The IIS 7.0 Output Caching feature targets semi-dynamic content. This article contains: Prerequisites For this walkthrough, you need IIS 7.0 on Windows ® Vista SP1 or on Windows Server® 2008 Beta 3 or later. Walkthrough Overview In the following walkthrough, we use the IIS 7.0 extensibility interfaces to add language-specific copyright messages to JPG files.

Nathan Winters IntroductionIn the last few days this issue of time sync in Windows domains has come up a few times both at work and on the Minasi forum of which I am a member. Each time there has been confusion as to exactly how time sync occurs in a Windows domain.Therefore, I decided that I would put this article together in order to try to provide a decent answer as to what is going on and how to troubleshoot any issues that arise.
The first thing about Time Sync in Windows is to realise that it is a little different between Windows 2000 machines and Windows XP/2003 machines. This is because in Windows 2000 the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) was used and was configured with the NET TIME command. Now, with XP and 2003, Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used which give benefits such as more reliable time due to better correction methods. This is configured using the new W32TM commands which we will look at later on.

A Microsoft Windows file stored in the c:\windows\system32 or c:\winnt\system32 directory that has the file description: Spooler SubSystem App. This file is responsible for how Microsoft Windows handles print and fax jobs on your computer. Is this file a spyware, trojan, or virus? The spoolsv.exe file included with Microsoft Windows is not spyware, a trojan, or a virus.
However, like any file on your computer it can become corrupted by a virus, worm, or trojan. antivirus programs can detect and clean this file if it has become infected. There are several known trojans, viruses, and worms that take on the identity of this file. Is it safe to remove spoolsv.exe from the Task Manager processes? Yes. The spoolsv.exe is taking up 99%, 100% or other abnormal high amount of CPU. This is caused when there are still printer jobs in the Windows spool. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel. Spoolsv.exe generates errors and will be closed by Windows. Additional information.
