I'm trying to pull certain Filemaker 5 tables into SQL Server 2000 in an automated import job using a file DSN. Everything resides locally on a Windows XP machine. My process works fine on a test FM file with no password, but with the real FM files, all password protected, it fails with this error: ****** Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers Error Description: Unspecified error

Hi All Experts, I trying to create an app/script to set local group policies on a machine. How can I achieve setting group policies programmatically without using any GUI. For example, I want to set the User Configuration --> Windows Settings --> Internet Explorer Maintenance --> Connection --> proxy settings, using a script or my own custom app.

If you right click on a .pdf file, on the "summary" tab there is a property called "keywords". Is it possible to programmatically read the contents of the keywords property using VBA? I want to loop through a bunch of directories looking for pdfs that have "foobar" in the keywords property. Thanks,

We have our own set of users and passwords for our application and we want to implement strong passwords. My question is can you access the windows password policy settings in order to validate a password the user has typed in? Even if you cant use the password history for your own passwords, it would still be useful to use the other settings like minimum length etc... We could store our own format for the password maybe as a regular...

Hi all, We recently started to receive complaints about our install project not working and giving and shitload of error messages related to SQL. We later found out that the problem was the users we were trying to bind to we're not created because of the domain password policy feature implemented into SQL Server 2005.

Can someone provide me with a code snippet of how to retrieve the password policy for an instance of ADAM? I have found a few articles that explain how to do this in Active Directory but they don't appear to work for ADAM (the stated properties do not exist). I would like to compare a password that is entered in my application against the password policy to validate the password. Thank you,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
