Windows 7 – New Features





DirectAccess
  • Active Directory authentication without a VPN connection
  • Firewall and NAT friendly with most existing  network infrastructures
  • Supports multi-factor authentication
  • Uses IPv6-over-IPSec and Teredo
  • Requires Server 2008 R2 back-end with SSTP and RRAS
  • Can be configured for split-tunnelling if desired

BranchCache

  • Similar to Cisco’s WAAS
  • Hosted Cache  mode – Server 2008 R2 hosts the files (Host/Client)
  • Distributed Cache mode – PCs cache the content and distribute to each other (P2P)
  • HTTP, HTTPS, SMB – passive cache for reads – writes are never cached
  • Takes advantage of SMB 2.0 with Vista, Windows 7 and Server 2008

BitLocker To Go
  • USB storage devices can be encrypted
  • Encryption can be enforced for newly inserted devices
  • Policies can be set to require password complexity, smart cards, etc
  • Drive Prep Tool no longer necessary post-install if you want to enable BitLocker at a later date.
AppLocker
  • Rule based application permissions model
  • Publisher rules are based on application digital signature
  • Relies on signed applications
  • Helps prevent unauthorized software installation

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure enhancements
  • Spanning monitor support with varying resolutions per monitor
  • Microphone support over RDP 
  • Aero/DirectX/Multimedia/streaming  over RDP
  • Mount VHD files as a drive letters
  • Boot from VHD files

Management
  • Credential Manager provides a ‘lock box’ for passwords for sites and services
  • Remote Assistance vastly improved
  • Action Center combines Security Center with Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Recovery Centers
  • Native Biometric (fingerprint) and Location Sensor (GPS) driver support for many existing devices
HomeGroup
  • Domain-joined computers can be part of a HomeGroup
  • Uses a password  for fileshares and printer shares
  • Easy to use

Multi-touch interfaces
  • Surface-esque control of the desktop

Libraries and enhanced Search
  • Search for items anywhere on your network with federated Search partners
  • Where you store files become less important as long as they can be indexed

Miscellaneous
  • ReadyBoost can be used on multiple devices at once
  • Desktop Gadgets can roam anywhere on the desktop
  • “SuperBar” – the controversial task bar replacement

Beep codes viewer



The computer POST (Power On Self Test) tests the computer, insuring that it meets the necessary system requirements and that all hardware is working properly before starting the remainder of the boot process. If the computer passes the POST, the computer will have a single beep (with some computer BIOS manufacturers it may beep twice) as the computer starts and it will continue to start normally. However, if the computer fails the POST, the computer will either not beep at all or will generate a beep code, which tells the user the source of the problem. This little utility will help you to lookup these beep codes and figure out what they represent.

Fix your CD or DVD drive is missing or not recognized by Windows

Rizone CD-DVD Repair is a small utility that will repair Windows if your CD or DVD drive is missing or not recognized by Windows or other programs. Apart form the basic functionality it also allows resetting of Autorun settings and protection against Autorun parasites(virus).

The former lets you repair the Autoplay/Autorun settings if for some reason it fails to work, while the latter provides protection against Autorun virus by disabling the Autorun feature for removable drives. In Windows 7 it will disable autorun for non-Volume devices to protect against viruses, since Microsoft have permanently disabled autorun.inf for removable drives. Use the first option only if Autorun fails to work.

Security Restore-restore your deafult security settings





Security Restore, as the name implies, will simply attempt to restore your computer to the default security settings. This is useful for when you get, ‘You don’t have permission to… blah, blah, blah’ errors, while installing programs or updating stuff. It will also attempt to repair the dreaded 0×80070005 error messages when trying to register dll files while installing certain Windows components or programs. Sometimes you will not get this specific error number, but just an Installation Failed message. This tool will in most cases also repair these errors, for example:  Internet Explorer 7 installation failure and permission errors while installing BitDefender AntiVirus.
This should only be used when you actually have something wrong with your computer. This will normally be after a virus attack and you are trying to register components, for example: when you try and update a Windows installation. Also, when you try to install a AntiVirus program after virus removal and you keep on receiving permission errors. This utility replaces the popular Rizone 0×80070005 FIX.

Cretae user Account in Linux

To create a new user account under any Linux distribution use command called useradd. The system administrator is responsible for creating account. Login as root user (or use sudo command).

useradd command syntax

useradd [options] {username}
Depending on command line options, the useradd command will update system files (/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file with password) and may also create the new user's home directory and copy initial files.

Linux add a new user called hcl

Type the command as follows:
useradd hcl
Set a password for hcl:
passwd hcl
Without password user account will be in locked status. To unlock the account, you need to use above passwd command. Use passwd command to assign a password and set password aging guidelines.

Set account disable date

You can set date for the account to be disabled in the format YYYY-MM-DD with -e option while creating account itself:
useradd -e {yyyy-mm-dd} {username}
useradd -e 2008-12-31 jerry

Set default password expiry

The -f {days} option set number of days after the password expires until the account is disabled. (If 0 is specified, the account is disabled immediately after the password expires. If -1 is specified, the account is not be disabled after the password expires.)
useradd -f {days} {username}
useradd -e 2009-12-31 -f 30 jerry
