Understand the Real Benefits of Agent-Optional Monitoring
Most vendors trumpet the benefits of implementing either agentless monitoring or agent-based monitoring. In reality, you need both. Agent-Optional solutions allow you to centrally manage and select which servers are monitored locally with an agent and which servers are monitored remotely, helping your organization effectively sustain 100% uptime while reducing enterprise monitoring TCO.

Lack of response after USB-PS/2 keyboard switch
[Serdar Yegulalp]
Windows supports both USB and PS/2 keyboards, and can in fact support having more than one such input device plugged in at a time. However, swapping out USB and PS/2 keyboards can cause problems in Windows. Find out how to avoid and fix this situation.
Ask the Expert: What's the best way to save large files on my hard drive?
[Serdar Yegulalp]
Dear Serdar,
I wish to save certain large files (about 5 gigs worth) on my hard drive. I tried creating a partition, but I have to have the "basic disk configuration" and I do not have a disk to restore those. I also looked into creating a dynamic volume, but the info I've found about it is vague. I do not wish to do anything that can sabotage these files. What do you recommend?
Standalone memory testing for workstations and servers
[Serdar Yegulalp]
Many companies have created memory-testing programs that run within Windows. The best way to conduct a memory test is by using a dedicated program that boots on its own and does not require an operating system.
Retrieving and modifying the product key for Windows XP
[Serdar Yegulalp]
The Windows XP product key is the 25-digit alphanumeric string, in the format AB123-123AB-AB123-123AB-AB123, used to license copies of Windows XP. At some point it might be necessary to change the CD key for an installed copy of XP.
