Issue #2
=======

local computer" in Windows 2008 Web enrollment page thus causing ISA cannot
pickup this certificate.

Resolution:
--------

Issue #3
======
Problem Description
--------------------------
if "Services for Netware" is compatible Windows Server 2008?

Cause:
---------
"Service for Netware"(SFN) is not compatible with Windows Server 2008.
However, if you are not yet at Windows Server 2008 domain function level,
you can add a temporary Windows Server 2003 DC, and use SFN on that machine
for migration. Once the migration is complete, you can decommission the W2K3
server and raise your domain function level.

So when you setup your Windows 2008 AD, be sure to set the domain level to
Windows 2003 instead of Windows 2008. The domain functional level cannot be
rolled back when it has been raised.

Issue #4
=======
Problem Description
-------------------------
When you tried to map Server 2008 DFS on 2000 DCs, access denied error is
received. All other computers running XP, 2003 and Vista have no problem to
map the DFS.

Resolution
--------------
Configure the domain controllers policy as below:

Computer Configurations->Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options

Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always) - Disabled.
Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (if client agrees) -
Disabled.
Network security: LAN Manager authentication level - "Send LM & NTLM - use
NTLMv2 session security if negotiated".



Issue #5
=======
Problem Description
-------------------------

however, you can connect to remote Server on other computers correctly.

Resolution
--------------

1. Firewall on Windows 2008 is not turn off.
2. some network features on Windows 2008 are not supported by network
devices, and they are discarding packages from Windows 2008 Server.

Issue #6
=======
Problem Description
-------------------------
How can I add Access into the available SYSTEM DSN's on 64 Bit Server 2008
Enterprise ?

Cause:
------------
the driver for a Microsoft Office Access database (an .mdb file) has only a
32-bit version. For this kind of driver, you receive a message that states
that the driver cannot be loaded if you try to configure the user DSNs by
using the 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file. This behavior occurs
because a 64-bit application cannot load 32-bit .dll files.

Resolution:
-------------
To work around this problem, use the appropriate version of the ODBC
Administrator tool. If you build and then run an application as a 32-bit
application on a 64-bit operating system, you must create the ODBC data
source by using the ODBC Administrator tool in
%windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.


Issue #7

Problem Description
