Windows Vista SP1 availability for technical customers

On Monday (February 4th), we announced the release to manufacturing (RTM) of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1).  Overall, people are excited to hear that we have reached this milestone, but some are disappointed they are not able to immediately download it.

In my blog post on the subject, I noted that we were going to make SP1 available to customers in stages to make sure we delivered a great experience.  As I explained, one reason for this is that we are working through an issue with a small set of hardware devices that may not function properly after the Windows Vista-based PC they are installed on is updated to SP1.  This is an issue with the way the device drivers were re-installed during the SP1 update process, not with the drivers themselves — these drivers worked on Windows Vista RTM and they work on Windows Vista SP1.  For new PCs with Windows Vista SP1 pre-installed, this is not an issue. 

We are working with the manufacturers of these devices to get the drivers and their install programs updated, and also working on other solutions we can use to ensure a smooth

Hands-on with the HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion GPS

I would say I’m quite good with maps and for that reason I’ve never needed a GPS device. Having said that, I’m also deeply intrigued by the technology. Today I received a HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion to review.

Turning on

Prior to this, I had no idea Hewlett Packard had made a GPS product. This is in fact their second. Still, I was a little worried they might be stepping into unfamiliar territory and the quality of this product would reflect their lack of experience in the field. Having played with it now, it has overcome all my fears and I believe there’s no reason why anyone looking for a GPS device should exclude this from their list. Here’s my what I found.

Main menu

At the first impression, you’ll come to admire how beautiful the user interface is on this gorgeous high-resolution (800×480) resolution screen. Each icon is finely detailed and there are plenty of them. The cool blue theme is consistent yet refreshing.

Configuring the NAP Client in XP SP3

With the recent launch of Windows Server 2008 you are no doubt spending all your free time playing around with everything new.  One thing you might be playing around with is Network Access Protection.  There is a great document on getting a DHCP based NAP lab set up but one thing the document is missing is how to configure the NAP client in XP SP3.  In Windows Vista you simply start the service then enable the client through the NAP Client Configuration MMC (napclcfg.msc) but XP SP3 does not include the MMC.  So how does one configure the NAP Client without a Nap Client configuration tool?  Netsh, that is how!

To enable the NAP Client on XP SP3 you need to do the following:

  1. Start –> Run –> Services.msc
  2. Change the Network Access Protection Agent service to start automatically
  3. Start the Network Access Protection Agent service
  4. Start –> Run –> CMD.exe
  5. Type netsh nap client set enforcement ID = ##### Admin = “Enable”

You will need to replace the ##### with the ID based on whichever enforcement method you are using.  You can use the following IDs for the various enforcement methods:

  • DHCP = 79617
  • RAS = 79618
  • IPSec = 79619
  • TS Gateway = 79621
  • EAP = 79623
