Em Windows Vista, os usuários podem ter um extensivo Relatório da saúde do sistema gerado para eles na ajuda pesquise defeitos edições do desempenho e da confiabilidade em seu PC ou para ver como saudável seu PC está no general. Para o usuário médio, isto provavelmente não significará qualquer coisa. Mas para mim, eu sou o tipo de usuário que realmente os gostos que têm a abilidade de criar os relatórios que me dizem sobre meu PC assim que mim foram excitados realmente para encontrar esta abilidade em Windows Vista.

Esta noite eu decidi-me gerar um relatório em meu PC principal do desktop para a primeira vez e ver o que diz. Para ter um relatório da saúde do sistema gerado:

1. Abra o menu do começo.
2. Direito-clique no “computador” e no clique “propriedades”.
3. Na janela das propriedades do sistema, estale sobre sua avaliação do índice da experiência de Windows.
4. Na janela da informação e das ferramentas do desempenho, sob “tarefas” no clique da mão esquerda da placa das opções “avançou ferramentas”.
5. Sob ferramentas que avançadas a janela escolhe “gere um relatório da saúde do sistema” no fundo.

O relatório gera após aproximadamente 60 segundos de testar. Está aqui meu relatório que da saúde do sistema eu gerei esta noite:

Como você pode ver, toda a sorte dos erros ou os avisos para seu sistema são indicados

Hoje, entalhe dito o sobre alguns updates às ferramentas no bloco Desktop do Optimization de Microsoft (MDOP) de Barcelona, Spain em TechEd ELE Forum. Eu tive recentemente uma possibilidade dar um dos componentes de MDOP - o Diagnostic de Microsoft e a recuperação Toolset (DaRT) 6.0 - uma tentativa. O DaRT é um jogo excelente das ferramentas para ELE os profissionais para pesquisar defeitos PCes unresponsive e vírus e malware remover fora dos PCes infected em seu ambiente. O DaRT 6.0 também tem agora a abilidade para ELE profissionais de conduzir a remoção fora de linha do malware e dos vírus dos PCes infected.

The first thing I noticed when I started using DaRT is that it provides two options to the IT Professional: a way to analyze crash files from unresponsive PCs through the Crash Analysis Wizard, and a way to create a startup disc with the necessary tools in fixing an unresponsive PC that is unable to boot into Windows called ERD Commander.

I first took a look at the Crash Analysis Wizard.

The Crash Analysis Wizard allows an IT Professional to take a crash dump file (*.dmp files associated with a system crash) and analyze it and get important bits of information that could

Today, Nick told you about some updates to the tools in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) from Barcelona, Spain at TechEd IT Forum. I recently had a chance to give one of the components of MDOP - the Microsoft Diagnostic and Recovery Toolset Read More……(read more)

I recently received the following via email. I responded, but never heard back. Hopefully the information will be of use to others…

Hi, Found your name on the web when I was looking at some stuff on slashdot and I thought maybe you might have a moment to point me in the right direction.
I have a custom app which I have zero access to in terms of the developer. When the app was run on new hardware, a few users would periodically get a bizarre error, but never on their old hardware. Main difference seems to be core 2 duo on the new laptops.
Anyway, this error causes a total reset of the internal windows database system used by the app and then there’s an error in msvcr80.dll. Is there a way I can tell from the data below what routine went bad in that module? I could at least then tell the guy who guards the gates to tell the developer a little bit more. At this point the “guard” is convinced it is just because the dll is not the latest version. I think it is probably not that simple.

[app].exe signature
Appname [app].exe App. Ver. 0.0.0.0

(TROUBLESHOOTING) It has been reported that Dreamweaver 8.0 might crash or freeze on some Windows Vista systems while browsing for files. This is caused by Office Groove that bundled with Office 2007 Ultimiate. To resolve this, you simply need to uninstall MS Office Groove. According to Adobe’s website, this issue will be resolved in the next Dreamweaver release (Spring, 2007) since Dreamweaver 8 was released long before the debut of Windows Vista and Office 2007.
Here’s a complete instruction on how to uninstall Office Groove 2007 component within Windows Vista:

Previously (here and here), I’ve written about isolating shared services so that they run in their own process, with a specific focus on the Windows Update Automatic Updates Service (wuauserv) that typically runs in the NETSVCS SVCHOST.EXE instance. One thing that can be done once this is accomplished is to lower the priority of the process so that when the service winds up consuming 100% of the CPU, the system doesn’t become unresponsive.

Since we’re dealing with a service, setting the priority of such a SVCHOST.EXE process can become problematic - the service may already be running, or, because it is a service, it is not started as non-service processes are, so one is not able to use START / [LOW NORMAL HIGH REALTIME ABOVENORMAL BELOWNORMAL] to impose a priority when the process starts. One can use a utility like Task Manager or Process Explorer to set the priority of a process on an ad hoc basis, but when the service restarts or the system reboots one has to remember to set the priority again.

Though not an ideal solution the following scripts (VBS using WMI, and PowerShell) can be used to set the
