Isthere a way to check the Splunk version number in Windows? Having a hard time tracking it down. Add/Remove Programs lists "a" version number (i.e. "107.2.31363") but that is not matching up to the publish splunk version / build numbers. I'm not seeing the Version property as being set on splunk.exe or splunkd.exe etc. Thanks!
This section contains descriptions of common bug check codes that are displayed on the blue bug check screen. This section also describes how you can use the !analyze extension in the Windows Debugger to display information about a bug check code.
Provide the stop code parameters to the !analyze command to display any available parameter information. For example, to display information on Bug Check 0x9F: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, with a parameter 1 value of 0x3, use !analyze -show 0x9F 0x3 as shown here.
When a bug check occurs, a dump file may be available that contains additional information about the contents of memory when the stop code occurred. To understand the contents of memory during a failure, knowledge of processor memory registers and assembly is required.
Live Dump stop codes to not reset the OS, but allow for the capture of memory information for abnormal situations where the operating system can continue. For information about live dumps, see Bug Check Code Reference - Live Dump.
NOTE 2: if the NTP service doesn't automatically start on reboot, it might be due to its start settings, as described here: depending on your windows, it might be set to start only when it joins a domain. You can check with:
If it's configured to start when you join a domain, and you don't have a domain set up in your machine, it will not start the service and set the time. It probably doesn't join a domain because you don't want it to. In any case, just change which trigger starts it. For example, to start when the machine has network (and therefore is able to access the server), do:
Seems like that should be enough at least to get going in that direction, that is, if I understood your question. AFAIK, the 'reg' command works on all these different platformsso long as you have the right services running.
Sometimes when I'm doing a little project I'm not careful enough and accidentally add a dependency for a DLL that I am not aware of. When I ship this program to a friend or other people, "it doesn't work" because "some DLL" is missing. This is of course because the program can find the DLL on my system, but not on theirs.
To do this you need to install Cygwin (basic installation, without additional packages required) on your Windows and then just start Cygwin Terminal. Now you can run your favorite Linux commands, including:
The safest thing is have some clean virtual machine, on which you can test your program. On every version you'd like to test, restore the VM to its initial clean value. Then install your program using its setup, and see if it works.
Dll problems have different faces. If you use Visual Studio and dynamically link to the CRT, you have to distribute the CRT DLLs. Update your VS, and you have to distribute another version of the CRT. Just checking dependencies is not enough, as you might miss those. Doing a full install on a clean machine is the only safe solution, IMO.
On your development machine, you can execute the program and run Sysinternals Process Explorer. In the lower pane, it will show you the loaded DLLs and the current paths to them which is handy for a number of reasons. If you are executing off your deployment package, it would reveal which DLLs are referenced in the wrong path (i.e. weren't packaged correctly).
Currently, our company uses Visual Studio Installer projects to walk the dependency tree and output as loose files the program. In VS2013, this is now an extension: -9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d. We then package these loose files in a more comprehensive installer but at least that setup project all the dot net dependencies and drops them into the one spot and warns you when things are missing.
In the NDepend Project Properties panel, you can define what application assemblies to analyze (in green) and NDepend will infer Third-Party assemblies used by application ones (in blue). A list of directories where to search application and third-party assemblies is provided.
If a third-party assembly is not found in these directories, it will be in error mode. For example, if I remove the .NET Fx directory C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319, I can see that .NET Fx third-party assemblies are not resolved:
In the past (i.e. WinXP days), I used to depend/rely on DLL Dependency Walker (depends.exe) but there are times when I am still not able to determine the DLL issue(s). Ideally, we'd like to find out before runtime by inspections but if that does not resolve it (or taking too much time), you can try enabling the "loader snap" as described on -loadlibrary-failures.aspx and -us/library/windows/hardware/ff556886(v=vs.85).aspx and briefly mentioned LoadLibrary fails; GetLastError no help
To view ".dll" dependencies and other useful information in Windows - i can highly recommend the CFF Explorer ( _id=388) its free and very useful. You can view "import" and "export" dependencies of the ".dll" file and many other functions. And it comes with a GUI - so you dont have to use the cli ...
Since the past 6 months we have been getting around 50-70 random computers every month not booting up after the pending reboot after installation of monthly patches from Microsoft. The computers get stuck at the HP logo (All of our computers are HP elitebook but different generations) with spinning wheel.
After creating a windows dump file and analysing it with help from Microsoft, they have identified the problem to be the Checkpoint zone alarm firewall driver vsdatant.sys interfering with letting Microsoft drivers loading. As I have noticed the vsdatant.sys driver is loading at high priority at kernel stage and therefore blocking everything else.
We are not able to recreate the problem, it affects random computers every month, one month a computer can install the patches and boot up after restart without problem other month same computer is failing. Troubleshooting this has not been easy.
When booting in safe mode or disabling the vsdatant.sys file temporarly the computer boots up and finnishing up the patch installation. And then when we enable it we cant restart the computer without any isse.
We created a ticket to Checkpoint and awaiting response. April patches just released and when deploying to a pilot group we already got one crashed computer so we are not confident enough to rollout the patches.
We are only using CheckPoint endpoint VPN on the computer and are using Windows defender as main firwall/antivirus. We had a working solution since Windows 7 where we never got any issue, after upgrading to Windows 10 we only upgraded the VPN client on the computers to a supported version for the specific Windows release, no change in config has been done on the server side. From my understanding that should not be necessary since the only policy that is downloaded to the client when using the VPN is just IP rules. However, my knowledge of the network part is limited... but since its working fine for so many computers and random computers are failing i dont think thats an issue. Worth mentioning is that we use UEFI, SecureBoot. Is Secureboot maybe causing this?
We have more than 5000 Clients and work with a Change Mgmt (ITIL conform) - this takes a very long time period to organizice /test/ create a Empirum-paket/ get approval /rollout in all over the world in my company.
To make sure you're protected by the latest security updates, Google Chrome can automatically update when a new version of the browser is available on your device. With these updates, you might sometimes notice that your browser looks different.
The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts. Your Incognito windows won't reopen when Chrome restarts. If you'd prefer not to restart right away, click Not now. The next time you restart your browser, the update will be applied.
Also it works only if I copy text from say word for example and paste it into a new email in outlook. spell check is always working in word it's just outlook. So if I type a heap of jumbled characters the spell checker doesn't underline in red (like MS word is doing) I have been though all the troubleshooting with a Microsoft support agent who has checked my settings via remote assistance and he also couldn't get it to work. He checked and said that he is having the same issue with Outlook 2021 on his work machine.
@Autistic_EwokMy question is when setting up my Microsoft profile just now to be able to reply to the question here, why is Microsoft asking to enter my work email if I am a 365 user? That isn't the only option, a work email, so why are they specifically asking for only a work email? I do not have a work email (retired), but I am a 365 user.
As for the Outlook spell check feature, very surprising to see all of the experts talking about all of the options for spell check in Outlook, because this is directly from Outlook: "Although Outlook.com does not have a spell check function, many web browsers automatically check your spelling, including Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 10 and later versions, and current versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Check the options for your web browser to learn more about how to check spelling."
Thank you, I misunderstood the question then. I have been dealing with Outlook issues this week and was looking for answers regarding spell check while typing reply email messages. I thought this was the same thing, but apparently there are several options when dealing with Outlook (web based, app and Office).
After a few days of frustration where my terrible keyboard skills were delivering many typos, and no little red line underneath to warn me, I went on a search for the answer. Nothing in the MS system worked but eventually I discovered a fix within the browser. I use Chrome so will use this as my example: Chrome settings-languages-spell check. Turns out all these had been switched off for some reason, flicked them back to on and I have my red lines again showing me how bad my keyboard skills are.
Hope this helps someone else as there doesn't seem to be a built in spell check option for the O365 online email offering.
