Recently I heard a interviewer asked this question: You install a hotfix in a Windows server, after the installation, the server reboots with BSOD and unable to boot into Windows, not able to boot in safe mode also. What will be your approach to fix this issue? Honestly, I didn't encounter this situation. As my working knowledge of resolving dead (corrupted) servers,  not to waste much time and resources, if feasible, the best option would be repair Windows, 2nd would be reinstall the OS. This is not the best solution for all indeed. So below is the one I found while googling: Hadn't a chance to give a try, let me see my luck in my next patching cycle :)

Error message in IIS: "530 User cannot log in. Login failed

Resolution 4 Try using the command line FTP utility and specify the FTP username in DOMAIN\Username format when you log into the FTP Site. If this works, then you can either instruct all users to log on by using DOMAIN\Username format, or you can specify the default authentication domain that the FTP Service should use when authenticating accounts that do not exist locally and that were not entered in the DOMAIN\Username format. To do this you must make changes to the Metabase. To specify a default logon domain so users do not have to type DOMAIN\Username when logging on to the FTP Server, you can either use the Windows Script Host (if it was installed during the Windows NT Option Pack setup) or the NTOP utility Mdutil.exe. Both methods are described below. To use the Windows Script Host method, use one of the following methods depending on the version of IIS that you are running: Note In IIS 6.0, you can resolve this issue by modifying the metabase only when the FTP isolation typ...

Using SCCM 2007 to deploy Java Runtime Engine Updates

Here’s some instructions for updating staff computers to the latest version of JRE using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. These steps will allow you to silently deploy JRE and then I’ll cover how to disable automatic updates so users aren’t prompted when a new version is available. 1) First download the latest version of JRE http://www.java.com 2) You’ll get an .exe file, but you can get the .msi file by launching the .exe.  When the installation wizard starts, click next to start the download and when the program starts the actual installation navigate to the LocalAppData folder.  On Windows 7 this is located at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_<version>\ 3) Copy the .msi file to your desktop before installation completes, otherwise the file will be automatically removed 4) On your SCCM server setup your software distribution package according to your environment.  As far as program parameters, make sure you specify the /q...
