Windows password-cracking tools are usually Linux boot disks that have NT file system (NTFS) drivers and software that will read the registry and rewrite the password hashes for any account including the Administrators.
SWFAddress is a small, but powerful library that provides deep linking for Flash and Ajax. It’s a developer tool, allowing creation of unique virtual URLs that can point to a website section or an application state. SWFAddress enables a number of important capabilities which are missing in today’s rich web technologies including:

Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 Domain Name System (DNS) provides efficient name resolution and interoperability with standards-based technologies. Deploying DNS in your client/server infrastructure enables resources on a TCP/IP network to locate other resources on the network by using host name-to-IP address resolution and IP address-to-host name resolution. The Active Directory® directory service requires DNS for locating network resources.
DNS is the primary method for name resolution in the Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, Standard Edition; Windows® Server 2003, Enterprise Edition; and Windows® Server 2003, Datacenter Edition operating systems (collectively referred to as “Windows Server 2003” in this chapter). DNS is also a requirement for deploying Active Directory, but Active Directory is not a requirement for deploying DNS. However, integrating DNS with Active Directory enables DNS servers to take advantage of the security, performance, and fault tolerance capabilities of Active Directory.
If you are planning to deploy DNS to support Active Directory, plan your DNS namespace in conjunction with planning your Active Directory logical structure.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) in the Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 family of operating systems enables centralized automatic management of IP addresses and other TCP/IP settings for network clients. You can reduce administrative overhead in your organization by designing and implementing a reliable and scalable DHCP solution.
Valid IP addresses and other network options must be configured for all computers and other devices on the network, such as printers, in a corporate network. Manually configuring this information is a time-consuming process that adds significant costs to an organization and is susceptible to user error.
Windows Server 2003 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) reduces the complexity and administrative overhead involved in managing network client IP addressing and configuration. DHCP allows you to assign IP addresses to network clients automatically and dynamically, as needed, and to automate, centralize, and simplify IP address and option configuration and distribution across your network. This protects against common configuration errors that occur when values are entered manually at each computer and helps to prevent address conflicts.
By using DHCP options, you can configure DHCP servers to supply a full range of configuration values when assigning a DHCP lease, allowing you to configure a large number of computers at one time, and to change configuration as necessary.
Designing your IP deployment includes deciding how you want to implement IP in a new environment, or — for most organizations — examining your existing infrastructure and deciding what to change. Windows Server 2003 TCP/IP, the most widely used networking protocol, can connect different types of systems, provide a framework for client/server applications, and give users access to the Internet. TCP/IP is included in the Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, Standard Edition; Windows® Server 2003, Enterprise Edition; Windows® Server 2003, Datacenter Edition; and Windows® Server 2003, Web Edition operating systems.
Before you start the TCP/IP design process, inventory your hardware and software and create or update a map of your network topology.
The accounting department is a cost center. It does not directly generate revenues,
but rather provides a fixed set of services to the rest of a company, and is asked to
do so at the lowest possible cost. Consequently, the accounting staff is called
upon to process transactions, write reports, create new processes or investigate
old ones—while doing so as an ever-shrinking proportion of total expenses.
This cost-based environment is a very difficult one for most accountants, for
their training is primarily in accounting rules and regulations, rather than in how
to run a very specialized department in a cost-effective manner. They find a few
ideas for improvements from attending seminars or perusing accounting or management
The eleventh edition of Accountants’ Handbook continues the tradition established in the first edition over 82 years ago of providing a comprehensive single reference source for understanding current financial statement and reporting issues. It is directed to accountants, auditors, executives, bankers, lawyers, and other preparers and users of accounting information. Its presentation and format facilitates the quick comprehension of complex accounting-related subjects updated for today’s rapidly changing business environment.
This edition of the Handbook continues the presentation of two soft-cover volumes; this edition contains a total of 49 chapters. To provide a resource with the encyclopedic coverage that has been the hallmark of this Handbook series, this edition again focuses on financial accounting and related topics, including those auditing standards and audit reports that are the common ground of interest for accounting and business professionals.
Well, it’s here. Windows 7 is Microsoft’s latest desktop operating system, and while
that’s notable on its own, this time around Microsoft appears to have really gotten
it right. With Windows Vista, those in the know fought an uphill battle trying to convince
people that it wasn’t as horrible as pundits and know-nothing bloggers claimed. But
Windows 7 is different.
