Halløjsa,

Ja, du læste rigtigt. De danske .dk domæner er ikke længere sikre for private personer.

En nyere sag afgjort af domæneklagenævnet har fastsat at en virksomhed, der har registreret et varemærke i 2009, har kunnet overtage et .dk domæne registreret af en privatperson helt tilbage i 1999. Privatpersonen havde registreret domænet, da domænenavnet var dennes nickname online i spil, chat m.m.

Det betyder basalt set, at hvis en virksomhed i dag varemærkeregistrer navnet frande, så kan de umiddelbart overtage mit domæne, frande.dk, ved blot at indsende en klage til domæneklagenævnet.

Hvad sker der lige for det klagenævn? Og hvordan kan en virksomhed overhoved varemærke-registrer sig, når der i forvejen findes et .dk-domæne på præcis samme navn (hvilket jo betyder at varemærket ikke er unik under registreringsprocessen)?

Ja, jeg undrer mig betydeligt – der er noget helt galt her!!

Hello,

Just found a little funny Winnie the Pooh picture… :)

Hello,

I just installed Windows Server 2003 on a private test-server.

After the installation I wanted to install Windows Live Messenger 2009, however it’s not possible according to the installer.

It seems that Windows Live Messenger cannot be installed on Windows Server 2003 and 2008.
I have found some posts online saying that it can’t even be installed on Windows XP 64 bit. However I have not checked if that is correct.

I searched the internet and found a solution for the problem and it worked for me.
I have made a step-by-step guide below on how I did:

1. First download Windows Live Messenger from http://download.live.com/?sku=messenger

2. Then download Resource Hacker.
You can find the official site here (contains info and download-link).
I have however added an extra download-link here to the current version (as of 5h November 2009).

3. Open the Windows Live Messenger installer-file in Resource Hacker.

4. Open the resource tree and goto “CONFIG” > “CONFIG0″ > “0″.

5. In the line to your right find the XML-tag <os productType=”workstation” />.

6. Replace “workstation” with “server” and recompile the script by clicking the “Compile Script”-button in Resource Hacker.

7. Save the modified file in Resource Hacker (that is done through the “File”-menu).

8. Now you are ready to install – simply run the saved file and the installer should not give any error now.

I hope this step-by-step guide helped you.
I now have Windows Live Messenger 2009 installed on my Windows Server 2003 enviroment – and that was my mission.

Hello,

I have often had problems with deleting a Windows Service. Normally you shouldn’t delete a Windows Service, but sometimes (for example if a BETA program doesnt uninstall correct or something like that) it is needed.

I have listed two methods on how to delete a Windows Service here:

The first method is by changing in the Registry Database:
1. First run regedit or regedit32 (You can do that from the Start-menu > Run > Type “regedit” and then OK).

2. Find the registry-entry “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services”

3. Look for the service in the tree-structure and delete it.
You can look at the keys (mostly the key ImagePath) to see what files the service is using and delete them as well (if necessary).

The second method is a bit more simple – it is by typing a command in the command prompt:
1. First run the Command Prompt (You can do that from the Start-menu > Run > Type “cmd” and then OK).
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7 you need to run the Command Prompt as an Administrator (that is done by right-clicking the short-cut and choose “Run as…”)

2. When the Command Prompt is running simply just type: sc delete “the-service-nam”.

Both methods require that you reboot the computer afterwards if you want to see the changes in the Service Manager.
