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.

Hello,

When I started with my Synology DiskStation 207+ I had the problem with Windows losing the connection to my shared folders on the DiskStation.
Sometimes it simply just said that I used an incorrect username and password - eventhough I had written the correct username and password when I set up my network drive.

I found out that by creating a user on the DiskStation with the same username and password as my Windows User the problem stopped. You actually don’t have to logon to the drives after this “fix” – you can just simply access it by adding the network drive or by the default network address. Of cource you have to give the new user the correct rights, but after this is done it works perfectly.

This way you can also control the different users on your Windows-machine and give them different access on the Synology DiskStation. Easy as hell :-)

Have a nice try !

Hello everybody,

After a long time with no posts I am finally back. I have also finished my Project: Silent Synology DS207+.
This post will explain how I finally got my Synology DS207+ silent and my experiences duing this process.

I have earlier posted two posts about this subject – PART ONE & TWO.
I suggest that you read these two posts:
 - Project: Silent Synology DS207+ – PART ONE
 - Project: Silent Synology DS207+ – PART TWO

In this final part I have only done one thing – changed the fan. And guess what… I solved my last problem with the noise-level!

The fan I put in the DiskStation was the PAPST 612F/2L, 60x60x15, 16dB(A). I could not find any supplier in Denmark having the fan, so I was forced to purchase it from a foreign country instead. I bougt the fan from Kustom PCs. You can find the fan here: http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_2558.html

I also bought some extra cable to connect the fan with and some Rubber anti-vibe mat for a 60mm fan.

Because of my earlier mistake on breaking the three pins on the Synology-board I had to solder the extra connecter-cable to the three pins. That way I can change the fan without having to solder it on everytime.

I will not do a step-by-step guide as it is practially already explained how to change the fan in my PART ONE. I have attached some pictures to this post showing you “step-by-step” how I did the change.

I have been running with this new fan for a couple of weeks and I am very happy about the change. The Synology DiskStation is practially 100 % silent. You can hear very little fan-noise, but you have to be close to the DiskStation.

I hope you will have the same good experience with this as I have had. :-)

Halløj alle sammen,

Jeg har i en længere periode arbejdet lidt på en ganske simpel men alligevel informativ hjemmeside for mit firma, kef solutions.

Hjemmesiden er klar og har været online i ca. 1 måned. Kommentarer er velkomne!

Du finder siden på www.kef-solutions.dk !!

Halløjsa,

Jeg har nu skiftet min server, der var placeret i USA, ud med en ny placeret i Tyskland.

Jeg har den sidste uge brugt min fritid på at sætte alt op. Dvs. opsætte web-hosting (vha. Apache Web-server), mail-hosting (Postifx som mail-server samt Dovecot til POP3 og IMAP), Database-server (MySQL), FTP-server (ProFTPD), SSH Server og Webalizer.

Alt i alt tog det noget tid, men jeg er blevet glad for resultatet. Det har givet mig en noget hurtigere servere og download-tiderne er drastisk forbedret. Specielt på GratisUpload.dk kan man mærke forskel.

Jeg har desuden fået arbejdet med noget Anti-spam, således jeg slap for det. Det var et kæmpe problem før. Jeg valgte derfor en løsning baseret på Greylisting-metoden. Jeg brugte noget software kaldet Gld til det. Det virker rigtig effektivt og der kommer praktisk talt intet spam igennem.

Greylisting går i al sin enkelthed ud på, at når man første gang modtager en mail fra en person, så sendes der tilbage til afsender-mail-serveren, at den ikke er blevet leveret og at man skal forsøge igen. En normal mail-server vil forsøge igen, hvorfor mailen så gensendes og vil blive accepteret. I langt de fleste tilfælde vil en spammer dog ikke have en desideret mail-server stående til at udsende fra, men i stedet en masse computere, der forsøger at sende. Derved vil de ikke gensende mailen, og spammen kommer derfor ikke tilbage.

Ulempen ved metoden er at første gang en person sender en mail til en kan der gå lidt tid før man modtager mailen. Denne ulempe er dog til at overleve.

Men god fornøjelse på min nye server ! :-)
