To find out Windows Server Name using IP

Goto Command Prompt (Start > Run > cmd>

C:> nbtstat -A  <<ip address>>

(remember upper case A)

Note (added on mar 31st)

this works on all versions of windows

In a multi user environment you may see this message when other users forget to disconnect their connection.

To override this problem, you can use the following command from command prompt

START > RUN > mstsc /console

(some services may fail when you login this way.)

After logging in, goto Terminal Services and delete/remove the idle sessions.

Logoff and then connect the normal way.

With all the dual core processors and 1+ GB RAM Microsoft VISTA didn’t perform as expected.

Later I found out the default power setting in the “Power Saver” plan limits the CPU to 50 percent.

To improve the speed

Open the Power Options from Control panel and change it to “High Performance” to give it full throttle.

If you are a developer / power user who uses 2000 / XP professional  you need to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.

Even though Vista Home Premium has IIS it doesn’t support (or features enabled) in home premium edition.

For ex: If you want to see Local User Groups  (Admin tools, Comp mgt) you can not see that in Home Premium. Its available in Ultimate edition.

Restart your PC in Safe Mode with Networking from boot menu (press f8 when compter starts)

Log onto personal account with admin access.

goto command prompt (start > run > cmd)

type

net user administrator /active

This should enable admin account.
