certutil -renewCert ReuseKeys (renews the CA with the existing key pair)

or

certutil -renewCert (renews the CA with a new key pair)

When you upgrade from a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard SP2 to Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2 you may have a problem with memory.  In case you have more than 4GB RAM on the machine (my situation was with 8GB) you have to do the following:

Locate boot.ini (it should be on the root of C:\ drive)

Under [operating systems] find the entry of Windows (it will be something like multi(0)disk(0)……=”Windows Server 2003, Enterprise” /noexecute=optout / fastdetect

and add

“/PAE” at the end

So now you will have

multi(0)disk(0)…..=”Windows Server 2003, Enterprise” /noexecute=optout /fastdetect /PAE

Restart the machine and now you ‘ll see the correct memory size.

  • run “start devmgmt.msc”
  • Click Show Hidden devices from the View menu

  • You can now uninstall them.

Wordpress is a Weblog Software, a self-hosted software.  A web-based application installed on a server, with which you can edit online.  It uses the dynamic publishing method, which means that the pages are served automatically by the content database and are generated the time that there is a request by a browser.  All the content / posting is stored on the database and used dynamically to generate HTML pages on request.  Every change / posting you make, or commenting, appears on the next browser request immediately.  Wordpress provides search function, archiving (automatic), themes – plugins (created everyday from the wordpress community), widgets and basically everything you will need to create almost any type of internet site / blog you can think.  (BuddePress is coming – a social network platform).  Use Wordpress in case you have a blog a blog that you post rapidly and you get many comments.
