Disable/TurnOff DEP in Windows 2003

Some applications need DEP to be turned off. We can exlcude the process by going to

MyComputer > Properties > Advanced > Settings(Performance) > Data Excecution Prevention

Add the program to be excluded.

To Disable it completely, Edit boot.ini file. Add/change /Noexecute=AlwaysOff. Reboot System.

Integerated Remote Console is unavailable, it is already in use by different client (HP ILO)

You may get this error, if the ILO is already opened by some one. We could aquire the session by changing a setting, be aware this would disconnect the other user. Below are the steps to do it,

- Open the Web administration page and browse to the required device in Device Bay.
- Select ILO > Web administration
- In the Web administration > Remote Console > Settings > Enable "Remote Console Acquire" > Apply

This sould enable you to take control.

Happy Administration :)

Wifi-ADHoc support in Android

wifi connectivity using AP mode and GPRS works great

This post is related to enabling Wifi-ADHoc support in android 1.5, its simple and it works great. I tried this in HTC hero, i beleive it should be same for other make.

- Your phone should be rooted. Take a look at this link to root, http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/

- You should have android SDK in your computer. If not download from this http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

- We need to edit 2 files "tiwlan.ini" & "wpa_supplicant.conf". Ensure you take the backup of these files before editing.

- Pull the both the files from the mobile to the computer, this would be easy for editing.

adb pull /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini tiwlan.ini
adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf

- Edit the file as below
* In twilan.ini file set WiFiAdhoc = 1 (Will be 0 by default)
* Add the below 2 lines to the file
dot11DesiredSSID = Android (Wifi adhoc name configured in the computer)
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0

* In wpa_supplicant.conf, replace the contents with the below.
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="android"
scan_ssid=1
mode=1
key_mgmt=NONE
}

- Restart Wifi, it should detect your wifiadhoc networks.

Enjoy & have fun!
