http://linhost.info/2010/02/iperf-on-windows/

Server A:
iperf -s

Server B:
iperf -c x.x.x.x -P 5

(Not bad for 1gb network.)

The default test is 10 seconds, add "-t 60" for a longer test.

Error 80070483 sending a fax from Windows 2003.

 Here is the code I used for testing. It would work for txt, pdf and docx but not tif or tiff.

C:\fax>type fax.vbs
Set FaxServer = WScript.CreateObject("FAXCOMEX.FaxServer")
FaxServer.Connect "my-fax-server"
Set FaxDoc = WScript.CreateObject("FAXCOMEX.FaxDocument")
FaxDoc.Body = "faxtest.tif"
FaxDoc.Recipients.Add ("4151234")
JobID = FaxDoc.ConnectedSubmit(FaxServer)
C:\fax>

 The problem is tif file association and here is my fix.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TIFImage.Document]
@="shimgvw.dll"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tif]
"Content Type"="image/tiff"
@="TIFImage.Document"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tiff]
"Content Type"="image/tiff"
@="TIFImage.Document"

I have used this on 2003 and 2008 for a quick one time restart after hours.

ws.ourpictures.com

Why is this one of the top domains in my firewall log?

I had one PC posting to this URL every three seconds 24 hours a day. I looked at the PC and found ourpictures.exe in "C:\program files\RitzPix E-Z Print & Share." This might not be spyware but it is annoying. I deleted the exe and no more traffic for now.
