This is out of my league in terms of knowledge, as I don't know the way Unix security is implemented too well but I will say this, syncing Windows permissions to Unix will be easy, just group the write permissions into Windows into a write permission on Unix, the other way though is going to be considerably hard unless you start working with the Unix version of extended attributes, which I certainly don't know about.

For information on the Windows Security system, and how ACLs work, then the Windows Internals 6th Edition books will be your best bet, Mark Russinovich, David Solomon and Alex Ionescu practically know the OS inside and out and they are a great read for learning more about the insides of Windows. Security is in part 1 chapter 6 on page 509 or 487 depending on your reader, but it helps to read through both just in case there are some additional details listed elsewhere.

I've linked the books below on the US version of Amazon, if you are in a different country it should be available using the search box on their, additionally you can probably

Part 1: http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Internals-Edition-Developer-Reference/dp/0735648735/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405718207&sr=8-1&keywords=windows+internals+7th+edition
Part 2: http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Internals-Edition-Developer-Reference/dp/0735665877/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405718207&sr=8-2&keywords=windows+internals+7th+edition

Additionally I think Russinovich has a public email that you can contact him on to discuss stuff if you like. Apologies that I couldn't help a bit more but like I said, the requirements are far beyond my scope of knowledge.

Man, we have a lot of shills here, for god's sake. Mac OS is a fucking fantastic OS, but Windows is too, in it's own merits. Have anyone over here tried to install and run software older than 5 years in a Mac?

​

Well, let's go for the answers:

1 - I really don't think there is much to hate, it works, sometimes wonky, but it works. Most of the problems can be resolved with an quick search, and you should always be careful installing all drivers avaiable for your machine, the kind of thing that is completely automated in Mac OS.

2 - Like i've said, it works, it's usually stable, but the interface is definitelly wonky in a lot of times (like, the diference between uwp and win32 apps is huge. And I mean HUGE). Mac OS is a lot more constant in it's visual apresentation.

3 - I haven't actually switched, but I got rid of my Air for a Thinkpad Yoga from 2015, and it's been a blast since (but I've always had a Windows desktop).

4 - Like a lot of people have told you, you can get a better deal usually building it yourself, but if you don't want the hassle you have some deals like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q3KCY66/ref=psdc_13896591011_t2_B079SLT9R9?th=1, but i'm sure you can find even better prices.

5 - You can, but it won't be so confortable. Mac OS basicaly uses a keyboard layout that no one else uses, so it won't be so confortable with both Windows or Linux.

​

I hope that I was of any help (and sorry for the engrish hahahaha).

The "screenshot" you are talking about is called an image. An image is like a giant file that you can copy and paste onto another hard drive. Later if your ssd becomes corrupt or something else happens to it, you can boot into the windows recovery and restore the image.
Go into the control panel and look up "backup and restore". Once you are in the "backup and restore" settings then you will see an option to create a system image on the left sidebar. You can click it and select the disk you want to save the image to. Once you are done windows should ask if you want to make a recovery disk. Make the recovery disk, and later if you need to restore the image you just made you can boot from the disk and restore your image.
You can find more info on creating and restoring the backup here.
Note: You made need equipment to connect the hdd to the computer with the ssd if they are not already connected. Something that connects USB to SATA like this would probably work.

u/pkkid · 1 pointr/windows

Maybe not Windows XP, but Windows 10 definetly worked on an SSD and connecting via this SATA to USB3 adapter. I would bring the drive with me to play Windows game in various places. No issues at all; Although all locations were using Nvidia cards. Bonus: I was also able to get VirtualBox to boot from the drive as well from a Linux host.

u/mrjester · 1 pointr/windows

For starters, checkout r/ipv6. We have a lot of info on our side bar. Second, I would recommend MS Press Understanding IPv6 It is a good book that I usually recommend with the disclaimer that you need to separate out the MS Way of doing things.

PCI-E to IDE Adapter

This might help if your friend can spare 20 bucks.

u/BillDaCatt · 3 pointsr/windows

No, probably not. I assume you are looking at one of those USB to PS2 mouse adapters. You can try it, but I doubt anything will happen. You might be better off getting a PCMCIA SD card adapter.

Does your laptop have a network connection? Access to the Internet? If so, you might be able to copy files to or from your laptop over the network, either via a local network share or something like Google Drive or Dropbox.

If none of those options are viable, you could pull the laptop's hard drive and transfer your files using an IDE to USB adapter and another computer.

I've got a lot of experience with Windows, and I was an IT major in college but that was years ago. It's a new requirement from the organization that I work for so that we can be system administrators on the machines. Thanks for the input, I haven't scheduled the exam yet but I have been looking at buying this book. As far as CBT's do you have any recommendations?

u/boxsterguy · 5 pointsr/windows

Maybe The Old New Thing by longtime Microsoft employee Raymond Chen? Also dig through his blog archives.

Most other books I can think of are either all about programming for Windows (everything by Charles Petzold, for example), or about Microsoft itself (Barbarians Led by Bill Gates for example). Raymond's book itself isn't exactly what you're looking for either, and I haven't personally read it, but I do follow his blog and if the book is anything like that (I assume it is) it'll be a mix of technical details about why or how something was done in Windows and personal stories about working at Microsoft.

u/TheMuffnMan · 1 pointr/windows

I assume you've already run through all the Compatibility Mode settings?

If it's a 95/98 game then I doubt you would need anything more than a basic VM to run it. I'd recommend Windows 10 + VirtualBox with a Windows 7 VM.

Just power it on when you want to play the game.

Going off of this listing for the game it says it was released in 2005. Windows XP/ME would have been the targeted OS I'd imagine?

Took this exam and passed on my first attempt. I used this to help me study.

u/Emorich · 1 pointr/windows

This is a good idea. Even if they don't support it you can always go out and buy a cheap crossover cable

u/Summons · 2 pointsr/windows

If both systems have fast NIC's at 100 gigabits per second, using a cross over cable would be the fastest/cheapest route. Get a cross over Ethernet cable (http://amzn.com/B000A4AVW8), manually setting IP address's, then just access the share from one system and copy the files as needed.

Windows Deployment Server is free with normal server licenses.

It can PXE boot, load in all sorts of drivers and is really smart. I prefer it to SCCMs version. There is a book on how to set it up, I can’t recall the name of it right.m now, buts its step by step and is baller.

You don’t want to do a golden image that is sysprepped and then layed onto new machines. You are asking for trouble imo. Plus make new images takes forever and is really more dependamt. With WDS your golden image can be applied to any make model and can be confided to installs something (or not) depending on make model or if it’s a laptop/desktop.

If you have a ton of Lenovo in house, it gets ‘slightly’ trickier with the way they store the more info in the bios/wmic. But they cover that in the book.

That Mykael Nystrom really really knows his shit.
