Daylight Savings Time has you one hour behind? 2000, XP and Vista
Mar 15th
Is your Windows machine telling you it is 1 hour behind? After daylight savings time your computer can switch back to it’s prior time. Even after changing it manually it changes back when it syncs to an alternate time source like Active Directory.
When you run net time from a command line you see your incorrect Current Time and the correct Current Time from the server.
After some searching and Googling as to why this one workstation is being troublesome and the rest of the network is fine. I found a update that was needed on the computer. My WSUS server thought it had pushed it out to all my clients but this one slipped through.
To solve your issues go to this Microsoft Daylight Saving Time Help and Support URL here. I needed to download KB955839 to fix my issue. And without restarting the machine it was magically all better! I thought I would save you some time on how to fix the one hour behind bug…

Hack Windows Passwords in Win 7 (Video)
Mar 9th
We as administrators need tools. That is just a fact of life, and that is one of the reasons I just released Bauer-Puntu Linux 9.10R2.
I always have a copy of it on my USB stick, so I figured why not add some tools. One of them being a Windows password reset tool! Using this tool we can easily hack the Windows 7 Administrator password.
In this video episode of Bauer-Power (Which Karl so graciously let me re-post here) I show you how easy it is to hack Windows passwords using Bauer-Puntu Linux!
Besides Windows password hacking, Bauer-Puntu also gives you tools for:
- File recovery
- File shredding
- Hard drive wiping
- Disk imaging
- Disk partitioning
- Offline Virus Scan
Version 10.04 will be coming out soon. What other kinds of tools do you want to see on it? Like a different Live CD/USB distro? What is your favorite? Hit us up in the comments!

Kerry’s Home Made Computer
Mar 9th
The Frustration: I’ve been accumulating quite a few home videos and finally wanted to do something with them. My kids have been begging me to place them on DVDs so we can easily watch them on TV — also, I’ve been a little concerned that eventually my mini-dv tapes will gradually go bad like all magnetic media does. I trudged to the computer and hooked up my firewire to the computer and uploaded the first video. After 5 hours of processing I realized my computer may be a little outdated — I have an old Dell AMD computer that I thought was sufficient for what I’ve been doing…no longer.
I want a good, fast computer. One that doesn’t take 5 or 6 hours to process a video which leaves me quite frustrated especially when we’re all now in a culture of having the here and now immediate feedback. I looked at a decent dell for $1099 that included a 23″ monitor but realized that that would be the easy way out, and also not likely the truly fastest. For maybe a little more, I was hoping to put together a smoking (possibly overclocked) computer that will let me deal with anything coming my way — especially those videos.
My research: Having never built my own computer before, this was something new to me. Albeit that I do have an engineering degree with some (though somewhat limited) or maybe just enough knowledge to get me into trouble. I did loads of research to identify the best price to performance ratio while still getting myself a sweet system. This is what i came up with:
The Parts:
- Case: Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
- Memory: G.SKILL PI Series 12GB (6 sets of 2gb)
- Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V (crossfire ready)
- Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s
- Harddrive: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb
- Video card: HIS H577FM1GD Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express
- DVD: LiteOn DVD R + – Ram Light Scribe… $35!
- CPU: Intel I7-930
- CPU Cooler: cooler master Hyper 212 plus (extra cooling for overclocking)
My next post I’ll chronicle how I set it up and its performance.
What do you guys think of my setup so far?
