Windows Mobile 6 + HTC X7500 = HTX 7501! Print E-mail
ORLANDO, FL - March 26, 2007 - Today, at the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association's (CTIA) WIRELESS 2007®, High Tech Computer Corp. (TAIEX: 2498; "HTC"), the world's leading provider of Microsoft® Windows Mobile®-based smart devices, announced the expansion of its product portfolio to include two new groundbreaking computing devices that focus on providing users with the definitive mobile computer experience.
The HTC Shift brings the full power of Windows Vista and advanced wireless connectivity into an innovative and compact design that is sure to create a new paradigm for mobile computing. The HTC Advantage delivers extreme portability that leverages the mobile office strengths of Windows Mobile 6 and advanced wireless connectivity in one of the smallest mobile computer designs available.
"The introduction of the HTC Shift and Advantage continue HTC's long history of innovative, precedent-setting devices," said Peter Chou, chief executive officer of HTC. "These new devices bridge the gap between being mobile and being in the office, giving customers new choices for how they work, communicate and live.
With nearly a decade of experience designing and building pioneering smartphones, HTC is extending its mobile convergence leadership into a new mobile computing category created by the introduction of the HTC Shift and HTC Advantage. The company is now doing for mobile computing what it did for mobile phones, adding powerful functionality and advanced connectivity in compact and innovative designs.
HTC Shift
Unveiled at CTIA, the HTC Shift combines the power of Windows Vista with an innovative QWERTY-based keyboard design and 3G-connectivity. The days of compromising productivity for portability are gone. The HTC Shift provides all the power, functionality and connectivity the busy professional needs in a sleek design that is half the size and a fraction of the weight of what they lug around today. Similar in size to a couple of DVD cases, the HTC Shift comes with Windows Vista Business, includes a brilliant 7-inch widescreen touch display and a 30-gigabyte hard drive. Packed with advanced connectivity, the HTC Shift features high-speed global connectivity with Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi. A multimedia maven, the HTC Shift leverages Windows Media Player 11 to provide easy access to music, videos and photos.
"The HTC Shift is combining the power of Windows Vista with advanced connectivity in a sleek mobile computer design," said Bill Mitchell, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Windows Mobile Platforms Division. "HTC and Microsoft have been innovating on smartphones for years, so it is exciting to see them bring that experience and innovation to mobile computers."
HTC Advantage
Developed from the ground up to be extremely portable, the HTC Advantage liberates the traveling executive from their bulky notebook PC. The HTC Advantage packs powerful productivity features into a unique and innovative design that is small enough to slip into a jacket pocket or purse. Based on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, the HTC Advantage includes Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile for quick access to email, calendar and contacts and Microsoft Office Mobile enabling the creation and editing of Microsoft Office documents. The HTC Advantage includes a thin, magnetically connected QWERTY keyboard and advanced connectivity with Tri-Band UMTS/HSDPA, Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi.

How do I install Active Directory on my Windows Server 2003 server?
Windows Server 2003 Note: If you plan to install a new Windows Server 2003 DC in an existing AD forest please read the page BEFORE you go on, otherwise you'll end up with the following error:
Here is a quick list of what you must have:
*
An NTFS partition with enough free space
*
An Administrator's username and password
*
The correct operating system version
*
A NIC
*
Properly configured TCP/IP (IP address, subnet mask and - optional - default gateway)
*
A network connection (to a hub or to another computer via a crossover cable)
*
An operational DNS server (which can be installed on the DC itself)
*
A Domain name that you want to use
*
The Windows Server 2003 CD media (or at least the i386 folder)
*
Brains (recommended, not required...)
This article assumes that all of the above requirements are fulfilled.
Step 1: Configure the computer's suffix
(Not mandatory, can be done via the Dcpromo process).
1.
Right click My Computer and choose Properties.
2.
Click the Computer Name tab, then Change.
3.
Set the computer's NetBIOS name. In Windows Server 2003, this CAN be changed after the computer has been promoted to Domain Controller.
4.
Click More.
5.
In the Primary DNS suffix of this computer box enter the would-be domain name. Make sure you got it right. No spelling mistakes, no "oh, I thought I did it right...". Although the domain name CAN be changed after the computer has been promoted to Domain Controller, this is not a procedure that one should consider lightly, especially because on the possible consequences. Read more about it on my Windows 2003 Domain Rename Tool page.
6.
Click Ok.
7.
You'll get a warning window.
8.
Click Ok.
9.
Check your settings. See if they're correct.
10.
Click Ok.
11.
You'll get a warning window.
12.
Click Ok to restart.
Step 2: Configuring the computer's TCP/IP settings
You must configure the would-be Domain Controller to use it's own IP address as the address of the DNS server, so it will point to itself when registering SRV records and when querying the DNS database.
Configure TCP/IP
1.
Click Start, point to Settings and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Network and Dial-up Connections.
3. Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
4. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
5. Assign this server a static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Enter the server's IP address in the Preferred DNS server box.
Note: This is true if the server itself will also be it's own DNS server.
If you have another operational Windows 2000/2003 server that is properly configured as your DNS server (read my Create a New DNS Server for AD page) - enter that server's IP address instead:
6. Click Advanced.
7. Click the DNS Tab.
8. Select "Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes"
9. Check "Append parent suffixes of the primary DNS suffix"
10. Check "Register this connection's addresses in DNS". If this Windows 2000/2003-based DNS server is on an intranet, it should only point to its own IP address for DNS; do not enter IP addresses for other DNS servers here. If this server needs to resolve names on the Internet, it should have a forwarder configured.
11. Click OK to close the Advanced TCP/IP Settings properties.
12.Click OK to accept the changes to your TCP/IP configuration.
13. Click OK to close the Local Area Connections properties.
Step 3: Configure the DNS Zone
(Not mandatory, can be done via the Dcpromo process).
This article assumes that you already have the DNS service installed. If this is not the case, please read Create a New DNS Server for AD.
Furthermore, it is assumed that the DC will also be it's own DNS server. If that is not the case, you MUST configure another Windows 2000/2003 server as the DNS server, and if you try to run DCPROMO without doing so, you'll end up with errors and the process will fail.
Creating a Standard Primary Forward Lookup Zone
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS Manager. You see two zones under your computer name: Forward Lookup Zone and Reverse Lookup Zone.
2. Right click Forward Lookup Zones and choose to add a new zone.
3. Click Next. The new forward lookup zone must be a primary zone so that it can accept dynamic updates. Click Primary, and then click Next.
4. The name of the zone must be the same as the name of the Active Directory domain, or be a logical DNS container for that name. For example, if the Active Directory domain is named "lab.dpetri.net", legal zone names are "lab.dpetri.net", "dpetri.net", or "net".
Type the name of the zone, and then click Next.
5. Accept the default name for the new zone file. Click Next.
6. To be able to accept dynamic updates to this new zone, click "Allow both nonsecure and secure dynamic updates". Click Next.
7. Click Finish.
You should now make sure your computer can register itself in the new zone. Go to the Command Prompt (CMD) and run "ipconfig /registerdns" (no quotes, duh...). Go back to the DNS console, open the new zone and refresh it (F5). Notice that the computer should by now be listed as an A Record in the right pane.
If it's not there try to reboot (although if it's not there a reboot won't do much good). Check the spelling on your zone and compare it to the suffix you created in step 1. Check your IP settings.
Enable DNS Forwarding for Internet connections (Not mandatory)
1. Start the DNS Management Console.
2. Right click the DNS Server object for your server in the left pane of the console, and click Properties.
3. Click the Forwarders tab.
4. In the IP address box enter the IP address of the DNS servers you want to forward queries to - typically the DNS server of your ISP. You can also move them up or down. The one that is highest in the list gets the first try, and if it does not respond within a given time limit - the query will be forwarded to the next server in the list.
5. Click OK.
Creating a Standard Primary Reverse Lookup Zone
You can (but you don't have to) also create a reverse lookup zone on your DNS server. The zone's name will be the same as your TCP/IP Network ID. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.0.200, then the zone's name will be 192.168.0 (DNS will append a long name to it, don't worry about it). You should also configure the new zone to accept dynamic updates. I guess you can do it on your own by now, can't you?
Step 4: Running DCPROMO
After completing all the previous steps (remember you didn't have to do them) and after double checking your requirements you should now run Dcpromo.exe from the Run command.
1. Click Start, point to Run and type "dcpromo".
2. The wizard windows will appear. Click Next.
3. In the Operating System Compatibility windows read the requirements for the domain's clients and if you like what you see - press Next.
4. Choose Domain Controller for a new domain and click Next.
5. Choose Create a new Domain in a new forest and click Next.
6. Enter the full DNS name of the new domain, for example - kuku.co.il - this must be the same as the DNS zone you've created in step 3, and the same as the computer name suffix you've created in step 1. Click Next.
This step might take some time because the computer is searching for the DNS server and checking to see if any naming conflicts exist.
7.Accept the the down-level NetBIOS domain name, in this case it's KUKU. Click Next
8. Accept the Database and Log file location dialog box (unless you want to change them of course). The location of the files is by default %systemroot%\NTDS, and you should not change it unless you have performance issues in mind. Click Next.
9. Accept the Sysvol folder location dialog box (unless you want to change it of course). The location of the files is by default %systemroot%\SYSVOL, and you should not change it unless you have performance issues in mind. This folder must be on an NTFS v5.0 partition. This folder will hold all the GPO and scripts you'll create, and will be replicated to all other Domain Controllers. Click Next.
10. If your DNS server, zone and/or computer name suffix were not configured correctly you will get the following warning:
This means the Dcpromo wizard could not contact the DNS server, or it did contact it but could not find a zone with the name of the future domain. You should check your settings. Go back to steps 1, 2 and 3. Click Ok.
You have an option to let Dcpromo do the configuration for you. If you want, Dcpromo can install the DNS service, create the appropriate zone, configure it to accept dynamic updates, and configure the TCP/IP settings for the DNS server IP address.
To let Dcpromo do the work for you, select "Install and configure the DNS server...".
Click Next.
Otherwise, you can accept the default choice and then quit Dcpromo and check steps 1-3.
11. If your DNS settings were right, you'll get a confirmation window.
Just click Next.
12. Accept the Permissions compatible only with Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 settings, unless you have legacy apps running on Pre-W2K servers.
13. Enter the Restore Mode administrator's password. In Windows Server 2003 this password can be later changed via NTDSUTIL. Click Next.
14. Review your settings and if you like what you see - Click Next.
15. See the wizard going through the various stages of installing AD. Whatever you do - NEVER click Cancel!!! You'll wreck your computer if you do. If you see you made a mistake and want to undo it, you'd better let the wizard finish and then run it again to undo the AD.
16. If all went well you'll see the final confirmation window. Click Finish.
17. You must reboot in order for the AD to function properly.
18. Click Restart now.
Step 5: Checking the AD installation
You should now check to see if the AD installation went well.
1. First, see that the Administrative Tools folder has all the AD management tools installed.
2. Run Active Directory Users and Computers (or type "dsa.msc" from the Run command). See that all OUs and Containers are there.
3. Run Active Directory Sites and Services. See that you have a site named Default-First-Site-Name, and that in it your server is listed.
4. Open the DNS console. See that you have a zone with the same name as your AD domain (the one you've just created, remember? Duh...). See that within it you have the 4 SRV record folders. They must exist.
= Good
If they don't (like in the following screenshot), your AD functions will be broken (a good sign of that is the long time it took you to log on. The "Preparing Network Connections" windows will sit on the screen for many moments, and even when you do log on many AD operations will give you errors when trying to perform them).
= Bad
This might happen if you did not manually configure your DNS server and let the DCPROMO process do it for you.
Another reason for the lack of SRV records (and of all other records for that matter) is the fact that you DID configure the DNS server manually, but you made a mistake, either with the computer suffix name or with the IP address of the DNS server (see steps 1 through 3).
To try and fix the problems first see if the zone is configured to accept dynamic updates.
1.Right-click the zone you created, and then click Properties.
2.On the General tab, under Dynamic Update, click to select "Nonsecure and secure" from the drop-down list, and then click OK to accept the change.
You should now restart the NETLOGON service to force the SRV registration.
You can do it from the Services console in Administrative tools:
Or from the command prompt type "net stop netlogon", and after it finishes, type "net start netlogon".
Let it finish, go back to the DNS console, click your zone and refresh it (F5). If all is ok you'll now see the 4 SRV record folders.
If the 4 SRV records are still not present double check the spelling of the zone in the DNS server. It should be exactly the same as the AD Domain name. Also check the computer's suffix (see step 1). You won't be able to change the computer's suffix after the AD is installed, but if you have a spelling mistake you'd be better off by removing the AD now, before you have any users, groups and other objects in place, and then after repairing the mistake - re-running DCPROMO.
5. Check the NTDS folder for the presence of the required files.
6. Check the SYSVOL folder for the presence of the required subfolders.
7. Check to see if you have the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares, and their location.
If all of the above is ok, I think it's safe to say that your AD is properly installed.
If not, read Troubleshooting Dcpromo Errors and re-read steps 1-4 in this article.
Here is a quick list of what you must have:
*
An NTFS partition with enough free space
*
An Administrator's username and password
*
The correct operating system version
*
A NIC
*
Properly configured TCP/IP (IP address, subnet mask and - optional - default gateway)
*
A network connection (to a hub or to another computer via a crossover cable)
*
An operational DNS server (which can be installed on the DC itself)
*
A Domain name that you want to use

The Windows Server 2003 CD media (or at least the i386 folder)
*
Brains (recommended, not required...)
This article assumes that all of the above requirements are fulfilled.
Step 1: Configure the computer's suffix
(Not mandatory, can be done via the Dcpromo process).
1.
Right click My Computer and choose Properties.
2.
Click the Computer Name tab, then Change.
3.
Set the computer's NetBIOS name. In Windows Server 2003, this CAN be changed after the computer has been promoted to Domain Controller.
4.
Click More.
5.
In the Primary DNS suffix of this computer box enter the would-be domain name. Make sure you got it right. No spelling mistakes, no "oh, I thought I did it right...". Although the domain name CAN be changed after the computer has been promoted to Domain Controller, this is not a procedure that one should consider lightly, especially because on the possible consequences.

Creating a Standard Primary Forward Lookup Zone
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS Manager. You see two zones under your computer name: Forward Lookup Zone and Reverse Lookup Zone.
2. Right click Forward Lookup Zones and choose to add a new zone.
3. Click Next. The new forward lookup zone must be a primary zone so that it can accept dynamic updates. Click Primary, and then click Next.
4. The name of the zone must be the same as the name of the Active Directory domain, or be a logical DNS container for that name. For example, if the Active Directory domain is named "lab.dpetri.net", legal zone names are "lab.dpetri.net", "dpetri.net", or "net".
Type the name of the zone, and then click Next.
5. Accept the default name for the new zone file. Click Next.
6. To be able to accept dynamic updates to this new zone, click "Allow both nonsecure and secure dynamic updates". Click Next.
7. Click Finish.
You should now make sure your computer can register itself in the new zone. Go to the Command Prompt (CMD) and run "ipconfig /registerdns" (no quotes, duh...). Go back to the DNS console, open the new zone and refresh it (F5). Notice that the computer should by now be listed as an A Record in the right pane.
If it's not there try to reboot (although if it's not there a reboot won't do much good). Check the spelling on your zone and compare it to the suffix you created in step 1. Check your IP settings.
Enable DNS Forwarding for Internet connections (Not mandatory)
1. Start the DNS Management Console.
2. Right click the DNS Server object for your server in the left pane of the console, and click Properties.
3. Click the Forwarders tab.
4. In the IP address box enter the IP address of the DNS servers you want to forward queries to - typically the DNS server of your ISP. You can also move them up or down. The one that is highest in the list gets the first try, and if it does not respond within a given time limit - the query will be forwarded to the next server in the list.
5. Click OK.
Creating a Standard Primary Reverse Lookup Zone
You can (but you don't have to) also create a reverse lookup zone on your DNS server. The zone's name will be the same as your TCP/IP Network ID. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.0.200, then the zone's name will be 192.168.0 (DNS will append a long name to it, don't worry about it). You should also configure the new zone to accept dynamic updates. I guess you can do it on your own by now, can't you?

5. Choose Create a new Domain in a new forest and click Next.
6. Enter the full DNS name of the new domain, for example - kuku.co.il - this must be the same as the DNS zone you've created in step 3, and the same as the computer name suffix you've created in step 1. Click Next.
This step might take some time because the computer is searching for the DNS server and checking to see if any naming conflicts exist.
7.Accept the the down-level NetBIOS domain name, in this case it's KUKU. Click Next
8. Accept the Database and Log file location dialog box (unless you want to change them of course). The location of the files is by default %systemroot%\NTDS, and you should not change it unless you have performance issues in mind. Click Next.
9. Accept the Sysvol folder location dialog box (unless you want to change it of course). The location of the files is by default %systemroot%\SYSVOL, and you should not change it unless you have performance issues in mind. This folder must be on an NTFS v5.0 partition. This folder will hold all the GPO and scripts you'll create, and will be replicated to all other Domain Controllers. Click Next.

2. Run Active Directory Users and Computers (or type "dsa.msc" from the Run command). See that all OUs and Containers are there.
3. Run Active Directory Sites and Services. See that you have a site named Default-First-Site-Name, and that in it your server is listed.
4. Open the DNS console. See that you have a zone with the same name as your AD domain (the one you've just created, remember? Duh...). See that within it you have the 4 SRV record folders. They must exist.
= Good
If they don't (like in the following screenshot), your AD functions will be broken (a good sign of that is the long time it took you to log on. The "Preparing Network Connections" windows will sit on the screen for many moments, and even when you do log on many AD operations will give you errors when trying to perform them).
= Bad
This might happen if you did not manually configure your DNS server and let the DCPROMO process do it for you.
Another reason for the lack of SRV records (and of all other records for that matter) is the fact that you DID configure the DNS server manually, but you made a mistake, either with the computer suffix name or with the IP address of the DNS server (see steps 1 through 3).
To try and fix the problems first see if the zone is configured to accept dynamic updates.
1.Right-click the zone you created, and then click Properties.
2.On the General tab, under Dynamic Update, click to select "Nonsecure and secure" from the drop-down list, and then click OK to accept the change.
You should now restart the NETLOGON service to force the SRV registration.
You can do it from the Services console in Administrative tools:
Or from the command prompt type "net stop netlogon", and after it finishes, type "net start netlogon".
Let it finish, go back to the DNS console, click your zone and refresh it (F5). If all is ok you'll now see the 4 SRV record folders.
If the 4 SRV records are still not present double check the spelling of the zone in the DNS server. It should be exactly the same as the AD Domain name. Also check the computer's suffix (see step 1). You won't be able to change the computer's suffix after the AD is installed, but if you have a spelling mistake you'd be better off by removing the AD now, before you have any users, groups and other objects in place, and then after repairing the mistake - re-running DCPROMO.
5. Check the NTDS folder for the presence of the required files.
6. Check the SYSVOL folder for the presence of the required subfolders.
7. Check to see if you have the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares, and their location.
If all of the above is ok, I think it's safe to say that your AD is properly installed.
If not, read Troubleshooting Dcpromo Errors and re-read steps 1-4 in this article.
How can I install Windows Vista?
Step #1: Plan your installation
When you run the Windows Vista Setup program, you must provide information about how to install and configure the operating system. Thorough planning can make your installation of Windows Vista more efficient by helping you to avoid potential problems during installation. An understanding of the configuration options will also help to ensure that you have properly configured your system.
I won't go into that part right now (I might later this month, no promises...) but here are some of the most important things you should take into consideration when planning for your Windows Vista installation:
1. Check System Requirements
2. Check Hardware and Software Compatibility
3. Determine Disk Partitioning Options
4. Decide on a Workgroup or Domain Installation
5. Complete a Pre-Installation Checklist
After you made sure you can go on, start the installation process.
Step #2: Beginning the installation process
You can install Windows Vista in several methods - all are valid and good, it all depends upon your needs and your limitations. In this manual I will focus on the simplest form of installation - directly from the Windows Vista DVD media.
More on other forms of installation can be found in the Windows Vista Information, Tweaking, Tips and Tricks section.
So, insert your Windows Vista DVD media into your DVD drive and reboot your computer. A black window will appear momentarily while the DVD content is read.
Step #3: The GUI-based portion of the Setup program
Unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows Vista does not have a noticeable text phase of the setup process, and it will boot directly into the Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode.
1.After a few moments you will see the first prompt:
Press Next unless you want to change some regional settings for the installation process.
2.Press the Install now button.
3.After a short delay you're be prompted to enter your product key:
You can skip this part if you don't have the product key handy (read Install Windows Vista Without Supplying the Product Key for more info). However, if you do have a valid product key at that time (and you should have one, we're dealing with legal issues here), then by entering the right key the setup program knows which version of Vista to install.
If you skip it, you'll be prompted for a Vista version that matches your product key (the one you don't have handy at that moment):
4.You now have to accept the license terms:
5.Next you need to press the Custom (Advanced) installation type button:
The Upgrade button is disabled because this specific installation if performed on a new computer without any previous operating system on it.
6.The next phase is to pick the installation partition. Since this computer has a new hard disk that hasn't been formatted before, you will only have the option to create a new partition on it. Had it had previous partitions on it you could have chosen to either delete them or perform other tasks. Pressing the Advanced button will bring up the following options.
Since we don't need to perform any additional task we will just press on the Next button. The installation process will then create a partition on all the available disk space, and format it.
7.The setup process will now begin to copy files from the installation DVD media to the hard disk.
This will take some time:
8.After some time (the exact amount of time will greatly depend on your computer's hardware), the setup process will install updates for the operating system.
9.The computer will then automatically reboot.
10.Now comes a long waiting period, where the installation process configures the system. Again, the exact amount of time will greatly depend on your computer's hardware.
11.After the long wait, the system will then reboot once again.
12.You will think something went wrong because of the relative long time it take the system to display anything besides the black screen, but finally, after a few moments you will note a small colored circle:
13.A few seconds after that you will be prompted to enter a username and password for the first user on the computer.
Although the setup program will let you continue without entering a password, note that it is very advisable to enter a password here, and the best option would be to choose a complex password made of at least 7 characters or more (something like P@ssw0rd or MYpa$$w0rd). Make sure you remember it.
Also pick your user's display picture. This can be changed later.
14.Pick a name for your computer. The setup program will create one based upon the username you chose in the previous step, but you can change it now (and later).
Also pick a background for the user's desktop. This can be changed later.
15.Choose what sort of protection your computer gets. The recommended settings are best for someone that doesn't plan to hide their computer behind a corporate firewall (and even then, in some cases, this would be the best option). If you plan to install a 3rd-party firewall later you can opt to be prompted later.
Note that this setting will also have effect on how the computer uses the Microsoft Windows Update (Automatic Updates) features.
16.Next comes the Time Zone settings window. Choose your location.
A note for Israeli users: Finally! Windows Vista has the DST setting enabled for us!!!
17.Done! You're prompted with the last setup screen:
17. Again a long wait and some promotional screens you see the hourglass circling around, in preparation for the first logon.
18.Finally, the first screen appears, you're ready to rock and roll!
Note that if the computer was connected to the Internet while installing it, it will automatically download and prompt you to install any missing hotfix or update it finds for the current state of the operating system.
Done!

Great value for the price - John Koehler
These are better than some of the more expensive kind I've purchased in the recent past. Very clear, great IR, for the price you can't go wrong! If you're thinking about getting a night-vision scope but are put off by the high prices, this one is for you.

Worth every penny! - Wendy Patterson
This night vision monocular is a spectacular item for enhancing all night/oiutdoor activities, As clear and easy to use as the very expensive ones I have seen. I am so happy that I own this monocular and didn't waste another summer without night vision!

Spirit2x24 - Kenny Urubek
I used to have a Night owl monocular till I dropped it once and it went to pieces. This unit is lighter and though it doesn't seem as well built, I dropped it too and it still works. Not to mention that it is a brighter / clearer device.
