Windows Vista Winsock Reset

1.Click on Start button.
2.Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.
3.Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run Command Prompt as Administrator. Allow elevation request.
4.Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.

What netsh winsock reset command does are it resets Winsock Catalog to a clean state or default configuration. It
removes all Winsock LSP (Layered Service Providers) previously installed, including the potential malfunctioned LSP
that causes loss of network packets transmission failure. So all previously-installed LSPs must be reinstalled.
This command does not affect Winsock Name Space Provider entries.

Note: To check which LSPs installed on your Vista system
, use netsh winsock show catalog command.

Reinstall and Reset TCP/IP Stack

To reinstall and reset the TCP/IP stack (Internet Protocol) to its original state as same as when the operating system was installed in Windows XP and Windows 2003, simply use the following command in command prompt shell. A log file name must be specified where actions taken by netsh will be recorded on newly created or appended if already existed file..

netsh int ip reset [ log_file_name ]

Example:

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

For Windows Vista, things work a little different due to introduction of UAC (Guide: Disable UAC). Use this guide to perform a reinstalling of TCP/IP protocol in Vista:

1.Click on Start button.
2.Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.
3.Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run Command Prompt as Administrator. Allow elevation request.
4.Type netsh int ip reset in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.
5.Restart the computer.
The command will remove all user configured settings on TCP/IP stack and return it to original default state by rewriting pertinent registry keys that are used by the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack to achieve the same result as the removal and the reinstallation of the protocol. The registry keys affected are:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCP\Parameters\

Setting Up GD on IIS
1.Open up your php.ini file and search for the line: ;extension=php_gd2.dll and uncomment it by removing the semi-colon (’;’). If your ini file was like mine, the ;extension=php_gd2.dll line doesn’t exist. If not, just type it in (without the semi-colon.
2.Copy C:\PHP\php.ini to C:\WINDOWS\php.ini. If you wish, you can probably get away with creating an alias (symbolic link) in the C:\WINDOWS folder that points to the original php.ini file. It is important that there is a link or the actual file though, since this is where IIS will look for the configuration file.
3.Finally, for each extension you enabled in the php.ini file, locate the corresponding dll file in C:\PHP\ext\ and copy it into the same directory as php.ini (C:\WINDOWS\). Again, my install did not contain the dll file, so Google for the file and download from a safe location. I would recommend grabbing it direct from the PHP site. Drop it into the C:\PHP\ext\ folder, as well as the C:\Windows\ folder.

Security Error post Forefront installation on Exchange 2010 (SBS2011)
In a file named "E12AntiSpam.xml" in the
"C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Data\SHExtensions" directory.
Within that file, there is probably a line such as
$(Get-TransportAgent "Content Filter Agent").Enabled
The fix can be as simple as changing the line to:
$(Get-TransportAgent "FSE Content Filter Agent").Enabled
(just inserting "FSE " in the front of the agent name)
