Last week one of my servers had an strange issue. After pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE to log on, the log on window turned almost completely black (as you can see in the screenshot).
Google gave me the answer, but I still have no idea how this could have happened.

Since a week, all of a sudden, I had this very strange problem that I could not move email items from the message list pane to a directory in the left pane. I got this error:
“Can’t copy the items. An OLE registration error occurred. The program is not correctly installed. Run Setup again for the program”

I recently faced the problem that I could not install KB968930: Update for Windows XP. Installation failed.
This update contains the Windows Management Framework Core.
This installation failure only occured on a desktop computer, which had Windows XP Sp3 workstation and the Exchange 2007 Management Console installed.

After a couple of weeks working with Windows 7, a message suddenly appeared during shutdown of my computer:
Waiting for groupmanager.e
Because of my intuitive brain, I guessed groupmanager.e should be read as groupmanager.exe. A quick search on Google Bing (as I’m a Microsoft minded technician :) ) will lead you to hundreds of pages remarking groupmanager.exe to be a trojan horse.

When you start your computer, or try to start the DHCP client service, you may receive the following error:
Could not start the DHCP Client service on Local Computer.
Error 5: Access is denied.
This problem may occur after an upgrade from Windows 2000 to 2003, or after you’ve changed permissions in the registry.
