The new version of arduino automatic stairs is already being developed and I will post a new post soon(watch this space). For those of you who are still interested in this project here is a draft code: Continue reading LED stair lighting based on Arduino, Part 7

Netdiag Failed (DNS test, Redir and Browser test, DC list test, Kerberos test)

You run netdiag on your Windows 2003 64bit domain controller and get many failures like the ones bellow:

DNS test . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Failed
