Enable Identity Privacy causes authentication failure

i reading following technet article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff919512%28v=ws.10%29.aspx explains how configure "enable identity privacy", has following "tip": "the nps policy 802.1x wireless must created using nps connection request policy . if nps policy created in using nps network policy , identity privacy not work. " i confused because cannot specify group membership conditions under "connection request policy" can in "network policies".  perhaps article means need configure authentication method within "connection request policy" instead of "network policies"? any appreciated. thanks hi krakatao, >>perhaps article means need configure authentication method within "connection request policy" instead of "network policies"? your understanding correct. need check "override network policy authentication settings" in connection request po

Incrementar espacio de discos

buenas todos. mi problema es el siguiente (no sé si tiene solución). adjunto imagen que es más fácil de explicar.  quiero ampliar f. para ello, reduzco c, pero el espacio no asignado me lo genera la izquierda de f, así que al final no lo puedo ampliar.  ¿qué se puede hacer? ¿hay alguna solución? gracias de antemano!! hola victorlopez, que yo sepa no hay solución sólo con windows, ya que no permite desplazar los volúmenes, y cuando agranda siempre lo hace del lado derecho hace años había probado aplicaciones de terceros que permitían hacer lo anterior, no sé si todavía existen, pero eran muy riesgosas, ya que en algunas ocasiones dejaban un problema de mal "alineamiento" de las particiones, y el rendimiento se ponía pésimo; la única solución era reinstalar o reparticionar y recuperar desde una copia de seguridad   guillermo delprato buenos aires, argentina el blog de los paso paso mvp - mcse - mcsa2012 mcitp: enterprise administrator / server admin
