Summary: A dongle is a tiny device that plugs into a computer. Read on, and we'll show you what precisely a dongle is, as well as other detail information about dongle. Definition A dongle is a tiny piece of computer hardware that enables users to connect to ports on other devices. The dongle can then provide additional functionality for connected devices. There are one or more ports in a dongle that allows users to plug more devices into a computer simultaneously. It typically connects to a PC via parallel ports, though you can also use the ADB port in your Mac. A dongle delivers all the data through the ports to which it connects so that these ports can be used for other purposes. It is common to connect several dongles to a single port. In computing, this term was synonymous with the software protection dongle, which is a device to protect content from access and replication. Since then, the term of dongle has been applied to other forms of devices with similar form factors. Such as adapters that convert ports to handle different kinds of connectors, standard USB wireless adapters, and tiny form-factor digital media players plugged into HDMI...

Summary: This article aims to briefly introduce Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO), and 5 FSMO roles in Active Directory. What Is FSMO? FSMO, short for Flexible Single Master Operations, is a feature of the Microsoft Activity Directory (AD). But the term FSMO had been deprecated as of 2005 in favour of the operations masters. FSMO is a dedicated domain controller (DC) tasks set used when standard data transfer and update methods are not enough. Activity Directory typically relies on multiple equivalent DCs. Each has a copy of the AD database, synchronized via multi-master replication. FSMO does not suit for multi-master replication and only uses a single-master database. Five FSMO Roles There are five FSMO roles of Active Directory, two are enterprise-level (that is, one per Forest) and three are domain-level (that is, one per domain). Per-Forest Roles The two roles are unique at the forest level, and both of them locate in the forest root domain. Schema Master This role enables schema changes to be replicated to all other domain controllers in the Forest. However, the Schema Master role rarely does any work because the schema of the Active Directory rarely changes. This role typically participates in deploying Exchange Server...

Summary: Now, most Windows installations are 64-bit, so most people are using 64-bit operating systems and applications. On a 64-bit operating system, people can run 32-bit and 64-bit programs, while on a 32-bit installation, people can only run 32-bit programs. How to tell if an application is 32-bit or 64-bit? Look here for practical methods. Firstly, we have to know which version of Windows you are using. As mentioned above, if you use a 32-bit version of Windows, all installed applications are also 32-bit. 64-bit applications cannot be installed and used on a 32-bit operating system. However, if you use a 64-bit version of Windows, you can install and use 32-bit and 64-bit applications. Is it possible to upgrade 32-bit apps to 64-bit? The answer is impossible. We cannot upgrade a 32-bit program to 64-bit and vice versa. We have to uninstall the 32-bit program and install the 64-bit one, if available. Let's take a look at how to find out if a program is 32 or 64-bit on windows 10. Method 1. Via Task Manager Step 1: Right-click space on the taskbar and select Task Manager to open it. Step 2: Click the Details tab, and then right-click a...
