Group Policy is a powerful yet flexible tool for configuring Windows settings and an indispensable means of bringing together computers in the Active Directory domain into a single configuration. If there is no domain, settings for individual computers can be configured using local group policy. A major disadvantage of local policies is that they cannot be distributed centrally among the workgroup computers. Therefore, the administrator must manually configure the group policy settings on each computer. If there are a lot of computers and settings to configure, it is not very productive. read more

GIMP, the popular free pixel-based image editor, comes with a few decent brushes, but they are pretty limited if you want to do more than the basics. Fortunately, GIMP makes it very easy to install and use Photoshop brushes in versions 2.4 and later. Just put the brush file in the right folder.

However, for versions of GIMP older than 2.4, you will need to convert Photoshop brushes manually, and a tutorial is probably still available. However, it is best to download the latest version; the program is still free, and updates usually improve stability and capabilities. For example, an important improvement over older versions is the ability to organize and tag brushes so that they are easier to use and find.

Streaming on the web is a growing trend. But if you are one of the hordes of hosts that continue to see the warning blink of high encoding on your Open Broadcaster (OBS) software, it can be frustrating.

But where there’s a problem, there’s a solution. This tutorial allows you to bypass the OBS overload alerts you encounter so you can send or record videos with the optimal output without disturbing your audience’s fun.

Video encoding is a very CPU-intensive process, and OBS is no exception. OBS uses the best open source video encoding library available, x264, to encode the video. However, some people may have high CPU usage, and other programs running on your computer may suffer performance degradation, while OBS is active if your settings are too high for your computer hardware. In some cases, the OBS says “Overloaded Encoding” in the status bar, which means that your computer cannot encode your video fast enough to maintain the settings you set, causing the video to freeze or periodically stutter after a few seconds. read more

A domain member computer must be able to resolve DNS with its local AD servers. It must also be able to communicate with AD servers via the different network ports used by AD. read more
