passive mode
About this tag
The passive mode tag on WindowsForum.com covers two distinct topics. One involves using the /passive switch with msiexec.exe to silently uninstall software like SEP without restarting, as seen in command-line examples. The other addresses a known issue in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 where FTP clients using dual-mode IPv6 sockets fail to establish passive-mode FTP connections to IPv4 servers. Discussions include workarounds and Microsoft's KB2754804 fix. Users seeking help with passive mode in Windows installations or FTP connectivity will find relevant troubleshooting threads.
