  1. the spoolsv error <- can you be a bit more specific ? gr /\/\o\/\/
  2. try SubInAcl (for options read the doc, there are just 2 many to explain here) gr /\/\o\/\/
  3. @Strange_Chars I think there are 2 main issues (as mentioned in this Thread before) 1) Does Setup see the disk (can you select it in the setupscreen) 2) Does the GUI-part start (or do you get "inaccessable Boot-device") so if 1) is Yes, just select it and see if setup will continue;) gr /\/\o\/\/
  4. the WM_SETTINGCHANGE message is used to to refresh the windowssettings, (as set in the registry e.g. system variables) but I can't get it working with the Quick Launch (I see the Languagebar refreshing but not the Quick Launch) my guess is that the quick launch is not listening I did past the code I used below ( taking the risk of getting moved to a programming tread ) maybe it will set someone on the track (sending to "quick launch" window directly ?) I'm outa options gr /\/\o\/\/ Declare Auto Function SendMessageTimeout Lib "User32" ( _ ByVal hWnd As Integer, _ ByVal Msg As UInt32, _ ByVal wParam As Integer, _ ByVal lParam As Integer, _ ByVal fuFlags As UInt32, _ ByVal uTimeout As UInt32, _ ByRef lpdwResult As IntPtr _ ) As Long Private Const HWND_BROADCAST = &HFFFF& Private Const WM_SETTINGCHANGE = &H1A Private Const SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG = &H2 Public Sub EnvRefresh ( ) Dim dwResult As IntPtr ' SendMessageTimeout(HWND_BROADCAST, _ Convert.ToUInt32(WM_SETTINGCHANGE), _ 0, 0, _ Convert.ToUInt32(SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG), _ Convert.ToUInt32(5000), _ dwResult) MsgBox(dwResult)
  5. you can clearthe regkeys in your unattended scripts, and put them back afther the manual action gr /\/\o\/\/
  6. Set the backgroundcolor for the default user (or copy a fresh one over it) gr /\/\o\/\/
  7. aahh, another step in the right direction, thx again roger I did figure out some more info : 0c,00,00,00,08,00,00,00,02 < -------------- the setting we do want is at the 8th Byte -| (2 in my case) possible are (as far as i know) 1 = disabled 2 = Off 3 = On I did write a .net snapplet that will only change the 8th Byte, and keeps the rest the same(even remote, if i will manage the update). that does work now, next thing to tackle is the update, I think there is an API to broadcast an update request to all windows, i did use that once for setting System-variables. b.t.w. there is in the HKLM also a reg-entry "default desktop" that will set it right for a new user. gr /\/\o\/\/ the part of the snappet, for whos interested : Dim MyReg As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive.CurrentUser, "YourPuter") Dim MyRegKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey MyRegKey = MyReg.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop\", True) Dim a As Byte() a = MyRegKey.GetValue("TaskbarWinXP") a(8) = 3 ' <- value to make selectable (removed for readability) MyRegKey.SetValue("TaskbarWinXP", a)
  8. there is also Msicuu.exe (Windows Installer Cleanup Utility) for this kind of problems, its in the w2k3 support tools. (i think it used to be a RK-tool in w2k but not sure.) gr /\/\o\/\/
  9. when you don't use a CALL statement, the command will wait (you don't get an extra commandwindow.) yust put the command that you need to process in serial in 1 batch file start will open a NEW commandwindow gr /\/\o\/\/
  10. you will have to import the disk if it is dynamic, or else you will need to write a signature you can do this from diskmanagement gr /\/\o\/\/
  11. for the WAIT option, this wil only work within ONE GuiRunOnce-command it will work in a batchfile (no need for START) problem is that they are all in different CMD-sessions, so there is nothing to wait for. so put them in the right order in a batch-file, and then add the batchfile to the GuiRunOnce-secrion as 1 command gr /\/\o\/\/
  12. FDISK will do the trick ......... if you want to be "Leading Edge" use .... Diskpart /\/\o\/\/
  13. roger, kwel Brute force option still SendKeys is mostly my very last resort (Especially in an app.) I was looking to for an option to enable / disable the "quick Launch" too with regmon & filemon (sysinternals) I was watching file and reg. activity .... didn't find anything !!! where the # is that setting ?????????????? someone knows ?? (should be saved somewhere) in the mean time roger thanks for the BF-workaround gr /\/\o\/\/
  14. looks like you are using S.M.A.R.T. to monitor your diskhealth when the counter is 0 your harddisk should fail ;-) gr /\/\o\/\/ P.S. S.M.A.R.T. is an HDD self-testing and monitoring technology
  15. You can log more, but you need to anable Windows Accounting too. I copied the steps below, and added a link to the M$ site gr /\/\o\/\/ ------------------------------------------------- Local authentication and accounting logging ------------------------------------------------- A server running Routing and Remote Access supports the logging of authentication and accounting information for remote access connections in local logging files when Windows Authentication or Windows Accounting is enabled. This logging is separate from the events recorded in the system event log. You can use the information that is logged to track remote access usage and authentication attempts. Authentication and accounting logging is especially useful for troubleshooting remote access policy issues. For each authentication attempt, the name of the remote access policy that either accepted or rejected the connection attempt is recorded. The authentication and accounting information is stored in a configurable log file or files stored in the systemroot\System32\LogFiles folder. The log files are saved in Internet Authentication Service (IAS) or database-compatible format, meaning that any database program can read the log file directly for analysis. To configure authentication and accounting logging, you must first enable either Windows Authentication or Windows Accounting. For more information, see To use Windows Accounting. Then, you can configure the type of activity to log (accounting or authentication activity) and log file settings such as log file format. For more information, see To configure logging. this is how you enable this ------------------------ To configure logging ------------------------ Do one of the following: Open Routing and Remote Access. Double-click Routing and Remote Access, and then double-click the server name on which you want to configure logging. Open Internet Authentication Service. Double-click Internet Authentication Service. In the console tree, click Remote Access Logging. In the details pane, right-click any log file, and then click Properties. ---------------------------------------------- and how to enable Windows Accounting ---------------------------------------------- To use Windows Accounting Open Routing and Remote Access. Right-click the server name for which you want to configure Windows Accounting, and then click Properties. On the Security tab, in Accounting provider, click Windows Accounting, and then click OK. ------------------------- and a link ............... ------------------------- http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...RRAStopnode.asp
  16. Also, a lot of services are standard disabled in w2k3 so you will have less to do gr /\/\o\/\/
  17. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers gr /\/\o\/\/
  18. didn't see you where useing RRAs, if you have RRAS you have to use NAT/Basic Firewall Properties in the Routing and Remote Access snap-in you can set the eventlogging level there, choose "Log the maximum amount of information" the events you will find in the eventlog. gr /\/\o\/\/
  19. if you have got a domain group policy is te most easy way, for a small number of computers you can also use a reg-file the SUSadmin-interface is http://computername/susAdmin the other is the IIS default page
  20. ofcourse marsden is right, but if you still want to weaken your passwords, look in the local policy of the domaincontroller. you will find the setting there gr /\/\o\/\/
  21. is not standard enabled To enable security logging options Open Network Connections Click the connection on which Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) is enabled, and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection. On the Advanced tab, click Settings. On the Security Logging tab, under Logging Options, select one or both of the following options: To enable logging of unsuccessful inbound connection attempts, select the Log dropped packets check box. To enable logging of successful outbound connections, select the Log successful connections check box. gr /\/\o\/\/
  22. you need wuau.adm in the templates container of the GPO ( if "windows update"-node is not available right-klik administrative templates en choos "add templates" and give path to wuau.adm) then it is in computer configuration->administrative templates->windows components -> windows update sorry, don't know that in french gr /\/\o\/\/
  23. isn't using group policy better ? gpedit (Local computer policy -> user configuration -> internet explorer maintenance -> connection -> automatic Browser configuration) did you use the full path to cscript in the registry ? gr /\/\o\/\/
  24. did you try msmsgsin.exe /c (extract) sould work if this file is a MSI hidden as EXE gr /\/\o\/\/
