I would replace one 9GB drive at a time with one 72 GB drive, let it rebuild completely then replace the 2nd and then 3rd. It will not expand the drive partition but u will have the extra space available. If you want to expand the partition you may want to look at utilities like Partition Magic, Ghost, diskpart.exe etc. Good luck.

Windows Messenger is a component you can reference the ref.chm help file in the deployment tools for the option. Yes you can have Windows Messenger and MSN messenger running on the same PC. You will need to decide which, if any, will auto-start when Windows starts. Why do you need two, unless you are using Live Communications Server or something??

You could execute a vbScript like this: 'Create Windows Explorer Desktop icon Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("AllUsersDesktop") Set link = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath & "\Explorer.lnk") link.Arguments = "/n,/e,c:\" link.Description = "Explorer link" link.HotKey = "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E" link.IconLocation = "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" link.TargetPath = "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" link.WindowStyle = 1 link.WorkingDirectory = "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" link.Save To create icons on the desktop too.

Did you install regional support for the Swedish language and select that keyboard layout as the primary? If not try that. Otherwise you may have to get an MUI for the Swedish language which I'm not sure if they have ready for the X64 platform yet. Good luck.

Can you post your unattend file for us to look at?

You might want to have them consider Microsoft Small Business Server. You will want at least 4-8 GB of memory to run the server, Exchange, and a web server on the same hardware. Disk size will depend on what current usage is factored with a % growth forecast during the life of the server. A couple of hundred gigabytes of disk space should be sufficient. Dual processors, Pentium IV or Xeon. Shop around, a lot of times HP, Dell, and IBM have servers like this already configured. You can customize as necessary.

Maybe try reading this document from Dell. It talks to accomplishing what your looking for.

If you're not stuck on using WMI, maybe check out pciscan.exe from Bart's website, www.nu2.nu.

klasika, You could use the tool from this website to do what you want. http://www.amtsoft.com/securecopy/

No it is not impossible, I do it all the time. Use diskpart.exe, create a text file, eg: diskpart.txt, that looks something like this: select disk 0 create partition primary size=6144 select partition 2 assign letter d select disk 0 create partition primary select partition 3 assign letter e This will create a 6 GB D:\ drive and assign the rest of the free space on the disk to an E:\ drive. Run diskpart.exe from wherever you want with this syntax, diskpart.exe /s <path>\diskpart.txt Good luck.

You could try Microsoft's own diskpart.exe utility to see if it will help you but I'm afraid to get it repaired correctly you will have to format and reinstall. The good news is that using the information on this forum it should take less than a day to be back up and running.

1) Please do not cross post your questions as it only serves to confuse the membership. 2) Check out www.appdeploy.com. It covers the various installers, including 4-5 free ones, and application packages that have already been created. 3) The two most popular commercial products are: Installshield from Macrovision and WISE installer from Wise solutions. If you search the web there may even be utilities that will convert your ZEN .AOT files to .MSI's. Good luck.

Your gateway address should be the internal ip address for your DSL routers internal interface, looks like 10.0.0.2

You could use a protocol analyzer like Ethereal, www.ethereal.com, to sniff the traffic it will identify the address and port number (socket) information.

This is not uncommon. The 5i drivers actually don't work with the 6i controller. Your problem is with the PCI device strings in the cpqcissm.inf file. They are different between the 5i and the 6i or 5300. I would try using SYSPREP to run a mini-setup that will incorporate the 6i drivers where needed after the image is laid down to the server drives. Just like you would use for an unattended install. If not maybe consider using HP's RDP 2.0 software to image the server. This version incorporates driver support for the 6i controller. Good luck.

Monitor Magic is a good one too.

You can also search the registry for MRU (most recently used) and delete all subkey entries that are found.

Try setting up your external DNS servers as forwarders in the properties of your DNS server on WIN2K3. Have your clients get their DNS settings exclusively from the WIN2K3 server. I have the exact same setup and the above works just fine for me. You do not need to configure port 53 on the router for this to work. Good luck.

Maybe you could create something like a BartPE boot cd, www.nu2.nu, and use the cd to access your D: partition.

You could also use the resource kit utility, cusrmgr.exe or create a security template, applied with secedit.exe or gpupdate utilities to rename the Administrator and Guest accounts. I have used both and they work equally reliably. Good luck.

You could create shortcuts with vbScript like this: 'Create Windows Explorer Desktop icon Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("AllUsersDesktop") Set link = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath & "\Explorer.lnk") link.Arguments = "/n,/e,c:\" link.Description = "Explorer link" link.HotKey = "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E" link.IconLocation = "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" link.TargetPath = "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" link.WindowStyle = 1 link.WorkingDirectory = "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" link.Save

@learningprocess, Please post the steps you used when trying to create the mirror.

I have used Norton Systemworks in the past to monitor disk space etc. Why would you want something running constantly in the Taskbar to monitor space. That will cause a lot of unnecessary overhead. Unless you are developing applications or building massive packages I would not recommend cluttering up task manager with a lot of tasks. It will affect your system performance.

While you cannot readily convert an .exe to a .msi, MS gives you a free utility WinInstallLE that will allow you to create a snapshot of the installation process that records files, registry settings etc. that are installed and then will create an .msi file to use. You might want to try that and see if it works for you. Other commercial packaging products from Wise and Macrovision (Installshield) can do the same thing but are more robust and customizable. Check out www.appdeploy.com. It is a fairly useful site for packaging etc. Good luck.

It will cost some $$, but you might want to consider TcqRunAs from Quimeras. Here's the link.
