Found starup script under comp config - did the trick. Thanks very much

Ill try to split them into 2 scripts and see what happens. How do i run it as a Group Policy computer startup script? Im currentl running via GP under Logon. Thx

i first had 2 scripts one had runas only and second had the main script (to remove games) i used the 1st script to run the 2nd script as administrator but it didnt work so i recreated this script including the runas command. When you see the lineWshShell.Run "runas /user:administrator@domain""cscript.exe \\server\share$\Script.vbs""" this line is referring to the script itself in hope that it will run itself as admin (the UNC path is referring to itself) If im wrong and i can code this a different way pls advise. I added this line but it still didnt work. Could you explain where this code shodul be inserted? Thanks guys

Ok that sorts that but any idea on the other problem? as it happens only when a user logs on and only if they have games installed..........

Thanks - that work but it caused a few problems that i cant figure out myself. When the script runs it does the following (see attachment) any ideas? thx in advance

I have this script which i want it to run as an administrator across a domain with users who and normal standard users set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "runas /user:administrator@domain""cscript.exe \\server\share$\Script.vbs""" WScript.Sleep 100 WshShell.Sendkeys "Password~" ' Uninstall games from Windows XP '============================================================================= Dim Fso : Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") sPrograms = WshShell.SpecialFolders("AllUsersPrograms") If (Fso.FolderExists(sPrograms & "\Games")) Then ' Create file for uninstalling games Set f = Fso.CreateTextFile("c:\windows\inf\wmdtocm.txt", True) f.WriteLine("[Components]") f.WriteLine("freecell=off") f.WriteLine("hearts=off") f.WriteLine("minesweeper=off") f.WriteLine("msnexplr=off") f.WriteLine("pinball=off") f.WriteLine("solitaire=off") f.WriteLine("spider=off") f.WriteLine("zonegames=off") f.Close WshShell.Run "sysocmgr.exe /i:c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf /u:""c:\windows\inf\wmdtocm.txt"" /q", 1, True Fso.DeleteFolder(sPrograms & "\Games"), True End If Everything below ' Uninstall games from Windows XP works fine if i run as administrator so i guess the problem is with the runas script - can anyone help? Thx

How do/does everyone distinguish what updates are required for an administrator to install/decline updates on WSUS? There are normally 100s of updates and just wanted to know which updates i need to install or decline especially Windows updates that are dated from 2003. thx

Im a bit lost here but where did autodefragc.cmd come from or what is it doing? thx P.S in answer to your question i dont think you will have a huge problem adding many task to log on/off. Only thing im aware it may slow down there log on/off depending on the tasks at hand

I tried that and we still have the same problem any more ideas???? thx

I have 2 operating systems installed i.e. Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I want to hide one of these systems so theyre not displayed at startup (when you choose which system to load) instead i want to have a button to be pressed i.e. F8 (or any other button/ key sequence) to allow this system to be shown/loaded anyone know how this can be done or anything along the lines of this? Cheers

Over the last few days random users have their mapped drives disconnecting with no apparent reason. Ive checked the logs and nothing is mentioned why this occurs - anyone got any ideas? if you require further info please let me know. thanks p.s. Windows server 2003 and WinXP SP2 (clients) with some Win 2000 pro clients

Ok thats a good start but im not sure what all the bars mean and how tosay whats good/bad. I dont think this does network performance or am i wrong>?

Im creating some questions for an interview and just wondering what questions you all would ask if your testing someones knowledge in Windows server and Exchange server? Just to ensure they have the relevant skills in those 2 topics. Could you also provide your answers if you do have questions. Thanks

Are there any internal tools within WS2003 that allows me to monitor the servers performance? if so please advise. Thanks

Ive managed to block certain sites that we do not want users to access but this doesnt stop them from downloading .exe applications. Anyone know how to block these file types if were using ISA server 2004. Thanks

Thanks. 1. I tried to drag a member server which is not a domain controller but it allowed me - i dont have dcpromo set up on it - so how come it let me drag it? 4. Could you give me a brief example please? I have subnet mask 255.255.255.0 with users having a range of IP addresses 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.50 so how could i use it if i had another set of users (about 10) and what would i benefit from? Thanks again for your help

1. I have a member server (my understanding is a member server is a WS 2003 (or 2000) that has been joined to the domain). This member server is currently in the computers container in AD - there is another container called Domain Controllers - What woudl happen if i drag this WS2003 member server to the domain controllers container - what could i do or not do? 2. Is ISA Server best to be part of a domain or outside of the domain? Main purpose would be to allow users to access the internet via conditions we have set? 3. What is the point of using Sharepoint (free version)? How would it benefit our organisation of 200+ users? 4. What is the point of a subnet mask? Thanks in advance

Never mind i deleted the Thumbs file and restarted - problem solved

I have all the folders redirected to the server i.e. My Documents. Suddenly when users now log on they see a shortcut appearing rather than the usual folder thumbnail - any ideas why or how to overcome this? thanks

I would like to audit a specific folder to see who tries to access it and write to it etc etc - is this possible? if so how? thanks

Im relatively new to exchange in some parts (i.e. administrating) does anyone know any websites or articles which can help me get to know some of the certain parts of exchange i.e. basics or resolving minor queries that occur?? i mean anything to read upon the basics would be cool. thanks

I want to set up a server with AD. I also want to use a router with DNS and DHCP configured on the server - can anyone give me their recommendations on this scenario? i.e. install WS2003 - install DCpromo (installs DNS automatically) and then DHCP?? What is the purpose of DHCP? can someone give me a simple example of when it is used and the advantage/disadvantage? thanks

Thanks ill try this tomorrow and report back - im using Outlook 2003 (pro).

Im using Exchange 2003 and Windows Server 2003. When i try to set up a client machine with a user that has email i constantly get "The name could not be resolved. The action can not be completed". Ive read a few MS articles and made 1 registry change which doesnt fix the problem and checked System Manager for security credentials. Any more ideas?

Thanks everyone!! ill look at the links and sites you have mentioned but not sure if im asking a question that will be answered by me reading one of those links or not so ill ask anyway........ As ive installed Exchange successfully usually in AD once you get into the properties of a user you would usually have Exchange tabs to play with. These dont appear so im thinking is this something i have to configure or have i missed out something? thx
