So is there a reason for the 2 IP addresses on the windows 7 machine? an easier approach would be to have a second NIC that you use as your "internet" connection for the VM machines, this would be added on your RRAS server and act as the internet gateway. Adding your ISP's DNS servers to your DNS forwarders list in DNS will get you get out to the internet. In your DHCP scope you can add the RRAS servers IP (internal scope for your VM's) as the DHCP gateway.

what OS is running on the endpoints? for XP run gpupdate /r then gpresult on the endpoint for windows 7 or 8, from an elevated command line run gpupdate /r then a gpresult you should see your group policy listed in the resulting list of group policies applied to the machine. If not run a group policy modeling wizard from the GPMC console on one the machines that should be getting the policy. at that point you may have to turn on verbose logging on the machine for GPO if it applying but reciving the settings.

take a look at this tool :\Windows\System32\spool\tools>PrintBrm.exe /? PrintBrm -B|R|Q [-S <server>] -F <file> [-D <directory>] [-O FORCE] [-P ALL|ORIG] [-NOBIN] [-LPR2TCP] [-C <config file>] [-NO ACL] [-?] -B Backup the server to the specified file -R Restore the configuration in the file to the server -Q Query the server or the backup file -S <server name> Target server -F <file name> Target backup File -D <directory> Unpack the backup file to (with -R) or repack a backup file from (with -B) the given directory

powershell has an cmdlet packet for bits http://blogs.msdn.com/wmi/archive/2009/01/23/introducing-bits-powershell-cmdlets.aspx lets you spool up a job, pause, stop etc.

you would be able to get mail at that address yes, you would need to be able to set up MX records with hostgator to point to your Exchange server on your Domain

when you create a image through MDT, it also creates a lite touch PE to boot the PC with, are you using this PE to boot machines? this contains the client parts needed to find the MDT share to launch the WIM install with windows 7 on it.

Nice catch Gosh, i have used their demo software before and it is fantastic!

is this your only DNS server? could you verify that at least one DC is a global Catalog?

follow the same steps you did for standard but for the Enterprise build as well, opening a Image for a specific build (std, ent, web etc) only opens that image. new files added are only given flags to be deployed with the image they were saved into. if you re-add the same files to the enterprise build, the pointers will be added to the exist files saving space.

wouldn't it be easier to do network load balancing across the 2 servers?

unfortunately the menu bar doesn't have the flexability to do that.

each user in this casse would need to 2 CAL's 1. the normal user CAL that allows connections to servers (Ad logon, httpp etc) 2. the RDP CAL to connect to the terminal server and use the application from there.

unforunately it will be up to ubisoft to update their drivers in a patch. since the game was from 05 you might be out of luck

What service pack are running on the vista computers? have you seen any errors in the logs trying to connect to the drive?

the ::1 specifies localHost from a IPV6 adressing point, the local host file handles IPv4 and 6

using a Vlan to connect the ports used by the printer and then assigning the DHP scope to the Vlan may be easier then trying to filter out ever other device on your network (not to mention putting a larger workload on your DHCP server) is there a need too have all th eprinters set to DHCP would it be preferable to set static IP's to printers to make it easier to find and remeber said printers?

nice gosh, this is really useful

When you do an Echo from the command line, it is returning to you the User Temp Variable (see top of your screen shot) while the system temp variable it C:\Windows\temp, the User Temp is %USERPROFILE%\appdata\local\temp.

just a side note, if you are still using 2003 DFS with FRS, please PLEASE upgrade to 2003 R2 or 2008. DFSR in 2003 R2 no longer uses FRS, the new algorithem used is more efficent and better suited for WAN activity

check the network card for any NIC offloading features, if the NIC is offloading to the CPU task and it is slowing the PC you may have to turn them off

i would say first disable any add-ons that might be running in IE, then see if you can get it to crash again.

if you sysprep your image this should be not be an issue, if it still is you could use vbscript to change the bcd configuration. what tool are you using to capture your image?

what is hypervisor mode? do you mean installing the hyper-V role? you can use Netdom to joing the machine to the domain Netdom Commands

it will be interesting to see a USB 3.0 install i'll get to try it out with my new motherboard!
