Here is my sitaution. I work for a large public corporation. I work at an off site location with no access to the Group Policys as these are dealt with by the central I.T. Depts and I do not fancy rebuilding over 100 PCs so that MS Office can do this with ORK. I do have access to the logon scripts stored on the DC and the centrall I.T. Dept are ok with me using scripts to make it work. My question is the script would need to skip any profiles already setup and only create profiles on new users. I have made a .PRF but I can not get it to work correct. Every time I manually run the .PRF file it will create a backup profile? I'm I correct in thinking this is the best way to do this or is there a better way? The client are Windows XP with SP3 + MS Office 2003. Please can you help as I have spent the past 3 days logging in and out and joy I am ready to throw it all in.

Looks like you win the offer of drinks. If your ever in my home town then the drinks are on me buddy.

is the answer as simple as there is no AD in NT4 and it needs this?

I've been onto the agency and the question should read "why would installing exchange 2000 on a members server in an NT4 domain fail?" anyone know the answer.

correct me if I wrong but doesn't a members server mean its connected to AD?

I'm going for a new job on Monday and the job agency I've applied through have given me a list of likely questions to be asked at the interview. I'm stuck with one question "Why would installing Exchange on a NT4 members server fail?" Does anyone know the answer to this? I'll owe you a beer if I get the job. thanks in advance tom

Really I have windows MCE installed but I thought it more important to post in the Win XP only section as it is also relephant to XP only installs. I want a program that will auto shutdown windows to standby every 300 mins and keep doing this, even better would be to only do this if the PC is not busy (but I'm sure that is only a dream). Also I want a button to appear to be able to cancel the shutdown, even better would be if the cancel button would appeared over the top of the windows MCE GUI eshell screen. Is there a program that can do all or any of these things??? Thanx in advance.

Tried Wise but it failed on the java installer. What other programs can I try? BTW I don't mind what the end program is .msi .exe. I thought a program that used snap shoot technology would best best suited to the job.

thanx for the reply.

I've been given the task installing 5000 card readers and asscioted software. I was hoping to do this via SMS. The card readers drivers are easy. I'm just going to use the dpinst program and I've already created a package for SMS. The card reader software is a collection of 5 programs with many command line extras. So doing an install with command switches is not really an option. I was thinking about using a snap shot program. The kind that takes a snap shot of the system and then you install all your required programs then take another snap shot of the system and the difference are put into an install program ready to push. The question is what is the best program (freeware or licenced) to automate snap shot style installations. In advanced thanx lads and lasses.
