If you are not sure you may want to create a local account for her to log onto to be on the safe side. You could also join it to the domain log in and then disconnect from the network, reboot and test the above scenario's to make sure she wouldn't run into any problems.

you could always get deepfreeze and freeze the other drive, then when you reboot any changes would be gone.

basically it depends. It depends upon policies pushed to the machine via GPO and wether or not the domain controller is able to be contacted from off-site, via VPN or not. And even if you have cached credentials it could break on them when away from the domain if they are set to expire, or if they are set to be cleared or not used if they are entered incorrectly. (Both situations I have had to deal with in previous jobs) So you should start by finding out ow your domain is set and what policies are pushed.

add them to the new one and remove them from the old one with in the 'Active Directory Users and groups' administrative control panel. You just have to have the appropriate permissions to both groups.

I would say you need to install kb888111, not downloadable from microsoft, have to call them and they will email it to you. Or it is part of the Driverpacks at driverpacks.net, probably also included in ryanvm update pack, and who knows were else you can find it. But it needs to be installed before the audio drivers so that the High Definition audio bus has its driver available for use by the sound chipset driver either soundmax or realtek I would guess.

It will use the path listing from the registry in HKLM\software\microsoft\currentversion\devicepath by default this is set to only look ing %systemroot%\inf, but if you have added paths via winnt.sif or sysprep.inf, or other answer files or methods you may have more. @pantboy - how are you adding the paths to your drivers? And have you turned off the driver signing policy? Running sysprep -pnp will still reseal the machine, if all you need to do is have windows research for drivers then RunDll32.exe Syssetup.dll,UpdatePnpDeviceDrivers should do the trick. or check this topic out: http://www.msfn.org/board/Drivers_CD_Path_...09.html&hl=

download it from Intel at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/scripts-df...mp;submit=Go%21 If it's actually an Intel chipset that should work.

I've had this kind of problem with both word and excel. fixing it involved reinstalling the print driver for the default printer.

Likely to get more attention to this in the 95/98/me forum. moved

to make life a little easier with quotes you can also use either chr(34) or set a constant to be a quotation mark. vbQuote = chr(34) actualPath = Replace(wscript.scriptfullname,wscript.scriptname, "") IF objFSO.FileExists(actualPath & "Install\Install_DotNET2.exe") Then objShell.Run (vbQuote & actualPath & "Install\Install_DotNET2.exe" & vbQuote) Else MsgBox("Can Not Find This File") End If

Your current path will be the path from which you are calling the script, not the path in which the script resides. So say the script is in d:\scripts and you were to open a command prompt to c:\ and run "wscript d:\scripts\installit.vbs" the current path would be C:\ not d:\scripts. if you want the actual path that the script resides in you could use: Replace(WScript.ScriptFullName, WScript.ScriptName, "") which will return the script path location with the trailing backslash.

I get different responses from 'date /t' depending upon the machine I run it on. Some returnthe DayofWeek some don't, all of them XP.

try this: OemPnPDriversPath="DRIVERS1\SATA;DRIVERS2\RAID;DRIVERS3\graphics;DRIVERS3\IDE;DRIVERS4\wireless;DRIVERS5\audio;DRIVERS6\ethernet"

Are you using PCL or PS drivers? How do you want to present the list to the end user? Do your users have rights to add printers?

post your winnt.sif file, be sure to remove the license number first.

change FOR %%f IN (*.exe) DO "%%f" /Integrate:C:\XPCD to silent no progress bar: FOR %%f IN (*.exe) DO "%%f" /Integrate:C:\XPCD /q or silent with progress bar: FOR %%f IN (*.exe) DO "%%f" /Integrate:C:\XPCD /p

in my experience you have to either remove the devices after installing the drivers so that they are redected or update the drivers for the device. Or you could always slipstream them into a cd and reinstall windows.

It only shows two I think but you should be able to scroll down the list. You can also specify the desired HAL via an answer file.

this had to be release on April 1st right?

yep that works. nice work. Well at least on a real machine. I get an error when I run it on VM: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\UpdateReport.vbs(10, 1) (null): 0x8024402C But that might have something to do with the custom install I wazs testing on it. What all would this be relying on? Just the Update service?

I'd have to say the first window flashes up and then disappears and then nothing. all the vbsript processes have ended.

- doesn't seem to be working. Briefly I'll get a cmd window that pops up then disappears, I see the second script being created then deleted. but it doesn't appear to be running. If I pause the script before the deletion of the second script and run it manually all I get is: nothing else happens, looks like I should get an echo boxe with the installed updates, missing updates but nothing. Happens on two different machines.

Anyone know of a repair.recovery tool for the windows calendar ICS files? My wife somehow managed to corrupt the calendar on her computer.

- Nlite and RyanVM used in article on how to build a slipstreamed OS disc. I didn't read the article though, didn't figure I'd learn much, hope they got it all correct. Can I get my article copy signed?
