how about 14 of them, just in this building.

Once I finally figured out the correct search terms I found four different devices/applications to do this. I'm still waiting to hear back from the vendors about pricing and possible trials. But for the next person who finds this thread and wants to do the same thing. PrinterOn - http://www.printeron.net/solutions/getting...s_printing.html They seem to be the most wide spread provider in this market. cost is approx $600 a year depending upon the level of service required. PrintMe - http://www.efi.com/products/corporate/efi-printme/ Print-4 - http://altimaone.com/products/driverless_p...driverless.html FollowMe - http://www.hpgsc.com/hiturl.cfm?SOLUTIONID=1370 I'll post more info as I collect it.

I currently use the Ghost solutions suite 1.1, but v8.x had it also though you had to create the floppy disk set then create you cd from those, the solutions suite will create a cd ISO. I think v7.x had it also but I don't recall it has been too long since I used 7.x. Definitely did not exist before version 7.

if you have the corporate version of ghost it includes 'Boot disk wizard' application when installed on the technicians machine that will create boot disks for various purposes, including cds. (depending upon ghost version.)

No not ANY copy of 98FE, just like XP there are multiple different license types. and the numbers are limited to their specific licenses.

found this for the inspiron 7500: (may work with others don't know) http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloa...mp;fileid=20393 the Latitude LM and Inspiron 3000 and 3200 had it built in and it prompted you to run it.

Unfortunately, no. It didn't run on the newer systems so I tossed the copy I had. My only suggestion is to search Dell's site for the model you have. Sorry.

When you send the students on break the connection is better.

I've had it work for some batteries and not for others. depends upon how the battery was used. The best recalibration I have seen is done by either built in recalibration software in the bios or dell used to have a recalibration software utility in the days of the latitude cpx that did wonders on batteries.

if you want to install it without rebuilding your image you are pretty much out of luck. Otherwise you can use the SysprepMassStorage in your sysprep.inf to add the drivers before capturing your image. [sysprep] BuildMassStorageSection = Yes [sysprepMassStorage] HardwareID=Path_to_device PCI\VEN_1077&DEV_1080 = "C:\Drivers\qlogic\qlogic.inf"

Version 2 which is almost complete has been completely rewritten from beginning to end. I hope to have it finalized and ready for alpha testing by the end of the first week of January.

Anybody here heard of scripting. This is the perfect case for a script. Have the registrar extract the list of names from their database, if you already have one then get their network id also. If a network id has not been created come up with a method to create one. Put it in a comma separated text file and let a script create all the accounts. create a GPO to handle the required settings for password expiration and complexity, logon hours, etc. I believe that the scripting guys website at microsoft even has just such a script pre-written.

sounds like your source cd has been further modified other than just sp2 having been installed. or you have a corrupt or incorrect hotfix.

if you put the /q back in then you can eliminate the "echo y |" most likely problem was because of the space in the path. the /q will bypass the confirmation.

Only if the groups have been used for assigning permissions to resources.

add a pause to the CMD script, and enclose the folder in quotes, also remove the /q so you can see any possible errors: RD /S "C:\New Folder" pause

change the extension from BAT to CMD

the brackets denote optional parameters. RD /S /Q C:\New Folder

Well for starters deltree does not exist in windows xp or vista. To delete files from subdirectory trees use del /s names to delete the directory tree and its contents use RD /s path

That may be the proposed schedule now but I bet it will be extended. Many businesses and universities replace machines on a four year cycle and it will take more that 2 years to get non Vista ready systems replaced with vista compatible systems. And has any OS actually been lifecycle ended on time? maybe WinME?

Ask your college what they are using in either classrooms or design studios or clusters for the students to use as far as PC/MAC and ask what they recommend, or what a professor in the discipline recommends. You will likely find that they are running Mac for this discipline and that the Macbook Pro is the recommended course to follow, especially if you are not going to buy another laptop 2 years down the road. If it has to make it all four years of college splurge now.

you need to add the textmode drivers for the SATA controller to your windows xp install files. See the unattended guide for more info.

Will it open the site that it creates on the local machine during install? Usually in the My Documents folder

every time I have seen this error it is a problem with a usb driver, and permissions in the registry. Try unplugging all of your USB devices and try booting.

I have never seen nor can I find that CLOSING is a valid object or event. there are a couple of events related to worksheets closing. If you search for close or closing when in the VBA editor it will list them in the top 5 results.
