Welcome... How about you look around... there are thousands of tips posted. Also, e-mailing you wouldn't make this forum necessary, now would it.

I love Outlook myself... I probably use it more than almost anyone here. I have a customized package installed on all of our client PCs so when a user logs on it uses the windows authentication to log into the exchange server and download mail. No configuration on my part! Also, I link the calendar and address book to our SharePoint services intranet site. Oh, also, my Motorola MPx220 syncs with my calendar and address book and task list in outlook.

I'm gonna say Acronis True Image too...

The 64 bit version of Windows would certainly be faster and better... but keep in mind that most of your programs are still only 32 bit and will not see any enhancements from your 64 bit processor. It's just like a dual processor machine... your programs have to utilize a dual processor for it to actually use both.

RAID 5 maximizes disk space. RAID 1 halves your disk space. Help him with his problem, don't criticize his choice

I'm looking for a way that I can set a PC to look for a process every 15 minutes and to launch a file if it's not running. I need it to be hidden. Windows task scheduler does not work in a manner where it is able to run every 15 minutes. I created a batch file that works, I just don't have a way to launch it every 15 minutes. Just to give you an idea... When a user logs on I want this file to run. I would need it to run every 15 minutes. It will be checking to see if Outlook is running and if it isn't it will launch it. I can't get our employees to leave it running, and it's necessary because it notifies them of any updates on thier tickets in SharePoint Services. It's also our main communication tool. Thank you!

Glad you found the answer on your own...

Is he using Windows XP as well?

Edit: first, you will need to open up port 1723. I'm going to assume you are using Windows Server 2003. Open Server Management/To Do List/Configure Remote Access. Just walk through the wizard and you should be set to go. From the client side he simply need only right click on Network Places/Properties/Create a new connection. Hope that helps! Later!

The Client Installation Wizard uses PXE (Pre eXecution Environment) drivers. These are standard across all PXE compliant NIC cards. After the PC copies the files over and reboots it has to contact the server to download the session SIF file from the server. This is done on the first reboot. If the NIC card drivers are not available at that time you will get that error. All you need to do is simply add those drivers to the image.

Welcome ZachDoty! You just haven't spent enough time here...

I hope that someone can take some knowledge from this thread. Take the time to sort out the truths. Weigh the pros and the cons. Stick with Windows 98... Switch to Windows XP... Jump off a cliff... I don't care. Thank you all for the healthy debate. I am going to step out of this one because I can't possibly say anything more or post more proof, so continuing this conversation is simply just fueling an unneeded fire. Later!

Read back bud... The problem came up when you and your other Windows 98SE fanatics started posting incorrect information about your precious Windows 98SE and Windows XP. I simply denounced the lies and you turned it into what it is...

Windows XP allows me to control who can and can't access our confidential information. It allows me to control who can do what and who has access to the more confidential information. It allows me to give every user in our company the ability to fax directly from their PCs (through the server) and receive faxes through their PCs. Through group policy I can lockout all of the bells and whistles of Windows XP that make it "sluggish." I can keep users from installing programs by use of permissions. I give users the ability to log on from any workstation and do their jobs by mapping their documents and folders to the server shares. It allows me to use the built in authentication to give access to our company web sites and software. Do you realize how much time alone you lose in a day by making a user type in passwords when they are working from their PCs? Windows XP has made my life as an administrator absolutely easy. We moved to Windows XP Pro from Home editions just about 6 months ago. Without the authentication that Pro offers it made it almost impossible to deal with. The technologies that Microsoft offers in XP are amazing. Now, if you are a home user and that's what you wish to stay, then I could care less what you use... If you were to walk into a big corporation and said "OK, let's push Windows 98SE company wide!" you would get laughed at and escorted to the door. For home users I still think they should use Windows XP. If you have a family it gives you the ability to control what your children do on your computer and what they install. It gives you all the added features that just aren't available with Windows 98SE. Now, will Windows 98 do the trick for most home users? Absolutely. I am just a technology nut and I know that Windows XP just has a lot more to offer. For businesses you are an absolute FOOL if you run your business with Windows 98. You put yourself in a bad spot and open for lawsuits. Windows 98 does not offer you the ability to protect any of our company or client data. If you are a one man shop maybe... if you have a network then you better get to upgrading. We can keep going back and forth... me with my proof and experience... you with your lies and lack of proof... but the truth will prevail. You can candy coat Windows 98 any way you want, but chocolate flavored crap is still crap!

Welcome! I will try not to hold it against you that you are Canadian... HAHA, jk. Think you could ship me a case of Molson XXX?

Thank you Asky. Not just siding with me because I'm a mod, are ya?

It all goes back to a "Properly installed and configured Windows XP PC" If you have having so many issues then maybe it's not the OS... Maybe it's the user...

BUT, you are not running the Remote Desktop Server component. You may be able to run the client, but not the server. You will NEVER be able to run the server. Also, you didn't need to take it from SP2, you can download the client right off of Microsoft's website. You have been able to for years. I think you are wrong. It certainly crashes MORE than a properly installed and configured Windows XP PC. Find me a reputable study that proves otherwise...

yeah... type Fdisk c:/s You can script Fdisk by running through it once and answering any prompts, and then creating a text file with each answer one per line. Save it and then run FDISK c:/s | file.txt later

Wish I still had it... sorry It's been quite some time.

Keep it clean guys I love Microsoft and I still call it M$

Another great program is Acronis True Image. http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ This program is not only great for that, but is an excelent tool to replace any backup software.

You could change the color by jacking with your monitor settings... hehe... other than that, what MCT said. Post some error codes, we might be able to help.

Here's some other information you may find useful. I spent 2 years of my life working with RIS. Here's a post I made on another site some time ago. http://forum.osnn.net/showpost.php?p=361286&postcount=2 Hope you find it useful. Later!
