The Domain Remote desktop users group isn't made for this purpose (it is a domain local group and so only give rights on domain controllers). The proper way to do things is to create a universal group or global group (depending on your AD level) and add users to this group then add this group to the local group of each remote desktop server (or use a gpo to do this if you have a lot of servers).

Here is one of the ffdshow builds repository.

You just need to add a ">c:\path_you_want\logfile.log" at the end of each echo command.

forget about echo command , the problem is that : NOTHING will be deleted after executing the batch file ????????? You didn't understood at all : The echo command is preventing the del and the rd commands from executing (Jaclaz made it on purpose). I removed those for you in the following batch: @echo off SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS for /f "Tokens=*" %%A in ('dir /B /S /A:-D^|FIND /V "%~nx0"') do del /q "%%A" for /f "Tokens=*" %%A in ('dir /B /S /A:D') do rd /s /q "%%A"

This page explain how to use external filter in mpc-hc and with ffdshow you'll get a realtime equalizer.

1: Of course the batch supplied has echo before the del command. 2: And when you copied the commands to a dos prompt, it also normal as the syntax used by Jaclaz shouldn't be used there.

Also unless he's planning to remove winsxs from win7, his win7 partition should be at least 25GB.

I don't know the right syntax for wpi but i know about autoit and you should be able to create autoit .exe compiled but it think it won't work as is: - The line Run('%wpipath%\\install\\Bricopacks\\VistaInspirate2Ultimate.exe') should be replaced with Run(EnvGet("wpipath") & "\install\Bricopacks\VistaInspirate2Ultimate.exe"). - And i'd make a standalone exe and include the source in the compiled script (=> add this line): fileinstall("c:\bricopack\VistaInspirate2Ultimate.exe", EnvGet("wpipath") & "\install\Bricopacks\VistaInspirate2Ultimate.exe",1) where "c:\bricopack" should be replaced by the actual path to VistaInspirate2Ultimate.exe and not a variable. Then you should be able to compile your autoit script with the tool "compile script to exe" of name the exe with a different name than "VistaInspirate2Ultimate.exe" (a good choice should be "VistaInspirate2Ultimate_silent.exe"). Then you'll just need to run with parameter the exe from wpi.

It might be also possible to fake an already installed one or lock (with security rights) the defaults folder and reg entries it would use.

I don't understand where is your problem: - the players should be able to play online from each location (as each has a dsl and so an internet access). - they should be able to play to play with each other without a vpn unless the games only offer a multiplayer Lan support (only old games ipx based should be in this case). Also your network provider(s) should be able to link all your cafe together with something like optic fiber or ethernet but that might be expensive and most likely should be paid in one time only. If you still want vpn, you should look at openvpn. I'd install a linux firewall/gateway on each cafe, then install the openvpn server on the one with the best internet connection and then configure the 2 others to connect to this one. I would use a range of 192.168.1.xxx for cafe 1, 192.168.2.xxx for cafe2 and 192.168.3.xxx for cafe 3. Then i would configure each linux firewall to route all 192.168.1-3.xxx through openvpn.

Indeed,i think i found the page from the code was taken: http://fsymbols.com/generators/carty/ So this is fact a evolved ascii art generator made in javascript and i am not sure what would say its author (Ihor Menshykov) about its code posted here without at least a reference to its author.

Automating install with mouse movements should be avoided at all costs as it can do a complete different thing if the resolution isn't the same (or running multiple displays), if other windows are opened and some press some keys. Did you tried the other method as i explained ?

As far as i know, only unattended XP install doesn't require a key and every xp need activation except those with a volume licence key. But without log or the stop error number, nobody will be able to help you even if you provide more info about your install cd (that isn't an untouched XP CD). If you have an untouched XP install CD, i would recommend you to integrate properly sp3 then all security updates (it already very well documented here in the forum).

It was a random guess as i've seen in some case that vista or 7 or windows 2008 would create a smaller partition than when you would create one with XP or 2003 and i always though it was due to alignment.

As Jaclaz explained, if you set the bios ehanced and sata mode, then you should get a bsod with a 0x0000007b error. And to inject the sata driver offline inside XP, i would use the second link Jaclaz provided.

If you post more infos like logs or stop error (if it's rebooting automatically then it might might be because of a crash), someone might be able to help you but without any info all i can tell is my XP SP3 is up to date with all security fix and still boot (and i am not alone in this case). So it could be anything from an incompatible driver to an incompatible antivirus or a blacklisted key (it shouldn't reboot in this last case).

It think it's the partition alignment which is reducing the partition size.

My antivirus does this for me. Also being paranoid about computer security can lead to something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mXSYz4MiFk

In fact installaware is package installer and you can easily unpack it with 7zip. inside it 7zip will see a folder "data" and inside it another folder "OFFLINE" and there will be also "F01CE79\AD42C1AD" where is stored impulse (impulse.exe) and "F9A70A3B\412A193F" where the impulse packaged objectdockplus is stored (named sw.impulse). All you need to do is to unpack all files stored in both folder inside the same folder and then run the following batch to install objectdockplus unattended without any kind of bother: cd /d %~dp0 Impulse.exe /autoinstall sw.impulse sw_info.xml sw_files.xml /ui2 525068 The batch should be stored inside the folder where the files were extracted previously. Update: Forgot to say that impulse need at least dotnet 2.0 SP2 to run.

If your bios doesn't offer sata/ahci/raid /ehanced/compatible/ide mode then you can't do anything to switch ahci mode. But Intel rapid storage only install if your motherboard support raid. If you want to set your bios to ahci mode (you'll need to inject the right driver), go in your bios, then in main go to ide configuration and set to it enhanced (the manual isn't very clear).

Yes that might be true but anyway, being aware of such suspicious behavior might help avoid hours of diagnostic.

Miss aligned partition of course can cause very low performance and in worst cases could lead to small freezes if paging file is heavily fragmented and on a miss aligned partition. For old Os, it would be a lot safer to use 512B logical sector size hard drive. Perhaps using the software provided for XP by manufacturers would also provide support for win9x (for the partitioning).

You can use an obfuscator (some batch to exe do this but most of them aren't free) or use another language like autoit (which is a little more secure when using a password ). You could also change the code to make it so complex that just reading it would not help "the man in the middle" to understand it.

That's right i misread his post. As i assumed the setup.exe should be in C:\Applications\AdobePhotoshopElements8, it would work with the code provided (the first one) and if the batch is in the same folder then the second should be used.

Seagate also use 4K and should be almost only using it (for new drives) when you read this.
