So I take it that you don't get the error anymore? 0x7B is missing or corrupted Mass Storage Controller driver. Reinstall your chipset (or RAID if applicable) drivers to resolve it.

Just an FYI for anyone who is using this board. There is something flaky with BIOS version 0071 for the Intel D2700MUD. Boards this BIOS update relates to: - Intel® Desktop Board D2500HN - Intel® Desktop Board D2700DC - Intel® Desktop Board D2700MUD 0071 release notes only show this as a change: v0070 behaviour - Normal version, can PXE boot. - Board reports Arch 6 to PXE Server (on Server 2008 R2, this is in the Deployment-Services-Diagnostics event log) v0071 behaviour - PXE response times out, resulting in executing Abort PXE command on the client. - Keyboard does not work (F11 or F12) after downloading the boot rom from the PXE server. - Both PS2 and USB keyboards tested - Can PXE boot if set WDS to boot all known and unknown clients without requiring F12 to be pressed. - Board reports Arch 0 to PXE Server (see above for location) Changing the PXE boot response on the server to auto boot proved that the Abort was due to a time-out in the PXE process, due to the keyboard not working. The keyboard does work at other times, can go into BIOS, can get boot menu, can reboot after the abort with the "any key" or Ctrl+Alt+Delete so it isn't a 100% keyboard failure. And obvious Intel changes more than "security check issue" between versions if the Arch value is different! So just a heads up that you probably should use version 0071.

Ok. I felt that is is better to have the topic in "News" since it is "News" today... Even though it is actually "Olds" but those not keeping up on security may not know about it. But just watch, It'll turn out that one of my machines are infected! PS: congrats on the Patron badge!

7... I can't play facebook games because (for some reason) Facebook says it is OK for app developers to use XSS. Since my browser security blocks XSS, none of the programs work properly. Those games were fun when they were written responsibly. And to think, Zynga actually says "enable an XSS exception for Facebook domains" No way pal...

I hid your duplicate topic... This story seems to be reported wrong in the news. Already this morning I have texts from friends that are scared about some virus attack on Monday. They called it the "Monday Virus". But as you found, it is from last year. FBI took over the C&C but did not know where all the clients were. So they sanitized the servers and let them keep running. Now the problem is that for some reason they are on a time-table (probably a budget thing or whatever) and there had been meetings and deadlines pushed past already. So for some reason they can't just let these things run in a closet somewhere and have to turn them off by Monday. You'd figure it wouldn't be overly complicated to send a command back to the clients and have them set their DNS to auto or something but its probably more complicated than that.

1.) I don't know anything about printers. 2.) How were the network drives handled before? Were they done manually or through a GPO? Anyways, you say you are migrating some clients... but you don't say from what to what. What OS on the servers? What domain (if any) to which functional level? Were the users already in OUs or are they now? etc

What wireless NIC do you have? Is it in a notebook or desktop? What is the make and model of the router?

What was the error? Did you look in Event Viewer?

That's not very fair. It seems to me that you sabotaged your system with Windows 8!

Your XML seems strange. Why do you have multiple Reseal objects? You seem to have 3 Microsoft-Windows-Deployment components specified at the end of the file. Do you really need all of those? There are also a few components that have no objects in them. I would guess (hopefully) that you have redacted parts of the XML to keep in confidence. A quick look: InputLocal has the wrong data. Should be 0409:00000409 and not en-US. There are many changes between Server 2008 RTM and Server 2012 Beta. Have you validated this answer file against a Server 2012 catalog in WSIM? I see that some people encounter this error (mostly in VMWare) when a deprecated setting is present.

That ball is already rolling. In the ADK, there seems to be a bunch of info about how to create help files with HTML5. I personally love CHMs.

Post your answer file?

Windows Live Movie Maker can do that too! Its probably not the best program, but it might already be on your computer and be good enough for the task.

I use the start menu often. I don't typically use desktop icons, except for programs in which I need to have a clean desktop or minimized windows to use. For example, RDP shortcuts or games that launch into a shell mode. While I do have some things in the taskbar (apps that are not in the start menu) I use the Start Menu for everything.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/02/microsoft_research_pc_hardware_crashes/ What is this supposed to mean exactly? Seems to me that this is just a jab at Windows 8 using previous OS data, but I wouldn't be surprised if Windows 8 would BSOD if you overclocked. What about underclocking?

My thoughts on using a different modem not provided by the ISP is mixed. I don't have an opinion on the matter. I am sure there are good ones out there, but its not something I have experience with. But, it is interesting that you are also having problems when connecting via ethernet. Right there would be enough for me to replace the modem/router. Since you said you previously had problems with it wireless, maybe you can call your ISP and complain how it doesn't work wired. Presuming you didn't buy it, maybe they can replace it again.

What are you using to know that svchost.exe is downloading data from Exchange?

Welcome to the MSFN!

Tripredacus, This question may be OT, but what you wrote above caught my eye because I've been toying with the idea of switching to Linux if Microsoft persists in foisting Metro on users beyond Windows 8. The question has to do with the relative security of Windows vs. Linux. Linux advocates like to say that their favorite OS is much more secure than Windows. Is that true, or just propaganda? Or perhaps "mainly true vs. mainly propaganda"? Seems to me that if the security problems attributed to Windows are actually the result of bad habits by users (as you suggested in the quote above), then maybe PC security wouldn't really improve even if there were a mass switch over to Linux. What do you tbhink? --JorgeA Relating to this point, Windows 8 more secure than Windows 7? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/06/21/win8_security/ My first answer would be NO. People are going to figure out Metro and how to bust through it. And my response to this: Of course, because no one is going to buy it!

What gives? Why single out Vista RTM individually from SP1+? It's modern...ish. There must be something changed with SP1. We all know that SP1 works a whole lot better than RTM.

Hmmm... greeting the mods first... not planning anything devious are you?

Well first I would hook up something to it via Ethernet and verify that it works properly like that. If this is the case, you can probably just get your router/modem to act as a bridge. It may have a mode specifically for that, or you might be able to just turn off wireless and DHCP on it. Then you can get a regular wireless router and hook it up to that. If you end up buying a wireless router, definately do some research on it first, since you might end up having problems just like this with a cheap product. For example, all my experiences I have shared here, none include using a router with built in modem.

Does it behave the same in the forum index as well as the Frontpage? And what exactly do you mean by "broken". What is the expected behaviour?
