Vista and 7 used slightly different boot methods to get to their WinRE. I find this great because Vista was a pain to do compared to 7. Anyways, the System Reserved partition may not be 100% required, but since creating it with a recovery partition is required (for support purposes) I never tried to deploy it without one. But yes, the SR partition is marked as active. The order should be: 1. System Reserved 2. Recovery 3. Windows The reason why it boots into Windows and not WinRE each time is because the WinRE partition is marked as a hidden boot volume. So in this case, the BIOS of a computer picks the first available boot volume, the one with Windows on it because it can't see the WinRE partition. The reason to put the recovery partition first, or the service partition even back in XP days at the beginning of the disk did have some sort of reason for it. I forgot it by now. But you can definately have a recovery partition after the OS volume, for example I always installed the SoftThinks recovery partition (for XP) at the end of the disk just because it was easier to do, and they didn't seem to care what partition it was when dealing with support issues. It would appear that none of my Microsoft documentation talks about the relevance of the location of the recovery partition.

A few things to ask. 1. Was the drive you are trying to read the disc in the same drive that had burned the disc? 2. What program did you use to do the burning... is it possible that the session wasn't closed?

If used as intended, the recovery partition is hidden by default. It can only be made active by selecting the option in the Windows boot menu. If you have removed Windows, you can't access the boot menu to do this. You'd need to boot into a PE of some sort and use diskpart to unhide and make the recovery partition active.

So you mean "Source Network Address" has a blank value?

Unfortunately, neither the customers I work with, or myself are in an emerging market. As such I have no exposure to Windows 7 Home Basic. I'd rather just stick with Professional, since I don't see the need to use Home Premium.

Besides UAC, there are multiple protections built into Windows. I'd only recommend disabling these in a virtual environment, or on a secondary system that isn't your primary computer. They are there for a reason... They include: Windows File Protection System Protection Windows Resource Protection Here are some I found using the search:

Hopefully you find something good in our Office forum!

When I used to use one monitor, I would make use of my available screen space like you, splitting up the screen. As far as VMs go, it ends up being the same as just using programs. On the PC I have the vSphere client on, it is a wide screen so I have enough space to run both consoles, but if I didn't have a widescreen monitor, it would be a real pain.

I did sit on that thread for a good amount of time, but since Jaclaz had pointed out the spammer (and the account) I left it at that. Anyways, keep in mind that either us (mods) or the forum itself may end up hiding posts from spammers.

The spammer was dealt with as soon as you saw the post in question disappear. I can remove all the posts about the spammer from the thread if you want.

Heh this is packed with UPX, which is known to cause problems! After opening the program, it uncompresses all of the files it installs but stores them in memory, instead of a temp folder. You can see the memory usage footprint is slightly larger than the setup file size. I can see the files in memory but I don't know how to get them out. Have you tried using the support form on the developer's website to ask how to do a silent install?

Typically, when files are "removed" from a WIM, they are just removed from the index so they are not used. Did you try exporting the WIM out?

Its more likely to do with permissions. When you run it "manually" you run it under your user account. When it is run by Task Scheduler, it is run under an OS account. Try changing the account that is used to run the task.

This isn't exactly the time to get reasonably priced hard drives... but I'd recommend the Seagate GoFlex. Their retail prices haven't gone up as much.

Presuming you are using the stock Intel heatsink/fan, the only reason it should be running full speed on that board is if your CPU starts running hot. I'd get some CPU temperature reading tool to run when you notice the speed pick up, to see what temperature you're getting. I believe that somewhere around 60-70c is the temp that this board will kick up the speed. Normally I'd recommend Intel Active Monitor, but I think it would reject an MSI board.

It should be c:\windows\MEMORY.DMP

The first thing I test is running it with /? or /help. I suppose this is a commercial product where no official download is online for us to test?

You should add some error handling/logging into your script, such as creating a token somewhere (easiest copying a text file) or even writing to the Application Event Log. Basically, if a .cmd fails, you won't see it as a fail in the job history, because a .cmd will always just do a successful exit under most circumstances, since cmd doesn't really pay attention to what you are having it do. If the programs themselves are failing, they would be the one to generate the error, not cmd, which is why it doesn't "fail" in the log.

What is the operating system on the VPN Server? You need Server 2003 or newer to see the IP address.
