That isn't a bad thing. We usually just have one person doing the greeting, whoever gets to the topic first.

Fast, Full-Featured, Unattended PXE Install
Tripredacus replied to Falkoner's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2
WSUS can only be used in the enterprise. If the OP is a reseller or some other entity that sells these PCs, WSUS shouldn't be used. Also, one possible issue with using WSUS in this type of environment is that the PCs won't be able to update after leaving the network where the WSUS Server resides, unless you can reset the update server info in the OS so it looks to Microsoft's website again. -
Anyways, everything I'm seeing isn't really being done by Microsoft. Microsoft has a plan to use UEFI with the next OS, but has largely left it up to the board/BIOS manufacturers to figure out how to do it. As you can imagine, not everyone is on board (no pun intended) with this plan. Many of the smaller integrators like Pegatron, Gammatech, AOpen, etc have no plans for such things (or seem oblivious to the idea) so if they end up going the way of UEFI and SecureBoot, it would be done by someone else in the chain, such as the BIOS manufacturers.

What is the LocalLow folder used for in C:\Users\Administrat
Tripredacus replied to clivebuckwheat's topic in Windows 7
It should be on every system, but I would guess that it will only "appear" if an installed program uses it. If it exists on a system, you should inspect what is in there before deleting it, since some programs may not function properly. It is also possible that the folder could be recreated at some point afterwards by whatever program uses it. On my PC, the following apps use LocalLow: Adobe Reader (search history), Adobe Updater (logging), a bunch of MS apps: - CryptnetUrlCache - Internet Explorer - MuCatalog - Search Enhancement Pack - Silverlight - Windows Live As far as the folders themselves, the 3 of them (Local, LocalLow and Roaming) : Word Doc file about Managing these folders here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=73760 -
I know MDT can go XP images but I haven't got that far into it yet. I might be able to get into the Enterprise side of things soon, but as far as I am concerned (currently) XP is EOL except for Embedded.

Bart PE recognizes HDD when booted from CD, but not from HD
Tripredacus replied to hombero's topic in Windows PE
WinPE 1.5 (presuming this is the Bart you are using) will detect its boot drive as X. if that happens to be the HDD, then it won't see it. Similar things happen if you boot off CD, then eject the CD, you can't run any commands because the disc isn't present. I was so used to having WinPE 2+ Ramdrive. Not sure if its related. -
Windows 98 will remember the last 4-5 locations, but will only automatically search in the last location. Its a pain, but any time you install a driver (or change your tcp/ip settings) you'll have to keep changing where Windows needs to find the files. Its probably the only annoying thing about Win98 that I can think of.

I think that's why everyone is so critical of Miller, we've already had the best goalie in the world, no one else will ever be so great in our eyes.

IS One-Click-Installer (OCI) silent?
Tripredacus replied to Tripredacus's topic in Application Installs
I was able to build an exe with InstallRite 2.5, but it does not install (or do anything) on another system... I followed this general instructions, save the last part: http://www.netopia.com/support/software/how2docs/netoctopus/installrite.html I've tried both double-clicking and running from cmd. The test environment is Windows 7 Pro x86 in Audit Mode. -
How to download from youtube channels
Tripredacus replied to sangeethar44's topic in Software Hangout
It looks like the URLs where the video is require authentication to get to. But it is strange that Youtube won't actually prompt you for credentials, instead returning a 401 result to the browser. This means that the particular page this video is hosted on has a variable or include within it that has the password, meaning it can only be accessed from that page, likely with the player or some other mechanism authenticating with the server. I did also stumble upon the mobil version, however it uses the RTSP protocol and my browser didn't seem to like that. BTW: the first video appears to have been recorded in interlace and isn't very good on the eyes. -
I am going to think that its possible your WinRE is set up differently from mine. I have not seen a time where the winre.wim goes into a GUID directory. But never fear, at least we have Reagentc now... in Vista there was no such thing and frankly I'm glad Windows 7 WinRE is so much easier. I only had to build 1 recovery partition using the Vista tech and it was for Server 2008 Embedded Web. I'm glad about it and have mostly forgotten how exactly it was done.

Lightweight firewall recommendation?
Tripredacus replied to Tripredacus's topic in Networks and the Internet
Not using third party fw yet, although I do intend to at some point... due to some strange cross-manufacturer configuration issue which blocks connection to the Quake 3 master server. I first encountered this problem with my old D-Link, where if you try to connect to Q3, it resets the router. DD-WRT fixed it on that one, but my current router does the same thing. Currently I have Linksys WRT400N using whatever fw it came with. SPI firewall is enabled and the only Filter option set is IDENT port 113. It should be mostly at default settings, except that I have both bands (N and G) set up with WPA2-AES. I can see that both WLAN and LAN clients all get IPs in the same subnet, so they should be able to communicate. AP Isolation is set for Disabled on both bands. -
Lightweight firewall recommendation?
Tripredacus replied to Tripredacus's topic in Networks and the Internet
OK that makes sense. But as it stands, there may already be isolation setting enabled in the router, because wireless and wired clients can't access each other, but each type can go online.
