This was posted elsewhere, but in another forum. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=128772 Do you know if a new OPK version has come out as well?

The Logon hours are a block, not a timer. So say you have a dude in sales. The sales department is open from 7am to 8pm. You set the logon hours to be between that period M-F. But say you've got a dude in Accounting, and they are only open from 7am to 4pm. You set those hours appropriately. If you are concerned about a specific person working longer than they are supposed to be there, you can modify their logon hours to be a couple over than someone else. If someone stays late to work on something and doesn't tell anyone, then yes they might get logged off while working, and thus won't be able to log back on. However if you set their logon hours appropriately, this shouldn't happen. To be safe (to start) you can set that everyone's hours end at say, 10pm. Your XP clients aren't going to be affected by this option, so you might still get a problem concerning them.

what command are you using to map the network drive? what error does it give you?

I read through all the posts in Application Installs regarding the ability to do a silent install of McAfee, but nothing is working for me. I've tried the following switches: /quiet /norestart /f /silent /q /qb Using any of the above switches seems to do nothing at all and the installer goes as per usual. The filename is VSP_121341_trial30OEM_Release.exe. During the install, it is called McAfee SecurityCenter. After it is installed, the MCSHELL.exe has a file version of 7.2.0.0 It was downloaded from their site In September 2007. What could the switches be for doing a silent for this guy?

I am trying to automate some of our application installs, but one script in particular is popping a confirmation prompt, and does not run automatically. This script is a batch file that installs OfficeReady from a network drive. Is Vista prompting these boxes because I am trying to run a program located on a network share? Note, this is Audit Pass, and the UAC is not enabled. The batch file (which initially has a prompt), also runs an EXE file and an MSP file (which it seems to know what to do with that by itself). In XP (SP2 or SP3) I know I can turn off these prompts by modifying the registry for CheckEXESignature, RunInvalidSignature and LowRiskFileTypes. What is the Vista equivalent for this?

I've only used HTAs and Flash Projector apps as shells for WinPE.

The following is only available to Vista clients and newer (Server 2008 and Windows 7, etc). You need to specify User Logon hour restrictions in order for this to work. Open the Group Policy editor. Navigate to the following: Default Domain Policy (yours might be called something else) User Configuration Administrative Templates Windows Components Windows Logon Options and the option to pick is: Set action to take when logon hours expire. You can select Logoff, lock workstation, etc. Its describes it in the GPEdit Window what your options are. If you are dealing with Legacy clients, you are going to need to find another way to do it.

You need to set NTFS and Share permissions on the Server. You access this under Share->Permissions and also the Security Tab.

As noted on the front page, along with my comment, Conflicker is showing up (again) and I've been having issues with it. Originally it came into our network via an unprotected (new install) server that got infected before we got the the Windows Update site. It had then infected both of my USB keys. We formatted that server and redid it and it was fine after that. I scanned my USB keys with our corporate Trend and cleaned them out. Now what is happening is that while all of our systems are clean of it, the remnants keep reappearing! By that, I mean the SID folder in the Recycler directory, and the autorun.inf. As far as I can tell, the virus wasn't doing anything more than make these files, but it is not showing up on any of our scans anymore, but these files keep showing up every couple days on our UFDs. Anyone else having a problem with this worm?

Verify that the PS2 ports are not disabled in the BIOS. erm wait, you tried serial mice not PS2 mice?

It sounds like an ownership issue? Try to change ownership on a file to your account and see if that lets you view them.

Maybe this helps. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments Look at the end of the table.

Doesn't Vista come with the Windows pictures slideshow screensaver? Wouldn't that be the same thing basically?

I'm not familiar with that shell, sorry.

You wouldn't need to open the command prompt and type all that in. Just make a batch file and stick it on your desktop or something. It doesn't sound like your gamepad supports power management features.

It can be done with Swish, and presumably Flash as well, since Swish is basically cheap-o Flash.

I do not use that button. I replaced that function with my own drive mapping program. I use it only as a last resort as the startnet.cmd is supposed to do the drive mappings before the HTA is even loaded.

What are you using to do the file copy? Let's say you use XCOPY. You can use a script that shows an animation while the XCOPY process is running in memory, then when it is not running any longer, it can show a MsgBox. Both KIXSTART and AutoIT should be able to do this for you.

There is a progress bar but it does not work properly. It usually appears as a gray box that varies in size. Not sure why it varies. Some time it does not appear at all. I tried to fix it on my test server, but it resulted in it not opening the HTA at all so I gave up on it.

You can, but there may be tools you can use to get those files also. Look up how to migrate Outlook to a new computer. Attrib is a CLI program that allows you to change file attributes. You use + to add, - to remove. The attributes are R (Read-Only), A (Archive), S (Protected System) and H (Hidden). Most system files are +R -A +S +H. So if Windows gives you trouble deleting or replaceing a file, it may be flagged as being protected. So you would need to run attrib.exe filename.sys -R +A -S -H. and reverse that after putting the new file in so Windows doesn't have a problem with it.

I believe you can operate properly after deleting the file. Of course, I also believe Windows will recreate it on a reboot.

Have you looked into Powercfg? Also you may be able to manage some options with Group Policy. Vista added Power GPOs for Business and Ultimate only. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748940.aspx

Its a CLI tool in Windows that allows you to script Power Schemes. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748940.aspx

Server 2003 (nor 2008 for that matter) appear in the system requirements for this software. http://shop.symantecstore.com/DRHM/servlet...mp;PGM=12821000 Oh, hmm, It appears to me that Ghost 14 is a consumer product. Prior, you needed an Enterprise version of Ghost to install it on a Server OS, similar needs to install their anti-virus product. It looks like you need Ghost Solution Suite to install onto a Server OS. http://shop.symantecstore.com/store/symnas...#dr_SMB_related

ok ok, I was not aware Asus started putting mobile drives in these now. Do you have a CD drive connected to this guy?
