Go into services.msc, find the Intel Alert Service and try to manually start it. It should give you an error there that you can read to get more information. And it will also log into the Event Viewer if it can't start the service and give more information. This service isn't limited to Viiv, but is also used by the LMS Service.

Updates: - The Old Ghostserver got its new RAID built, with no hot spare. 3 drives RAID1. Server 2008 Standard 64bit got installed but haven't gotten around to doing anything with it. - Our Server Lord has been complaining that his RDP session to VISTASERVER gets disconnected. I've been struggling with trying to figure out why. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=124715 - Found out that Ghost won't put images into a certain folder anymore, complaining that the drive is out of space. That is totally wrong. I did a test and can put a WIM in that folder with imagex, so its limited to a Ghost issue. Unfortunately, we do not have a support contract with Symantec anymore, so we are going to just have to work around the issue. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=124618 Imagex.WDS is experiencing all sorts of minor issues, all found while checking for audit events after turning on the account logon failure audit rules to troubleshoot the RDP issue. - Microsoft Windows Security, Event ID 4769 A Kerberos service ticket was requested. Account Name: IMAGEX$@WDS.LOCAL Account Domain: WDS.Local Service Name: krbtgt Service ID: NULL SID Ticket Options: 0x60810010 Failure Code: 0xe Unfortunately, this seems to be more of a generic message that gets recorded, although to be able to turn off the option would be great. A possible solution was to use auditpol to change the logging, but I haven't figured out how to use that program yet. - An IPsec Main Mode negotiation failed. Cause: no policy defined.... - The Windows Filtering Platform has blocked a bind to a local port. LSASS and SVCHOST connecting to ports in the 50,000 range, using protocol 17 (UDP). Windows Firewall is not enabled. I ran a port scanner, but it did something to the server, which it took the other virtual NIC in the team and gave it the same IP as the Team itself. End result was an IP conflict occurred, and the Team IP became the standard Automatic Configuration 169.258.x.x IP Address, which dropped DHCP to the domain. Since the team has a static IP, you can't release or renew the IP. I rebooted the server and it came back. I also tried another program but it was not recording the data properly. Still stuck on this one. Its annoying because there are about 3 events logged every second about this. - Kerberos Key Distribution Center ID 29. Smart Card requirement for authentication is enabled automatically. We don't use it and there is no Personal Certificate installed, thus I can't request a new one. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=124740 - The network upload issue is sitting in limbo. We got permission to open a support ticket with Microsoft using the OEM Connect Channel, but something happened with our account and we can't log into the site... It seems the further I go into Server 2008, the more stuff I gotta fix...

You can run a setup from the WinPE 2.0+ but if you use a WINBOM you are going to need the old WinPE 1.5 or lower. Just call the install using regular setup.exe switches.

I've enabled account auditing for logon failure on both the Domain Controller and the member server. I also edited the Global Domain Policy to set inactive timeout to 6 hours. I will have to see if that has any effect, or can tell me something.

Yes there is. It took me a while to find it also. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/901105

Event Viewer was dropping me Event ID 29 from Kerberos Key Distribution Center. Even though the event itself does not mention it, this is caused by a certificate being missing. The fix is explained here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734096.aspx However, there is no certificate installed. How can I install a certificate (the option to request a new certificate under Personal is not present) or disable this because we do not require Smart Cards to login.

How does it appear under Disk Management?

Here's the situation. I have a Server 2003 machine that a user needs to remote into. The server is a member computer (not delegated) of a Server 2008 domain. I created a domain user account, and assigned him to the Remote Desktop Users group. I set the logon hours to be M-F 6am to 5pm. This particular user only works from 7AM to 2PM. I added the Domain\Remote Desktop Users group and the Domain\User to the LOCAL\Administrators group. This configuration actually works, but there is a problems. The user gets disconnected (logged out) approx every hour or less. The Domain Policy is set for maximum inactivity time of 11 hours (default). He will log in, and work around a bit, then maybe 30 minutes of inactivity, he gets disconnected. This isn't a set time, sometimes its an hour, sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 20 minutes... Any idea as to what the problem could be?

OK I do understand what you are saying. This is the 32bit version of Ghost that is running. While it doesn't put it into the Program Files (x86) folder, its process has the *32 next to its name in Task Manager. The strange thing is that we always write to this folder, d:\business\companyname. It was always just this one company (5 character folder name) but today I am getting this error uploading to another company folder (7 character folder name). I can, however, write images to a folder right off the root, but seem to be having problems going 2 folders in. I will do a test with our Vista Servicing disk (its a non-PXE way to load our PE). Its outdated but I should still be able to test writing an image up to that folder.

Support for this add-on is provided by the developer at http://tamperdata.mozdev.org

You should just be able to set them both up on a network, and share drives. You can ever share an optical drive but I wouldn't recommend it.

You'll have to do some research first, but there is a way I can think of off the top of my head. Think of this workflow: call a program that launches devcon to search for a unique hardware id (DEV_NUMBER) for a device that should return a different hardware id for each build. Store that returned variable. Use a logic statement such as: IF $var = "1234" then set $txt = "path\cmdlines.txt" IF $var = "5678" then set $txt = "path2\cmdlines.txt" Then your next section would be how you call your .txt file, but it would be '\\server\ & $txt' I don't know how you would go about getting the .SIF to do this, but it is just my idea in a general sense.

Can you post me some links that explain these limitations and features?

I have only encountered problems if I did not insert the second CD.

When you press F6 and it looks at the floppy drive, what controllers appear in the list?

The standard key is Shift+F10. Your window of opportunity is after the summary screen before the PC reads the MBR. And that is if you have an onboard NIC. PCI NICs do not always let you configure them without a boot disk with a program on it.

Try to force VGA mode. The display may have been set to a settings above what the monitor can display and was accepted.

I am getting my webserver back tomorrow after being without one for almost 2 months now. I am going to go for a total site redesign but I don't feel up to coding my own CMS. I am looking for recommendations. I have used Xoops and Mambo in the past and I really like how they work and look. Are these good pre-packaged CMS to use or is there better ones? I am only looking for the ability to have a wiki, a meta gallery, support PHP and MySQL. Integration with IPB would be a plus. Basically I need a CMS to provide me the account management. I've written one in the past but I remember it being difficult and annoying. I don't feel like writing one again. So what do you think?

Oh all the little problems we seem to have with our servers. I haven't gotten to post about this one yet tho... It has been reliable for the most part. OK... here goes. We use the server as a file server and to run GhostCast (Symantec Ghost 7.5). Friday, I go to capture an image to a specific folder (ie. d:\business\company1\mini) and Ghost errors out. I delete the files and capture again and get the same error. Symantec says this error is returned when the server (host) runs out of disk space. I check the amount of available disk space. It is 216GB. I test by making a text file in that folder and it works fine. In my hastiness, I upload the image to our low-end WDS. Today, I need to ghost up the image again but it has to be with Ghost (multi-volume with hidden recovery partition) so I don't have a choice. I upload and Ghost errors out. On a guess, I upload to another path (ie. d:\images) and the upload completes. So it leaves me wondering. Here are the facts: 1. Ghost is reporting that there is no space on the hard drive. 2. Windows can report no space on the hard drive if it can't write to it. 3. Not being able to write to the drive may be caused by other things besides being full. 4. Drive is a RAID5. 5. 3Ware 3DM2 reports no errors or any sort 6. Images are at the most 2GB in spanned files (GHO and GHS) Possibly, it there any problems regarding the amount of files in any one folder? As an example, the D: has 8 folders. 5 folders for storing images. Business, School, standard, vista, other. 3 folders have other things like drivers, software and some windows update things that got on there somehow. But, the Business folder has 918GB of images in it. Is there any size limit for NTFS that may be making Windows balk at writing more data?

It will be more reliable to use an unattended setup using RIS and not images. Images with XP should be per-hardware, although it is possible to make generic XP images, it can cause you problems.

I had problems contacting their front line tech support before also. They only use generic responses. To get real info you need to be able to talk to their people in escalations department. Or ie, the people Sin Yee's boss talks to. I can't tell you how to get that type of contact information, but that's what you need to do. Any sort of complex problem isn't something those front line guys seem to know how to help with.

Is it Boot Camp? Or if not, what is the name of this feature? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_(Software)

You are right. They only seem to have a Chipset driver for XP x64... http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/forms/por...id=3394#results

The Asus EEE PCs come with Linux built in.

OK if you are using a batch file then, try remaking using a scripting program like AutoIT or KIXtart and specify the RunAs and use your credentials to install. Of course there does appear to be an underlying problem on that machine but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.
