What is the purpose to add a video or sound driver to WinPE? If you don't want the driver actually in the image, you can run it manually with drvload. I use this for testing, or as a stop-gap until the actual boot image is updated.

Well once you accept, it doesn't show up again.

Chipset drivers aren't needed. I've only added LAN and mass storage drivers to PE. I do not agree with the approach of just adding everything you can find into an image. I would only add what is required by the hardware you are servicing.

It depends on the contents of the WIM file you are using. If it contains registry hives (as a system image would) then they will overwrite. Imagex was primarily used to lay down an OS into a blank disk.

I got it myself using 2 browsers, but also have seen this type of thing on other forums too.

It may be a long time before rights will be given to machines. We are still struggling to determine how to give rights to chimpanzees. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/31/nyregion/new-york-judge-denies-request-to-extend-legal-rights-to-2-chimps.html?_r=0 Now I am wondering if anyone put a chimpanzee on twitter and how it worked out...

I don't think switching from Windows to Linux makes any sort of difference to Microsoft. They do not make any money off existing installations because those licenses have already been purchased. It only took a couple of years of no one buying (or building) apps for the mobile app store for Microsoft to ditch or rethink their phone strategy. I suspect Windows 10 will follow the same path eventually.

I just point it out. You could have zero problems, I just know I've had problems so I decided to share them. Even I would say I am not running a truly optimal or ideal situation, but budgets being what they are you have to make due with what you have. Also consider you are starting out. Most bad network designs are that way because they were pieced together in a disorderly way. You have the opportunity to get a head start on the future by doing it in a way that will be easier for scalability or when issues arise. ESXi is free and is Linux. So one plus is that you don't need to buy a license for the host. It is not full featured and some things you can't do. One that stuck out to me is you can't add external or additional storage to the virtual array. I am sure there are good comparisons out there, or maybe make a new topic asking about ESXi vs Hyper-V or other options.

It is either we are too old and crabby OR Invision does not have a full grasp of what their userbase wants. I would suspect that the amount of their customers that use the forum software that want all these new bells and whistles are in the minority.

Shift+Enter appears to retain the spacing.

I've never trusted software RAID but I know people that swear by Storage Spaces. So I can't really answer that for you. I also do not know if you can put WSUS on a DC, if it can you can just have 1 VM. I know for small business you are somewhat limited but I personally wouldn't put the VM on the file server. As I mentioned before, the OS on the DC is not going to take up a ton of space and with so few clients you don't need a ton of RAM. So the DC's VM can be on anything. The only reason I bring it up is depending on how your downtime plan is. Take this real world example. My dev network has 2 main systems: 1. File server as outlined in previous post. Domain member. 2. ESXi Hypervisor with 2 VMs: - VM1: AD, DHCP, DNS, WDS - VM2: WDS, IIS, Apache, MySQL Less than a month ago, a disk fails in the file server and it cannot be used* until the disk could be replaced and the array rebuilt. The spare on hand was defective and would not work and replacement disks had to be mailed overnight. But because the DC was kept on a separate system, everything still worked except for functions that used resources on the file server. If all had been on the one system, the entire network would have been unusable. So consider that potential situation and make sure you have it in your plan what to do when using a single point of failure.

Seeing my own profile (the template image is set as my cover) on different resolutions, it looks like you can't have just 1 image work properly for everything. The hover template portion seems to work fine, but being able to create a single perfect image that works in all views isn't possible with this software.

Switches (or options/parameters) are used in CMD.

I knew the focus stealing habits of Windows 10 was going to be a problem for people playing games. I have problems with it just using Explorer!

Deactivating a product key is not a thing. If you go to install and Windows does not activate once it has internet access, then you need to phone in the activation. Product Keys for XP do depend on SP, but there may be some difference for Retail. All I remember from those times was that RTM-SP1 and SP2-SP3 used different product keys for OEM editions. There was even a time when I had to write the COA part number on the hologram discs used for installs so that the wrong one wouldn't be installed and the end-user couldn't activate.

I build all file servers with the same format: - OS on RAID1 onboard - DATA on RAID5 or 10 on RAID card (with hot spares) Having the OS on the same array/controller as the data gives you a single point of failure. The OS can be easily replaced, the data cannot. If the motherboard were to fail, you could transfer the data disks with the card to different hardware. If no RAID card is used, this can't be done. You can virtualize WSUS and AD no problem, but I don't see a reason to virtualize the file server's OS. AD for that small amount of clients could run on 4GB RAM on a dual core CPU.. aka very cheaply. You could get any old box and a Hypervisor with 2 VMs on it and have your AD and WSUS.

The most of my interactions on Facebook is I change my picture once a week and interact in a couple of group pages. I can get a sense of what is happening in my local community with the events portion. I don't go about and read much of what other people put on their pages. There are very few people who make good posts that are on the friend list and there is not so much "crazy talk" like I hear many people complain about. Nearly everyone on Facebook seems to be a "filthy internet casual" as can be evidenced by the rampant duplication of shares/posts, clickbait and out-right fake image macros and re-re-re-re-reposted memes. The notion of having to prune the friend list doesn't make sense to me. Being removed from someone's list doesn't mean anything. And don't fall for Facebook's guilt-trip attempt to get you to post Happy Birthday on everyone's page.

Have you tried to see if the shutdown command will work for you? shutdown -s -t 3 shuts down after 3 seconds. or use this to see what options you have. shutdown /?

The preview is nothing new, but it often doesn't seem to help. The only 2 forums that I've seen it used on was here and AutoIT. They never have enough info in the preview to help much with anything, especially if the linked topic has some code or a bunch of technical info. I don't understand what is meant to be achieved by showing a line or two of the linked topic when posted into a thread. Anyways, it seems to me that links are not making previews anymore?

What video card and driver version are you using?

Does that software allow you to add exceptions?

It should be noted the "Microsoft said it would do this" comment doesn't work because 99.99999% of the people who use their product are not reading industry related news, which was where this had shown up. Also, previously, MS said that this would not happen on domain joined PCs, but clearly that wasn't the case either. With such large adoption that the world has on MS products, an announcement relating to this new future of how your OS will update to Windows 10 should not be sent out to industry websites and magazines, or simply posted on social media (which is opt-in to begin with). No they should be putting out to the mass media and having news stories on TV and on radio.

Also seems odd that one of those images Photobucket uploaded to the wrong location.

It was something in the last version (after post liking was added) but it had only shown on your own Profile. Now you can see it on your post and your profile.

That notification thing, is part of the new builds of Firefox at least. More and more sites that support that option will be making this notification. I suspect the sound that is made when I visit the forum is saved in a browser setting as well. And annoyingly enough, even though I had disabled that setting when Firefox updated to whatever version that was (It told me about that feature when I opened the browser the first time) every site that supports it still prompts me about it. Its too bad I let my Firefox update on this computer, my other one (Palemoon) with updates disabled doesn't support or ask about this silly "feature."
