flamer117 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Dont know wether or not this has been asked before - Does anyone out there know how to rename a RM CC3 workstation without rebuilding it. Also has anyone found a way of restarting a screen saver locked workstation using the RM management console. RM say you have take the screen saver lock off for this to enabled to done, but staff need to have this security feature Finally how to make the default screen size on a new build to 1024 x 768 without having to go to every individual workstation. Sorry for this - three questions in one
Hightower Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 1st - Impossible! Won't happen - needs a rebuild if you need to rename. 2nd - Ain't got a clue - can't say I've noticed. I'm sure if I restart a machine using LST it restarts no matter who is logged on and no matter what power saving state. 3rd - Browse to your build server, and the share RMRebuild. Within there go to XPBuild and you will see three text files. You can change all sorts of settings here. These text files relate to the part of the build when you choose: 1) Desktop 2) Tablet 3) Laptop Make sure you change the right one 1
sparkeh Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Does anyone out there know how to rename a RM CC3 workstation without rebuilding it. Sadly not, you have to rebuild. A downside of CC3. Also has anyone found a way of restarting a screen saver locked workstation using the RM management console. RM say you have take the screen saver lock off for this to enabled to done, but staff need to have this security feature Hmm not from RMMC but then I don't use LST as its too flaky. Something like LanView from MST has no problems restarting machines, its free and comes with a CC3 package for east deployment. Finally how to make the default screen size on a new build to 1024 x 768 without having to go to every individual workstation. Sure, On each DC (if you have more than one), go to to D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\RMRebuild\XPBuild and open Unattend.txt. Go to 'Display' section Change to [Display] BitsPerPel=32 XResolution=1024 YResolution=768 Recreate your build disks. HTH Mark 1
skawarrior Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Does anyone out there know how to rename a RM CC3 workstation without rebuilding it. As far as I know this isn't possible. There is an RM commisioning tool but if you rename it via this method CC3 fails to pick it up on the network. Unfortuantly a rebuild is the way to go. Also has anyone found a way of restarting a screen saver locked workstation using the RM management console. RM say you have take the screen saver lock off for this to enabled to done, but staff need to have this security feature Although there is an option to restart even if a user is logged on it won't work if the screen saver lock is on. This is massively annoying as our staff leave the PC's logged in because they can't remember thier passwords. Best course of action is ditch CC3 its what we are in the process of doing.
flamer117 Posted November 20, 2008 Author Posted November 20, 2008 thought about ditching but it is not an option at the moment
webman Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 CC3 is a fantastic network management tool when installed and used correctly - we've been running it here since 2002. We see no reason to ditch it except to move to CC4. 2
sparkeh Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Agree with webman, a properly run CC3 network is great. I wouldn't swap ours. 3
bossman Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Here! Here! I totally agree................... RMCC3 for me! Hey i'm a poet and i don't even noet! hehe! 1
MattCrick Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Sure, On each DC (if you have more than one), go to to D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\RMRebuild\XPBuild and open Unattend.txt. Go to 'Display' section Change to [Display] BitsPerPel=32 XResolution=1024 YResolution=768 Recreate your build disks. This works for display drivers that install during the Windows XP Setup phase, but for more advanced drivers (like some nVidia drivers which need the Windows GUI) you need to add something into a batch file within the driver directory itself to call SetRes.exe (installed as part of RM's build process). Else I think someone on "Communities" have built packages to deploy out at Room level to set this for you... Have a search there too... Matt 1
flamer117 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 Don't get me wrong I like CC3. Just some anoying glitches:)
