Yeah I would agree with the above, not sure how using the spaces would work, it might do though so don't give up just yet!

The make and model WMI queries will return the manufacturer and model respectively. Download MDT – Using WMI with Invalid Characters | RS Applications and check the results of the WMI parts. Basically if you were to only use cleanmodel your folders would have to look like this: >Windows 7 x64 >>NB200 >>P >>Pro 3300 Series MT >Windows 7 x86 >>NB200 >>P (assuming the model numbers are as above) To get it the way you want, you could try changing the drivergroup001 variable to Windows 7 x86\%cleanmake% %cleanmodel% (note the space in the middle) Not tried it though If you are confused you can try this: Browse to C:\Windows\Temp\DeploymentLogs\ on a imaged station and find BDD.log. Open and search for Drivergroup001, you can then see what it was set to during the last install and work out what path was being used. Hope that helps

The tool on my website (linked above) was developed because of the Samsung WMI info! To the post re why do you filter drivers: Basically if you put all your drivers in one pot you will end up with multiple drivers for each hardware ID. If you want to do regression testing on your builds each time you add drivers then adding them to one pot is all good, however driver filtering allows complete control over which drivers you add to your builds. Adding a new hardware type is then guaranteed to NOT affect your other builds which will build exactly the same as you first intended even years after the hardware type was first created. For reference the scripts MDT Script – Clean the Make and Model WMI Queries | RS Applications basically allow you to filter on make and model regardless of what the WMI queries return. The make and model variables are left intact (invalid chars etc) so that the rest of the build info which can pull information from these variables works, instead as was mentioned above, cleanmake and cleanmodel are created and populated with the cleaned variables for use in driver filtering. Shout if you need any help, its easier than I make it sound!

Ouch, you could write a bash script? Alternatively set up a 30 min restrart timer make the change and if it breaks you only lose 30 mins or so! http://linux.101hacks.com/unix/shutdown/

Yeah rc.d will be a directory, inside will be rc.network according to that post. Looks like its a network init file so adding the command (should it work) will make the ethA device revert to the correct settings. You should be able to test it before making any script changes by typing in the command on its own, it will take effect immediately. /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off Rebooting should return it to normal I would say though I don't actually have a smoothwall box so I can't test or verify this is the correct command at all! Tis the only problem I find with linux is they are all ever so slightly different!

Did you look at that post? It says use rc.network which should be in the /etc/rc.d file edit with the command /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off depending on the ethernet interface you are needing to edit. community.smoothwall.org • View topic - 8139 GREEN_DRIVER_OPTIONS=

do ls -ltr, shows up with colouring etc easier to determine what is a file etc. Yeah vi opens an empty file called /etc/network/interfaces if it doesn't exist! community.smoothwall.org • View topic - 8139 GREEN_DRIVER_OPTIONS= Any help? I think the network configs must be held somewhere in Smoothwalls config files rather than the standard linux ones. rc.network will be a startup script, possibly in rc.d or similar. You can use the find command as specified by @ConradJones to find where it is!

Try: vi /etc/network/interfaces This should open a file with the interface config in it, if it doesn't then it will show an empty file and you will have to look elsewhere for the interface config files. If it is the config file, quit by typing :wq! this will exit vi. run: cp /etc/network/interfaces /home/interfaces.backup That will backup the original Next edit the interfaces file as you please using the guides here: /etc/network/interfaces Ubuntu Linux networking example

Ah apologies just re-read what you said. Linux doesn't have an equivalent, to make changes just edit file thes. The settings, however, will not take effect until you restart the services you altered.

Confused now are you using linux/smoothwall or an ASA? They are quite different!

Press save? They are only text config files, the moment you save, its..... saved. It's not like a switch where you could wr mem etc, the moment the text file is saved its done. If you are asking how to save in vi, then it would be by pressing :wq! If you edit network settings, then usually its service network restart

We use CentOS exclusively now, have to say its much cleaner than ubuntu. I use the CentOS minimal command line only for web servers etc, installing webmin if I need to schedule Cron jobs as its still the only part I am not good at without a UI!

Its cost vs risk. how often does it happen? How much does it cost? Are you prepared to spend x on the risk y of this happening. In my opinion no. Risk is extremely low, cost is disproportionately high. I don't think its a bad idea, just an expensive one!

I think .NET is one of the weird ones which doesn't like the /q argument, try it with the /b for basic UI rather than /q for no UI I think that works then

Innovate or die? Microsoft have gone down then route of innovate and die. Full screen RDP is great, but what if I want to run in a window for any reason.... There is just so much poor thought in this product I can't understand why anyone is defending it

High PPI screens being the reason? Isn't that what MS came out with the DPI settings for? The solution to having buttons which are too small is to..... make them bigger. Shocker. Using it on server 2012, trying to RDP onto a box with no start menu is such a pain, hovering across the few pixels in the corner just seems like a bug to be honest, such poor user experience, I really cannot express how bad I think the GUI is! It is unfortunate as the dedupe + native NIC teaming is brilliant!! Also why move on from something that works? Innovation for the sake of innovation is dumb.

What deployment method you use? I use MDT with driver filtering so all is handled within the MDT wizard really MDT Script – Clean the Make and Model WMI Queries | RS Applications If you use mdt driver groups are the way to go

No the volume licence only covers upgrades ie you always have to have an OEM licence for your client hardware plus the additional VDA licence for connecting to the virtual hosts. With volume licencing (EES) you get the VDA licence for free with your client OS licence so that is ok if you are using Windows thin PC, but if you use Linux as a client OS you have to purchase the VDA licence separately.

Any thoughts on this since you trialed it? Looks good from an initial scan through the screenshots etc. How was it to set up etc? (Apologies for bringing up the old thread!)

What timescales are you looking at? I have some experience of .net and some old c++ experience http://sourceforge.net/projects/genengine/?source=directory and withjames.co.uk but my involvement would probably be slightly limited in time until Nov when I finish my degree.

Hotel mode means that the outside buttons are disabled doesn't it? I know that some TVs offer a demo like mode where only the remote changes the channel etc, used to use it in PC world (back in the day) where possible cus otherwise people used to change it to odd channels and you might turn around and get Tekeshi's castle or something similar.

I personally would use the opportunity to test Windows 7 and get it up and running. The roaming profile thing isn't the end of the world there are guides on how to overcome this from this forum

Do you have roaming profiles? The V2 profile issue will only happen if you have roaming profiles.

TBH that game is actually pretty good. You can customise your truck with lights and custom named numberplates in the window. Enough said. Should be purchased right away. Seriously though, it was quite fun to play, I can imagine with a steering wheel it would be brilliant
