ive never really got the internet explorer maintenance settings to work properly so have done the wpad.dat method and relied on the automatically detect settings being ticked by default! though i could do with having a gpo to untick this for our staff that use a different proxy.

See pic for individual file restore

you can install the Agent on the Guest VM and just backup the File shares that would work no problem as well as or instead of protecting the whole VM yes you can if you install the agent on the guest vm

if you're servers are all Microsoft DPM is cheap and very easy to use setup. System Center 2012 - Data Protection Manager you basically install clients on the servers you want to protect and specify how often to take backups it does differential backups so i for example often backup my sql info every fifteen minutes.

yes you can do this i have convereted a real linux server to a hyper-v server you need to whip the disk out of the linux server put it as a slave in a windows computer and use dd for windows to take a image of the disk (it will take the whole size of the physical disk despitet the amount data stored on on it).. i think you could use dd in linux too... then there is a tool called vhdtool that will convert the dd image file to a VHD this will then boot in hyper v you may need to sort out the networking if the nic changes etc.. but it does work i did it with ubuntu. Linux P2V With DD and VHDTool

Useful to know I've not deployed it on any laptops yet!

Sophos is easy to install on first boot i use a startup script like so and just pass the password, sophos does have an obfuscate but i couldn't get it to work :s @ECHO OFF REM --- Check for an existing installation of Sophos AutoUpdate if exist "C:\Program Files\Sophos\AutoUpdate\dir.txt" goto _End if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\dir.txt" goto _End REM --- Deploy to Windows 2000/XP/2003 \\SERVERNAME\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\Setup.exe -updp "\\SERVERNAME\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP" -user "DOMAIN\UserWithReadAccessToSophsShare" -pwd %1 -mng yes dir > "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\dir.txt" dir > "C:\Program Files\Sophos\AutoUpdate\dir.txt" REM --- End of the script :_End

So far so good no issues reported to me, i did a sheet and pined it in the Room on how to sign out as that wasn't immediately obvious, and how to add a printer, and how to get to your desktop. we have it in one IT room and the Library.

we use iTAP for some of our users who have either Linux or Mac computers at home and it works great with our 2008R2 TS gateway. Ive used it from Linux and our business manager has a mac at home and she uses it no problems. its about 24€ i think

if you use any sort of add ons they may not work in the x64 bit version, having said that as i don't use any i used to sue the x64 bit version and it worked fine for me. im now using the x64 bit version of office 2013 preview and thats running just fine too, though i have only deployed the regular 32 bit varieties to normal users, because of the warnings and caveats mentioned above

ok i see and because they are different domains users on network 2 are challenged to authenticate? if this is the case would a trust between the domains work / possible

my understanding is the only difference between data center and standard is around visualization rights 2 guests with standard and unlimited with data center. otherwise standard would do everything else.

you should just be able to use an IE maintenance GP setting unless i'm misunderstanding

yeah its been on MSVLS for over a week probably nearer two ive got one Virtual 2012 Print server already and a physical server running Hyper-v To be fair it was difficult to find and wasn't advertised...

the cannot connect sugests there isn't a default gateway or dns server setup correctly on the server check that mine says that after a reboot and when i put the info in it works again. ive seen this once before the please wait message try installing fog again on the server that fixed it for me, you wont loose your existing settings its just like upgrading fog

might need some more info, but if they both have net access you could make your sharepoint server avalible to the net and therefore both networks would have access to it. have you got two sets of AD? or is this just a workgroup type setup? if its workgroup you could provision all the users you need on the sharepoint server. have you considered creating a route from one network to the other even if they are only allowed access to the sharepoint server? if you want one of your existing servers to run sharepoint services you may need to allow it to be accessable from the net or via a Tunnel to the other lan though you may need again here to create all the user acounts from the other network on the sharepoint server.

well upgrade successful just waiting for everything to be come consistent again

oh well already gone past the point of no return!

I rebuilt one of my Hyper-V servers today. just to let you know worked well i simply imported the VMs after i reinstalled the OS and they came straight in no problems (as they were on a different drive) just point to the Config folder and i could pick the VM No Problemo... i was using Hyper-V 2008R2 before.

Yes you need both. you could move onto WDS of FOG.... Clonezilla is a good free ghost we use that for everything we don't manage through FOG

there is an exe called setvol i dont know if you could write a script that uses that to up and down the volume

you can copy all the ADMX files from a Windows 8 computer to the AD central store then you will get the new policies. you can edit these from a windows 7 machine, if you use a central store. though some of the stuff under the other settings don't come through like security settings the policies on win 8 are in c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions if you don't have a central store then its easy just browse the sysvol share on a DC and open the folder yourdomanename.local then Policies make a folder called PolicyDefinitions and copy the ADMX files into there. How to create a Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Window Vista i've not had any problems with Administrative template policies applying to win8 either older ones or win8 specific ones...

if you are doing it in GPO when you create a new app in Policies -> Software Settings -> Assigned applications then if you chose advanced after you pick the MSI before you close the dialogue box you can add an MST. once you close the dialogue box you cant add an MST

Yup this is the problem... I’m not to worried as the metro apps I want to block don’t work because of filtering but it would just be cleaner... I’m resigned to waiting for RSAT for windows 8 proper

if your car has a disc changer in the boot you may be able to get a unit that cuts into that i did it in my Jag XJ and when i got my XK the same unit worked in that.. in my case i needed a PIE ALP/Ai-AUX Walkman MP3 Player installed into my Jaguar XJ 1998 - My Right Wing Agenda
