I have just Virtualized E-Portal today. since it used to run on our DB server and i was getting fed up of telling people to log out every time i did a eportal upgrade as I would invariably reboot the box about ten times before eportal would work. So today when eportal had broken with lots of java errors I rebuilt it on my Hyper-V server. I'll let you know how I get on. I assigned it 2GB and just one CPU of 8 (2xQuadCore (Core based) CPUs) it seems responsive enough and logs in quickly

if you Want to use 2008s Shiny new Remote App (Web Based) Terminal Services, then you need Remote Desktop 6.1 on the client PC, which is in SP3... or Vista SP1.

All the Client Side Prefs updates come down as Wsus updates so you don’t even need to install them manually, though i did have to authorize them in WSUS

I'm just starting to play with this too, so i have a thought have you tried editing the looped back meged policy form a vista / 2K8 machien as it may be some new setting that isn't in the old ADM templates? just a thought i've not got quite as far as the lockdown yet still playing with Remote desktop and Remote Apps via the Web access which is very kewl, though the req of vista sp1 or XP SP3 is a bit of a pain!

I've set this up before and came to the same conclusion, you can copy stuff in but not save from word, because then word requiers read access..

Have you actually tried to do a fresh install of windows on it?

Isn't DriveImage XML a free one? sure i read an artical on it somewhere.

We Use Mandatory profiles and by registering whilst creating the mandatory profile worked for us.

i take it you installed the Client as its not part of XP by default. its just a msi that can be deployed

the other bummer about core for the same reason you cant run Exchange 2007 on it as it too uses .NET

Has anyone tried using Intel nics on server 2008 Core and used link aggregation? i was hoping to use 2008 Core and Hyper-V using Core instead of normal 2008 will mean less downtime for the host since less updates and also a lower overhead on the recourses. at the mo I'm just playing with core in a vm

lol that’s funny. Historically it’s actually attached to a church called saint mary de crypt, in the middle of Gloucester. I’ve been giving another 1/2 person hence the part time post, as it happens my IT tech is leaving at the same time so we need some one more urgently, and I will advertise my colleagues job later in the year.

frontmotion package firefox and supply ADMs so you can lock it down the comunity edition is free i've deployed this, i had to make a a single table change via orca in order for it not to become the default browser though. http://www.frontmotion.com/FMFirefoxCE/index.htm

i too was wondering about this a while back.. does it apply to email.. ie delted retionsion policy in Exchange.. or actuall files in peoples "My documents" or does it apply to the MIS? if its like home drives bareing in minds the data on there can change from second to second.. how often should backups be made.. ie some one makes a doc at 10am on said day with snesitve info in... then at 4pm its deleted. its unlikely that it will be captured by a backup... if this information was required by some othere party are we expected to be able to deliver it??

are you loosing your profile?? perhaps using a mandatory profile... is it just activsync or other progs that are loosing their settings? what sort of environment is the pc in home network/domain etc?

Exchange 2007 needs a x64 bit version of windows so thats 2003 x6x or 2003 R2 x64. you can't install it on a 32bit version of windows. interesting Exchange 2003 will only install on x86 hardware therefore to upgrade from 2003 -> 2007 you need to follow the swing method, having both in operation at the same time and moving mailboxes and roles over from one server to the other... i did this once fun!!!!

http://www.ergo.co.uk Ergo offer this

by default outlook also burries its PST (mailbox file) deep in the APPDATA profile too but at least in outlook you can reconfig this and move it some where more sensible.

hardware raid would be better but if the server is already in use then as people above have said is the way to do it.

OE stores its data in the profile so i guess if you find a way to automate it its going to be run by the users say as they login.. i doubt it would be centrally possible. are you going to exchange or just using outlook instead of OE

2003 needs x86 ver of 2k/2k3 so if your server is x64 you would have to put it on another server or a virtual server.

I am playing with using WPAD.DAT to get the proxy settings and its working in a sense the first if works ie if its localy hosted don't use proxy, also the last/end return works. i cant get it to work on client ip. i have a section of ips 10.7.58.x that are reserved for networking kit and admin workstations so i was hoping to use WPAD to redirect them over another unfiltered proxy. and well i just can't see what im doing wrong :S i based some of my code on this site. http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/7949.html anyone done anything like this before or know a way to see what the myIpAddress function is returning? function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { var myip=myIpAddress(); var ipbits=myip.split("."); var myseg=parseInt(ipbits[2]); if (isInNet(host, "10.7.56.0", "255.255.252.0")) { return "DIRECT";} //if (shExpMatch(host, "*microsoft.com*")){ // return "PROXY unfilteredproxy:8080";} //if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.7.58.0", "255.255.252.0")) { // return "PROXY unfilteredproxy:8080";} if (myseg == 58) { return "PROXY unfilteredproxy:8080; DIRECT";} return "PROXY proxy:8080; DIRECT"; }

or Authenticated Users works too
