hopefully it'll all turn out alright for you dude, Good luck!.

can you see the config file yourself when you browse to it?. forgive me, but have you tried rebooting the vm host?

Cracking, Thanks, was hoping it did but couldn't find any thing to say it definately did.

If i use rds gateway can i use it to access any desktop in my domain without making them public facing?

random google result may work, who knows! Cannot log on after changing keyboard settings

and for your backup i suggest dpm from microsoft, much cheaper than backup exec.

Any joy with this one?

dont suppose anyone has a link to the live news channel do they? the one Lewis posted is the headlines only

Yah, Hate to say this, but removing ti will be a PITA, your better off rebuilding the clients. Sorry!. As for your icon problems, they'll be coming from one of several places, either all users locally, default user, existing profiles, Or a group policy redirection ( possibly part of a roaming profile?). Have a look around, maybe right click on the icon and see if tehre are any properties taht give it away. also work trying a new account, see if it picks up the icons. Moving foward the best thing to do is to use a gp redirection which will you give you a similar setup to the way ranger controls the startmenu. edit** in fact, you can tack it on to the ranger start menu should you wish!

it'll be hidden. how did you remove ranger from the clients?

you sir, are a legend. Thank you.

important thing is that you use the same standard on both ends of the cable, But also +1 for another patch panel.

you can use a driver pack, but in honesty they make an image bulky and add deployment time. You'd be better off adding common drivers then using somehting like mdt to pillage driver cds. MDt can import all the drivers from one location so things like hp cd's can be a goldmine. You can also use something like double driver to extract drivers from current installations.

They are, but you have to pay a fortune for it and its an unnatural knowledge. Your better off learning using books and training vids and getting real life experience at the same time. It will mean for the next 3-5 years your learning on the hoof but your knowledge will be complete and you'll be considered far more valuable than the experienced or trained guys.

then you will need to change the settings in ranger so it doens't hide the c drive, I dont have a ranger server near me but i'm sure its possible, because of the way group policy is applied it's all or nothing.

its unlikely to be ranger, it masks the c drive so you cant navigate to it easily but it doens't change the NTFS perms, thats where i suspect the problem lies. Unless the software has some really bad programming in it!.

when you created the policy and pointed to the msi file did you point ot the local file ie c:\ msi.msi or the unc path? ie \\server\share\package.msi?

All sorts of loverly stuff, MDT - microsoft deployment toolkit, used to deploy os and applications Hyper v - cluster your virtual servers Appv - Package and then deploy streaming applications to the desktop Dpm - Data protection manager, for backups.

mdt. Get them to do a runas, or script it, they then get a loverly clear interface , do the checkboxes and it'll all install for them. need any help or a demo let me know. Or use appv, again, boring explantion on demand!

£1000 is a lot for a cert that you wont get that much use of day to day , unless you spend a majority of your time setting up switches, routers and network infrastructure. You really might be better of looking at the microsoft courses, Get a decent book (sybex or ms press) and find some training online (cbt nuggets and testout are both good) and crack your way through an ms exam. To start with xp (70-270) or windows 7 (70-680) are both great, the xp exam will likely cover what you do day to day. Once you have those out of the way you can then work towards an MCSA which is bascially a network manager.

I wonder if tahts the same dude I know who won the lotto! if not then i might just start doing cabling and iwb and buy lotto tickets!

psexec will do it remotely depending on the type of script.

bbc page is borked since the new website, does anyone have an updated link tohand?

second that, xibo is pretty good digital signage.

are you deploying xp or 7?
