as in bootcamp XP on the pc? not really up with Macs
-
in D2 found the barb suffered in the later levels unless gear was good because its the need for him to be in direct contact with the mobs which is where the gear is so important, the casters/ranged suffered less from this.

ahh fair enough only on the 3rd level of the blacksmith, been using lower level chars to grind areas for cash to fund the smith.
-
also anyone found a use for the "tooths" you get when salvaging? mate wasnt amused as the game brings a 3/4 yr old intel Mac to its knees....

witch doctor appears to be very fragile if cornered, im a level 9 but my gear is poor. Jumping spiders are fun is it me or does the DH seem OP in the lower levels?

been tinkering with MDT2012 seems to be pretty good so far (worth through some of the guide info) odd this is that on the image capture it appears to be removing flash which i test installed..... liking the driver packaging very much -
+1 on the setting up via IP. all the setup program does is poll for the NAS box (which by default is set to get an address via DHCP IIRC) once it finds it it then adds shortcuts and or drive mappings in my computer and also provides a link to the web interface. (the app sits in the sys tray and is annoying) if your not running DHCP on your server you could set it up or get TFTPD32 and quickly assign some addresses so you can access the web interface and assign a "netbios" name and preferred IP. Mapping can them take place via the UNC name or IP with you shares. be aware that by default its setup as a RAID 0 which isnt going to be ideal for a backup medium

Ok after some head scratching have managed to get PrintUI to play with local port printing. well its not actually installing the port itself but providing the port is already on the machine it can install a printer to it. so with a little addition to the registry with the new port names in my limited testing it appears to behave. sample code Adding a port: sc \\"PC_NAME" stop spooler REG ADD "\\PC_NAME\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports" /v \\SERVER_NAME\PRINTER /t REG_SZ sc \\"PC_NAME" start spooler then another bat file with rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /if /F "DRIVER_INFPATH" /b "Label of printer" /r "Printer Port Name" /m "Printer Name In Driver" /c\\PC_NAME gives 2 batches which are quite large (also added in options for removal of old printers and drivers) but seem to do the trick. id like to have been able to not have to keep creating the PC_Name each time and the script do that itself based on just being given a location and then going from 1-32 for each pc (so art-pc-1 - art-pc-31) anyway someone might find this useful if they are deploying local port printing.

use some simple scripts for backups which are run within windows backup. recently been setting up a load for changing printers and drivers across the site here. (PrintUI) havent used much VBS and no powershell. should really get on board with powershell

Been tearing my hair out with this. we have several room which need the printers to be changed as the ports are going to be wrong when the servers are changed (ports names wrong) the printers are install as a local port printer with the port set to "\\servername\printersharename" so when you look at the port properties it says local port and then lists the share. i have tried using PRNadmin.dll and VBS but i get an error about the module not found (script is just installing a dummy to make sure the script functions as im not that good at scripting lol) dim oMaster dim oPrinter set oMaster = CreateObject("PrintMaster.PrintMaster.1") set oPrinter = CreateObject("Printer.Printer.1") oPrinter.PrinterName = "test_Printer" oPrinter.DriverName = "Epson T-1000" oPrinter.PortName = "lpt1:" oMaster.PrinterAdd oPrinter if Err <> 0 then 'An Error Occurred end if so looked at using prnport.vbs prnmngr.vbs which work but install the printer using direct IP which is not what is required. RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry doesnt appear to support local printing ports to shares? going round the houses so looking for a point on which is the better route to take. thanks

so if i wanted to create a and roll out a Win7 image with software already preinstalled and other visual tweaks etc (we do roll out additional packages in Ranger) would WDS be a better way than MDT currently using Ghost but currently looking at streamline the number of images which we have to create/deal with XP but the school is looking at starting to phase in Win 7. -
had all sorts of niggling issues with folder redirection due to slightly incorrect permissions, basically getting the system to create the users folders and actually populating them correctly. only moving my docs desktop fav's app data has a habit of getting massive

the group still exists on the local computer group management. iirc

indeed its brilliant at what they have done. i see it as ideal for running an XMBC type front end streaming from a NAS box for media in the home

dabbling with Access again, did some work on it at college many years ago so very rusty on relationships. attempting to setup a basic order database which i can input and output order from, been trying to get the reporting work ing properly but struggling so was wondering if its because the underlying structure is wrong. Relationships as they stand Reports are attempted to be ordered via department - order - items but if i trying and put the order total at the bottom after the items it wont let me CONFUSED. any help welcome.

been using espresso on IE for a little while and seems to be fine. have you tried updating flash just in case that is causing an odd issue?
