VBScript: Access Computers on a network and count specific files types
tumbleweed replied to umass's topic in Scripts
Have a look a the Gnuwin32 package - a port of unix goodies that windows is sadly lacking in. the 'find' command-line utility could be what you need. -
CCTV Solution 20+ Cameras and recording server etc

Have a look at Drive Tools for Windows - he's got an ejectmedia which has an x64 version, worth a go.

printui.dll /GA - global add, so that all users have the local printer as default ?

Useful tools for Technician? Just about to start my first job.

Check out SARDU - multiboot usb creator. Also the sysinternals suite, and nirsoft utilities. -
With a Relative density of around 2.4, these will wight around 40 KG - and I've shifted enough to confirm that's about right -- get onto the larger 900*600 ones at around 60KG and you know you're lifting something. Can we have a 'how many sweets in the jar ?' type contest - my guess is 1750 KG. Or, have you thought of freegle (was freecycle) - you may get rid of them for free ??

Windows update website wont work on XP SP3 - thinks it hasn't got SP3?!
tumbleweed replied to sidewinder's topic in Windows
Rebuilt a machine with an SP2 disc yesterday, put SP3 on and then tried updates - got this failure. Put IE8 on, and also ensured local time on the machine was correct, restarted and all OK. But, my next move was good old wsusoffline/ - -

Scare-mongering SSITA email about Wifi being sent around
tumbleweed replied to localzuk's topic in General Chat
Utter Garbage - look at the Contact page on SSITA - A London address with a Birmingham Phone number, and a personal email address. -
Thinstation - Black screen then return to menu
tumbleweed replied to Cache's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
Here's what I did, though we installed to disk, not using PXE. Get an ISO of Puppy Linux, and use unetbootin to create a bootable flash drive. Should have a utility 'hardinfo' - use that to checkout what hardware is seen from inside a linux environment. Armed with that information, use the ts-o-matic at :: Thinstation - a light, full-featured Linux thin client OS :: to build an image. -
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\LogonTimeout dword - decimal 300 Gives a 5 minute timeout.

8 gig flash drives now under £10 - might be the simplest way round it.

Might be of use to somebody, also if it's here then I can find it again in the future. Just displays the target for any shortcuts on the desktop. I tend to run it something like this :- cscript read-desktop-links.vbs > %temp%\desktops.txt read-desktop-links.vbs

Home Broadband problems - does this look ok to you?
tumbleweed replied to BatchFile's topic in General Chat
Get an 'iplate' - for about a fiver it doubled my speed. At one point, I had a very ropey connection, but whenever the phone was in use, seemed OK. Turned out to be poor cable from the pole to my house, old & cracked, particularly bad in wind +/- rain - phone use, applying a voltage, would help DSL to get through - quite common according to the engineer. -
... Just leave it outside, the little critters go in, get stuck, their friends come to help, and so it goes on. Then, boiling water, or just put the lid on. Won't eradicate them all, but will certainly reduce numbers. Have tried this several times over the years, and it's always done the job for me.

It's a sysinternals tool, seems to work pretty well. you then fire up virtual PC, or similar, on the target machine.

USBDLM can certainly work 'unattended' - have peek at the online help USBDLM Help
-
Quick and dirty way - try placing a shortcut in the all users startup folder .

There's a newly released version of FreeNAS that might be worth looking at.
