If you have PS v4 on a windows 8 machine you should be able to do a 'get-printconfiguration'. For some reason the get-printconfig is tied directly to Windows 8. So if you are running 7 I don't think it will work... if you figure out how to make it work let me know!!

I would use powershell personally. Just type get-acl \\server\folder\file Below I put a screenshot of what that gives you

I would try straight CMD. Make sure the /d is going to do what you want it to as well! The username variable will probably be %userprofile% So it would look something like this mklink /d %userprofile%\appdata\roaming\microsoft\signatures U:\My Settings\Signatures

Converting VBScript to Windows PowerShell And about PSv3. I found that you must have .Net Framework 4.5 installed before you attempt to install PSv3

Since they are wired: I've seen this issue happen a lot when replacing a computer, or upgrading from XP to 7 or whatever. Almost anytime a new computer is put in place of an old one. The problem I found was that DNS and Reverse DNS was still holding the old computers IP address, and the new computer is trying to use the same IP. The solution was to delete the old IP out of DNS and reverse, and set the new computer to DHCP vs. Static.

Are the computers connected via ethernet or wireless?

Are you able to change the permissions in Disk Management?

Have you tried icacls /? Thats how I learned about it... Or a step better. If you have powershell v.3 type in icacls, it will give you the same info that it will in command prompt, but throws in a few examples at the bottom

We have a very simple VBS script on our computers that maps a computer to the appropriate computer when it starts up. The problem is that sometimes it gets jumbled up with GPP being applied and everything else starting up. We would like to delay the script from running for about 5 minutes to give everything else a chance to start up before we map the printers. Anyone know how to do this? I haven't figured it out yet.

I've been learning a TON from Microsoft Virtual Academy. They have lessons with the guy who actually designed and wrote powershell...so he is a fairly reliable source... 05 | The pipeline: deeper

Is UAC turned off? If you so that might be part of the issue.

Good sources for that then? Haha

Hello All, I am fairly fluent at writing .BAT files, and am hoping to move up to VBS files. Anyone know of some good sources to help me get started? Thanks!

This link has a lot of information on 'shortcuts' and very helpful variables in xcopy, del, etc. Microsoft Corporation

I would agree with bwestlake about drivers. Try uninstalling the mouse drivers and then letting it auto-redownload. It should search for the correct ones and install them automatically.

you could try something like del Mustermann.Max\* /s This will delete all files in the directory and sub directories, but leave the folder itself alone. the 'del' is delete, and then i look at modifies or variables found here Microsoft Corporation I would still make a few test folders to try it on first

CCNA is a whole test. You can't pick and choose which parts you want to get. You either take the whole thing or you dont haha. But even just reading the guide would give you a lot of knowledge.

You would more likely have to buy a license for every machine it is installed on. You could however install it on a server (using only one license) and then have all the every other machine load it from there.

You could also write a script that runs at start up that maps favorites. I had one running that at shutdown, copied the favorites, and then overwrote them at start up. Then you just attach the csript to the users profile.

try going to PowerPoint, View, Arrange All. Sometimes that will fix it.

these ones are crazy expensive... probably more than a school would be willing to pay. Rugged Keyboards - ToughPCs.com

/b would work out... or even a /zb. /b copies the backups directly. /zb will only copy the backups if permission is denied.

It's SATA. I have rebooted numerous times to no avail

UPDATE: It is not showing up under disk management in the area where you can assign letters to the drives. However, underneath there where it shows "Disk 0, Disk 1, CD-Rom 0 etc." it shows "Disk 1, unknown, not initialized." So I right click on it and try to initialize it. And then it gives me the error 'Virtual Disk Manager: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).' I have not tried it in Linux yet, however that is a good idea. I will have to get my hands on a copy of it.

How do I initialize without formatting?
