Slow Deployment to Optiplex 980 using MDT 2010
by Guest Scott Ladewig - WUSTL- 0 replies
- 108 views
We're having an issue with deploying Windows 7 to Dell Optiplex 980 systems using MDT 2010 beta 1. I've read other posts where people said an update of the BIOS to A02 fixed the problem for them, but it did not for us. Wasn't sure if anyone else was seeing the same behavior. We're deploying a custom WIM, but the standard Windows 7 WIMhas the same behavior. Super slow on the extracting files portion. if you put another model next to the 980, it finishes the entire process long before the 980 gets past the extracting stage. Continue reading...

Inactive printer TS Port after a restart
by Guest Tipiford- 0 replies
- 218 views
Anytime I restart my XP Mode, my default printer port goes inactive and a print job will go to the secondary printer, unless only one printer is set-up, in which case, the job does not print at all (the job will pass through the status window with no errors as if it printed). So, every restart requires a reinstallation of the default printer. Continue reading...

With one of those rare Seattle snowstorms underway today, I feel this is a great time to publish this description of our Holiday 2011 Test Drive demo “Let It Snow.” —Editor When a browser effectively uses the underlying hardware, the possibilities are limitless.
