WDS not joining computer to domain using settings from ImageUnattended.xml file
by Guest Hollidaeus- 0 replies
- 111 views
I know I must be missing something relatively simple on this problem but I'm sort of stumped. I've configured my boot image and my Windows 7 Professional Install image. I've configured and validated the two XML unattended scripts in WSIM the first one for the PXE boot portion of the setup and the second for the imaging (OOBE) portion of the setup. My Image XML is being processed and working, at least portions are. My problem is that the computer name and AD account aren't being configured properly they're being configured by the "AD DS" settings in the Properties sheet of the server and not the settings in the Image Unattended XML. I've watched the install process an…

OEM Licensing question.
by Guest Carlo Piva- 0 replies
- 109 views
Hi there everyone. Just have an issue right now with an MS audit that is being done on our company. They are claiming that we are illegally using OEM licenses on our laptops and desktops. The only licenses we use for our laptops and desktops are what comes pre-installed on the hardware from HP, or what comes with their recovery CD's. Literally, they are saying we are re-using the same keys over and over again. Again - we are not installing any OS ourselves we are only using what HP has deployed on the units. I have managed to pull up a report through ManageEngine Desktop Central that indicates which keys are being used on what systems, and it appears that HP has been…

Hello, I have a HP Laptop whose hard disk crashed (on which i ran Windows 7 x64 Professional) and had to replace it. So had to install a trial version of Windows 7 and enter my product key. I have also installed linux in windows with the help of "wubi". My problem is that windows is not getting updated (not able to upgrade to SP1). I have tried skipping SP1 and installing but failed. My computer has not been able to update for a month now. And every time I try shutting down the computer, it installs updates (which always fail and takes my time ). I have tried the following methods to solve my problem in the past few days: 1. Restart my computer. (clean boot) 2. Tro…

by Guest FrankPolise- 0 replies

I reported another hacking incident to Yahoo a few days ago (because I uncovered their email address as being Yahoo). Have no idea if it is the same individual. They somehow were diverting my emails to themselves both hotmail and gmail. Average 30-40 emails a day with both accounts and all of a sudden none. I am getting paranoid about using the Internet. What do I need to do? I only know about the request for money referred in the "Title caption" because my friend called me Saturday on my cell phone and asked what I was doing in Cyprus.

Launch Options for Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8
by Guest ieblog- 0 replies
- 74 views
IE10 is a new browsing experience built in lockstep with Windows 8 to give you all the advantages that Metro style applications offer. We built that experience by extending IE’s underlying architecture to provide a fast, fully hardware accelerated browsing engine with strong security and support for HTML5 and other Web standards. IE10 also includes a desktop experience for when you are using desktop tools and wish to continue using them in your existing workflows. Following last September’s release of the Windows 8 Developer Preview, we heard a lot about giving you the option to control which experience of Internet Explorer—Metro style or on the desktop —to launch when …

I cannot install windows 7 x64 with AMD/ASUS RAID driver
by Guest fatman45- 0 replies
- 123 views
Trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on an ASUS M5A97 mobo with AMD SB850 RAID, two WD 750GB drives configured as RAID 0. No drives are recognized by W7 install, so I choose Load Drivers. I put the drivers on a USB stick. Install finds the drivers there, starts loading them, then comes back with "Installing an unsigned 64 bit driver is not supported and may result in an unstable Windows installation." I downloaded the latest drivers from ASUS website which are WHQL certified (as are the one's on the motherboard disk). I saw other posts that recommend clicking Repair instead of Install, but I don't see where that option is. All I am given as options are Upgrade or Inst…

Controversy Doesn't Mar "Smoked by Windows Phone" Successes
by Guest Paul Thurrott- 0 replies
- 81 views
By Paul Thurrott For the past few months, Microsoft has been holding impromptu "Smoked by Windows Phone" competitions at industry events and its retail stores, challenging users of other smart phones to take on the efficiency of Windows Phone. It’s been an amazingly successful campaign for Microsoft for a simple reason: Windows Phone really is faster at day to day tasks. But now some are claiming that in a single challenge out of the hundreds Microsoft has so far held, the software giant cheated. Continue reading...

Hi All, I am Arun, currently working as SysAdmin. In our network there are both desktops and laptops. But I am facing issue with the laptops users. The issue is as follows, most of the user call me and say that they have forgot their AD password and help them to reset it. I will reset it through AD, but the problem is all desktop users connected to the LAN are able to log in, but the laptop users using wifi cannot log in with their new password. They are logging in using the old password to the system, but they are accessing their outlook mail using new password. Once they are connected to the LAN the new password is reflected to their system also. Is there any way to…
