Sorry for the late response. The file should be a batch file. .cmd Dave Namou, MCSE CCEA

Add the following script to your server. Make sure it runs each time a user logons. I had to do this for a similar application as well. Set HomeDrive=C:\Users\%USERNAME% Hope that helps. Dave Namou, MCSE CCEA

You could also use Windows PE to load the system. Windows PE is a light weight version of Windows Vista. Once you boot the server to Windows PE, you can then map a drive to a network share and run Windows 2008 setup from there. Windows PE fits on a CD, so that shouldn't be a problem. Not...

Hi, I've created the simple code below for an HTA application which has a button to launch Notepad. The script works fine on Windows 2003 and Windows XP. My problem is when I try to use the script on Windows PE 2.0. - The HTA application loads fine but when I click the button to launch...

Hey AO, You need to download the patch from microsoft first. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=554A94FE-A478-47A7-B004-0277A292E90E&displaylang=en and yes, you do have to put this in a .bat or .cmd file. Your bat file and the EXE that you download from Microsoft should...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me find the issue with the ADM file below? - The file loads without any errors on 2000 and 2003 using GPEDIT.MSC. - I actually see the "IE7 Test" Category under "Administrative Templates". - But nothing shows up on the right side of MMC. It's just...

Hi Sak, I'm not sure exactly where the policy is. In fact I'm not sure it's there by default. You might have to create your own ADM file and add it to the policy templates. Dave Namou, MCSE CCEA

Here's a quick and dirty way if you want to try this.... I recommend doing this while no one is logged on. 1) Logon with Admin Account 2) Put the server in INSTALL mode (Change User /Install). 3) Change the IE Homepage and close IE. 4) Put the server back in EXECUTE mode (Change User...

Looks like I'm able to update it now as well. Microsoft has been moved to the "Optional Software" Section of Windows Update now where it used to be in the "Critical" updates section before. I guess it's not critical to update it anymore.. ?? Dave Namou, MCSE CCEA

Hi, I wanted to use the Citrix "ICA Client Update Configuration" Tool to update all our clients from 6.x to the new 10.x Client but... I was not able to find the 10.x client in a Cab format where I could just point to the INI file. Anyone know how I can go about doing this? Thanks in advance...

Hi, Does anyone know if IE7 was pulled off the Windows Update site for Windows 2003 SP1? Our company installs an average of 20 servers a month and we usually used Windows Update to download it. But the past 4 servers we built did not display IE7 as an available download...and we have not...
