Hi I've been asked to create a template and I've gone past the various stages of controls etc, but have a few questions that can hopefully be answered around here ^^ 1: If I save the template and send to myself/someone else - it does not contain any of the drop-down lists or controls I've put...

Hi The system.txt file resides on the root of c:\ and contains all the data we would essentially require. I only mentioned it as it may make it easier to script something using this file - but it would rely on the PC being on, and on the network at the time. The file contains summary information...

Done. Thanks for you quick response. It is appreciated.

Hi Can anyone help with a scripting thing (I don't know how :)) We have a list of users by "Full Name" and need this to be converted to their Username (possibly an exchange query here). Right after that, we need to use this to find out what their PC hostnames are. Basically, all our databases...

Hi Anyone know a good place to get a script from that can: Query a "full name" and provide the "user name" Do a network query to discover the user's PC. We use both NT and AD infrastructure, so will need something that could do both. I'm possibly not in the correct forum, so please advise...

Hi again. Well, there's loads of CLSID entries for the Counterspy program and the HKCU area in the registry should be available to the logged on user - so nothing there. I have found a workaround for you - if at all practical...when the program is installed it uses only the current users...

I've had great times with this type of thing, and normally, I'd use regmon - run the program and unlock the individual directories in the registry to allow the program to run as standard users. I've had to do this with plenty of programs, and some of them are quite a task to work out as regmon...

Check your ActiveSync program for the server setting and if there, change that to the new location.

The only time I've seen this is when all the following have been true: Enlarged fonts -> display properties/appearance Screen Resolution -> 1024x768 (on Flat screen) -> 800x600 (on 17" CRT) DPI @ 120 (or more) -> display/settings/advanced Sreen refresh -> 75+ (Flat screen)...

I had exactly this happen to me where the OS installed on to drive D: I'm not entirely sure how it came about, but during the text based install, it called my slave the c: and XP just assigned the next available drive letter (in my case it was D) to the "new partition" I had created. I still...

Sounds to me like a policy may be in effect disabling the ability to change permissions. Use the Resultant Set of Policies MMC Snap-in to check it. Start -> Run -> MMC Add Snap-in Choose RSoP You could choose the Security Templates snap-in at the same time just to go through it. The only...

Thanks B. You're a star!

Scan your system for BHOs (Browser Helper Objects) - toolbarcop.exe (www.download.com)Additional toolbars the likes of the google and msn toolbars and more can cause this. Then run a spyware/malware scan with Spybot Adaware (both at the same link)

I'd get the data moved into an excel spreadsheet, and use save as and save it as a comma separated values file. Then import using that file. CSV is a standard format for address book. Potentially, tab delimited could be of use, but CSV "feels" more powerful (just an opinion). Hope this helps.

Fixed all but the date with Office 2003. Not concerned about the date anymore though, so it's all singing and dancing :) Thanks for all the help - learnt a lot about merge through this.
