The new library at our university has full wireless coverage and 24 circulating laptops with internal wireless cards. Problem: we have a Windows 2000 domain which requires logon. We were hoping that by turning WEP off on the access points in the library, the computers would be able to hop onto...

We're running Altiris Deploy Server on a Windows XP Pro desktop. It was running fine until we had to shutdown the computer and restart it. Ever since then we've had problems. The chief clue we have is that the "pxe config service" is starting automatically but then stopping unexpectedly...

A long time ago, when we first set up our Windows 2000 Active Directory, I made some preference mode configurations in the internet explorer maintenance group policy. Whenever I go in to modify those settings now, though, the policy editor performs a small crash. That is, when I get to the...

We're looking at customizing some forms in Altiris, particularly the New Ticket input form on the My Help Desk interface. The programming language used here doesn't seem to be straight HTML. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Errr... That's MAILSLOT\BROWSE. Sorry. :)
