Ugh no joke, I hate trying to troubleshoot vista. Although the problem is usually easy to find, my conclusion is usually "Sorry dude, vista's infected your box, gunna have to format and install a real OS :/" Someone passed me a link to W7 beta, dunno if I want to bother after the hack that is vista. Either of you attempted to dabble with 7 yet?

Kopete=messenger, but meh If it wasn't for wine not running my school apps, I'd never use windows. But alas, no choice :/ Unless darksat wants to find me a way to run hawkes learning apps through wine?

Advice on what? Which of the two you should do?

Top link seems to have what you want. Or the fourth for a howto.

Create a Ghost image and store it on the DC. Then network boot UBCD w/ghost on it on each system and pull the image down. There's probably a faster way, but we have to join XP, Vista, Fedora 8 to the domain afterward, so may as well do it by hand since it's only 26 computers.

I was re-imaging the tech lab here on campus and ran across this little number. I don't know who spent the time to get the available disk space to this from the 90+G of space to 666MB. But more power to em! Just something I figured someone may get a kick out of :p

Me says FF3 is purty... Not a fan of the 'old man' buttons, but then again for those late drunken nights surfing, it does make it easier to back out of those po®n sites with the overly large buttons Not that I would be doing that, nor condone it! :p

Well, to check which systems have gotten the GP update, while logging into the domain, they should automatically pull the GP. There is a time-out period where they should automatically grab as well if they are currently logged in when the policy was changed. Can't remember off the top of my head what the settings name is. As far as worrying if someone changes their policy on their local machine. That's Local Policy, which is over-ridden by Group Policy. Unless said user is a domain admin changing domain policy of course :p Hopefully that helped. If not, well, I tried

I believe I could help you, but I'm not understanding what your question is... Are you saying that after changing the ACL the client isn't able to access the shared folder until you use `net use`? or is it something different? The wording is throwing me for a loop here :p Rephrase if possible.

hmm.. that's some nice cable management :p

Poor DC Should get his address and the DS mafia can go find the guy and get your laptop back!

True, but if a laptop is stolen, all they have to do is restart the comp, freeze the ram while it's at login screen, and pull the key off, and they are good to go :/

Ah there it is: http://citp.princeton.edu/memory/
Was pretty sweet. We had to do some research on using this technique. Not very viable, to grab info from a desktop pc that you can't grab and run with, but great for a laptop that was picked up.

Hah, that's awesome DS :p Did I show you guys the write-up about this team at I believe Princeton, pulled the info off some ram, to grab the EFS key to get info off the EFS protected drive? Was funny watching them spray "Blow-off" turned upside down, all over the laptops ram :p
