When you slipstream a beta SP, it becomes time-bombed for 180 days. RC2 (and the prior beta builds I have had access to as a tester) have been more or less error-free in my test environments.

Have you considered publishing an .msi via group policy? I believe that's why they switched to the .msi package for 9.0.

I am in need of some recommendations for a software package to create a report (csv, excel, etc.) of currently installed software packages and OS installations on my network. I am aware of the MSIA, but it is limited only to Microsoft products, which DOES help, but may actually create more work than necessary. The software requirements are as follows: Sortable/searchable by computername, software title/os inexpensive/free, even only as a trial version Something like SMS is out of the question in this instance. I am currently looking into WebCensus as there is a free 30 day trial, but it is limited to 100 PCs. Has anyone used this package, or something similar? Any recommendations? Thanks for your input.

There's a switch you can add after cmd.exe that will keep the window open until the batch file is complete, I believe it's /c. For example: cmd.exe /c pingtest.bat Quote: CMD [/A | /U] [/Q] [/D] [/E:ON | /E:OFF] [/F:ON | /F:OFF] [/V:ON | /V:OFF] [[/s] [/C | /K] string] /C Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates Note that multiple commands separated by the command separator '&&' are accepted for string if surrounded by quotes. Also, for compatibility reasons, /X is the same as /E:ON, /Y is the same as /E:OFF and /R is the same as /C. Any other switches are ignored. If /C or /K is specified, then the remainder of the command line after the switch is processed as a command line, where the following logic is used to process quote (") characters: 1. If all of the following conditions are met, then quote characters on the command line are preserved: - no /S switch - exactly two quote characters - no special characters between the two quote characters, where special is one of: &<>()@^| - there are one or more whitespace characters between the the two quote characters - the string between the two quote characters is the name of an executable file. 2. Otherwise, old behavior is to see if the first character is a quote character and if so, strip the leading character and remove the last quote character on the command line, preserving any text after the last quote character. That was from CMD /? at a cmd prompt, if you're curious. There's a lot more information there, too, but the majority of it was irrevelant in your case.

Did you verify the CRC of the image from MSDN? It should be bootable, and shouldn't have any file corruption, assuming the CRC matches.

Just activated the trial of WebCensus, and it requires an agent be installed on each machine, which I do not want at this time.

You'll need to run the MKBOOT32 if you're within Windows attempting to create boot disks. IIRC, the MSDN images are bootable however. Have you checked your BIOS settings?

Have you thought about a Tablet PC?

APK- IIS is NOT installed by default in Windows Server 2003. There is an FTP server that is a component of IIS 6. You may find a server such as BlackMoon FTP more feature rich, however. I have looked at most of the major FTP server software packages, and BlackMoon is my pick. Try it, before you make a decision.

Create a boot disk using the Ghost Boot Disk creator. It will support NTFS.

Do you have the latest i815 chipset drivers installed? How about BIOS revision?

That's because the playing video is using an overlay, think of the screen in layers, and that layer is being excluded from capture.

Cantenna!

I just checked on a shortcut that I have, and it does indeed show up.

If you have a shortcut to the .exe, the compatibility tab will be there, assuming that slayerui.dll has been registered.

Have you tried running the application in compatibility mode? If you do not have the Compatibility tab on your shortcut properties, you'll need to register slayerui.dll.

Does the site in question use SSL/certificates? Certificates installed? Local CA? Just trying to come up with some ideas, if I have more later, I'll post them. Just re-read your original post... Here's an idea for you: Have the user log on to another machine, verify proper access to site, export the certificate, import on machine with problem after user logs on.

Does the site use Java? Have a JVM installed?

Do you forfeit any of your legal copyright entitlements/protections by having your works hosted at those sites? If so, free is hardly the right term.

All your hard drives are belong to us!! Seriously though, it's most likely the protected recycle bin. If it were my choice, I would opt to uninstall that portion of SystemWorks after getting your free space back.

If there is an index.htm(l) or similar file or script, you cannot view virtual directory listings, unless it has been enabled by the web server administrator. An example of how to view, assuming the server configuration allows it would be: http://www.servername.com/pictures/ Now, if the url was something like: http://www.servername.com/pictures/mypicts.html then the mypicts.html page would be loaded instead of a directory listing. If there was an index.htm(l) present in the /pictures/ folder, again, by default, that would be loaded and essentially prevent directory listing.
