You could also install Adobe Acrobat and print to that.  That will
produce a PDF file that you can then print anywhere or just read with
Reader.

RE: W2K Editing Group Policy

We had the same problem once when I transferred the PDC FSMO.  We
couldn't access Users and Computers, Group Policy snap-in, etc.  When I
switched it back to the original machine it worked again.

Have you done a FSMO transfer lately?  Might try changing it back.

Also, check DNS

RE: Splash screens and wallpaper

2001-09-17 Thread Mier, Juan
Title: Message



A splash screen could be just some kind of .exe or .bat that runs at 
startup.  You'd have to find some kind of program that can do that 
though.
 
You said, "logon or boot."  You can change the boot screen.  
Search the web for instructions on how.  It entails modifying ntoskrnl.exe 
though.

That's kind of what I mean.  I don't use the program or know 
anything about it.  I just have to install it for a user on a new machine 
and "make sure all the settings transfer over"  from the old 
machine.
 
Where do those files live?  Anything else I need to worry 
about?
 
I'll look up Gareth's links.  Hopefully I can find some 
info.

RE: Offline Folders and Cache

2001-09-10 Thread Mier, Juan

When you are on the network you use the network copy.  The reason you
want to configure My Documents as offline is that if that connection is
severed users can still work.

Also, for laptops users can still use the files when on the road.

Hello!

This is the problem, we have an application here that requires 4 unique
mail profiles be setup under Outlook 2000 for each person that uses it.
And of course that person requires their own personal profile so they
can use email.  

So basically we end up with every person needing the following profiles:

John Doe <- their personal one, set to default
Profile1
Profile2
Profile3
Profile4

We've been using an outlook.prf file placed in the WINNT folder of a
Win2K Professional Ghost image when we deploy the machines.  Software
installation of Office 2000 is via Group Policy.  This way when a person
logs in their personal profile gets setup automatically.  We then have
to manually add the other 4 profiles.

Inevitably, we end up forgetting 1 or more of the profiles and the
application misbehaves.  I need to figure out some mechanism to have
those 4 profiles added when the person first logs in.  I hope to build
this into the Ghost image so we can just forget about it.  Is there
anyway to do this?  

We're using Exchange 2000 in an AD domain.

RE: Ghost and 2000

2001-08-23 Thread Mier, Juan

Sysprep has nothing to do with RIS really.

Sysprep prepares the system (hence the name) to be cloned by something
like Ghost.  After you sysprep a machine, you can ghost it and the next
time that machine reboots (which would be your cloned machines) it will
run through a kind of mini setup routine.  Generating SIDs, etc.  That
way its almost like installing it from scratch except that everything is
already done.

You don't need AD for sysprep.

RIS replaces the need for sysprep, but only because you can do entire
installations from scratch with it and so you wouldn't have the need for
it.

The different motherboard thing could be an issue.  Nothing says you
can't set up a little test though.

RE: OT Maybe-Connection TO Internet from Hotel Room

2001-08-15 Thread Mier, Juan

He'll be directed to a proxy where he'll have to enter some code they'll
provide and voila, internet access.

I did this when I was in Vegas a couple of months ago.
