    USB tuner recomendations (NOT Hauppauge!)

    I'd agree, going with one of the PCIe 550 based cards would work, unless you've also filled the 1x slots. i just haven't been happy with any of the usb stuff on my laptop, after using 550s in my media pc.

    Windows update script

    if you don't want to go the ghost route, i would: 1. make sure they are all pcs are set to auto install updates 2. setup a WUS server to serve updates to your network, so you just have to bring them into your environment once. 3. use a script like this: i don't remember where i...
