Hi guys, Since TrueCrypt is not secure anymore and may be buggy (http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/) is there a good and hopefully free alternative I could suggest to a client for encryption or is Bitlocker the best option?

Oh, I see. Is there any way to prevent sysprep from resetting these settings?

Hi everyone, I have what should be an easy problem to fix but I just can't figure it out :) I want to configure the local Administrator account on the image with it's own wallpaper, desktop shortcuts, pinned shortcuts, etc...However, if CopyProfile setting = False in unattend.xml, all of...

Installed Windows 8 CP and like it so far. It takes a little bit getting used to and I will keep it on one of my work computers, but I will think twice if I want to deploy it to any of our machines at work if this is how the final version ends up being. As mentioned before in this thread simple...

Hi everybody, I wanted to lock down the desktops of computers on domain with deny write NTFS permsisions so that users can't save their documents on the desktop, but there are too many computers for me to go and do it manually to each one. Is there anyway I can push the NTFS deny settings...

I created a wim image first, and then tried to upload existing wim image to a Ghost server by creating a new image (win7.gho for example).

Hi everyone. Here's an issue I ran into and I don't know how to fix it: I performed a clean install of Windows 7, sysprepped, and captured the image with Imagex utility. When I deploy the image using the same imagex utility everything seems to work fine. However, when I upload this created...

Hi everyone, I need to create a Windows 7 image with Ghost 8.3. From what I understand that isn't possible as that version of Ghost does not support this OS but unfortunately an upgrade is not an option right now and the image has to be in .gho format. Do you guys have any suggestions...

Hi Crimson. Thank you for replying. The wireless network ins using PEAP but the laptops are running Windows 7. I just tried the fix but apparently it only works for Windows XP.

Hi guys, I think I have a stupid question but can't figure out. If I connect to a wireless network with certain credentials, next day when I connect to this same network (after I had shut down and restarted my laptop) I don't need to authenticate anymore and I wanted to make it so that it...

Hi guys, I have an opportunity to replace my old desktop PC at work and my job will purchase any Dell PC for me. Pricing in not important. I won't be doing any gaming on it, overclocking or anything like that (obvioulsy :)). I'd like something that is professional looking and something...

Hi guys, I was using MDT to create image files (.wmi) and deploy it to Windows PCs, but need to convert these images to .gho format to use with Ghost. Is it at all possible? Thanks!

I know this is a wrong forum, but is it possible to do the same thing on a Macbook? I have tried to play around with Energy Saver in System Preferences but it doesn't seem to work. Sorry for posting this in the wrong section. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, it worked :)

Hi guys, I was just wondering if this was possible. I have a bunch of laptops that I want to be shut down at 12am every night that are in hibernation mode (ie. the cover is closed). I was just wondering if this is possible? Thank you.

Hi guys, This is probably a very stupid question, but I just can't figure it out. I wanted to print my calendar from Outlook 2010 using Tri-fold style but I was wondering how do I specify the time I want to be printed. For example I wanted to print all of my schedule between 9AM to 11PM on a...

Thanks guys. I'll definately give this a try. What's the difference between SteadyState and Deep Freeze other than one is free and the other is not?

Hi pxc. So I tried your script. It seemed to work but it only moved the individual files, but did not touch the folders. Is that how it should be or is there something that needs to be added to the script for this to work? Thanks :)

I see. So if the user's default time zone is -5:00 Eastern the script may not work?

Thanks a lot! I'll definately try this and will respond if I have any questions. Thanks again :)

Thanks, pxc. Could you give me an example of what the script might look like? I don't think I even know how to start :) Thanks, and sorry for being such a newb.

Hi Jesse. From what I've read Deep Freeze is a really good solution but it may be a while before we get it since it's paid for. Is there an alternative free solution or maybe some kind of script I could run?

Hi guys, At work I have several Windows XP computers on which I'd like to erase documents created/saved by the user in "My Documents" folder on the restart, but at the same time I'd like to have a backup in case someone needs access to a certain document after it's been erased. Is this...

Hey guys, Could you guys please give me some suggestions for a powerful laptop I could use for school? I would like to be able to run multiple VMs in Hyper-V on Server 2008 as I will be studying for MCITP certifications. I probably won't be gaming on this laptop, but I may want to watch a...

Hi Demon10000. Thank you very much for advice. This seems to be line 65 of desktop.htt file. It doesn't mean much to me but I hope you can see somethng that I don't :) <input ID=ID5 type="submit" onClick="suih.ResetSafeMode();" value="Restore my Active Desktop"> Here's the full...

Hi guys, I have a lot of Windows XP computers that have been giving end users this issue at work and I was wondering if anyone ran into this. It seems that most computers on the network lose the wallpaper and instead the "Active Desktop Recovery" page kicks in for everyone. When user clicks...

Thanks guys! I'll try this today and will let you know how if it worked. Thanks again.

Hey guys, While we were on Windows XP, TweakUI worked great when we used the autologin feature. In Windows 7, though, it doesn't work :( Is there a similar utility availabe that will do the same thing (i.e login domain user automatically without prompting for credentials)? Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is possible at all, but I wanted to ask the experts in here. So at work we have some computers that are used as "research" stations, where all that users can do is browse the internet. I was wondering if it's possible when the user moves the mouse and...

I have an invite for bitspyder.net and would really like to trade it for bit-hdtv.

Ok, thanks everyone. What if I have more than one OU for computer objects? For example, we have everything devided in departments and each department has an OU for computers.

Hi everyone, Here I am with another newbie question :) At work we run Active Directory on Windows Server 2003. When a computer has to be re-joined to domain (when it has been re-imaged for example) and given the same name that it had before I see that the computer object has been added to...

Hi guys. I'm doing some research before I add/upgrade our Windows 2003 servers to 2008 version. I just wanted to come here and ask if any of you here have done it, and if you run into problems. Just want to be as prepared as I can be :) Thanks.

No, we don't. It is also happening on some 755's not all of them, so I assumed this is not a server side issue.

Hi guys. I have a weird problem going on at work that I'm trying to figure out and I'm not sure what's happening. So I got a call from a user on Monday saying that when they're working on their computer the screen would just go black, but after they move their mouse and press any keys on the...

Oh, ok. I'll give this a shot as well. I was just wondering since I already made my USB drive work how I wanted, if I could just copy all the files to a CD and make it bootable.

Thanks, J-Will. What is the best program to make a bootable iso file? I've tried ImgBurn and MagicISO so far but couldn't boot from a disk. Also, I noticed that for some newer PC models I couldn't boot into Windows 98 Startup Menu unless I switched the hard drive to ATA mode. Is there any way...

I followed this advice, and have tested with 3 different laptop models and so far so good :) I also used this website as a guide to help me, with the only difference that I used a USB drive instead of creating floppies...

So I transfered settings using Windows Easy Transfer using a flash drive but something weird is happening. The local group policy that were transfered only apply to a local admin account, but not a standard local account. So when I log on as administrator I'm locked down, but when I log on as a...

Thanks, Stoly. I will definitely try this. Would Windows Easy Transfer work from partition to partition, if for example I wanted I wanted to dual boot XP and Windows 7 on the same HD?
