hi all, I've setup a new link on the front page to give you the possibility to Buy windows-noob Gear, I hope to develop on this depending on it's usage, so do me a favor and spread the word, the T-shirts are all unique and will contain cool errors from PXE OSD deployments in SCCM on the front side and the windows-noob.com website address plus catchphrase 'showing you how to do IT' on the back comments are welcome cheers niall

if its mandatory then it will kick off within its schedule (set it as soon as possible if you want it quickly), or do as Peter suggests and run it on demand by making it non-mandatory and apologies for the misleading advertisement screenshot, i'm obviously tired !

you can speed up the format by editing the task sequence and putting a checkmark in 'quick format' in the Partition Disk 0 section.

have you added vista network drivers to your boot.wim images for the optiplex 960 ?

take a look at this

The final release of Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 (1541.1MB) has been posted on the Microsoft Download Center. This release of Microsoft's standalone virtualization server for small- and mid-sized business customers is a vast improvement over the first version. Here are a few of the new features the software giant is listing for R2: * Support for physical computers with up to 8 physical processors * Support for 64 logical processors and for running up to 384 virtual machines with up to 512 virtual processors * Support for using up to 1TB of physical memory (virtual machines can use up to 64GB each) * Support for clustering * Support for live migration * Support for CPU Core Parking, which allows Windows and Hyper-V to consolidate processing onto the fewest number of possible processor cores, and suspends inactive processor cores. * Support for Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) in CPUs. On Intel processors this is called "EPT" while AMD calls it "NPT." SLAT adds a second level of paging below the architectural x86/x64 paging tables in x86/x64 processors, providing an indirection layer from virtual machine memory access to the physical memory access. In many virtualization scenarios, hardware based SLAT support can offer performance improvements. * Support for VMQ, Chimney, Jumbo Frames and other networking enhancements * The ability to hot add / remove SCSI virtual hard disks more > http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/08/microsoft-hyper-v-server-2008-r2-arrives-for-free.ars

make sure that you have correctly added a boundary for these non-domain computers....

make sure that you have created distribution points for the boot images and updated the distribution points

here's one i made earlier, does this help ?

as you may already know I've created a guide for Deploying Windows 7 Enterprise (RTM) using SCCM. Have any of you tried deploying 7 yet and what were your results ? cheers niall

i think you have answered your own question, now all you have to do is test it

for SQL Server and SDK Server enter the server name of the computer running SQL., so if that is PC-1426 or whatever then enter that

wsus is just a warning you can ignore it and install it later can i see a screenshot of this server and are you logged onto the domain ? is sql Server on a different box to sccm ? not recommended.....

im not sure if im following you, i created a testuser called testuser which is only a member of AD users and remote desktop users on the windows 7 client, i then initiated remote desktop to the windows 7 client from within sccm and logged in as testuser, all fine so far, i then right click on my computer and chose manage, it popped up UAC asking for an administrative username/password which I duly entered and clicked ok. I then was shown the Computer Management MMC so what am I missing here ?

what does your smsts.log file say ? how big is this image?

does this help ?

after applying http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970093 I managed to capture Vista sp2 here's a screenshot of it. Steps to get this working were to 1. download the hotfix from Microsoft from here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970093 2. extract the hotfix and install it by right click on it and choose Run as Administrator 3. once the hotfix is installed it asks you to do a site reset, answer yes 4. Update the boot images as described below After the hotfix is applied, you have to update all boot images to include the fix inside the boot images. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Open the Configuration Manager Console window. 2. Locate the boot images under Computer Management\Operating System Deployment\Boot images. 3. Right-click every boot image, and then select Update Distribution Points. Finally, locate the newly created package in SCCM it will be called KB970093 - Advanced Client Hotfix - WDN where WDN is your site code right click on it and add a distribution point and then update the distribution point, I then advertised this package to my All Windows Vista computers collection, and verified that it installed before doing a Capture Test. cheers below is the logfile generated from a succesful capture using a Capture from standalone media *CD* smsts.log

Smartphone maker Nokia on Monday revealed that it will soon deliver its first netbook, the Nokia Booklet 3G. This Windows 7-based netbook appears to offer standard netbook parts, but will provide up to 12 hours of battery life and integration with Nokia's other devices and services. "We are in the business of connecting people, and the Nokia Booklet 3G is a natural evolution for us," said Nokia Executive Vice President Kai Oistamo. "Nokia has a long and rich heritage in mobility, and with outstanding battery life, premium design, and all-day, always-on connectivity, we will create something quite compelling. In doing so we will make the personal computer more social, more helpful, and more personal." The Booklet 3G certainly seems to address these needs, though more details are coming in early September, including pricing and availability. For now, we know that the Booklet 3G features netbook-standard parts like an Atom processor, a 10.1-inch screen, an SD card reader, and optional 3G wireless network capabilities. It also includes an HDMI port for connecting the device to HDTV displays and integrated GPS hardware. full story > http://windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/102699/102699.html
