Microsoft has made energy efficiency a key design element of Windows 7, focusing on better power management for end users and centralised tools for IT pros, company executives said Friday. Company engineers sought to make power management features more accessible than previous versions of Windows while at the same time, giving people the ability to customise settings. The operating system, which will be released in October, by default is smarter about what to turn on when, according to company executives. For example, the Bluetooth wireless services won't be activated until a device is connected and the DVD spindle will not fire up as often. full story > http://hardware.silicon.com/desktops/0,390...39442314,00.htm

it should work just fine, why do you want to go from Windows Server 2008 to 2003 anyway ?

from a client try and do a nslookup query nslookup and paste the results here also, can you post your sccm server logs here in zip format ?

it sounds like your dhcp server is not telling the pxe client where the pxeboot.com file is so is your dhcp server on the same server as the SCCM server or another one ?, if its on another one you'll need to configure options 60, 66, 67 iirc

when importing the pc using computer association, if you only use the MAC address do you see any problems ?

In a move to basically outflank the EU antitrust investigation, Microsoft has announced that all version of Windows 7 shipped in Europe will not include Internet Explorer 8 by default. This is reminiscent of the Windows XP N editions, which did not include Windows Media Player, but the difference here is that Microsoft will not ship versions of Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 in Europe. more > http://www.osnews.com/story/21657/Windows_...lorer_in_Europe

hi all i'm back from a weeks vacation without access to a computer, yes i had my mobile phone (old sony ericsson K610i) but surfing on that is not a pleasant experience and some functions just dont work, like banning or deleting spammers so, i came back to find 21 spams on the forums, that sux and i apologise for them getting through and not being deleted on time i've now re-instated a ban on the email address family *@gmail.com and hopefully that will calm things down, in addition i will now start looking for new moderators to join the crew any volunteers ? cheers anyweb

1. yes SQL will grab that memory and more until no more memory is left, unless you tell it (SQL) to limit the amount of memory it can use, see attached screenshot, change the value for Maximum Server memory MB to something that will leave more free for other tasks, but read the SQL best practise guides while you are at it, also, why are you not using SP3? 2. the length of time is based upon your Discovery settings in Site Settings 3. what do you mean it is not automatically registered ? and your client questions... 1. if client=no then no advertisements will work verify the firewall on your clients, is it on ? try turning it off to see does this behaviour change

no its not necessary, once the boot images are created you can reuse them

yes i believe that it has to create the image first locally, then it uploads that wim file to the server, at least in my experience it has cheers anyweb

what user did you do that as and did you try a Refresh in the WDS gui ?

good work Murda now I have a challenge for you, using what you have learned about deploying Office 2007, document the steps to do it here in a new Topic so that others may learn, please include screenshots cheers anyweb

the errors i see are which is usually DNS related.. the erst of the log looks ok though, so what is the exact failure you see here ?

first check the all systems collection on the server, is your client there and does it say 'client=Yes', next look at package status in the System status on the server to see that your packages are listed as ok, dont forget to distribute your packages *add them to a distribution point...* next you can check the logs on the client in c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs here is a full list of the logs and what they are for:

That's it ^, i found it by searching for Internet Explorer 7 in my All Windows XP updates with the following Search Folder Criteria

disable the firewall on the client try again, does anything happen ?

yes you can make separate packages for the language packs and the office 2007 pack, otherwise you'll be wasting a lot of bandwidth

Microsoft's original plan was to release Windows 7 three years after Windows Vista, which would put the release date somewhere in January of 2010. Microsoft already made it clear that it would ship sooner, before the holiday season, but we've now got what is most likely the official release dates. Windows 7 will be released to manufacturing at the end of July, with the actual release date being set for October 22 - 2009, that is. The release dates were first unveiled by Ina Fried, and later confirmed by Ed Bott. This probably makes it the first Windows version to be released ahead of schedule, putting an end (for now) to the various jokes about new Windows versions always being released behind schedule. Fun fact: Windows 7 will be released almost exactly 8 years after Windows XP, which was released October 25, 2001. Microsoft also confirmed that there will be a guarantee program under which people who buy computers with Windows Vista close to the launch date will be eligible for a free or discounted copy of Windows 7. Details are unknown as of yet, but as with previous incarnations of this program, computer makers will decide pricing information. more > http://www.osnews.com/story/21602/Windows_...unch_October_22

did you remember to do the MDT pxe filter ?

have you tried adding a Restart step in the Task sequence between the office install and sp2

no, sccm will grab the space as needed on the drives, if you want to stop it from using a drive then use a file called NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS and place it on the root of your drive that you DON'T Want used

from your log and and

you can have multiple distribution points on several servers and you can decide what package goes to what distribution point(s) when you actually create the new DP for the package, does that make sense ? see the screenshot, it has TWO distribution points, one is on my actual SCCM server and the other is on the WSUS server which was added as a server role (sup) and then I added a distribution point role to that server also, now when i look at the distribution points listed for Adobe Reader 9 I see both the sccm server standard DP and the DP on my WSUS server.... you can have as many or as few as you need depending on your package needs and location to ADD a new Distribution point to a server you must add the Distribution Point Role to that server (new roles...), you cannot add this role unless you have a server available, so first Add a Site server, then add roles.., in the screenshot below, the WSUS server was added as a Site Server by doing as follows, once I added it as a Site Server I could add additional roles to it, for example, the Distribution Point role. cheers anyweb
