by Guest joheng- 0 replies

I have a Server 2003 domain and I’m trying to set up a GPO for roaming profile with Windows 7, using one (test) user account and two Win7 computers for testing. The GPO, for now, is set to delete cached copies of roaming profiles to ease simulating users moving to new computers. I get the following results: · When using roaming profiles without excluded directories or folder redirection everything works fine – the user can log on and off the two computers without problems and the network profile gets updated as it should. I set the theme to Basic and this setting is roamed between the two computers. · When excluding or redirecting any of the “…

by Guest RogeB- 0 replies
- 50 views
I have restored my computer three times by now. For some reason windows 7 64bit hangs up for five minutes trying to boot. This is annoying. After I pick a prior restore date, every thing is good, my operating system will boot up in about 30 seconds. Any way I did the restore again today. I was thinking it was a microsoft update download that was causing the problem. But as soon as I retored my computer and it started right up, I noticed that Security essential Icon was reddish, so I brought up the control menu and clicked the update box. After the new virus definition download completed and the castel turned green again. I thought I was done turned off the computer. Then …

windows mobile device center does not automatically install
by Guest Dave Williamson2- 0 replies
- 153 views
We have seen more Windows 7 SP1 (maybe RTM, still investigating) in the corporate environment do the bong bong when the first USB attached device is attached to the machine but Windows Mobile Device Center is never triggered to install. We end up having to download the Windows Mobile Device Center installer and installing. I understand that a standard user does not have sufficient rights to allow WMDC to be triggered and installed, although I don't see why it still can't be triggered and an elevated prompt given to allow the install; however, that is a different issue from what I'd like to understand. In the same scenario where a local administrator is logged in the …

problem with a build I just did an update/rebuild with a gigabyte ga990fxa-ud5 sata mb, amd fx6100 zambezi 3.3ghz 6 core cpu, g. skill ripjaws x 8gb ddr3.
