Well,

What Pointsec does is it modifies the MBR and encrypt's the drive so that before Windows even begins to load, you're prompted to authenticate through pointsec. Once you do that you're able...

At the place I work, we use software called Pointsec.

It encrypts the drives so if they're stolen, the data is not accessible. Well, we currently have 3 different versions (4, 5, 6). Version 5...

Spiceworks is my saviour!

3 days of jogging it, condensed into a few hours. The higher ups were suprised when I came back with the inventory at around 2PM yesterday.

Thanks CeeBee!

Does anyone know if it's possible to pull the machine make, model and serial number from the registry?

This would save me hours of work! I need to do an inventory of all the equipment here at...

shamus,

How are you attempting to upgrade to IE7? Are you doing it via Windows Update or did you download the installer? I worked on a PC that was having the same issue via W.U. I downloaded...

Can you show us a screenshot?

Over 45GB of free space but I bit the bullet and re-imaged the PC and all is well. I would of loved to have figured it out, oh well.

I've just noticed that random files are compressed. Is there one command that will go through the drive and decompress all the files?

It seems that the profile is unloading correctly. I've installed the Profile Hive CleanUp software from MS and there is no change. Event viewer doesn't show me anything useful. And nothing is...

Is this possible at all?

In the US it can be purchased at officemax.com. Don't know about anywhere else.

I'm buying enough to build a battery to protect my whole area.

Well, starting in November Microsoft is going to push IE7 as a critical update, so IE6's days are numbered.

Why thank you all very much!

I figured it out!

I use XCOPY and the /Q switch disables displaying the names of files being copied.

So I've developed a small batch file I run after a new PC is imaged that installs a few things that I used to install manually, this thing saves me a good 45 minutes!

First it copies the files...

Are you in the process of creating another image and including the drivers folders like I mentioned earlier? If so, please keep me up todate. I'd love to know how it goes for you.

You can chalk this one up to user error.

I had a stray quotation mark in there. Once I removed it, it worked like a charm.

Have you checked the startup folder or the registry?
