I tried Spark but it felt really slow on our really slow computers. Pidgin was available in Ninite and I've had no complaints.

You could probably store it all in a csv and pull it in that way if you want to fancy it up.

Gyshall posted:Do this: The IEAK has existed for several versions of IE and basically lets you make your own custom IE installs with whatever default options and bookmarks you want. You can also make a reconfigurator that will make an existing install like your custom version but I don't think it was ever intended as a management tool.

Obviously they care enough to use snip-tool to send you a screenshot, so teach them to use "CTRL-C" when the error message appears which will (if the software was written correctly) copy the title and text of the prompt. I've bolded the problem with your plan.

Is there any best practice for where to install legacy programs that insist on putting everything in program files and letting every user write there? One vendor's solution was to put their stuff in C:\vendorname, another vendors was to put it under public documents\vendorname. Would a legacy app folder similar to /opt on linux be the right thing? I'm finally getting rid of some XP machines for 7 and I'd like to start out right.

NIC drivers are helpful for letting your new machine communicate with whatever is installing everything else. I don't know how much of a problem this still is but Broadcom and XP

Nothing about that sounds like a good idea. Spend some time working on your sales pitch for why you need megabux to pull this off properly. Everything you've suggested in this thread will only end with you attached to a dialysis machine with no health insurance after you get fired.

There is a gpo setting to limit access to optical drives to the logged in user. AFAIK it isn't enabled by default, but it is what I used to let people burn media on our XP machines.

Does Windows Fax Server look at caller id or does it look at the number the fax machine sends? I've found most people never configure that so the logs on my mfp are useless.

I like PDQ Deploy and they make Java packages if you pay for a license. I don't pay and I don't use Java so I have no idea if their setup will work for you.

Coredump posted:When practicing with ESXI, Server 2012 and dhcp, how the heck do you keep the esxi box from handing out ip addresses on your real network? Create a second vswitch not attached to any real interface, create a second nic on the 2012 vm attached to that vswitch, bind the dhcp service to that nic, and then have whatever other virtual machines you use for this only be on that vswitch and access them through the vsphere console. The best way to do it depends on what you're trying to do and how long this needs to work/good it needs to be. That's what I did when playing around with a router virtual machine.

This can blow up on you if everyone has a million files on the server and logs in at the same time, if they don't have enough local disc, etc etc etc. Also I haven't messed with that in an age so don't take my advice.

Because those are relatively new and don't provide a nice front end for managing it all. PDQ Deploy also provides some nice integration with PDQ Inventory.

Biggest problem would probably be the 2012r2 box defaulting to newer things in SMB that 2000 doesn't support. Also any Group Policy things you depend on that don't exist in 2000. I have a Windows 10 Pro machine and a 2000 Small Business Server DC and everything pretty much works

Can you script turning the locking on and off locally? Then do whatever you want to prevent the GPO from applying that to that particular machine and have it run the script when he logs in and off. It's ugly, but if you absolutely have to make it work then I don't see a better way

Martytoof posted:Not really "enterprise" but it's AD so I figure you guys would know best. If its a lab, and you have a single domain controller, you can shut down the domain controller virtual machine and snapshot it. Do not snapshot while it is running. Do not do this if you have more than the one domain controller. Do not plan on rolling back to this in several months or you'll be fixing computer accounts.

Has anyone seen details of how the delivery optimization service is supposed to work? I have four Windows Home machines on satellite internet at a remote site, would be really nice if they shared a download instead of insisting on grabbing it themselves. The only things I turned up while searching were what buttons to click to turn it off.

wyoak posted:This isn't really an enterprise question because I hope workgroups are pretty rare in 'real' networks but people here might know the answer... Network discovery and nothing else I know of. If you want cross subnet workgroups you need a WINS server. If you don't need that you might want to look into Homegroups. They handle computers appearing and disappearing pretty quickly, and if everyone is using a Microsoft account to log in are still allow fairly granular permissions. No Microsoft accounts means its read, read/write, or nothing. They work over IPv6 link local addresses so there is no way I know of for them to talk across subnets.
