Not sure about WSUS but we have been using ITMU through SMS 2003 to apply patches. With this one can force them on the machine. ITMU also allows you to specify a specific patch in the SMS Package. All done through the Windows Update Agent and SMS. With SCCM, which is the new version of SMS they have integrated WSUS with it so things may be different in there. The only real annoyance is that creating the package is a tad clunky.
My group manages 90000 workstations using SMS 2003, we are counting the days to go to SCCM, most of the annoyances disappear with it. Also we have started using the Preferences in GPOs and it is pretty impressive what you can do with it.
Right now our cable bill is $186 a month but that includes, high speed internet, HD TV with PVR and home phone. We are planning on getting rid of the HD TV and PVR once I get my home made PVR working right
Parent is right. Nlite helps a lot and makes it much easier to slipstream. I did it to my OEM image a while back when I realized that the floppy drive had died.
I appreciate your honesty. My wife experienced a mild stroke in 2004 due to an upper neck adjustment that ended up bounding back a couple days later and pinched a blood vessel. She has experienced vertigo since which is finally subsiding. She also was seeing a chiro for years before that happened. She ended up seeing a physio therapist afterwards and since then has had a lot of the initial problems dealt with.
You do realize that you can see beads of sweat on these pictures right? They are a little more detailed than what you see on the media releases. Also if we had these for 9/11 do you think it would have stopped it? Let's see what did they have to threaten the passengers: 1. Box cutters: sure a body scanner would have picked this up but so does a metal detector. 2. Vague threat of bomb onboard: yep body scanner would have done nothing for it. Maybe the guy cleaning the plane is one of the cell?
X2 with it becoming more and more obvious that doctors and nurses in operating rooms can't remain professional and discreet, why does anyone expect a $7 an hour security guard will? You do know there will be pictures showing up on some website at some point. Probably similar to peopleatwalmart.com. But instead of some overweight person grazing in the candy aisle wearing a leopard print, it will be pasty anatomically correct and higly detailed people.
If we have learned anything since 9/11, it only took 3 planes to crash before the passengers are willing to take on any potential security threat. Any incidents since then have been thwarted, not by the stupendously effective (ha!) security but by the other passengers will to live. There is zero need for the scanners.
Let alone they don't have the EPA breathing down their necks to deal with the toxic crap that is a byproduct of solar panel manufacturing. I am sure if the US didn't have to worry about ensuring this stuff didn't get into the environment everybody would have solar panels on everything
A mammogram is proven to help Citation needed. There is more and more studies showing that unless you are high risk, the odds of a mammogram helping is pretty even with not getting one: http://medicalconsumers.org/2005/09/01/breast-cancer-awareness-month-read-this-before-you-have-a-mammogram/ http://bcaction.org/index.php?page=breast-cancer-screening-policy On a similar (yet offtopic subject), same can be said with pap smears, it is coming to light that only reason why doctors push their patients to have them annually is basically something they can bill for. HPV (an STD) is the main cause of cervical cancer and more people a year die from melanoma than cervical cancer (http://www.cancer.org/downloads/STT/500809web.pdf) yet you don't see doctors pushing for moles to be removed. Prostate cancer still kills more people but yet men are not expected to bend over on a yearly basis unless they are high risk. Why is that? There is also suspicion that some of the abnormal cells found in pap smears may be actually caused by the continuous scrapings that women are undergoing rather than cervical cancer thus women undergoing unecessary surgery.
See the first thing you did was assume cars are being driven by competent drivers. If this was the case, there would be: 1. No reason for red light cameras as the cities would not be able to recoup their costs 2. No tailgating or driving too closely 3. No cell phone laws
Even if all of the lights are obscured you still get the usual dolt who forgets what the rules are and blows through the intersection.
Let alone the fact that the vietnamese didn't exactly like the chinese (you know with the constant threat of invasion). The russians they liked a lot more.
This is correct. Where I work we had a bunch of local admins who were pushing out File and Print Servers but not sysprepping. What they would do is bring the machine online and then rename it. As far as they were aware everything was working fine. However, we were also monitoring the servers through SNMP and their dns name was always coming up as the original machine so all of a sudden there were about a dozen machines all named the same. We contacted them and they sysprepped the boxes and everything turned out rosey.
Catch is if you ever need to call Microsoft they would tell you that isn't a supported fix. We had a similar issue with ITMU last year where workstations were not getting a SUSClientID at all and I mentioned that and the tech (nice guy) informed me not to do that although it had worked there was a bigger issue. Basically the problem was that the WindowsUpdateAgent exe that introduces ITMU has a bug that if the DLL is same or newer it will not reregister the DLL after installation unless you used the/force (/f?) switch
With SMS I don't think it was the SID but the SMS GUID where you have issues. An example is if there are more than one machine with the same SMS GUID and one of them is in a direct membership collection and assigned the package, both will get the advertisement.
I don't see the point in NewSID (never heard of it before either but I will have to see what it does) When imaging you should be running sysprep, there is a lot more that it does than just blow away the SID.

Yeah and that is 8 cities not 7. Ottawa and Gatineau are separate since they are in two provinces. They may as well have said National Capital Region.
That's right Movies and software are not included. We are also allowed to download/upload tv shows as it falls under the "rebroadcasting" rights.
No but looking at past behaviour and extrapolating when they bring the servers down they will put out a no-cd patch.

Am I the only one who read GPP and thought Group Policies and Preferences? :)

Logitech has a model like that. I bought it for my wife's computer. She hasn't complained about it but I hate using it.
Interesting as my KVM uses the Print Screen button (ducks)

So is the ones at an airport. You can choose not to go through, you just won't get on the plane.
The interesting thing is how this affects people with abuse in their past. This could invoke psychological trauma.

Or, you run wired.
One of the first projects I did when I moved into our new house was run ethernet to all rooms

Yep. ITMU and SMS is the same thing.

Not since I discovered girls.
No no, it's "learn think" not "think".
WTF? This is the second day in a row where I have seen a similar typo like this in the summary.
