I am trying to use logon scripts for particular users on a standalone windows 7 ultimate pc. I cant figure out where to place my .bat files. I learned how to do this on Small Business Server 2011 but Win7 doesn't appear to have a sysvol directory. What other location I need to use on this standalone to run my scripts??

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am eligible for educational discounts on Microsoft software. However, the only Windows 7 listed for a discount is Windows 7 Professional Upgrade Version (for $65). I do not have ANY operating system installed on my computer... can I still install this and be okay? Or do I have to have a Windows version already installed on my computer?If this helps, I have a hard drive (that may actually be damaged, I need to check that) that already has Windows 7 Ultimate installed on it (educational version, 32 bit... I need 64 bit). I'm wary of using that hard drive and disk (I just moved the hard drive to a desktop with all-new components) because the disk had problems when I was installing... I had to take it to my University's IT for them to install it (the code wasn't working).

View 1 Replies View RelatedDownloaded the beta of the Microsoft's new rootkit/malware detection utility that runs from a bootable CD that you create after downloading.Not a bad idea conceptually - boot the system from a known clean, read only medium and have that clean OS perform a scan of your hard drive.I was interested and curious so I ran it. It found what it deemed malware, mostly in very old e-mail archives from Outlook Express, but in a few other places as well. For each item it found it had a recommended action (for example 'disinfect', delete, quarantine, etc.). I told it to go ahead and perform the recommended actions.A window with a progress bar popped open and it started trucking along briskly, but progress began to slow geometrically, and soon the progress bar was not moving at all. I could see the disk access light flashing on the screen, but absolutely no signs of life from the display. I waited an hour and it hadn't budged, but the disk access light was still flashing.finally decided to reboot. Held the button in for the requisite 5 seconds and the reboot started. It noted that the last shutdown had been 'improper', so it performed some clean-up and then booted. Got to the login page where the various accounts are displayed and I thought I was out of the woods. But after a few seconds a C++ error box popped up saying that my video driver (nvvsvc.exe) had been asked to shut down in an unusual way.I didn't know quite what to make of that, but decided to log in. And that is where I have been for the last week.After keying in the password for any of the accounts, I get the message "Preparing Your Desktop" which just hangs there. If I do a ctrl/alt/del I can get a menu that allows me to start Task manager, but that is it. The desktop and explorer bar never come up. I've tried running Control Panel utilities by using the New Task button in Task Manager, but they all give error messages where the error box doesn't have the name of the program but rather one of those long GUID type strings inside the curly braces {} telling me that I don't have access to run the program. Even though I am logged in on an account with administrator privileges.So that is the lay of the land. I am able to run non-Windows programs from Task manager, and a few Windows utilities (for example msconfig), but I can't add / remove programs and that is a real problem because, from what I understand, if I want to try to do a 'Repair Install', I need to first uninstall SP1 (my original media was pre-SP1).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was using this product the other day in production at work and noticed that 5.0 was much slower than the 4.x versions of the product. I found that VMWare enabled SSL encryption during the conversion and this slows down the process by 2-3x. A box I used to be able to convert in 4 hours and 50 minutes, took 11 hours and 50 minutes. Anyway, you can easily change the behavior. Navigate to C:ProgramDataVMwareVMware vCenter Converter Standalone and edit the converter-worker.xml file.
Near the bottom, you will find this section: Code: <nfc>
<readTimeoutMs>120000</readTimeoutMs>
<useSsl>true</useSsl>
<!-- Delay is specified in milliseconds, -1 denotes the default.
<acceptTimeoutMs>-1</acceptTimeoutMs>
<requestTimeoutMs>-1</requestTimeoutMs>
[code]......
Then simply restart the VMware vCenter Converter StandAlone worker service.
I accidently screwed up the administrator account and once, i tried to install a software and it came "You need a administrator password to proceed"so i typed it then it came the error"this user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer i tried a lot but its still not working and i cant install anythin.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed a new 64 gig SSD in my computer. I also have a 2T secondary hard drive.The SSD is not big enough to contain all the stuff that will eventually be in "My documents",i.e. under "users" so I need to move the users directory to my secondary hard drive but havewindows behave as it were in its original location.I did some research and found the following technique which seemed plausible (and several people said it worked for them)
1. Install windows normally.
2. After install, boot from installation disk.
3. Get into the command prompt by clicking "repair".
4. Use robocopy to copy c:users to d:users. The command line should be: robocopy c:users d:users /mir /xj /copyall
5. Verify all files copied successfully.
6. Delete c:users. Command line should be: rmdir /s /q c:users
7. Delete c:documents and settings. Command line should be: rmdir "c:documents and settings"
8. Create junction to new users directory. Command line should be: mklink /j c:users d:users
9. Create junction for the old "documents and settings". Command line should be: mkdir /j "c:documents and settings" d:users
10. Restart computer.
Note:When in recovery mode the disk drives end up with different drive letters than what the normally have.Consequently my SSD drive which is "C" became "E" and my hard drive which is "D" became "C". Confusing, but I adjusted the above commands to reflect this.All seemed to go well until I rebooted. The computer booted up fine, but when I entered my password to log in windows complained that it could not find my profile. Since I could not log in at all I was forced to re-install windows. Supposedly, this is doable and I NEED to do it asap as my SSD will not hold all the stuff that will eventually be in "users".
I am cleaning a laptop out and i created a brand new user name. I deleted the other 2 users using the control passwords2.
So the machine starts and i select the user. Process usage is very high and it says 50, but actual user shows about 9. I click show processes from all users and i find the culprit as well as 50 processes. I deleted the users so there shouldnt be that option.
Why is there more processes if this is the only user, why does it even have the option?
What are the all users and default users folders? Do I need them or can I delete them if I am the only user.
