If you need something to deploy multiple OS from an central point in your network have a look at UDA (http://www.ultimatedeployment.org/uda/index.html). It’s an virtual machine you can use in any vmware product (like Workstation / Server/ ESX Server). And offcourse most important of all, it’s FREE! J

Initially put it in an private network (host-only) enviroment, because it has DHCP on by default and you don’t want that messing with your DHCP in an productive enviroment. Once you put an other machine in the same private network as the UDA, you can browse to 10.0.0.104 to begin setting up the UDA.

To put the UDA in an existing Windows DHCP infrastructure (link):

To Disable DHCP On the UDA:

Logon as Admin on the UDA’s web-admin tool

Click the Services link

Select the DHCP link

Click the Configure button

Disable the option for Start DHCP on boot

Click the Apply button

Click the Services link again

Select the DHCP link again

Click the Stop button

To Enable DHCP On the Windows DHCP:

Configure the following Scope Options or Server Options:

Enable the option 066 Boot Server Host Name, and set the empty string value to be the IP address of your UDA

Enable the option 067 Bootfile Name, and set the empty string to be, pxelinux.0

Then configure UDA with an free IP-address in your production environment and put it in your production environment.

Now you’ve configured Windows to use UDA as the deployment source for PXE clients in your production environment, you can continue to configure UDA.

To put you’re OS-images on an windows server (don’t user an domain controller, because there seems to be a problem with the Fedora Kernel and windows servers acting as a domain controller):

Create an windows user (for example: image_user).
Create an windows share and give user Full Control on share and full control on filesystem (if NTFS).
Mount share in UDA
- Mount Points > Create New mountpoint
- Fill in settings
Copy images you want to use to the share we’ve just created
Configure OS (For example Windows XP)
- OS > Configure
Configure Template
- Templates > Create new template
- If you want to change the .sif file UDA uses to automate the WINXP install, edit the template configuration.

And now you’re ready to boot up your PXE client

Note: First try to activate the activex component mentioned at the bottom of this post, before you replace the dll.

For you out there experiencing the same problem with the WIDCOMM bluetooth software (object doesn't support this property or method in btrezxp.dll/212) in Windows XP SP2.

I've created a patched DLL with the failing code removed:

PLAIN TEXT

CODE:

if(allIcons != null)
for(i=0; i<allIcons.length; i++)
allIcons(i).SetIcon(allIcons(i).innerHTML,-1);

Doesn't look to dangerous to remove this code from the dll which only seems to want to hide some icons.

Replace the existing btrezxp.dll with this one and restart explorer or just simply reboot and this annoying error should be history.

EDIT: Thank you to J T W pointing out that the problem is caused by an disabled activex in IE7. Read this comment.

Enabling the ActiveX control called IconX Class in IE7 Tools/Programs/Manage add-ons fixes this problem

EDIT: Thanks to MM for this entry:

Fix:
1. Enable common tasks (Tools/Options within explorer).
2. Open my bluetooth places.
3. Click on Active X. Say yes.
4. It installs.
5. Disable common tasks again.
6. Fixed.

Ik ga dit jaar voor het eerst als vrijwilliger naar Pinkpop. Dit wordt dan de 7^e keer Pinkpop voor mij en waarschijnlijk niet de laatste keer! Het weekend van 26/27/28 mei zal weer vol staan van goede muziek en ik verwacht zelf dat Pinkpop dit jaar weer uitverkocht zal zijn. Bands waar ik vooral voor ga zijn Korn, Linkin' Park, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Muse, en Good Charlotte. Hopelijk tot ziens!

Just had a laptop on my desk which refused to get Flash Player 9 working under IE7. Flash Player 9 under FF worked just fine. Applied the following fix to get it working in IE7 again.

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fb1634cb

1. Follow the instructions to download and install the subinacl tool from Microsoft here.
2. Use a text editor to create a file and name it reset.cmd. Save the reset.cmd in C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools folder.
3. Copy and paste the following content into the reset.cmd file. Then save and close the file.

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
4. Open the command window to run the reset.cmd script. Select Start, Run, and type in "cmd".
5. In the command windows type in "cd C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" and select Enter.
6. Type in "reset.cmd" and select Enter. This will run the SubInACL tool.
7. After a few minutes processing subinacl, the permissions will be reset.
8. Install the Flash Player from here: www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
9. Test the Flash Player here: www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome

After running this fix and reinstalling Flash Player 9 again, it finally worked.

Zo, Oppergod is gisteren weer een jaartje ouder (27) geworden. En hij heeft van zijn lieve schatje inderdaad een nieuwe gitaar gekregen. Echt een mooi ding en heb er zelfs een mooie gig-bag bijgekregen en een mooie band om hem om de hals te hangen. De gitaar staat nu mooi in de kamer op de standaard die ik van Harm heb gekregen en ben er heel erg blij mee!

Ook verder iedereen bedankt voor de leuke kadoos en de felicitaties!

Binnenkort is het dan weer zover en is oppergod jarig (3 Maart) en dit jaar krijgt hij van zijn lieve schatje een nieuwe gitaar, zodat hij zich weer goed op zijn grootste hobby naast computeren kan gaan toeleggen (muziek en gitaar spelen). Als het een beetje meezit ben ik dan zaterdag de trotse eigenaar van onderstaande Ibanez AEL20E TCS en wie weet zie je me er nog wel ooit een keer mee spelen. (Je kunt doorklikken op het plaatje om de details van de gitaar te zien.)
