Added to the benefits of RemoteApp is that you can create an .msi file from its distribution tool. With an .msi file you can use Group Policy to automatically distribute the RemoteApp as you see fit. After run once and the credentials are saved, the user will never no otherwise that the application is remote. You could even use certificates for authentication and bypass all user interaction altogether. The icons looks the same, the shortcut is in the same place, and all they see is the app window. It's a beautiful thing to see in action.

It's going to help make several server based LOB applications much more secure and easy to use in the end.

re: Putting those batch commands to sleep...

Lorentzen — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:50:28 GMT

@PPP's statement.

You could use the START /WAIT, or the CALL function as these will both make the calling batch file wait for the called batch to complete. My understanding is that CALL should only be used for other batch files but, it has worked for other executables in my experience. And the START function actuall starts the process in a new window, so I generally use the START /MIN so as to start the new window minimized.

call /?

Calls one batch program from another.

CALL [drive:][path]filename [batch-parameters]

START /?

Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]

[/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]

[parameters]

Thank you Bob Hood - that was exactly the oversight - didn't consider FTP would be affected by those other rules with larger scoped protocol listings

re: Lazy man's way to track user logon/logoff

Techie — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 15:47:34 GMT

Hi,

I am on Win 2003 standard ed server and i am not the I.T admin and I don't have access to the active directory. So, how can i track the local logon/logff on my server???

I did not find any "group policy" option but I can see there's a "local security policy" thing but I do not see any option there to call these scripts.

Any pointers will be appreciated

Thanks

Techie

Outlook Express Password Problems

Will — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 15:01:52 GMT

Outlook Express "Please enter user name and password for the following server" and will not accept password and will not send or receive emails. This has happened before, and had to pay a computer company to reset password.

Thanks.

Munawar; check the permissions of your shared folder not just the security level.

this will catch you everytime.

Drew32 — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:38:49 GMT

Had same problem for months with "The memory could not be read error"

I have tried everything I could find to eliminate the issue with no success.

I finally uninstalled the Bytemoble Acceleration client for my ATT laptop connect card and the problem is GONE!!!!

Thank God.

If you have an ATT card, go to the Tools tab, settings, accelerration and select uninstall. Reboot and the error is gone.

Hope this helps someone out.
