Microsoft issued a formal security advisory late on Tuesday on a reported zero-day flaw in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. However, the software maker also said that the flaw does not affect the final version of Windows 7, contrary to earlier reports. "Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a possible vulnerability in Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) implementation," Microsoft said in the advisory. "We are not aware of attacks that try to use the reported vulnerabilities or of customer impact at this time." more > http://newsletters.silicon.cneteu.net/t/588823/586174/974697/0/

checkout this post from Sherry Kissinger regarding SQL on remote servers http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrgeneral/thread/4b4ae8f1-18ff-484c-bde2-5ed64b14ab79 and I quote and that's from Microsoft *in bold* I'm not saying it won't work, i'm just saying I would do SQL on the same box as configmgr, always.

hi Matt I guess by now you've noticed the Deploy 7 guide I put together ?

Event Overview We focus on automating Windows 7 operating system deployments using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager in this webcast. First, we cover how to automate hardware and software inventory using Asset Intelligence to determine what applications and hardware are needed for deploying Windows 7. Next, we examine deploying Windows 7 packages, and we discuss how to add Windows 7 packages to System Center Configuration Manager and then the deploy packages to bare metal machines and existing Windows Vista clients across the enterprise. Presenter: Kevin Remde, Senior IT Pro Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation Signup: http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?culture=en-US&EventID=1032416867

so start a new topic describing what you have done and what the error is.... EDIT here is the topic along with the solution

this one Disable automatic restart on system failure

are you sure the client isn't installed, the Windows 7 control panel is different to say the least, in the windows 7 control panel search for config and see does the configuration manager client show up if not, check your firewall settings on the client

when windows is at the boot menu press F8, do you see any options on the windows boot menu _

i think your image is bluescreening, hence the apparent loop can you disable the automatic reboot when it bluescreens to see what the message is ?

f.y.i I upgraded one of my labs from the SP2 beta today to SP2 RC, by simply running the splash.hta on the extracted files, it gave me the choice to upgrade so I did.

sure do, read this one and while you are at it read What is Windows SIM and how can I use it cheers

you can just rip the capture part of the build and capture ts and advertise THAT to your windows 7 capture collection, if i get time i'll do up a post feel free to beat me to it though, the more that contribute here the better cheers niall

look at this link then

yes you need it, by the way sp2 RC is out today !

Today at Nokia World 09, Nokia will be talking more about their upcoming new “mini laptop” the Nokia Booklet 3G which was announced last week. Nokia has just announced that the Nokia Booklet 3G will ship with Windows 7. The Nokia Booklet 3G comes with built in A-GPS functionality. Because of this, it can take advantage of the Windows Sensor and Location Platform which means your PC and programs can know where they are for “location aware” computing. With built in 3G/HSPA capabilities, it will also utilize Windows 7’s mobile broadband enhancements. The Nokia Booklet 3G + Windows 7 is an exciting combination! more > http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/2009/09/02/the-nokia-booklet-3g-windows-7-awesome-mobility.aspx

hi all, I've setup a new link on the front page to give you the possibility to Buy windows-noob Gear, I hope to develop on this depending on it's usage, so do me a favor and spread the word, the T-shirts are all unique and will contain cool errors from PXE OSD deployments in SCCM on the front side and the windows-noob.com website address plus catchphrase 'showing you how to do IT' on the back comments are welcome cheers niall

if its mandatory then it will kick off within its schedule (set it as soon as possible if you want it quickly), or do as Peter suggests and run it on demand by making it non-mandatory and apologies for the misleading advertisement screenshot, i'm obviously tired !

you can speed up the format by editing the task sequence and putting a checkmark in 'quick format' in the Partition Disk 0 section.

have you added vista network drivers to your boot.wim images for the optiplex 960 ?
