indexing

Hi! After several days and multiple attempts I didn't find any 100% solution for this trouble. My search and investigation scopes:

Direct access to registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\WorkingSetRules HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\Protocols\Mapi HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\Sites\ and other keys...
Windows Search 3.X interfaces like ISearchManager using Microsoft.Search.Interop
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook classes: NameSpace, Store
AD policies (useless, no effect :(

Preferred technologies: VB.NET, C#. This solution must be deployed within a large organization (about 5000 wokstations).

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If it was pre-existing, it would just use the existing computer name from AD. Then in our unattend.xml file we had Computername=%MACHINENAME%… >>> More

Can't get PXE boot working on WDS + Linux DHCP server

Hi I'm trying to get WDS to PXE boot some laptops. The university is running a (linux) DHCP server for the entire network; we can't run our own. We can (and have) set options in that DHCP server to point to a tftp server and file (pxeboot.n12 on the WDS server we run). The client seems to get the… >>> More
