Thanks for the clarification. I just stumbled across this and thought it would be useful but I don't know much about scripting so I thought i'd ask before I pulled any hair out trying to get it to work.

Hey Guys, Should this work for XP Pro? Here is what I'm using: find C:\datfind -name '*.dat' -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \; But I get: File not found - '*.dat'

I'm running XP Pro and I've tried that but even using the -v switch it doesn't seem to actually do the defrag. When I defrag using the GUI it takes about 45 minutes. When I use the method you describe it takes less than 5 so can it really be defragging?

I found another post that provided the script below to run an unattended defrag. It works fine until it reaches section in red. The problem is the script is looking for a window that says "Defragmentation Complete" but the window that comes up at completion is called "Disk Defragmentor", same...

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't resolve the problem but I got around it by putting the user's hard drive into my computer.

I have a Dell Dimension 4600 that I'm installing a ScanSnap s510 scanner and an HP LJ1020 printer but they are conflicting. As long as I turn only one of them on it works but as soon as I turn on the second device I get a message saying "USB Device Not Recognized". I've connected the same 2...

The VPN is configured to use the LAN because (as I stated above) there is no land line to connect.

The VPN is configured and it does connect if I have the user log onto the computer instead of the domain. If the computer is trying to dial out when there is no phone line connected, the VPN will never have a chance to connect so why does it matter how it is configured?

It does try to dial out.

I haven't tried it but will it actually attempt to dial out on a phone line because this user doesn't have a regular land line.

I do have that checkbox but how is that going to help me log on to the VPN before logging on to windows?

Below User name and Password is the Log on to: window but my only options are our domain the "this computer".

We are using the SonicWall Global VPN client. I have a remote user whose computer was purposely not connected to our domain. Now she needs to be connected to the domain which I was able to do while connected through the VPN. However, the user cannot logon at the windows logon screen with her...

Has anyone had problems with the AC Adapters for the HP Compaq nx9600 laptops going dead. We have a dozen or so 9600 laptops and we purchased an extra adapter for each one. In the year that I've been here I have had 10 or more die for no reason. I call HP support each time and until recently...

One of the owners has asked me if there is a way to look at another user's email messages. Is this possible with exchange 2003? He is looking for an email the user says never arrived.
