OK - I think we've beat this horse enough - certainly to the exhaustion of my present understanding.
The doug knox program was the one I was referring to - as you probably know, it did nothing for the security settings required for this problem. Frankly I had forgotten that this thread is...
Ettienne - We do have that, but there are also things that work better for our company if locally stored even though the information is shared. Will give that some thought, but it would be quite a departure from how we do things - maybe with some unintended consequences that would be more...
Well - it's Eureka time. The registry edit (deleting search for scheduled tasks) did the trick. I can access them all quickly now (as in *immediate*).
The thing I noticed about Linux not having the delay was my clue and the final impetus to try the tweak that linney posted.
I wonder why...
Thank you both.
BBB - While I was reading both of those articles (I must confess I understood less than half of the concepts and terms used), I kept my eyes open for the one or two big differences that would account for the connection speed difference I'm seeing - not just an incremental...
Approx. half (12) of our networked computers are mostly XP Pro (with a couple each of Linux and WIN2000, and one WIN98) the other half (11) are XP Home. Without exception, from any given windows computer, in Windows Explorer, when clicking on any XP Home computer, it takes 23 to 26 seconds for...
Once more, I am answering my own question, but perhaps others can learn from what I discovered with a little prompting from someone on another forum (they didn't have the answer, but they got me thinking enough to wander around in Windows Task Scheduler to find the answer).
With a little search...
Here is the problem (more of a nuisance, not a serious problem): If a computer happens to be turned off at the time of a scheduled scan, it does not start a scan or prompt the user that a scan was missed upon reboot.
Is it possible to set NAV up to prompt the user upon reboot that a scheduled...
I came back to post the solution to my own problem so everyone can learn.
What happened is that we changed our network server a couple of months ago, and everybody's ID and password got changed. Well - Windows Scheduler needs that info. to be correct to run the task. The WIN 98 scheduler is...
(I searched 6 months archives on "scan schedule automatic" - all words - with no results - I would have thought that such problems as these would have been discussed to death if they were common - sorry if I missed something.)
Background: Company with 20 networked computers; OS's are...
