    Installing Software from a Server to Workstations

    Okay, I have Group Policy Objects in the Group Policy Management program with a .msi assigned under Computer Configuration > Software Settings > Software Installations. However, the software still hasn't been installed on the workstations even after restarts. What could be the problem? Thanks!

    Installing Software from a Server to Workstations

    Thanks for your response. I am not too knowledgeable about the server (I am not the proper I.T. technician), but I know we are running Windows Server 2003 on a domain. If you need any more information I can try and obtain it.

    Installing Software from a Server to Workstations

    I work in an architectural office and there are many different workstations that need both specific and general software loaded onto each of them. Usually I would go to each machine and manually install the software, but now that the number of machines and software is increasing, it is more...

    Can you suggest a motherboard?

    Thank you all very much, but in the meantime I have been doing some searching and I have come to the conclusion of an EVGA 680i (A1 Revision), but is there any reason why one of the suggested boards would be better? Thanks again!

    Can you suggest a motherboard?

    I'm looking for a motherboard that will go very well with these components: Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 2.40GHz (1066FSB) (Socket 775) Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Kit (x2 - 4GB - I do a lot of heavy video and sound editing on Vista, and I don't mind...

    Reinstall with same DVD?

    I'm thinking of uninstalling Vista and reinstalling XP until a couple of months have passed. As I own a retail version, am I allowed to uninstall now and reinstall as many times as I wish using the same DVD? Thanks!

    BIOS detects 4GB RAM, WIndows detects 2GB.

    Sorry to pass over everyone's posts like this, but I disabled SLI Broadcast Aperture, and the BIOS tells me I now have 3.9GB of memory (Windows says 3.75GB). It seems like I may have to disable something else aswell, would anyone know what it could be?

    BIOS detects 4GB RAM, WIndows detects 2GB.

    Wow! I activated something called "Memory Hole for PCI MMIO" and now the BIOS and Windows now say I have 3.5GB! However, for some reason, the sound coming from my speakers is EXTREMELY crackly and unbearable, and I still don't have the full 4GB. Any more suggestions?

    BIOS detects 4GB RAM, WIndows detects 2GB.

    I have a theory that this problem may have something to do with lack of power to the memory slots. When I first said I remember seeing the BIOS list 4GB of memory, it was with my previous PSU, but I changed it about 6 months later to a more powerful one, and I didn't check if 4GB was still...

    BIOS detects 4GB RAM, WIndows detects 2GB.

    Thank you again everybody for your continuing support. I will try a MemTest overnight tonight (8:31 GMT here), with my 4GB. In the meantime, are there are other things I could try?

    BIOS detects 4GB RAM, WIndows detects 2GB.

    Okay, I've figured that I am not going to MemTest my RAM unless I absolutely need to; it spent 3.5 hours test one stick so it's a bit time consuming. However, I have tried many different RAM combinations in the slots: Ones which worked: 1 2 1 & 2 1 & 3 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 (Obviously I can run...

    BIOS detects 4GB RAM, WIndows detects 2GB.

    The test of my first stick of RAM in slot 1 is now executing, however will I have to test each stick of RAM in EACH slot, or can I just test 1 stick in all slots, and then only the remaning sticks in the 1st slot?

    BIOS detects 4GB RAM, WIndows detects 2GB.

    Thank you everybody for the replies: JSD7878, here are my responses: 1)LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert 2)MB supports up to 4GB of memory. 3)I removed them all, and reseated them firmly. 4)The contacts are very clean. 5)All of the memory modules are the exact same type, made by Kingston...

    BIOS detects 4GB RAM, WIndows detects 2GB.

    I have just noticed that my BIOS now says I only have 2GB, I'm pretty sure when I first put the computer together that it said 4GB. Anyway I started a MemTest, here is the description it gives me: Athlon 64 X2 2612 Mhz L1 Cache 128k 21410 mb/s L2 Cache 1024k 5319 mb/s Memory 2559m 1700 mb/s...

    BIOS detects 4GB RAM, WIndows detects 2GB.

    When building my computer, I made sure that I was future-proofed in terms of RAM, so I installed 4GB of RAM (4 x 1GB sticks). My problem is that Windows only detects 2558 MB not the full 4096 MB. I find this very odd, as my BIOS reads that I have 4GB, but Windows doesn't. (BTW, this was the case...

    Invalid Drive Specification

    Now I have used a bootdisk, I can ask it to run setup, however I get this message when I try: -------------------------- Please wait while setup initializes... Cannot create temp directory. If you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive, you will need to create an MS-DOS boot...

    Invalid Drive Specification

    Okay, now after a long time I finally got and used a boot disk, but when I try to boot from it, it asks me to remove the disk before it can begin booting. Also, if I try to run boot95a.exe in DOS it says this program cannot be run while in DOS. What should I do? Thanks!

    Hi-Def or not?

    If my monitor can display resolutions of 1920x1200 does that mean it is "HD Ready"? As the vertical resolution is far above 720... Thanks!

    Setting Up A Network

    Thank you very much cbmudd! It worked because my laptops were both set on domain instead of workgroup. Thanks again!

    Setting Up A Network

    The only way I can get into Entire Network on my desktop PC is via a Workgroup, is this still correct? When I tried to get into it on my laptop, the Entire Network was not in Network Places either, and trying to access Workgroup says I do not have permission to access this network resource.
