So long as you have the permissions to make the registry changes remotely, and know what they all are, and can copy all the files over, yes you can. Various software distribution packages, like SMS, Tivoli, and Altiris all do that very thing.
Beyond that, you'll have to use some other application to launch the installer in a non-interactive mode. I've seen PSEXEC used, a bit too liberally, and watched it trip various virus scanners, stopping the process cold. You can even do it with WMI. But in all cases, you cannot launch an interactive process remotely.

I don't disagree with you; particularly on the latter point(!), which is why remote desktop is handy. I was merely pointing out that you don't necessarily need physical access (i.e. keyboard/mouse/screen) to the machine, if you have network access - indeed, I've written an app that does all of those things to remote machines (although installing per-user desktop shortcuts isn't on that list!).

I'm not disagreeing either. I just don't feel up to explaining the whole process to him in a forum environment. Usually, someone who asks this question is not doing for the right reasons.
I too have written apps to do remote installs. And I've even had to do the per-user deployments of various icons! I know, it's stupid, especially when 250 people share most of the machines around here. But if you knew where I worked, it wouldn't make perfect sense to you, but you'd understand completely! And, you'd feel very sorry for me! "We just can't seem to buy the right tools for the job...but hey, I just work here, what do I know?" Sound familiar where you're at?

I have created custom log file and its key is added to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\CustomLog. But if I give a path value greater than say 100 characters for File key under CustomLog windows is not taking this path. Is there any restrictions on path length for File key in registry?

Hi,
I have a PC running XP Home OEM, however the Motherboard in this PC is failing.
If I replace the Motherboard, will the XP Home OEM activate ok on the new hardware?
I know I will need to re-install from scratch, due to the IDE drivers, and I prefer to do that anyway, the main issue is, will the existing OEM licence transfer to the 'new' motherboard ok?
Thanks..

If you obtain a new motherboard from the PC vendor (OEM), you will be fine. However, the version of the OS you have - if it's from a large vendor like Dell or HP - may not install on a generic third-party motherboard.
|
|
|
|
|
The system was custom built, and the OEM Windows purchased for it (So its not a Dell/HP style OEM). The new motherboard is a different chipset (its a Socket A system, so finding the same MB would be difficult now anyway, and I have a suitable replacement here).
The issue is, can an OEM licence be transfered like that? I thought the main limitation of the OEM licence was that it cannot be transfered to a 'new' computer, so does replaceing the motherboard make the computer appear as 'new'.
Thanks...

Can i install WinCE into my notebook? if it is possible can you help me? thank
|
|
|
|

You'd need WinCE drivers for all the relevant hardware, like the video, network etc. There is an x86 WINCE, but you then can't run non-WINCE applications, of course.
There's emulation available, would that do...?

I would want to use my notebook with WinCe

Windows CE is not an end-user operating system. It requires some critical device drivers to be linked into the operating system image, which is intended to be written to a ROM. It's intended for handheld and embedded devices. It does not have the capability of swapping to disk as the desktop does - you are limited to the amount of physical RAM in the system.
Windows CE will run on a so-called CEPC (a PC configured with specific hardware) but this is really only intended for testing parts of an operating system image before the final hardware is available.

I need to update the CLASSPATH environment variable using a batch file. I tried using the code below:
echo %CLASSPATH%
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:/Test
echo %CLASSPATH%
pause
This sets the CLASSPATH env var but only temporarily. I want to update the environment variable permanantly using batch file.
Any help apprecited.

For it to be really persistent (survive exits of CMD.EXE and reboots), you'd need to modify the registry, such as HKCU\Environment,
or HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
which I don't think you can do from a .BAT file.
Can't recall off the top of my head how you'd do it for an individual user. Oh, and I'd use \ not / as a directory separator, for consistency, or you might find the one API that can't use them interchangeably

Thanks. So is there no way from which I can update my registry key entry for CLASSPATH?
|
|
|
|

If you can find a commandline tool to edit the registry, then yes, you can. You might want to check into the Windows 2000 or XP resource kits to see if there is a tool you can use.

Does anyone know where can i download the MS-DOS system, versions 2.0 or 3.0?

I believe these versions were only available to OEMs, the concept of upgrading your operating system had not really occurred yet. If you're really lucky you might find floppy disk images of these versions around on the web somewhere.
You will probably also need a suitably-ancient computer to run them on, since they're highly unlikely to understand modern hardware!

Hi,

Hi all,
iam new to this message board.
Iam looking for some information regarding Asterisk-the open source PBX revolution.
I wasnt sure which message board to go to.
Does anyone here know any idea abt Asterisk or should I be messaging on a different message board?
Thanks heaps in advance.

Allthough I know a few users here (me included) use it, your best bet might be here:[^]
These are official Digium Asterisk forums.

thanks for the link.
As you said, you are also using Asterisk, you may be able to help me out.
Iam trying to understand how CDR's get created using Asterisk's CDR functions in the ASterisk's DialPlan. There is no proper flow as to where the CDR get created, initialised and updated etc.,
I browsed through the documentation and the source code and could find the various ast_cdr functions but couldnt understand the flow.
Can you help me with this or anyone who knows this?
Thanks in advance.
