Everyone is on Facebook now. Even Grania!
I joined ages ago – but I concentrated on LinkedIn for the business connections.
Vista deployment
Just working on the final pieces of the Vista deployment thread for the Sales Conference.
I’ve got a whole hands-on lab from the fine lads at ENGL – should be good.
Windows 2000
Windows 2000. Ah.
That takes me back.
Building more Vista migration stuff for the Sales kickoff; and I’m shocked how different Windows 2000 and Vista are in terms of resource requirements.
I’m running Windows 2000 quite happily in a machine with 196MB RAM on a VM; Vista takes at least five times that for the same performance.
Code names.. something stinks
I blogged last year on ZENworks project code names.
We recently almost announced a project codenamed “Brown Trout”.
Innocent sounding to the US reader; I’ll let the rest of the English speaking world share what the context is.
Hint: It’s brown, streamlined and lives in water. But it’s not a fish.
ZENworks Configuration Management – imaging, PXE and DHCP
ZENworks imaging can use the Preboot eXecution Environment – PXE – to start it’s imaging engine.
When the imaging server components (TFTP server, Imaging engine, Proxy DHCP) are running on the same server as the DHCP server there are certain configuration changes that need to be made.
Read the ZCM10 documentation for more.
Three steps to happiness – I’ll document this for Windows; SLES is broadly similar.
– set the Proxy DHCP to run correctly
– set Proxy DHCP to start automatically
– add DHCP option tag 60 to the DHCP scope
Demos, disks, partitions and cleaning up
I’m building demos and lab machines for the Sales Kick off in Orlando next week.
I had a load of laptops that needed cleaning up before reinstallation. I even had a disk from my old production laptop that still had PGP whole disk encryption bootguard on it.
Trinity Rescue Disk helped out again. Delete the partitions; re-write the master boot record. Invaluable.
