Conflicting records in SCCM after re-imaging a system using PXE or DVD/USB

2010-02-18T22:07:00.003+11:00

I've found that when if I re-image system that is already in SCCM a new record is created but the old record for the asset is not removed. Its actually very frustrating as it means that the wrong record can be put in a collection and therefore never work the way it was intended. The duplicate/conflicting record doesn't appear if you re-run the task sequence the run advertised programs within

Roxio CD Creator 000D error

2009-12-01T08:09:00.002+11:00

I had trouble installing Roxio CD creator on a Fujitsu Lifebook (e8420) it kept giving me "000D" error which isn't very helpful. Turns out the windows 'My Documents' folder was re-directed to h:\ and I didn't have a h:\ mapped to anything. This was the MSI throwing back a Pre-requiset failure based on it didn't have access to the 'my documents' folder.Using the Subst command fixed the issue. "

The folly of Xcopy.exe

2009-07-20T10:38:00.003+10:00

Problem: Xcopy.exe prompts me to ask me if what i'm copying is a file or directory?Tech Details: I have 2 files I wish to copy. 1 file already exists in the destination(and is read only) and the 2nd may or may not exist in that location (pending who was upgraded)Note: Since file 1 is read only, Copy.exe doesn't like to overwrite read only filesSoXcopy c:\1.txt d:\temp\1.txt <-- this will work OK

HP laserjet 'Scan to E-mail' slows my printer down (9050,9040,9000)

2009-07-16T12:51:00.002+10:00

Problem: i've just configured my printer to use scan to e-mail and now the interface is slow and printing is slowed down.Reason: If the you have your main server entered as DNS hostname or alais of that hostname it slows the printer down as it has to resolve the name to an IP address..

PSA - Batteries

2009-04-24T08:34:00.002+10:00

To whom is interested. Let it be known that batteries are a consumable resource just like ink in your printer.You don't log warranty calls when your printer runs out of ink. You just buy more ink and put it in the printer. A similar case is like your car you don't take it back to the vendor and ask for more petrol when it's empty you go an buy more petrol for your car.Batteries DIE all the time,

Reserving future payments idea for bank accounts

2009-03-27T08:35:00.001+11:00

To Whom It May Concern:I would like to suggest a new option for future payments.Why can't we hold a reserve of money for scheduled payments when setting up future payments? Surely this would be a sensible option instead of late payment fees and warning users that if there are insufficient funds in the account that you'll be charged etc. I know that leaving it the way it is now would be a cash cow

Stephen Conroy you're a tool.

2009-02-12T07:50:00.003+11:00

Stephen Conroy I move to include your name "Stephen Conroy" in the ban list of the Internet filter trials. I find your name offensive. Just one more example where a minority with a big voice is able to influence the majority whom oppose your Internet filter. I still haven't actually seen one user comment who wants the filter to go ahead.
