How to make laptops log into the domain via VPN for updates?

TeachMeIT — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:25:26 +0000

Our laptops rarely connect to the domain. We have group policy on them from when they did. How can we require them to log into the domain via VPN to update their machines? Can we force this to happen or will we have to email everyone and tell them to do it? Are there applications that “phone home” and update GP?

Best Practices for Updating Win Server 2003 Patches

ODSTech — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 02:32:16 +0000

I’ve been told to be very careful about which patches to install when updating my servers – research all the patches, don’t install IE 8, etc. Is this common practice? If yes, where do I begin finding out which patches are okay to install and which are not? I’m very new at this, so pardon my uncertainty.

Ethernet Not Available

Mikimichelle — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:04:35 +0000

I recently updated my windows because my c: drive quit working. I had to install windows on d: drive in order to get my computer to even work. I then updated my c: drive with windows update (I had to have windows on the computer in order to update my c: drive-c: drive was missing a system 32 file so could not read windows that is why I had to install a different version on d: drive, once I did that I could update c: drive with windows home edition). The problem now lies in the fact that some of my old files show, and some don’t but I can see that the same amount of storage is taken up so I know they are there. The bigger problem is that my ethernet no longer shows in either version on both drives. Help please, I’m okay with computers but not great.
