Evaluating Applications for Windows 7 Compatibility : Application Compatibility

Most organizations around the world were heavily invested in Windows XP for many years by the time Windows Vista was released. Application developers were producing products just for Windows XP. Driver developers often only considered Windows XP.

Using Wireless Bluetooth Devices : Adding Bluetooth-Enabled Devices

Many different types of Bluetooth devices are available on the market. Most have some means of making the device discoverable (visible) to other devices. Whether or not you have to make your PC discoverable to install a device depends on the type of installation you're about to perform.

Using Wireless Bluetooth Devices : Configuring Your Bluetooth Adapter

If you plan to share a single Internet account among several computers or Bluetooth devices, you should install your first Bluetooth USB adapter in the computer that connects directly to the modem or router. That will give other Bluetooth devices that you add later easy access to the Internet through that computer's Internet connection.

Deploying Applications Using Group Policy and SCCM 2007 : Deploying Applications Using SCCM 2007 (part 2)

For the package you created to be accessible to clients, you must copy it to at least one distribution point. The computer on which you have SCCM installed is a distribution point by default, and you can add the package to any other distribution points you have added using the New Site System Server Wizard.

Deploying Applications Using Group Policy and SCCM 2007 : Deploying Applications Using SCCM 2007 (part 1)

The basic process of deploying applications—or any software—using SCCM 2007 is the same as that for an operating system: you create a package containing the software and advertise it to a collection of computers. The computers receive the advertisement, through the SCCM client, and execute the instructions in the package.

Deploying Applications Using Group Policy and SCCM 2007 : Creating Software Installation Policies

When planning a Group Policy application deployment, you must review your organization’s software requirements and compare them to your AD DS organizational structure and your available Group Policy Objects (GPOs).

For example, you can unlock the taskbar, which enables you to change the size of the taskbar, such as making the taskbar taller to make the icons appear less crowded. You can also temporarily hide the taskbar to give your programs more room on the desktop.

Microsoft Excel 2010 : Using Formulas - Troubleshooting Formulas

It can be frustrating to enter a formula and have it either return an incorrect value or an error. An important part of solving the problem is to understand what the error is trying to tell you.

Protecting Windows from Viruses and Spyware : Antimalware Strategy: Defense in Depth (part 4) - User Account Control Options

Experienced computer professionals know it is bad juju to perform casual work on a system using a full-fledged administrator account because it is far too easy to blow things up.

Protecting Windows from Viruses and Spyware : Antimalware Strategy: Defense in Depth (part 3) - Data Execution Prevention

Buffers are fixed-length memory locations used to hold data. They can be adjacent to other memory locations also used to hold data. If a program attempts to write more data into the buffer than will fit, the remaining data can overflow into the adjacent memory location and overwrite its previous contents with malicious code.

Protecting Windows from Viruses and Spyware : Antimalware Strategy: Defense in Depth (part 2) - Windows Defender for Spyware Protection

After spyware gets onto a system, it can be difficult to remove. Let’s assume you have a cousin named Heather who, after admittedly visiting suspicious links on MySpace, is convinced something bad has happened to her computer. Performance has degraded noticeably. Pop-ups abound.

Protecting Windows from Viruses and Spyware : Antimalware Strategy: Defense in Depth (part 1) - Windows Action Center

Software vendors sometimes bundle security software, including antivirus and firewall products, that can install on top of the existing Windows solutions. Overlapping security programs that perform the same function, when installed at the same time, can cause conflicts and unpredictable results.

Managing Windows 7 : Managing Multiple Monitors

Sometimes a single video monitor just isn't enough. If you need a larger-than-usual working area, or if you want to view your Desktop on one screen while other people can see it on a different screen, you can set up multiple monitors to display your Desktop.

Managing Windows 7 : Controlling the Power Options

Different computers have different power-management requirements and abilities. You might want the monitor on your main desktop computer to shut down after a few minutes of idleness, but you might also want the computer itself to "stay awake" constantly.

One of the simplest ways that you can verify the updates that are installed on local and remote computers running Windows 7 and which are members of the same domain is to manually use the Get-Hotfix Windows PowerShell command.

Zero Touch Installations : Creating and Capturing a Reference Image (part 3) - Advertise the Reference Image Task Sequence, Run the Reference Image Task Sequence

ConfigMgr uses advertisements to tell computers what work they should do and when they should do it. An advertisement links the workload with a collection of computers. You have created a task sequence and now you are going to advertise it to the Operating System Deployment collection.

Zero Touch Installations : Creating and Capturing a Reference Image (part 2) - Install Packages on the Distribution Points, Create a Collection and a Computer Association

ConfigMgr uses collections as a way of targeting actions at computers. A collection can contain one or more computers. The membership is either statically defined or is generated based on a query. This query is done using data in the ConfigMgr database and can be done automatically on a scheduled basis.

Zero Touch Installations : Creating and Capturing a Reference Image (part 1)

There are a number of prerequisite packages (a collection of files shared from a distribution point) that are used during a Configuration Manager task sequence to deploy or capture an operating system. You can create them by hand, but we are going to do this the quick way by letting the Create Microsoft Deployment Task Sequence Wizard do the work for us.

Preparing and Configuring Boot Images (part 2) - Adding Drivers to a Boot Image

ConfigMgr allows you to do something that will be familiar if you have worked with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. Drivers can be imported into ConfigMgr and then added to a boot image. The next sections will deal with the process of importing drivers into ConfigMgr and updating the boot images.

Preparing and Configuring Boot Images (part 1) - Creating Boot Images

A boot image is created in the Configuration Manager Console. Drivers are added to allow access to the network and to mass storage controllers. The boot image is shared to existing PCs via a distribution point, which is one of the Site Role Services that was deployed.
