			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was trying to install Windows 7 Sp1 on a laptop and I was getting an &#8220;ACCESS DENIED&#8221; error with no further errors. After a bit of tshooting I ended up running <a title="processmon" href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645" target="_blank">processmon</a> and it turned out there was a DENY set on the C drive for USERS, that means when the service pack was attempting to install it would not be able to create the C:\32893928109093829312\ folder.. that&#8217;s one of the first steps.</p>
<p>I removed the DENY permission and everything worked well.</p>
<p>process mon is a great tool, Good luck</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was getting mega stutter and low fps in battlefield 3 beta, It was stopping me from playing at all. Best after loads of playing around, I ended up following this guide and it worked.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>Clean it with<strong> Atiman Uninstaller v.6.0.0.msi</strong>. Download <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?76yfas13pwcnhq6" target="_blank"><strong>LINK</strong></a></p>
<p>Run it with administrator privilege. Some antivirus software will give false alarm but it is just a false positive.</p>
<p>Then install Catalyst 11.9 + ( Catalyst 11.8 CAP5 <a href="http://www.overclock.net/ati-drivers-overclocking-software/1126263-catalyst-11-8-cap5.html" target="_blank">http://www.overclock.net/ati-drivers&#8230;11-8-cap5.html</a> only if you are crossfire).</p>
<p>Disable ULPS <a href="http://www.overclock.net/amd-ati/667144-crossfire-disabling-ulps.html" target="_blank">http://www.overclock.net/amd-ati/667&#8230;ling-ulps.html</a></p>
<p>During Catalyst install, if you get any error messages, ignore it and let it complete. Restart PC, then go to folder where the files extracted/unzipped to, find in CCC2 **.exe then perform repair.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote>
<p>After rebooting and finallay loading the drivers, Battlefield 3 worked perfectly!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was checking out the Forefront console ( I have been deploying many virtual servers/clients) for my studying, I came across alot of old stale computer records (see image1), I wanted to quickly remove old records that have not made contact for a few days, as they are messing with the reports etc. (see link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2272146 )<br />
Basically run the tool on the FCS Server, you can choose the date/time to delete from, I would check the log before actually applying the /doremove switch.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.buttonclicker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/fcs-server.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-450" title="fcs server" src="http://www.buttonclicker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/fcs-server.jpg" alt="" width="351" height="216" /></a></p>
<p>Get the tool here: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2272146" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2272146</a> (you need to request it to be sent)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know there are many guides around, The only difference here is that I want to do the quicker (alot infact) format, instead of the normal slow one.</p>
<p>To do this, you need an existing <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vista/7 Machine</span> and a USB Stick.</p>
<ol>
<li>Insert USB stick</li>
<li>Open Command (cmd.exe) as administrator</li>
<li>type (followed by enter)
<ol>
<li><strong>diskpart</strong></li>
<li><strong>list disk </strong>
<ol>
<li>You should note the disk that is your USB drive (disk 1 or 2 etc, not usually disk 0)</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Select disk 1</strong>
<ol>
<li>If disk 1 is the correct one for your USB drive</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Clean</strong>
<ol>
<li>This will WIPE the disk drive completly</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Create partition primary </strong>
<ol>
<li>this will create a new partition that will use 100% of the space on the USB drive</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Select partition 1 </strong>
<ol>
<li>selecting the newly created partition</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Active</strong>
<ol>
<li>activates the partition</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Format fs=fat32 quick </strong>
<ol>
<li>this will format the partition in fat32 quickly</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>assign</strong>
<ol>
<li>assign drive letter</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>exit</strong></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Now you can just copy all the files on the CD/DVD/ISO to the newly created partition on the USB Drive.</li>

<p>Some notes: FAT32 has a file size limit of 4GB, meaning you cannot copy any single file that is larger than this. Many DVD ISO are larger than 4GB and you might forget the filesystem type in the months to come <img src='http://www.buttonclicker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been using DPM 2007 for a few months now and here are a collection of thoughts and annoyances.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Automaticly resolve alerts</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">Basically, when you get an alert such as &#8220;Replica Inconsistant&#8221; due to any number of issues you will be sent an alert and also one is logged in the Alerts tab, This is fine and very useful although if the issue is fixed (server back online, service running again etc) the alert will just sit there, gathering dust. Should it not just go away into some other (closed/repaired) area or filter? I mean its getting silly. (see image)<a href="http://www.buttonclicker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/erorros.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-390" title="erorros" src="http://www.buttonclicker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/erorros.jpg" alt="" width="364" height="82" /></a></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Windows 2003 System States</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">This has been the biggest problem for me, I have yet to workout what is going on (fully) but it seems that <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>if</strong></span> for any reason you get an error/warning related to the backup of system_state (in event log) it will cause a failed backup. In my case the error is related to Certificate Services, its a warning and using NTbackup it will backup fine, but with DPM all I get is errors and failures. I will it would just do a Competed backup (dirty mabey)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Agent Installation</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The agent installation is seamless and quick, but it would be good if it enabled firewall exceptions on install.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">
<p>On a good note, It is miles better than anything else. I feel very confident with the backups and so far have had no issues that require a large recovery or a loss of critical data. I highly recommend this for admins that do not have endless time to manage backups and monitor for issues. It is a simple but very effective solution to a nessicary requirement.</p>
