    Vista 64 seems to lack a bit of speed

    The need to support my clients Nope dx10. I need to support my clients!!!!! Just like when that POS ME came out. You just have to bite the bullet and support it. I have been moving to Linux for most of my user base(servers) but I do have a fair base of home users I support and I have already...

    Vista 64 seems to lack a bit of speed

    Well I just bought 2 gig of ram and a 1gb thumb drive. Going to reinstall the ghost image then check it out. BTW, yes, I agree, the advice is all valid. I was looking for people that did a memory upgrade because of this OS and the results. I really didn't have any plans to install this OS at...

    Vista 64 seems to lack a bit of speed

    Thanks gentlemen. It was a generic question as I have read the 64 doesn't shine till it's full of memory. Was wondering how true this was. The only spec I didn't post was the CPU, its a Turion 32 1800.

    help with sysprep&co

    They are referring to the beta versions. I figure MS has been doing RIS for 5 years and if you don't use any other feature of the server it would be just fine. But that's me. I'm lazy and would not want to walk around to every station and hook a cdrom into it then image.

    help with sysprep&co

    No one said they had to buy it. MS gives out eval copies that are usually good for 90 days. I would be willing to bet they could do the roll out in that time. Hell I have many Beta copies from my technet briefings that I would be will to give him. After all I never meant this to be permanent.

    Just a suggestion but why don't you take one of those boxes you have to do the install on and toss windows server on it. Run ris, do your installes then redo that one box when your done.

    Exchange 2003 Sp1 problem

    I've been there already.. No help. Thanks anyways. From what I gather, port 110 is in use when exchange trys to start it, but for the life of me I can't figure out what is using it, I mean there's hardly anything installed on the box and none of it uses port 110.

    Imaged drive in windows, took original drive out, now new drive hangs on login screen

    Just a suggestion, stick the original drive back in and since you have not been able to log in try using the "last know good configuration". If it comes back up use ghost and image drive to drive.
