Felipe, Windows XP pricing differs greatly from organization to organization. For instance, I am on the University of Nevada, Reno (USA) campus and we pay less then $50/year for each full-time equivalent employee (FTE). This covers operating system and Microsoft Office licenses for all my users

Scott, I had a similar problem and found that my admin password wasn't compatible with the linux install method -- when I used a simpler password everything worked. I didn't spend too much time working on the problem but I assumed that the samba client must not have liked it. Now, months later

Justin, I have a script that uses a basic xml file to store the resources for our network. Then a login script parses that file and maps the drives or printers for the user. The code could easily be modified to make the mappings permanent instead of the expectation that they run each time. You

Steven - I was looking at FireFox yesterday and it doesn't look like the same installer. I think the FireFox installer is just a nice way of uncompressing the files into directories (the way you had to install previous versions) -- I couldn't find anything about getting it to run silently.

Michael, I had this same problem [NT4.0 + Exchange 5.5] and ended up writing a script that would shut-down the Exchange services every night (in the correct order), backup the Exchange store files, then restart the services (in the correct order). It was the only way I was able to workout solid

Greetings list, First off I want to say thank you for such a great product. I started using Unattended last year and then got into a ton of budgeting, planning, etc so our XP upgrade, the main reason for starting to use Unattended, was delayed. But now, with all that over (for now), I have
