Hi everyone, I need your comment and suggestion. There are three type on automating of windows xp installation. The first one is unattend installation, the second one is disk duplication and the last one is remote installation service (RIS).
I have a question for disk duplication. In the documentation, I will need to have a reference computer and install any application as need and configure its configuration as what I want. Then I have to create an image file in order to deploy to the other computer in order to make your computer have a standard application and software configuration. The document mention that I will need a third party software to do an image file for windows.
From here, I have two question:
1. Can anyone give me a hyperlink of a software that do an image file of the windows?
2. What is the distribution media (CD, DVD or network connection) that will need to transfer an image file and setup on the target machine? because after install windows and install some other application, the size of windows will be increase its size which I suspect that it could not make an image and burn to CDROM.

Outside utilties include: (Note these are Windows utilties
Norton Ghost
Copy Commander 9
Drive Copy
Also there are open source solutions, but many require use of other operating systems. If you want to explore these download a Knoppix or Auditor CD (these are self booting so you do not have to load the OS on a hard drive to create your image).
Hope this helps

Dose any one have a script that enumerates the local users and groups on a workstation. I need one that can export this data to either an .xml or tab deliminated file. Do not need Active Directory just local users and group memberships.
Thanks

Hi all,
I Have following snippets thats should print a line to pdf file using
PDFCreator driver. There is something missing because Acrobat says that file is corrupted, can
anyone help
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
HDC hDC = CreateDC(NULL, "PDFCreator", NULL, NULL);
DOCINFO docinfo;
memset(&docinfo, 0, sizeof(docinfo));
docinfo.cbSize = sizeof(docinfo);
docinfo.lpszOutput = "c:\\temp\\output.pdf";
int result;
result = StartDoc(hDC, & docinfo);
result = StartPage(hDC);
const TCHAR * message = "Some text ...";
result = TextOut(hDC, 100, 100, message, (int) _tcslen(message));
result = EndPage(hDC);
result = EndDoc(hDC);
return 0;
}

I could be way off base here, but how do the StartDoc, StartPage, TextOut, etc, calls get resolved to some library that supports PDF output to a file. That's missing from what you have posted so far.

Yes, but how other programs like Word, Textpad etc. can use
this PDFCreator printer driver? Shouldn't there be a standard
way to print it using a printerdriver?
I watched that output.pdf file with editor and it was somekind
of pdf but something was missing...
So, any ideas how should I code that C code snippet?
Cheers!

You should try to find and obtain acrobate SDK in order to develop your application.

In order for your program to use any print driver, it must be selecting that printer and then perform whatever print operations you require.
Also think about using a library such as this one[^].
Also this CodeProject article[^]might be helpful in the context of PDF creation using a print driver.
It's not clear to me whether you are trying to create a PDF using a print driver or whether you wish to create a PDF directly from your own code?

Hello,
I'm trying to create pdf file from my own C code using PDFCreator's driver.
I noticed that the result file was POSTSCRIPT not pdf.
When I updated PDFCreator's driver I noticed that it contains also Ghostscript.
So, is that the real problem? When I use my code to create pdf file using PDFCreator
it just uses it's GhostScript part and that's why result is postscript not pdf.
If so, are there any other drivers that can generate pdf files, anyone know?

What I think is happening is that the PDFCreator print driver is working corectly. What is typically done is to print to a POSTSCRIPT printer and have the driver produce a file. The result is exactly as you see, a POSTSCRIPT file and not a PDF file. This file must then be input to Ghostscript which will interprate the POSTSCRIPT and produce a PDF file. If you go through the article I linked in my previous post, it explains and implements exactly that.

Hello,
I just installed a windows 2000 server. I want to be able to access this server using remote desktop connection. I saw on other server that there is a section "terminal services" in control panel, which i don't have. Should i install this from somewhere? is this what i need so that i can use then remote desktop connection?
Thank you for your help!

No, remote desktop connection should always work (although just one user may be connected at a time, remote or local).
You only need Terminal Services if you are using the computer as an Application Server. With TS, you AFAIK might need two licences of each use of the software: one per connection to the server and one for the client that is connecting.
Terminal Services just means that the server is able to provide independent sessions for multiple connected users.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, thank you for your answer.
However, i asked because i was trying to connect to the server using remote desktop connection, and it doesn't work. In the error message is is written that one possible cause could be the fact te remote desktop is not enabled.

Windows 2000 do not have a remote desktop connection. Remote desktop connection is available only in windows xp and windows 2003. In windows 2000 you will need to purchase a separate product call terminal service for windows 2000.
You might consider other available too such as RealVNC[^] but you need to read its document much more detail especially relate to security issue.

Install Terminal Services
When asked, select Administrative mode.
Then you can use Remote Desktop.

The install for Terminal Services should be on the CD, to install it, got to add / remove applications, select windows components toward the bottom is a check mark for Terminal Services. Do the install from there, once it has installed you will need to update the computer with MS, as memory serves there is important updates for it.
On the client side you will need to install remote desktop, search Microsoft for remote desktop or msrdpcli.exe.
You are limited to two people logged on to the box through Remote Desktop. Don’t forget to log off other wise it will leave that user connected.
I have and use both Remote Desktop and VNC, Remote Desktop is by far faster and nicer to use (IMHO). Give it a whirl.
BTW, I use an all Win2k environment (Win2k Clients and Server). It works...
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:
