Work smarter, not harder.
What’s the deal with eOpen – I’ve been trying to download exchange 2007 for a long time now but the best it can do fir me is a couple hundred bytes/second and a 9000 hour transfer time… Exchange 2009 will be out by then.
The download manager AND the browser download both trickle to little or no bandwidth… what kinda crap is that?!?!
EDIT: June 7th, 2008 (I might need the year): This software still isn’t done downloading.
No really; how do you do it?
I’ve looked through all of group policy and the closest you can get that I’ve seen is to allow installs with ‘elevated privileges’ which I then found out ONLY applies to MSI packages… not EXEs. What I really want is for whatever user is logged in to be the full local admin of the computer they are sitting at.
The trick? Do it remotely without ever logging into the remote computer locally. It would be far too annoying to go to each computer and manually specify that their user is part of the bulitin/administrators (local admins) group. Oh yeah, thats not even an option on Vista either. All remote computers have a different random password set for the Administrator.
So, without granting someone ‘Domain Admin’ privileges, how do I enable users to install software on their own? Currently I have to RDP to each machine every time someone wants Firefox installed! Let alone they aren’t even allowed to setup a tunnel using OpenVPN’s software.
So, I ask you internet, how do you make this happen?
Adding your own CA cert is simple, you just need to know where to add it in group policy! Check the picture below! Just go under the ‘Trusted Root Certification Authorities’ folder shown below and right click, then choose import. This way, all new computers on the domain will never get any cert errors.
Yeah, well I was too. Let me just say that it’s not on their website and it takes a month for them to respond to email. The model I needed was the M5700 Series. Through googling, I found this site.
Which linked me to some German site that had a German ‘i accept’ box i could click and then download the driver.
Thank goodness!
If that link does go down, i re-hosted it here.
If you’re having trouble installing the driver, because you don’t have a floppy… try picking up a USB floppy drive.
