Installing jfw9 during a windows unattended setup?
by Dave 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Hello, Might be slightly O.T so please respond privately if necessary. I'm doing work with a custom windows xp pro unattended setup. I'm wanting to install applications along with the setup, one of which is jfw9. I've heard it's possible to do a silent install, but not sure how to do this, nor even if it is possible to package the file so it would install. Thanks. Dave.

Hi, I seem to remember someone on here was using or had used outsourced Exchange hosting at one point. Has anyone here used it, specificly if they have an Active Directory environment already in place internally? Thanks.

Hi Barry: How does PerfectTracker work other than the home screen? How easy is it to figure out what tickets need immediate attention, for example, a ticket you've been assigned that someone else added notes to since the last time you saw it?

Hi Andrew: Thanks for your help with the e-mail and the other info. Its good to know I'm not alone with my frustrations. I've e-mailed a list of my issues to Adventnet, but so far they're not too open to helping, and our managers want to put this ap at the center of our department. Thanks again Ryan -----Original Message----- From: "Andrew Hodgson" <Andrew.Hodgson(a)allpay.net> To: "blind-sysadmins" <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: 7/31/2008 1:25 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Service Desk Plus Hi Ryan, Actually I can help a bit with this. We use Adventnet's Password Manager pro, and I have the same type of issues as you, specificly the popup windows which seem to pop up in a frame rather than a new window, and the various fields which are read-only, and require various clicks on a calendar to get the data in them. I only use it when I really have to, and remember all other passwords.
