Pre-Order from here, but only ships to US and Canada, perhaps Garth can send one over for you.

Looks a little on the Dark Side to me ;-)

Just waiting for them to invent the toaster that's shaped like a lightsabre - you waive it over the bread to toast which would be FAR more exciting.

Good catch Dave - where do I get one?

I want one! So badly! It'll match my Darth Curtains, bed spread, slippers, tea mug and my favourite marks and spencers jedi underwear (red for sith of course!)!!!

Cor dave you turn up the most amazing stuff on here! 10 outa 10!

The guys in my team are looking at me in stunned amazement, because i'm all excited about Darth appearing on my toast in the morning! Typical non-star wars geeks sigh :< :>

re: Extending Schema for ConfigMgr and 'A Referral was returned from the server'

Rob — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:26:51 GMT

I prefer giving the "always worried and paranoid" A/D admins the LDF to review, then when they are distracted and in total shock at all the attributes and classes going in I secretly run the EXTADSCH executable, get 100% implementation success and then say soothing things like "there there A/D admins, it's all over with now, and look, all that worry and it worked" !!!

Joking aside, as this should be thoroughly planned and taken very seriously, as A/D is the make or break on a companies productivity ... I'd love to hear stories about how updating the schema using EXTADSCH has caused customers headaches. I've only been in one place that reported issues with the update a few years back, but they didn't really manage their A/D very well and it was in a right state before they performed the upgrade. I guess the moral of this story is ... if your A/D is flakey then fix it and keep it fixed, then upgrade the schema ;-)

Good real world experience\information there David.

re: Odeon refuses to show 'Rambo'

Rob — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 12:54:48 GMT

That's amazing ... commercial reasons?

Rambo, in his mid-50's, his "golden years", with all those years of expert training and experience going to waste, damn right he needed to be wheeled out so he could go rescue someone!

But he won't grace the Odeon screens. Oh well, their loss as i'm DEFINATELY going to watch this as I hear the body-count is HUGE and sly stye has some great one liners and finishing "techniques" !!!

re: TechNet Plus Subscriber Downloads is changing...

Rob — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:08:21 GMT

Wish I had brought in the screenshot I took of the Technet subscription sites response to my humble request to get Technet Plus Direct on Saturday\Sunday. It said something along the lines of ...

"Sorry but we cannot complete your request, as the site is down for maintenance. It will be back up at 4:30 PDT, November 28th 2007" or something very akin to that!

Maybe they are going backwards before they hit us up with the new site!

re: Remove the advanced client

Rob — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:56:29 GMT

Nice approach Dave!

Don't forget for the PSEXEC examples you can also tell MSIEXEC to remove the SMS Client

MSIEXEC /X {ProductGUID}

You can find the GUID here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
