<0> is there a way to force a computer to boot to the cd-rom without having to press a key on the keyboard? (usb keyboard is not working and ps/2 ports are busted)
<1> Yes!
<2> IF there's no bootable partitions on any drives it will boot the cd.
<2> so you could take the drive out of the boot sequence.
<2> however.
<3> you'd need a keyboard to get into the bios. :D
<2> it doesn't look like you can do that without being able to get in the bios!
<3> replace the motherboard
<3> or buy a new usb keyboard that comes with its own ps2 adapter
<0> for some reason i CAN get into the bias tho
<3> not some random ps2 adapter you found.
<2> oh.
<3> enable USB keyboard support, then, in the BIOS.
<2> yep.
<3> that should allow you to hit that key to boot from CD
<0> hrm...didn't know there was that feature...i'll take a look
<0> thanx
<3> my digital voice recorder is so awesome because I can go to a meeting high as a ****ing KITE and have a nice, clean, accurate record of what happened so I don't have to worry if something went over my heard or I acidentally ****ed up as I was jotting down notes
<0> my bios doesn't appear to have that option
<4> :D
<3> is there anything related to USB such as "enhanced USB support" or "USB MS-DOS COMPATIBILITY" or any crap like that, sorta?
<3> i'd be surprised if there isn't some kind of option
<0> sorry i'm an idiot...i found it and it works...thanks a lot!
<3> oh good.
<3> you're welcome, dude.
<5> yawn
<6> Im trying to run a select statement in VBS, like select GroupName case "finance"
<6> is that possible?
<6> for active directory
<7> well.
<7> select is a function
<7> select cast GroupName
<7> err.
<7> select case GroupName
<7> case "thisone"
<7> code
<7> case "thatone"
<7> code
<7> end select
<6> is GroupName the proper identifier?
<6> I didnt know if there was one...
<7> but i think what you're wanting to do is run a query against AD.
<6> ys
<7> which isn't what that select is for
<5> well
<5> you can do it in tsql
<5> jsut make an adsi connection
<6> Well i rather do this then a bunch of if thens
<7> Moox0r: have you even tried searching google?
<6> azure: You bet :P
<6> i can do it with if thens
<6> but usually switch statements are cleaner
<7> umm.. ok
<5> SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY( ADSI, 'SELECT field1, field2, etc FROM LDAP://DC=you,DC=tld''
<8> Moox0r; are you using ADSI ?
<6> I have the option
<6> Im new to VBS
<8> VBS is the scripting language. ADSI is a method. two different things entirely.
<5> )
<6> oh
<8> !google ADSI site:microsoft.com
<9> http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/howitworks/activedirectory/adsilinks.asp
<8> thats probably a good place to start.
<6> ok
<8> do realize, Active Directory is *NOT* a SQL database, even tho ADSI makes it look sorta like one.
<6> oh lol
<8> if you can use LDAP for your queries, you're probably better off.
<5> your gonna use LDAP at some point
<5> regardless of what language you use
<10> !info memtest
<7> http://ironfg***y1.xhostar.com/070/index.html
<8> this is probably a good place to start -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dsportal/dsportal/directory_services_portal.asp
<6> reading a book atm
<6> "Managing Windows with VBScript and WMI"
<6> theres a few chapters on ADSI
<8> its probably at leasta year out of date, books usually are.
<5> um
<5> WMI isn't what you want
<8> if you're new to VBS, what are you familiar with?
<6> php/mysql
<8> thats not even remotely applicable, ah well.
<6> set objFinance = GetObject("WinNT://moo/Finance")
<6> im using an if-then here
<6> it works
<6> but i would use like 6 of them
<6> As opposed to a switch like im used to
<8> anyways, here's the actual master reference for ADSI... http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/active_directory_service_interfaces_adsi.asp
<6> ok
<8> VBscript has a case statement of some sort.
<8> I forget what, I hardly never use VB
<8> !info WSH
<6> select ins it?
<6> isnt it*
<8> oh yeah, SELECT CASE. .... http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/script56/html/91c340af-8ceb-4f46-86fa-7871eefb3b01.asp?frame=true
<11> haha nice
<11> shot my resume out to some jobs on hotjobs/monster
<8> which is NOT the same as a SQL SELECT statement, heh.
<11> last night ... already got a call on my cell this morning from one of them
<8> do NOT confuse the two
<6> select is like switch in php right?
<12> Pfft: sweet =D
<6> switch(var) case "moo":
<12> Pfft: that happened to me
<12> i put mine up and had 4 interviews the next week.
<11> ya
<1> Moox0r: Uh, no.
<1> Not at all.
<1> Oh, wait. You're talking VB, not SQL.
<13> hey guys is there a tool i can use to manae my ms sql db?
<1> I had it backwards.
<13> er manage
<1> Kung_fu: There are lots of them.
<13> damn typos sorry
<13> is there one i can modify tables within the mdf file?
<13> and thats free :D
<14> in Windows XP, I'm getting a 401.3 Access denied by ACL on resource when trying to open pages on PWS
<14> anyone have any quick ideas on why this doesn't work?
<8> does the ACL allow access by the IUSR_computername account?
<14> I don't even know how to see the real ACL
<8> thats the account that IIS/PWS runs as for anonymous acccess....
<8> CALCS command line
<13> fdiv_bug can you name some?
<1> Kung_fu: Nope.
<1> I don't use SQL Server.
<8> Kung_fu; osql is the default command line tool
<1> But I know there's a huge market of first- and third-party tools out there for working with it.
<14> peerce, looks like no, just me, system, and admins
<8> !google osql reference site:microsoft.com
<9> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/coprompt/cp_osql_1wxl.asp
<13> thanks peerce
<15> hello.
<15> I am having trouble setting up my home network
<8> Kung_fu; do you hvve SQL Server, or just MSDE ?
<15> I'm using Zone Alarm on both
<8> Kung_fu; SQL Server comes with complete admin tool
<14> peerce, this seems like a very difficult problem to solve without the cmdline, is there some magical trick I'm missing?
<8> !info zonealarm
<15> hmmm
<15> lol ;P
<13> peerce true but the box is remote and i have vpn access to it so i need a tool to access the tables from another server.
<8> you want your firewall at your internet gateway
<8> Kung_fu; osql works over the network, so does the SQL Server Admin tool
<14> yes, yes it does
<16> i hate zonealarm
<16> its evil
<13> k
<14> I use the SQL Server Admin and Query Analyzer over VPNs all the time
