Virtual printer that saves the .pdf in a server

Sounds more like you're looking for a document management solution. A simple print driver to print to pdf isn't going to organize and create audit logs for you.

Microsoft Warns Windows 7 Has A Serious Problem

And what, exactly, do you propose Microsoft does to fix a problem with ASUS motherboards that they did not design, they do not support, and they do not sell? It's up to ASUS to release a BIOS update or software patch to reconcile this, Microsoft is not responsible for maintaining third party...

New Insights into Old Office and New Windows 10

But this entire thread is about the fact that it does not work fine. There is no guarantee this software will work anymore, whether you're running Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, or 10 you are at risk. Any software can conflict with it, even a recent windows update, and it will not be fixed. It's...

It has to be me. Why can't I DL a W7 ISO in English?

Where did you get your product key from? Was it one of those fly by night online resellers that always seems to have digital software keys cheaper than everyone else? If so, odds are they sold you a key from a non-US region (usually how they get these keys so cheap in the first place). Unless...

Could someone please design a not horrible OS?

So wait. Instead of taking two seconds to remove a handful of live tiles you aren't interested in from the Start Bar and your *own personal* notification preferences in the action center, you'd rather throw the whole OS in the garbage? This is my start bar, and it took me less time to set it...

New Insights into Old Office and New Windows 10

Office 2003 was End of Life back in 2009, and extended support was cut in 4/8/2014. I'm not surprised you're having issues installing updates for it on Windows 10. It's time to move on, Office 2003 doesn't even fully support the new office filetypes that have been around since 2007, not to...

VPN and Windows Domain Questions

https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/113805 for instructions on configuring the VPN. I believe ASUS also supplies its own VPN client software that you can download from their website. Just make sure your firmware is up to date when you install it, there have been a good number of SSL...

VPN and Windows Domain Questions

Their router is ultimately what determines the VPN configuration, if anything being on a domain makes it all easier. You'll need to configure your router to allow SSLVPN connections and configure account credentials or XAUTH against Active Directory to log in (and depending on the router you...

Microsoft Teredo

Teredo is a tunneling protocol for sending ipv4 datagrams over ipv6 networks. Are you sure you or comcast didn't enable some ipv6 WAN functionality on your modem/router?

Outlook and the workplace

How often are you legitimately interacting with a PST file though. When we still had POP users with gigs of email, it was maybe once a month tops someone had an issue out of a sizable number of users. Yeah they suck, but they're better than nothing. Any mail client has to store mail...

Is there a way to group icons on taskbar?

Why not just use the built-in windows functionality? Create folders full of shortcuts somewhere and then pin each folder to the start menu? Then you just hit the windows key and click the folder you want, and open the app you want. It's probably the closest you're going to get, I've never...

Renaming a user in AD?

It's as simple as right clicking the object in AD and selecting Rename. Note that their home folder will *not* change automatically if it has a username variable in it, but it will work just fine and you can manually change it if you care. Likewise, any locally stored workstation profiles will...

New terminal server, MS license question

For every "machine," you need an individual office license. That license is valid for any user logging into that machine. 10 people logging into one workstation/server = 1 license. 10 people logging into 10 separate virtual machines hosted on 1 server = 10 licenses. 5 people logging into 1...

IE Vs Firefox Registry Favorites Vs Bookmarks

Uh... We're on IE11. I'm looking at my favorites in the C\Users\<username>\Favorites folder. I just added a bookmark and it instantly showed up in that folder. No registry backups or convoluted compilation involved.
