Zxian Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 How about this - GeneralMandible, would you perhaps place a disclaimer in the original post or change the topic title to include something like "BETA". At least that way unsuspecting people don't think that it's a fully finalized setup that'll work for everyone.Hopefully that'll make more people happy, and encourage more bugtesting and fixing than what I've seen so far.

Yzöwl Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I don't need to worry, I live and breath scripting; the point is that it shouldn't be done like this.For instance,check if the service is running, if it isn't start it.stop all running processes unless they are 'this', 'that' or 'the other'dynamically create the drive letter to be used.

GeneralMandible Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 I've added "BETA" and a disclaimer to the original post.@ZxianThanks for the constructive criticism. That's the kind that can be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMandible Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've made some changes to where it now has a prompt after extraction that asks if you want to install, view the ReadMe file, or cancel. It also deletes the profile (fixed path, but will change later) after the user logs back in. I would like to move this to a VB app, but it might be awhile.

D8TA Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) How can I modify date and time for the scheduler within the Scheduled Task. I want this to run at 11:59pm every Saturday. Can't find what file to modify to correct this.never mind I found it and changed it. Thanks again and I look forward to assist with your Beta testing.Thanks!

GeneralMandible Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm looking at making some changes to this:Emptying temp files for all user profilesDefragging all local fixed disksChkdsk on all local fixed disksI also want to try to move it all to VBscript (no more REG, BAT, CMD files).I'll post again when I have these three features added.

GeneralMandible Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 I'm looking at making some changes to this:Emptying temp files for all user profilesDefragging all local fixed disksChkdsk on all local fixed disksI also want to try to move it all to VBscript (no more REG, BAT, CMD files).I'll post again when I have these three features added.I've updated the packages & I was able to accomplish all of these tasks. I finally sat down and looked at putting it into VB and it only took me about a week to get it "working." I still have some error handling to do, but it's working.I switched the defrag to DirMS due to MS's inability to defrag large files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
