  1. Hi guys (and gals), I just recently built my PC together using a G41 chipset board. Loaded all the drivers, all my software, everything is gravy. Recently found an awesome deal on a refurb XFX SLI board (I have a GTX460 and would like to option of just getting a second down the line). So essentially, is it possible to pre-load all of the nVidia 780i SATA/PATA drivers in my Win7 install and then just swap boards? I know I will likely have to re-activate Windows, but I'm ok with that. What I'd like to avoid is reloading everything from scratch (since I just did that a week ago). Should I just download all the drivers, right-click every INF file I can find and install before the swap? I'm not sure if the EXE file that comes with the drivers will work as it will not detect the nvidia chipset as its running, trying to find a way around it so I can just swap and play. Or am I asking for trouble, as it's new hardware (in particular SLI), should I just bite the bullet and install from scratch? Thanks in advance as always!
  2. Hi guys and gals, We just acquired a company and would like to setup a different password policy for the new crew. I created a new OU for them and would like to set a different password policy. The default password for policy (DPP) for our domain is fairly open as we are a small company. We would like stronger passwords for the new OU. When I create a new GPO with the stronger settings, since the settings for passwords are in the computer configurations rather than the user, it seems like the GPO only sets the password properties for the machines LOCALLY, rather than domain accounts. Tried using block inheritance, hoping it would change the domain accounts, but no such luck. When I change a password, any password is fine. If I try to change a LOCAL password on the machine, then I get prompt for complexity. For the domain, is the only option I have to change the DPP for processing domain passowrds? Thanks in advance as always! Vitaly
