When using roaming profiles we often experiences, that there roaming profiles are not deleted locally from the users desktop, even though we have set the DeleteLocallyCachedProfiles.
A way to get around this is to run a startup script from group policies, that deletes all locally stores roaming profiles apart fro all users and default user.
Microsoft has developed at tool called delprof.exe that can do this for you. The Windows Server 2003 ressource toolkit can be downloaded here. Then find the tool delprof.exe and add it to your startup script (and the folder for that GPO startup scripts) and run it with a /Q command/parameter.

I’ve been having error 0x8007064A when installing microsoft security essentials on my HP Laptop 8530W. The solution is to find the registry key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\HP_Preload_Dummy]
I don’t really know what this key does – but deleting your I was able to run the microsoft security essentials anti-virus product installer just fine.
If you’re in a country where microsoft security essentials is not avilable, the installer can be downloaded e.g. here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Microsoft-Security-Essentials.shtml

On a couple of occasions my colleagues have managed to have there VGA screen upside down using some kind og keyboard combinatino. Although it is possible to actually work with the screen upside down/rotated 180 degrees – the trick/keyboard combination to bring it back is ctrl + alt + down arrow (or up arrow).

For some time we have experienced problems with the following error-message from the Cisco VPN client running on Windows Vista:
reason 403 unable to contact the security gateway
Enabling the log on the client shows this error:
Unable to bind to IKE port. This could be because there is another VPN client installed or running. Please disable or uninstall all VPN Clients other than the Cisco VPN Client.
Following another help-article on the Internet, we stopped this service running on the computer:
IKE and AuthIP IPSec Keying Modules
After stopping this service, the user was able to contact and logon to the gateway. You should however note, that you should not stop the service, if the protocols are being used on your network.
