Kids
It's great to read the posts that Craig has had lately about his kids. All I have to say about mine right now is....My girl is only 2 1/2, but she's a pistol and I'm in for trouble.

Are you trying to use the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB ADO provider under WinPE 2005?

Don't bother trying, it appears that support for this provider has been removed from WinPE 2005.

From the chm file:

The /ADO switch for the BuildOptionalComponents.vbs adds ADO (ActiveX Database Objects) support for Microsoft SQL Server connectivity.

It would be nice to be able to query Access mdb databases from within WinPE. At this point, it looks like you'll have to switch to XML or SQL. I'll post a work-around/fix if I get it figured out.

Wanna help get the MAWMUG user group off the ground?

Approximately a year and a half ago, I started the Mid Atlantic Windows Management User Group (MAWMUG) which serves the Washington D.C./Baltimore M.D. metro area. I have not been able to devote enough time to this effort and am seeking anyone who may be interested in helping with any of the items listed below.

  • Recruit individuals who are willing to present to the group.
  • Find meeting space and schedule meetings.
  • Provide announcements to the community on the group activities.
  • Maintain the group web space at myITforum.com.

If you are able to help with any of these or other items not listed, then please send me a note.

Thanks!

Dan

A clear indicator that I haven't been to the forums in a while

My Outlook folder where all my myITforum forum post alerts get sent to is now up to 850 messages (and that's pretty much just the scripting related sections). Sorry to be away for so long folks, but I had to go through a few hurdles from work for approval to post. Plus, I've been totally immersed in a coding project and hope to be able to come up for air soon.

It's hard to believe that summer is almost over already. I hope that everyone has had a good one.

Thanks for the interest...

...in my SMS Console Replacement Project. I've been very busy on other tasks and haven't had time to get it ready for the public. I was originally hoping to have had it done a LONG time ago, but it wasn't to be. I am now hoping to get it ready this Fall.

Thanks again
