My usual employed fixes are typically run (from an elevated cmd prompt) a ‘dsmaint recreatelhc’, ‘dsmaint recreaterade’, then reinstall the last Rollup Hotfix Pack (today for me it was RO4!) If […]

I want all PVS servers to dynamically display their environment on the desktop when a users logs into the desktop. This can be achieved by: 1) adding a new ‘personality’ variable to each device in PVS 2) scripting the import of the variables from the c:personality.ini file to the windows registry 3) setting BGINFO to […]
