  • Illustrated Tutorial: Creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive for Windows XP
    Illustrated tutorial: Creating a bootable Version 1.0 February 15, 2007 USB flash drive for Windows XP By Greg Shultz The ability to boot Windows XP from a USB Flash Drive (UFD) offers endless possibilities. For example, you might make an easy-to-use troubleshooting tool for booting and analyzing seemingly dead PCs. Or you could transport your favorite applications back and forth from home to work without having to install them on both PCs. However, before you can create a bootable UFD, you must clear a few hurdles. You saw that one coming didn’t you? The first hurdle is having a PC in which the BIOS will allow you to configure the USB port to act as a bootable device. The second hurdle is having a UFD that that will work as a bootable device and that’s large enough and fast enough to boot an operating system such as Windows XP. The third hurdle is finding a way to condense and install Windows XP on a UFD. If you have a PC that was manufactured in the last several years, chances are that its BIOS will allow you to configure the USB port to act as a bootable device. If you have a good qual- ity UFD that’s at least 512 KB and that was manufactured in the last couple of years, you’ve probably cleared the second hurdle. And once you’ve cleared those first two hur- dles, the third one is a piece of cake. All you have to do is download and run some free soft- ware to create the bootable UFD.

  • Windows Server 2012 Refresh: How to Manage the Migration
    WINDOWS SERVER 2012 REFRESH: HOW TO MANAGE THE MIGRATION A guide to overcoming the challenges during the transition from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS 5 Performing an application inventory 8 Upgrading Active Directory 9 Considering a hardware refresh 12 A move to virtualization 13 Certification, compliance and security 2 “Let’s face it. It’s the applications you’re running that are driving use of Windows Server 2003. Those are the things that are the beginning and end of what the Windows migration is all about.” AL GILLIN Program Vice President for Servers and System Software at IDC 3 INTRODUCTION With support ending for Windows Server 2003 in July 2015, companies need to ensure that their servers will adequately support the latest server OS and critical applications. By upgrading to Windows Server 2012, companies can increase their parallel computing capabilities and gain improved control over power consumption. Upgrading to the latest version of Windows Server brings the opportunity for businesses to lower their operating costs. “It’s an expensive proposition to continue supporting those old operating systems,” said Al Gillin, program vice president for servers and system software at IDC. Running one operating system rather than varieties of Server 2008, 2008 R2 and Server 2003R2 will make IT data centers more efficient. “If you have four different versions in place like that, that makes it more difficult for you to run your infrastructure,” Gillin said. When preparing for a Windows Server migration, companies should test all applications using a software tool such as Dell ChangeBASE before going live in the new OS.

We refer to them as Windows Updates in this document. Customers can schedule the download and installation of Windows Updates whenever they are available and make sense in their production environment. Avid tests the updates within several days of their availability. However, customers do not have to wait for the testing to be complete before installing the updates. Our current testing methodology is to utilize Windows Update on a representative sample of Avid products upon notification of new Security Bulletin availability by Microsoft. These systems are updated and observed while under test. Once the test period has completed (approx.

  • No More Excuses: Windows 7 Makes It Easy to Manage Computer Power
    • Products that earn the ENERGY STAR® prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. www.energy star.gov NO MORE EXCUSES: WINDOWS 7 MAKES IT EASY TO MANAGE COMPUTER POWER CONSUMPTION ORGANIZATION-WIDE Here’s how you can take advantage of Windows 7’s new power management features The University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh is no stranger to the idea of sustainability. In 2003 it became the first university in the state to join the Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership. Its green initiatives also earned the university high marks from the Sierra Club, which ranked the university nationally in its Cool Schools survey. Given this commitment to green, it’s no surprise that the university first deployed computer power management back in 2005, and that it was one of the first Energy Star power management success stories. At that time, the University’s computers ran the Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems, neither of which included native tools for the central administration of power management features. To implement power management settings on these machines, the University used third-party software from ENERGY STAR called EZ GPO. For detailed information and resources concerning Now that Windows 7 has CPM client management features built in, it’s much the power management of easier to administer power management. This case study will show you how the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh took full advantage of computer power PCs running Windows XP, management features on Windows Vista and Windows 7 clients managed by please see the ENERGY STAR Windows Server 2008.
