Enhansoft created a SQL Query that will help you detemine the number of workstations with issues deploying Vista.

Or you could use the GSA ;-) Isn’t that right Rob?

Today i found a nice tool that can be used to extract drivers from an installed PC and store them orderly in subfolders.
This tool is called DriverGrabber and the current version is 0.4

DriverGrabber

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It simply scans your PC on all available drivers (exept the Microsoft default drivers) and put them in subfolder. This can be convenient for example if you got a machine from a vendor that has all drivers pre-installed but not yet available for download, in this way you can extract all these drivers from this machine.

 Changes in verison 0.4 beta:

  • Fixed some path bugs. Some drivers where not backed up because drivergrabber could not create a directory for the driver if they had certain symbols in their name. Thanks for your help pandera13!
  • I also put an error check when the new directory is made according to the drivers name. Now if the directory can not be created then a msgbox will pop up stating the directory name that it failed to create. If you get this error message please post it here so I can add a check for the symbol that is messing up the directory creation.
  • The Splash window now apears at the top of your desktop and not in the center. It also can now be moved around and placed wherever you want.
  • The splash window would flash like crazy whenever it went to the next step… so I fixed this so that it doesn’t flash and it is much nicer to look at.

Due to the consumer lanuch, if you have a Vista machine (even still RC2!) you can sign up and recevie free T-Mobile HotSpot service until April 30, 2007.

I can’t find information if this is valid outside of the United States, so I believe it might be limited to the US.  This is the direct link, instead of the wacky www.skysurprise.com site that was setup to market it.. :-)
