I have found the latest batch of HP’s Universal Printer Drivers to be the very stable. The command line I use for installing the HP Universal Print Drivers on Citrix/Terminal servers is as follows:
As an IT Geek, I’m very much an introvert, or as I like to say, an introverted extrovert 🙂 One of my personal goals in life is to do Improvisation Comedy also known as Theatre Sports. It’s awesome fun, and extremely funny when you’ve got the right mix of people and personalities playing off each other. In preparing myself for this by helping to bring out the extrovert within, and to understand the pressures of not only performing in front of a live audience, but also making them laugh, I completed a Stand-up Comedy workshop run by a very funny and clever man by the name of Robert Grayson.
The workshop was so much fun. You learn the art of how to write comedy, how to find the right subjects to speak about, and how to relate to the audience. It teaches you about “being in the moment”. But most importantly for me, I learnt how to deal with the negative demons within, and go far beyond my comfort zone to a point I never throught I’d ever reach.
As part of the graduation I appeared live on stage at Lazy Susan’s Comedy Den (Brisbane Hotel) back on 8th November. It was an amazing night. I was on such a high for days afterwards. Here is a video of my performance.
This script will manage the “PONT_STRING” registry value to control the “Don’t Show Dialog” Setting for some of the Outlook dialog boxes that don’t have a simple way of preventing them from showing via a Group Policy Setting, etc. Under Outlook 2007 there are two particular dialog boxes that may prompt the user when a new profile is created.
WANem (Wide Area Network Emulation) is an awesome tool for emulating a WAN in your test/dev environment or even a demo lab. I use it in my demo lab to show customers how the technologies might behave in their environment.
WANem is a piece of software running on Knoppix, a well-known Linux distribution based on Debian. It comes in two forms:
As an ISO that is launched through a LiveCD at computer startup.
As a VMware Virtual Appliance that can be launched from a VMware platform.
Whenever I implement a Citrix/Terminal Server farm, I always include certain applications and tools that I believe users will get some value from, which may in-turn assist IT Support by lowering the number of helpdesk calls. Who knows???
This script addresses a known issue where Delivery Services Console (DSC) or Access Management Console (AMC) takes longer than expected to launch. Refer to Citrix KB article CTX120115 for further information.
