Group Policy uses the User context. RSOP will tell you more about how group policy is being applied to your domain computers.

But M$ says that it should be running under the SYSTEM account

Current user should be the actual logged in user, not SYSTEM. Not AFAIK. It makes sense to me it works.

So you are saying that HKCU is for the logged in user and running a command under a different account will not change that fact?

Maybe I am missing something simple, but I don't know why this configuration works.

We have a GPO that uses GPP to modify some file associations in the registry. Currently the paths being changed are all in HKCU. This GPO is also NOT running under the user's context. AFAIK that means the registry changes should be applied under the HKCU of the SYSTEM account (Making it not apply for the logged in user). Reality is that the logged in user's HKCU is being modified. Can someone point me to a technical explanation why this is working?

@Josh The production server crashed, caught fire, and Scott had to perform another Ice Bucket Challenge on it

if you still need help, send me a PM. I can probably help you more indepth in PMs or email

I exported a list by querying the information_schema. I know there are other ways I could do this:

• Export the table and use replace function in the file. Then recreate the table
• Code the logic in PHP and make the changes via loop

Part of this is curiosity/learning, part of it is wanting to be able to make these changes quickly, part is for future use since this comes up sometimes if the DB columns were not named properly initially. Ideally, I would like this to be all contained within one .sql file that can be ran automatically during deployment.

Sorry that should say 155 columns.

same as above. We have item level targeting for color printers, but the rest all map out based on the computer through GPP and our print server

Oh I remember the joy I felt when I obtained those upgrade disks!!!! Onward with QBasic Fun!!

I can do this in php, but I would like to do this only in MySQL

We need to rename ~155 something columns in one table, and I was trying to find the best way to accomplish this. My thoughts at the moment are to query the information_schema to obtain a list of column names matching a specific criteria. My research has pointed me to using a cursor holding the results of the information_schema, and attempting to loop through the cursor. I am by no means a MySQL expert, and the syntax is too confusing for me too follow. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Any guidance will be very appreciated. Looking at you DBAs out there O_o

I am matching on "comments" and will be replacing it with "assessments"

Format of column names
day(1-5)_comments_a(0-31)

There are also some columns named day(1-5)_comments_a(25,29,30,31)_s0. I can perform these changes manually, but I would to make 1 SQL file to perform all of these changes (To coincide with code deployment)

Thanks for the link. I am always a little suspicious of companies that change their names/operate under multiple names. Ill give it a shot.

ouch. We have not fared much better. We have had to disable about 70% of their features because they did not perform as advertised and their support is pretty bad. Most of the time they don't even read your initial or follow-up messages, and paste back cookie cutter responses. I finally got in touch with someone higher up, but the best they could come up with is to deploy the new version to see IF it fixed our issues. Of course it hasn't, so now I have to resubmit new cases for everything. I used to love this company as a great AV, and their detection rates have not let us down yet, but they have no business being in a Managed Environment. Their Self-Defense Module blocks their own processes! And exclusions do not always work.

I really don't like Symantec due to many, many past experiences of their bloated software slowing systems to a crawl. I used SEPM at a previous company and was amazed at how easy it was to manage everything, and how everything actually WORKED as advertised. There are always small hiccups with new software, but with Kaspersky I have found a new definition for pain in the arse.

Thanks Scott. We decided to go with a good LSI PCIe 3.0 card.

Hey all. I saw this groupon deal, and was going to snatch it up, but I have never heard of this company. Does anyone know if they have decent training resources?

Does anyone here use this software? Do you have any ongoing issue with Self-Defense or VAPM?

Thanks Scott. Also there are 2 4pin connectors on the backplane for the fault LEDs. Is this something that I will need to purchase separately (the old cable had this included in the ipass cable)?

Hi all. We are currently building a server and have a couple questions. Could someone assist me with these?

We are currently using a link textSuperMicro Chassis . This case has a SAS / SATA Hard Drive Backplane with SES2. Our current motherboard included the I-pass->4 sata port breakout cable. We are wanting to connect the new PCIe SAS RAID Card to the backplane, but did not know if these breakout cables are usually included with the card or if we will have to order one depending on the connectors on the card.

Also is there any benefit from purchasing a PCIe 3.0 card versus PCIe 2.0? Will the bandwidth from the 3.0 ever be fully utilized?
