Lots of great ideas... I'm glad I came here to check in on responses

Thank you all. I'll poke around with your suggests when I get some time.

Thank you Velis and debian0001, I'll take a look. I'm pretty sad in my programing skills... hopefully I can make it work. I have list of hostnames I need to scan, I know the local admin/password info (same for all), hopefully I can get this to work! :)

They are not on the domain. I am trying to find devices with USB drives, blocking them will not do that. Many of these computers are actually in locked cabinets/carts...but I've found that our techs have left USB thumbdrives in them when re-imaging via USB. We do have a mangement server...

Thank you for your response. So taking your WMIC query, how would I gather that information from a list of about 750 devices? And as I've said, each device is not a member of the domain, so unique userID will also be needed to query the wmi info. eg, COMPUTER1\administrator + password...

Two reasons. 1. They're not allowed. 2. Because of the nature of these computers (Wyse ThinClients), we brought in a small crew of contractors to re-image these.... and in the process they lost quite a few thumb drives. We've occasionally come across one in the pack of one of these...

Hello all, To start, thanks for reading this...I hope you can help :) A friend's parents has IPTv in Canada and he wants to hook his xBox to it so he can view the programming. The idea would be to make his xBox appear to be on the parents network...by doing so will let him stream...

Default user setting is turn off screen after 30min, HD off in 40min, Standby is set to "never" Problem is even overnight, system screens are still on at the "Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to login" and obviously not in standby. YEs systems are on a domain, but GPO's are only controled by parent...

Due to recent upgrades/updates I have a library of computers with Windows XP-x64 that I need to set to auto-standby after a period of time. It's never been a problem, but now my company wants to be green-er and oftem I'll find 90% of these sytsems sitting at the login prompt for days with the...

Sorry for being away from this thread.. been traveling and busy at work so I didn't have time to look into until recently. I did a fresh install on the 320gb 7200 drive of Vista Ultimate.... same boot up problem. OS installed normally enough, but the initial OS bootup took 20min+ I loaded...
