| Reviving Legacy Google Apps |

Last week one [4/13/2007]
of your answers had a screenshot that showed a Google bar running on your task
bar. What Google application was that?
| | |

One of my favorite applications of all time: Google DeskBar! It was
released as a beta application, but then discontinued as a stand-alone product
and integrated into the
Google Desktop application. I always personally thought that the
Google Desktop product was "a bit much", so I kept the original DeskBar product.
I've installed it on every computer I've built for myself since it's release,
and it has worked as expected even on Vista. You can still find it on a
few download sites.

I am running SMS 2003 IN ACTIVE DIRECTORY. The computers are discovered but no clients installed . I notice the SMS_MP_DEVICE_MANAGER is stopped. What will cause this problem?
| | |

I personally am not an SMS guy, but I ran your question past one of our
engineers that is, and this was his response.
The SMS_MP_DEVICE_MANAGER components will most likely be stopped when you
look at it. It performs roughly the same purpose as a management point,
but for Pocket PCs. It is active when you have the Device Management
Feature Pack installed.
You can read more on it here.
Computers will not have the SMS client automatically installed unless you
have correctly configured several of the site settings related to this action.
From the SMS Management Console, navigate to Site Database | Site Hierarchy |
[SITE] | Site Settings | Client Installation and access the properties dialog
for the Client Push Installation. Ensure that this feature is enabled, set
to push to the correct system types, the correct client type is set, you have
properly added at least two
domain admin accounts to the Accounts tab, and that you have your
installation properties correctly set. Monitor the site server's CCM.LOG
and the client's CCMSETUP.LOG / CLIENT.MSI.LOG for additional
troubleshooting. You can read more on automated installations in the
Systems Management Server 2003 Concepts, Planning and Deployment Guide.
