Unfundednut's questions

I am tasked with preparing our office with Windows 7. So right now I am in the test every application I can find that we run phase. I am doing this in our normal setup, which is a limited user. I do a runas on a cmd as my domain admin account (We are in an AD enviroment) and run the installer. That works fine. But when it comes time to uninstall the application and move on runas seems to fail me. I runas /user:domain\adminuser cmd then run appwiz.pl and it loads, but when I goto uninstall anything it errors saying I need to be an administrator. I attempted to do a runas /user:domain\adminuser "control appwiz.cpl" and same thing. It launched but error on an uninstall stating I need to be an admin. I also tried the local admin account in the runas as well. I ended up having to log out and login as the local admin.

I guess my question is, is there a more "proper" way of uninstalling applications on Windows 7 in an AD enviroment? 90% of the time we are remoting into peoples machines with them sitting there so I can't really log every user out when I have to reinstall something.

We sysprep'd our newest xp install and restarted to image it. Our tech missed getting it to boot into the usb drive for imaging. Is there anyway to leave the install now without it giving a bootup error ie: 'Windows did not shutdown properly' so when we do image it, it will not do that everytime we go to reimage onto a new machine?

Edit: I did just try "shift+ctrl+F3" at the 'Welcome Screen' and it didn't do anything.

We have two NT4 SP6 machines that are identical. One of them went down and gives a bsod on boot with 'inaccessible boot device'. We assumed the hard drive went bad. So we attempted to take an image of it with Norton Ghost but it error-ed out way to much. So we ended up taking down the other NT4 machine to image it and re-image another hdd for the first machine. Well now both machines are bsod'ing out on 'inaccessible boot device'. Any clues?

Also this was not after some software install or ide to sata move. Yes we would love to move the computer up to XP or 7 but currently not possible due to the proprietary software that it runs.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

We have been running our qmail setup for awhile with no issues. One of our admins has moved to Google Chrome as his main browser and we have noticed something odd. No matter what, when he loads the vqadmin page it errors on him with simply invalid language file. Yet if he loads Firefox, Opera, Safari or shudders IE8 it works fine.

Searching google only results in 'Use IE' or 'Set english as your language in the browser'. A: I try to have people avoid IE if possible and B: There is no english option in Chrome.

We recently got the Blackberry Express Server for our small home business and linked it in with our Exchange 2010 server. All is well except for calendar syncing. From what I can tell I require the ExchangeCdo patch. Except when I go to install it, it errors saying I require Outlook 2007. I have Outlook 2010 on the server and have no real way of getting 2007 on instead. Any suggestions?

I am looking for a cli (command line interface) program that would basically tail either 1 log or a set of logs in /var/log and on the fly output in a more friendly manner. Perl would be best but isn't a prerequisite.
