Internet Explorer settings and Flex Profile Kit
March 20, 2009 by John Tran · Leave a Comment
If you’re having problems retaining Internet Explorer settings or the runonce continously appears after a restart when using the Flex Profile Kit, you will need to make sure that you have the following reg hive HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main is included in the Windows_and_IE.INI
So it should look like this under # Generic IE Settings,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Components
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\New Windows
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

This happens if the DisablePersonalDirChange policy setting exists. For stand-alone systems, to get back the missing buttons, open Regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
In the right-pane, delete the DisablePersonalDirChange value.
Error when running dcpromo on a Windows Server 2003 R2

When you try to dcpromo a server running Windows Server 2003 R2 and you receive the following error during the wizard.
“The Active Directory Installation Wizard cannot continue because the forest is not prepared for installing Windows Server 2003. Use the Adprep command-line tool to prepare both the forest and the domain. For more information about using the Adprep, see Active Directory Help.
The version of the Active Directory schema of the source forest is not compatible with the version of Active Directory on this computer.”
This issue may occur when Active Directory has not been updated with the Windows Server 2003 R2 schema extensions.
To resolve this issue, run the adprep.exe /forestprep command from the Windows Server 2003 R2 installation disk 2 on the schema master. To do this insert the Windows Server 2003 R2 Disk 2 and copy the ADPREP directory to the C:\ of your server. Then run C:\ADPREP\adprep /forestprep.
Follow the instructions to complete the upgarde
