We are just about to upgrade all of our computers however and plan to use single hard drives this time around.  We have about 24 computers so doing that in one fell swoop is an option we would rather do as the last possible solution.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So my question is basically, is it possible to set up smartlaunch to run two groups, so that when I integrate the new computers with one hard drive I can just add them in one at a time.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So for instance COD 4 for example is running from our E drive currently, with the new single hard drives we are getting it will be our C drive but we would like to slowly integrate the new computers in so setting it up with some sort of computer grouping with different paths from smartlaunch is what I'm after.  So set "Old Computers" will run COD 4 from the E while set "New Computers" will run it from the C drive, hope that makes sense.  Anyways any help on if it's even possible to do this with one instance of smartlaunch will be much appreciated, thanks.</description><pubDate>Fri, 19 Dec 2008 03:19:34 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>sikk</dc:creator></item><item><title>run same game twice at same computer</title><link>http://forum.smartlaunch.net/Topic19842-17-1.aspx</link><description>is it possible i run same program (game) twice at one computer once time???&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;how i should do???&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thks for guide</description><pubDate>Tue, 16 Dec 2008 06:27:42 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>yaj6</dc:creator></item><item><title>Security issues, am I missing something here?</title><link>http://forum.smartlaunch.net/Topic16695-17-1.aspx</link><description>Ok, so I finally got to install SL on two test computers, and I am starting to learn it and see if I can get it configured to my tastes in order to run it on my center.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are several issues I am currently looking to solve and a very long list of questions, but for now something that has shocked me is that the client doesn't have any built-in security measures in order to avoid people tampering with it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ok, so I know that there is a security setting "disable task manager" on the server setings, but I do not want the task manager disabled. But then, I can just do a ctrl+alt+del when the computer is siting on the login screen, and do anything I like from there on? I mean, of course I want the task manager enabled, but not on the welcome screen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, client.exe runs with any kind of protection. I can just kill the process, on the server I will get a message "the user has loged out", and again I can do anything on the computer from that point on. Yeah, I have read about the watchdog, but I do not like the solution of having the computer restarted every time client.exe crashes (either because the client killed the process, or because the SL server/administrator crashed and made the client crash). I could just code a small program myself that would restart the client.exe all the time, but I actually expected something like that built in on SL.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I mean, things like "customers will not be able to skip log in screen with just ctrl+alt+del" and "customers will not be able to shut down client.exe and stop paying with just ctrl+alt+del" would seem pretty basic to me...&lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 29 Feb 2008 16:33:31 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>MindTwist</dc:creator></item><item><title>Printer from Hell</title><link>http://forum.smartlaunch.net/Topic19773-17-1.aspx</link><description>Printer Driver is Minolta C353 Series PCL driver the printer is on the Smartlaunch Server as A4 (we have tried other names), it is using Winprint, RAW Print Processor as all the PC's in the CAFE can see the printer and can connect to it.

Do only douments/images/cd key conecitons count against the limit?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;QUESTION 2:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When file mapping is activated (for My Documents, etc.), SL automatically maps u: to the server on the client.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But which share does it connect to?  That is, it only asks for a servername, username, and password, but there is no place to indicate a share name; you are only told "to be sure the user has access to the users directory."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Are you supposed to create a \\server\users share, and if so, which directory is the share supposed to point to?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Is it mapped via the administrator \\server\c$ share?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks.</description><pubDate>Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:28:32 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>cwm9</dc:creator></item><item><title>Questions about 10 User Limit</title><link>http://forum.smartlaunch.net/Topic19514-17-1.aspx</link><description>My brother has installed SmartLaunch in his CyberCafe and has asked me for some assistance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I understand that the standard version of Windows XP has a 10 INBOUND SMB (a.k.a. Windows Networking/CIFS protocol) connection limit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;SMB only refers to Windows Networking file shares, printer shares, and named pipes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This limit does NOT apply to TCP/UDP internet sockets.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My question is this:  Is ONLY TCP port 7831 required to communicate between the clients and the server for authorization?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That is, SmartLaunch does not use named pipes/shared files between the client and server normally, and thus the 10 connection limit does not apply so long as all game image files/cd-keys/saved games/etc. are hosted elsewhere, such as on a linux SAMBA host?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Chiem Ma C/O DuckOfDoom</description><pubDate>Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:34:42 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>cwm9</dc:creator></item><item><title>Microsoft Windows Server 2008 32bit</title><link>http://forum.smartlaunch.net/Topic19239-17-1.aspx</link><description>Hello, &lt;br&gt;recently i installed on my brand new server Windows Server 2008 64bit.

That is how to make the server run without the need for a user to logon to the windows server 2003. It will be nice to have such implementation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Secondly i will also appreciate if i can get help with instructions on setting "My documents" menu as part of the applications available on customer homepage which will be mapped to the users account and accessible from any of the client computers so that customers can keep their personal files there. We use to use the Pac-Manager Professional internet cafe management system which had this feature. it allowed admin to setup fixed space for every customer created with a scheduling for cleanup. indeed Pac-Manager was very integrated with active directory. unfortunate there is no support for the software anymore. it is a very thorough and robust server-client application module.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thirdly is there any module for controlling bandwidth of customers based on price plan, vip etc&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;lastly are there any other client computer skin templates apart from the three included in the server. especially those which are not based on flash. it will be nice to have clean fast intuitive interfaces for customers. lets say customer clicks on "programs" and then sees all the programs available with their icons on a nice simple page instead of the heavy flash animations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;much help in these configurations will bemuch appreciated.</description><pubDate>Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:15:37 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Troy</dc:creator></item><item><title>SL Server Error RSACryptoServiceProvider</title><link>http://forum.smartlaunch.net/Topic18311-17-1.aspx</link><description>Parameter name : rgb&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At System.

I've turned them on manually and they seem to turn off via the Admin Interface...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Is this a bug or a perhaps a network issue on my side?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hmmmmm... more investigation needed unless someone else is having the same problem?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[b]Edit[/b]: This was because when I restarted the server using the newly installed 2nd network card it got a DHCP IP address 192.168.1.15 and when I simply swapped over the cable to the first network card I was still able to connect to the server even with the different IP address (as did all the clients) but won't let me start PC's (let's me shut them down though). Disabled the 2nd network card (until I'm ready to use it) and the admin now turns on pc's.</description><pubDate>Sat, 29 Sep 2007 17:55:07 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Remirol</dc:creator></item><item><title>Need Help For Media Server</title><link>http://forum.smartlaunch.net/Topic17633-17-1.aspx</link><description>hi let me first tell every thing about my internet cafe&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;my internet cafe have total 12 clients 2 servers&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;8 pc's are for games i also let users to use internet over them &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;other 4 pc's are for internet i had never installed any games on them &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i have shared some movies songs etc from a mediaserver name called server1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and i have shared internet from other server the name for that one is Server&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i have install smartlaunch admin and server into internet server pc &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;now when i install smart launch client on client pc's it is not letting me to see the client desktop and also not letting me to view the networking workgroup i make a customer acount and login into client pc using that acount now it just let me to view calculator ms word and other aplications which i have seteld up&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;can some one tell me how can i made a shortcut to launch server and server1's shared folders into client using any customer acount&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;so the customer can see movies and listen songs too into the client pc &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;pls help me if it is posible to view desktop of the client same like antamedia internetcafe do&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;another problum i have found i am using antamedia already now i want to convert the members database of antamedia to smartlaunch can some one post tutorial for it i am new to sl so pls guide me clearly thanks in advance take care waiting for reply</description><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jun 2008 06:17:28 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>hamzasoft</dc:creator></item><item><title>mycomputer shows all devices even those excluded by unticking</title><link>http://forum.smartlaunch.net/Topic8953-17-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;SPAN class=481570412-08092006&gt;I managed to get 'mycomputer' on the SL menu, and got rid of control panel, using previous forum suggestions - however, i still have a problem. can anyone tell me if the following is a) &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;SPAN class=481570412-08092006&gt;an error in smartlaunch, or b) &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;SPAN class=481570412-08092006&gt;it is working correctly and needs a workaround.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;SPAN class=481570412-08092006&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;SPAN class=481570412-08092006&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;SPAN class=481570412-08092006&gt;Users have to be able to see all drives except c: for users who want to use flash cards, usb devices and cds.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;SPAN class=481570412-08092006&gt;The problem - They can still see ALL drives and files in mycomputer, even though I have disabled access to c in the SL security section.
