SCCM Right Click Tools

I found that SCCM takes some times to install applications to the computer and if you really wanna enforce it you have to do it on the client side. These right click tools are very handy so you can right click and enforce the application installation.

Fortunately, there's a workaround. Sit down at your desk and log on to your Windows XP workstation using your administrator credentials and start Registry Editor by Start --> Run --> regedit --> OK. Then select the Connect Network Registry option under the File menu (Figure 2).

This opens the Select Computer search box. Either browse Active Directory to locate the remote server, or type its name in the textbox (Figure 3).

Figure 3. Connecting to the Registry on a remote server named SRV220.

Click OK and a node will be displayed in Registry Editor for the remote machine (Figure 4).

Now browse HKLM on SRV to find the following Registry key (Figure 5).

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

Figure 5. Registry key for Terminal Server on remote machine.

Under the Terminal Server key, you'll find a REG_DWORD value named fDenyTSConnection. Double-click on that value to open the Edit DWORD Value box and change the value data from 1 (Remote Desktop disabled) to 0 (Remote Desktop enabled), as in Figure 6 below.

Crash Dump analysis

Crash dump file can be analysed to find out the reason you get the blue screen on your computer. It can be useful and i found most of the people change the memory to overcome blue screen error with out analysing the actual situation.

There is a command line tool found in the MS website but i found this web based too is very handy and very fast.
