If you're not familiar with CertGuard, get familiar with it. Google it, Yahoo it, do whatever you have to, but know what you're in for when you choose to cheat; or better yet, when you choose not to take 10 minutes to do a little reasearch that will save your certifications.

Before I go any further, I know there are members here that are direct affiliates of those sites and I want them to know that CertGuard is working with Certification Vendors to have all of your braindump sites shutdown. If we can't get them shut down permanently, we will at least have the attention of the vast majority of your target audience, which will reduce your sales and ultimately FORCE you to shut them down on your own.

Now, for those of you not affiliated with the illegal sites, do yourself a favor and avoid them. It's no secret that Certification Vendors have begun "decertifying" everyone that they find cheating. Many of the vendors aren't even asking questions...if you cheat, you lose your certification automatically...and they now have ways of proving that you've cheated. So stop now before you do get caught.

Why are braindumps illegal?

1. They are STOLEN questions and answers from the ACTUAL EXAMS. Stealing is illegal, accepting stolen property is illegal.

2. They violate the Non-Disclosure/Candidate Agreement that you sign before taking the exam. Violation of this agreement is grounds for decertification.

What kind of excuses will allow me to use braindumps?

NONE! Not a single one. There is no excuse for using dumps. The certification vendors don't care if you have "real world experience", or if you "know how to research, but aren't good at taking tests". You know what they care about? They care about the VALUE of their certification program and how cheaters that use braindumps ruin the program for all the honest, hard-working, professionals that have what it takes to EARN the certifications without resorting to information that was stolen from the actual exams.

Well, how do I know what sites are ok to use?

You have to learn how to research! If you're going to survive in the IT Industry, this is one of the many undocumented requirements of every professional. Over 12 months ago CertGuard created a Braindump Identification System that instantly gives you information on over 2,600 certification related websites. Use it for every certification site you visit. If the box in the middle is a "redish" color, avoid he site. It's THAT simple!


How is BrianMadden.com classified?

Currently, because of all the references to braindump websites and unmoderated forums, CertGuard has classified BrianMadden.com as having "Dirty Forums". Basically, this means that the majority of the site looks good enough to pass our initial tests, but until the braindump references are deleted or removed from public view, this site will not be considered "Safe". We hope to change that soon.

I need some advise on setting up a mandatory profile. Basically I just want to make sure I am doing things the right way.
On each Citrix server I have installed the Flex Framework and I have setup the Mandatory profile on each server, by doing the following steps:

1) Create folder, C:\Admin\Mandatory on Citrix servers
2) Share Mandatory folder as Mandatory$ (Share permissions = Authenticated Users
3) Under System Properties\Advanced\User Profiles
Select the Mandatory profile and use Copy to button to copy to C:\Admin\Mandatory$\Citrixman with Permitted to use = Authenticated Users.
4) Group policy for TSProfile set to \\%COMPUTERNAME%\Mandatory$\citrixman

What I have noticed is this will set the security level to Full Control for Authenticated Users, is this ok. Or should I then be setting the security level to Read and Execute for Authenticated Users instead?

Login seems to work fine, but I have noticed the Quick Launch area is for some reason showing the desktop.ini as well, a bit weird.

Lastly, what folders etc are people cleaning up in the mandatory profile to begin with and how much customisation are you doing in the ntuser.man?

Forum: Citrix Presentation Server / XenApp]]>Tue, 25 Mar 2008 05:45:55 GMT97622Citrix Presentation Server / XenApphttp://www.brianmadden.com/Forum/Topic/97087I currently have a farm with almost 50 citrix PS4.0 (all load balanced) with W2K3, but still on an MSDE 2000 data store. We have almost 700 users and still adding more as we are moving from desktops to terminal server based applications. My manager wants us to migrate the existing MSDE 2000 data store to a SQL 2005 cluster. I have read CTX677542, CTX112784, CTX104941 and more... but am still confused on the way to migrate the data store. The citrix Admin Guide only allows ugrading from an MSDE databse to SQL 2000. I was thinking about creating a new farm with the SQL2005 data store and then use the chfarm command to move the servers one by one to avoid downtime.
Is it ok to use SQL2005 datastore for PS4.0 ?
Please let me know the way to migrate the MSDEdata store.

We have a scenario for developing the Crystal report, which should have hyperlink for particular field, that can lead to another report.

We have three column report, which shows the summary information as follows.

---

Due_Date Total Amount No. of Exceptions.

---

1/1/2007 20000 2
2/1/2007 21000 5
3/1/2007 22000 4

---

We have to provide the Due date column as a hyperlink to another report, and when the user clicks on the date of any rows in the above report, it should pass a parameter (Due Date) to the another report. The second report should display some columns based on the Selected Due Date. I could give hyperlink to open a crystal report file. but i am not able to pass parameter in the hyperlink statement.

I need to know how can we give hyperlink to another crystal report (.rpt file), by including a parameter to that report.

e.g. "UserIDRpt.rpt?param1=" + cstr()" ...

I don't know the exact syntax for the above calling statement. Please help me if anyone has found out something similar...



Thanks in advance

Anil PB
