WAPT - Un outil de déploiement de logiciels sous Windows Si vous gérez un parc de machines sous Windows, voici un soft qui devrait vous intéresser. Il s'agit de WAPT (j’imagine que ça se prononce Wapity), qui s'inspire du gestionnaire de paquets APT et qui permet d'installer, de désinstaller et de mettre à jour tous les softs présents sur les machines de votre parc. Le client local WAPT peut aller piocher les logiciels dans le dépôt public wapt tranquil mais vous pouvez créer aussi vos propres paquets et les déployer via votre propre serveur WAPT. Actuellement, WAPT est surtout utilisé dans l'enseignement et le milieu hospitalier, mais aussi dans certaines entreprises. Et le plus beau là-dedans c'est que tout le code est libre, sous licence GPLv3. Pour découvrir WAPT, je vous invite à consulter ce site qui vous expliquera tout ce qu'il y a à savoir pour mettre en place cette solution et créer vos propres paquets. Merci à Simon pour le partage.

Remettre l'ordinateur comme neuf Remettre l'ordinateur comme neuf Cette procédure est destinée à remettre les paramètres du système le plus près possible de quand il venait d'être installé (après l'installation de Windows et des pilotes). Le but est de résoudre des problèmes de performance, services, fichiers ou options du système manquants, démarrage du système et installation de logiciels, mais elle peut aussi résoudre d'autres problèmes (virus, écrans bleus de mort, conflits entre les logiciels, etc.). Cette procédure résoud aussi la plupart des problèmes liés à l'Explorateur Windows. Etape 1: Configurer les fichiers chargés au démarrage et les services. Téléchargez et installez UVK avec les paramètres par défaut. Cliquez sur Autorun manager. Cliquez sur List settings, et assurez vous que Hide system protected files (default) est selectioné, et que Verify file signatures (slow but more secure) est décoché. Assurez vous que Also delete file, en haut da la fenêtre principale est décoché. Réparation avec UVK (recommandé):

I would like to expand on this issue by sharing with you, what I feel is the best way to go about actually starting. So without further ado here’s my advice in no particular order… Work part time while building up your own client base As I showed in my article “So you want to start your own IT business?

A Computer Repair Utility Kit You Can Run From a Thumb Drive Technibble, the Australian site for aspiring computer techies, recently released the second version of its popular Computer Repair Utility Kit, a collection of 57 hand picked tools to help you diagnose and repair your Windows machine. While all of the utilities are freely available online, this all-in-one kit saves you the trouble of searching for and downloading them individually. Most of the applications don't require installation and the kit can be run directly from your thumb drive. Although the kit is extremely useful as it offers all of the tools in one neat package, we thought it might be useful to describe each application and rate it based on the level of experience required for use. We've used the following rating system: Beginner: Basic computer skillsIntermediate: Need to be familiar with some computer jargonExpert: Must be comfortable changing system settings File Management CCleaner Installation required: No - Level: Beginner JkDefragGUI DriveimageXML Explore2fs Double Killer TrID
Downloadable Computer Repair CDs One of our Technibble forum members, PcTek9, and a handful of other Technibble members have compiled a large list of CDs for various computer repair tasks. In this list, the following types of CD are available for download: Antivirus Boot CDs, Recovery Disks, Hardware Diagnostic Boot CDs, Network Testing/Monitoring, Data Recovery Boot CDs and Special Purpose CDs. Some of these are free to download, some are not. Be sure to read the EULA for the CD’s you download and the applications you use to make sure you are allowed to use them in the manner you plan to use them in. Many of the CDs contain a variety of different programs and some of the applications are free to use as you please, but some of them disallow commercial use. So be sure to read and abide by the EULA for whatever you use. Also, some of these CD’s may set off an antivirus false positive due to their virus removal, password cracking, system file changing nature. Creating Multiboot CDs
