Windows 7 Drivers for ASRock 939dual-SATA2


I recently installed Windows 7 Pro x64 on my desktop and almost all of the drivers were automatically installed. Two important ones were not: Onboard LAN and my SB Audigy 2 card.










The ASRock website (http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=939Dual-SATA2&s=939) only has XP drivers, which won't work unless you run it in compatibility mode. This is pretty simple:

Windows 7 Compatability Mode:

1. Right click on executable
2. Select properties
3. Click on the Compatability tab
4. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
5. Select Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
6. Click OK and run the program

As for the audio, since I don't use the onboard audio I haven't checked to see if it works although I have read about other people having issues. Even though this board has 7.1 channel sound I don't recommend using it because there was a lot of static noise. At least for me.

Simple powershell ping log with timestamp

Here's a quick and dirty script that will ping with a timestamp, and save the ouput to a text file. I have used pingInfoView quite a bit, but sometimes this fits the situation better. $hostAddress = Read-Host -Prompt 'IP Address or Hostname' $fileName = Read-Host -Prompt 'Output file' ping.exe -t $hostAddress|Foreach{"{0} - {1}" -f (Get-Date),$_}| Tee-Object -file $fileName

DNS entries needed for MLB app

I have a pi-hole DNS server and fairly aggressive block lists from https://firebog.net/ . The MLB TV android app was crashing until I whitelisted this google entry. It looks like it's for serving ads in the app. imasdk.googleapis.com These other entries can stay blocked and the app still worked.

Lockdown Browser 1.0.7.02 LAB SCCM deployment

Image
I needed to update from Respondus LockDown Browser Lab version 1.0.5.14 to version 1.0.7.02. This is how I've done it as an SCCM application. This could probably be modified to be used in some other deployment solution, but I've tested it with SCCM 2012 R2 and Windows 7 clients running 32 and 64 bit versions. After 1.0.7.02 was activated this error shows on 1.0.5.14 Install Shield files and installer folder First, you'll need to create setup.iss files. Instructions can be found here:  http://www.respondus.com/update/2009-11-d.shtml Here's their instructions for convenience: First, be sure that Respondus LockDown Browser isn’t already installed on the computer. If it is, then un-install it before continuing. Download the full installer (LockDownSFX.exe) from the Respondus website.  BE SURE  to obtain the .exe via the admin login for your institution since the installer differs for each institution. Run the installer and select the "Click Here&quo
