Earlier this week I released D7 v6.7, the final free version. In this version, I disabled updating functionality for unregistered users, so that it would not be possible to update to v7. I did this because I didn’t want people (unregistered users) updating to v7 before they found that v7 won’t run for them without registration. Unfortunately, there are those of you who did NOT get the v6.7 update first, therefore you may have...

This is a remake of the original General Introduction to D7, which is now 14 months old and many versions behind. It was also 12 minutes. The new vid is 49 minutes of DETAIL and utilizes the latest version 6.6.3 Even if you thought you knew all there was to know, this is still a good vid to pick up a few new things. Enjoy! http://youtu.be/xsASCOlRLfg
The latest variant as discussed by Sophos is a user mode only variant (for 64bit OS compatibility) which is quite different in the removal process from previous versions. Fortunately, it’s easier!

You may now use variables in any dSupport config area that accepts a URL. These variables, the most powerful being [ClientID] can be used to customize the URL for your individual customers or groups of customer types. The ClientID variable can be set during dSupport installation on each PC you install it on. For example, you may want to configure dSupport to automatically download a different configuration for different groups of clients, perhaps one for...

Automatic System Restore Point Scheduling: Basically you can schedule up to 3 different system restore point schedules to be created. For each schedule, you can choose the time of day, and have it run daily or weekly. When the configuration is saved, or when dSupport is installed, it will create Windows scheduled tasks to launch dSupport at the pre-defined day/time, which creates the restore point and exits. The process is entirely silent and will be...
