===== Problems with Apps15 PC Image =====

   * Out of the box, the admin account has four items in the trash; the trash needs to be emptied.

   * The PuTTY host keys for CS and other machines are still wrong, right out of the box.  When a user runs PuTTY connecting to WPICS, they get a scary "security breach" message.  **NOTE** it appears that numbers 1, 2, and 4 don't function, but Number 3 **does**.  

        FIX:
        reg delete HKU\S-1-5-21-1463563217-1062477112-892702230-3134\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\SshHostKeys /va /f

   * Apps15 doesn't appear to come up in our desired 1024x768 @60Hz, 16 bit color scheme.  This video mode probably wasn't set before the image was sysprepped and uploaded to the image server.

   * A15 came out of the box with a version of AdBlock for Firefox that was incompatible with the ocncurent version of Firefox.  This **might** not be a problem anymore?

   * (silly) The serif-text used in the Image ID (the text in the upper-right of the desktop wallpaper) doesn't scale down well on lower resolution monitors.  Use a sans-serif typeface next time.

   * The image does not install gracefully onto Dell 760 machines (which are current as of early February 2009).  Multiple drivers are missing making installs of a15 onto a '760 tedious.

   * JL has found lots of deadwood in the registry of A15, which should be cleared off before a new image is made.  This stuff can be cleaned off using the [[http://www.ccleaner.com/|CCleaner]] program.

   * It is not clear if a15 gets windows updates successfully.  The group policy for an "intranet windows update server" should be left unset.  Run gpedit.msc from windows->run, then click on Computer Config->Admin Templates->Windows Update->Specify intranet MS Update[...] .  Th ecorrect entry for his item is "Not Configured."  If the item is enabled, disable it.  While this seems to be a good idea, CCC has disabled access to this srever in the past, preventing large numbers of machines from getting updated.
