Turns out that I was able to open the original compmgmt.msc in author mode "mmc.exe /a compmgmt.msc" and add the snap-in and save. The pain in the ass was, I had to do this on an image of my system which had the program with the new snap-in (Rational) installed and registered. Then the mmc.exe sees cccredmgr.msc as a valid snap-in that can be added. I originally tried to add the snap-in on a clean base image that I just copied the new snap-in to. Didn't work. Yet another pain in the ass in windows that is not scriptable, requires a mouse, requires the registry, no one had ever done before, I had to figure out myself, not documented, took way longer to do than it should have. Now the Rational users can live without fear of a missing icon that they probably didn't even know was there. By the way, there are at least two other ways to do the same thing, but I must make my installer as similar to the original as possible. OK, somebody burn out my eyes with a hot poker. >-----Original Message----- >From: sirsky [mailto:sirsky@gmail.com] >Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2005 4:31 PM >To: Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO >Subject: Re: Windows question- respond off list > > >What you want to do here, is to create a *new* MMC, and add the >snap-ins as needed to replicate the 'compmgmt.msc' console, and add >your .msc to it.

[Fwd: FW: Linux group at the Library]
by Jim Herrmann 19 May '05

19 May '05

Someone who is attending the meetings on a regular basis needs to see to this. I'm sorry that I have not been able to attend for many months now, and won't be able to for at least two more months, as I have conflicts on both nights. I believe Monty did the paper work last time.

Family spam solution
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 17 May '05

17 May '05

This needs a cool name like spam assassin, but not so violent. For those family and friends that like to forward EVERYTHING and not just the choice funny stuff that I so painstakingly weed out and forward to everyone with an advanced sense of humor. :-) Here is a very visual cure for the chain email forwarder in your circle of friends. Sometimes just pointing them to www.snopes.com is not enough. If you don't know who it is, then it is you. Enjoy. http://www.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~sivann/pub/swf/may02-smilepop-soapbox4.s wf

Windows question- respond off list
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 16 May '05

16 May '05

God I hate doing this, but it's for my job. I need to add a .msc file to the standard Windows Management console, the mmc. This .msc file is a part of a program I'm working with and it adds some monitoring functionality to the standard mmc console. I know how to make a new, custom console and save it, etc. What I need is the command, if one exists, to add the .msc into the "compmgmt.msc" under the "Services and Applications" subheading, "services.msc". If I have a single command or series of commands, I can add this to my install script. The docs on MMC.exe are a little light and non-existent AFAICT in what I specifically want to do. This is giving me a headache.

RE: Open position, do you know someone?

Hate to say it, but I know someone that used to work there and a few in upper mgmt have zero ethics. Has to do with software and competitor information. Nuff said. If you go work there, watch your ass. If you say anything about ethics or question the legality of some move by them, better have your resume ready. Just a friendly warning. I never do this, but this time it's necessary. This email is confidential, does not reflect the views or opinions of my employer. It's simply me trying to be nice about some dirty laundry I know about. Choose to believe it or not as the case may be. -----Original Message----- From: kclug-bounces(a)kclug.org [mailto:kclug-bounces@kclug.org] On Behalf Of Paul Taylor Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2005 10:45 AM To: List - KCLUG Subject: OT: Open position, do you know someone?
