It’s FREE and doesn’t require installation.</p> <p>The Domain Time LMCheck test tool lets you assess the current time of all the Windows machines on your network quickly and easily. It uses the built-in LAN Manager NetRemote TOD (Time of Day) function to check the time on all the machines in the browse list.</p> <p> <img src="images/timecheck_thumb.png" alt="timecheck"> LMCheck can be downloaded from <a href="http://www.greyware.com/software/domaintime/instructions/tools/lmcheck.asp">here</a></p>https://www.verboon.info/2009/07/reduce-software-installation-time/Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:39:40 +0000https://www.verboon.info/2009/07/reduce-software-installation-time/<p>Windows7 comes with Windows Installer 5.0 that has a new installation property called MSIFASTINSTALL. Using the MSIFASTINSTALL property can help reduce time required to install a windows installer package.</p> <p>The trick behind MSIFASTINSTALL is quite simple, it just skips things that consume time like creating a system restore point or calculating the space requirements (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368593(VS.85).aspx">File Costing</a>). So if you do not need system restore points and know that your clients have enough disk space anyway, you could consider using the MSIFASTINSTALL property to speed up application installations.</p>
