| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:44 | comment | added | Eric F | Seems if you can get scripts to work, that is a good thing and very good way to do it | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:41 | comment | added | user201262 | One thing - I have a script that joins this to our domain, and the script just ran. I'm going to try and push out a GPO to turn on RDP. | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:41 | comment | added | Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 | Yeah, you're pretty much screwed, outside of controlling it via GP or something. ;) Out of curiosity, what happens when you boot into Safe Mode? Did you use Sysprep to prepare the image ahead of time, or is it just a straight image of another computer? I'm thinking it maybe due to a conflict (vs. not having a driver). | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:40 | comment | added | Eric F | So if windows7 doesn't see it then that seems to be the culprit here. A few helpful suggestions here: sevenforums.com/hardware-devices/… | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:40 | comment | added | Stese | Is the machine old enough to have a PS2 port? could you try using a PS2 keyboard? | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:39 | comment | added | user201262 | @StevenDavison Nothing in the BIOS options other than to turn ports on/off. | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:38 | comment | added | user201262 | @EricF Yes, keyboard does work in BIOS. | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:38 | comment | added | Eric F | but the keyboard works in your bios? You mentioned you could change things in the bios | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:37 | comment | added | user201262 | @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 No way to enable/install RDP or VNC without physical access. | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:37 | comment | added | user201262 | @EricF Nope, just USB plus some video options. This is a mini desktop. Here's a back view: i.imgur.com/r3gM8ky.png | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:36 | comment | added | Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 | bahaha good point. :) RDP or VNC in from another computer perhaps? | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:35 | comment | added | Eric F | Does your mobo have PS2 slots? | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:33 | comment | added | user201262 | @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 How do I use the on-screen keyboard when the mouse doesn't work? | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:32 | comment | added | Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 | "Are there any methods I can use to log onto this?" Use the on-screen keyboard...? | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:31 | comment | added | user201262 | I did have to switch from UEFI to legacy BIOS before I pushed the image, so I'll check really quick to see if there's anything there related to USB. | |
| Apr 13, 2017 at 15:31 | comment | added | Stese | are you certain the USB ports are active? it's possible they've been disabled in BIOS. If the Bios has a legacy emulation mode for USB, try enabling that. | |
