For example, you could even set your Windows login account to run apache and Quickbooks would treat your application as if you were the one authenticating to it. When running with the apache service as the authenticator you do not have to be logged into the machine for integration to work. You can simple boot the machine, and it will work (With all the other caveats as it must be in Multi-user mode etc). You just have to grant the application settings permissions after attempting to connect to QB the first time. @Molson: I suppose the account running Apache would actually count as the user session as Quickbooks doesn’t really know what user is logged into the machine, only which user is trying to authenticate to it.

I'm curious if you have to have a user session for that to work, or is that what you are configuring Apache to do? I've read that you can't have quickbooks open, even to integrate with, if it's not in a user session (see second post here: https://idnforums.intuit.com/messageview.aspx?catid=7&threadid=8614) If you boot the machine and don't log in with anyone, does the integration work? Thanks, Molson. Hi, I’ve been dealing with situations like this a bit too (for years).

]]> Comment on Checking Dell warranty information by Macgyver http://www.matthewstevenkelly.com/blog/random/checking-dell-warranty-information.html/comment-page-1#comment-62 Macgyver Thu, 13 May 2010 15:22:16 +0000 http://www.matthewstevenkelly.com/blog/?p=455#comment-62 Commenter is not dumb. There's a good valid reason for duplicating the data you retrieve from Dell. First, I don't believe they have an official API or SOAP service for retrieving warranty info. Second, the current way I've seen people extract warranty info is actually do an HTTP/HTML pull and extract/parse the data that way. This way sucks, but it's all that we have right now. Additionally, doing it this way is REALLY SLOW sometimes. If you had your own DB with this data in it too, it would be very fast displaying a web page with lots of computers' warranty info compared to contacting Dell's web site individually for each one!

I used this book to study, as it was recommended to me from a coworker who passed the exam. It also had good reviews on Amazon, which I look for in a study book, since there are many study books out there that have reviews that say "This book was great, but not enough to pass" etc: http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Security-Study-Guide-SY0-201/dp/0470372974/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273346092&sr=8-6 Thanks John.
