When setting up new computers, do you usually manually run windows update? When does landesk push out updates? I wanted to set the IE home page to lds.org, but the computer is running xp, and comes with IE 6, which is incompatible with the new lds.org. The optiplex 580's I have just received from ou...

I definitely won't be making any changes myself. I was tasked with looking through the forum to see if there was any general consensus on how to handle our situation. Our stake clerk and financial clerk will actually be doing the work. Our plan was, as you have pointed out, to put our categories bac...

Well, I have both stake and ward level callings, so I may make a stab at the stake data. I'm not sure I have a full export of the stake data, just what we use to generate the stake directory. Even the ward data will be useful. Our scripts generates a separate PDF document for each ward, and a PDF do...

This looks like a lot of fun. We already have an application in our stake that uses the export format. I'm dying to try to rewrite it using sqlite now.

I don't recall seeing it in the ward messages either.
