I got a newsletter some time ago informing me that www.Yubico.com (or rather one of it’s partners) had added AD integration to the Yubikey, this should allow you to use the Yubikey to login to windows something that could be quite interesting..

ps.
I also seem to recall stumbling across some PAM and RADIUS implementation, so you might want to check their forum if you are into Yubikeys.
http://forum.yubico.com/So as described earlier I was messing with Softgrid (now Microsoft Application Virtualization) and had some issues getting it to work, so I decided to move to the latest version (thus the name change), we was using 4.2 and the latest version is 4.5.
Anyhow, I upgraded the sequencer and everything seemed fine, I started a capture and everything seemed fine until I started the Java installer, i now got an error from the MSI installer;
Error 1719.The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.
Odd I thought and tried different approaches which all led to the same error.
A bit of googling led me to this;

The problem is simple yet bizzar, you can’t use remote desktop while doing a capture!?!? I was using a virtual pc (HyperV) and used remote desktop to connect and do my capture, however once I restarted the Virtual Machine and did the capture via the HyperV console there was no problem!? Odd…
So I had to brush a bit up on my Softgrid knowledge for a package build and I came across a few things I’d like to share;
- A super guide to Softgrid building by one of the Guru’s on the field (Chris Lord).

As of right now I haven’t really gotten my package to work, I have to include an old version of Java with a link to a web-site. But even if I set the registry to override it still fail to launch the old java, if no java is on the machine in advance it works like a dream.. We are currently using the old 4.2 sequencer so I might try the 4.5 version to see if any improvements has been made.
