Apologies for the simple question, but are you logged in as a local administrator, or a domain administrator?
We do the exact same thing here, the only thing I would note is that our Task Scheduler doesnt seem to take daylight savings into account. Just something to note.
After a major panic with our exams department today, I found this page and created the GPO required. It seems to have worked perfectly, thank you for linking to article! The only problem that I can see now is that we'll have to do the same for the rest of the office suite. Oh well, could be worse!
In the ended up using word pad and blocked office using software restriction policies.
The reg edit should disable the Capitalisation of each paragraph, everything else is handled by the GPO, including disabling spell check via the proofing tab. There's a bit in one of the links that mentions adding a lot of numbers to a GPO, these numbers are aspects of Word and its GUI, which are then disabled. I'll double check when I'm back in on Monday, but I'm 99% certain the GPO worked and spell check couldn't be turned back on.
Did the above reg edit but you could still check spelling by going into it in the proofing tab. Does yours do this please?
The only way I've found is via the exam profile, so I logged in with each exam account (We only have 6 where this is necessary), unticked 'capitalize beginning of table or cell' option, and logged off, saving that setting. In the future, I 'll make a mandatory profile and assign that to student accounts. The other option would be to make the word options settings change as admin account, export the registry, and then carry out he following: 'Only little snag I had, there is NOTHING which turns of Auto Capitalization ‘at the beginning of a table or cell’ under the auto formatting in Word Options. The only way around this is to modify HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Data manually. This is a nice big binary value. Fun stuff!.. Using comparison software, I checked the value on/off and compared two registry exports. My code writes six 0′s disabling this.' Taken from the third link. Then assign the registry edit as a GPO. Non are particularly 'clean' solutions, but they should work. If anyone finds a neater way, I'd love to hear it.
Did you find a way with the capital letters please?
Indeed it is The only difference being the repeating of the shutdown command on the hour for 8 hours, which helps when students turn the PC back on, or were still logged in when the initial shutdown command had been sent.
Very similar to my blog post here: Shutting down machines with Group Policy Preferences - Blogs - EduGeek.net
Worked perfectly here on my virtual test machine, rolled out to desktops to face trial by students!
Distributed this using an .msi and GPO without any issues for use of codeacademy.com, worked great! Offical guides can be found here Chrome Frame Administrator's Guide - The Chromium Projects
Ooh smashing! How did this go??
