Surely it'll be much cooler to build a set of shelves to have them all blinking away like some monstrous piece of wall art... then have the power strips mounted down one side and the network ports down the other like some crazed DIY server rack. Added points for building it out of aluminium and having a T-1000 skull mounted somewhere.
Some people have more money than sense. Even more so, if it isn't their money.
How do you prevent the connection bar appearing for those few seconds even if you have set it to not show? Also there is a box that shows saying connecting and the user has the option to cancel this. How did you deal with that? Thanks
The planning stage of PROJECT BORG starts on Monday. I've been looking into Beowolf clusters and it seems like that's where I'm heading.
hey there - do research on beowulf clusters - i used to be a member of their mailing list and discussed lots of things on there relating to what you're trying to do. I think there is an premade linux distro for making a beowulf cluster (computers connected by lan). Will be interested to hear alot about this!

Unfortunately I think the gremlins are included as part of the standard HP support package, and no amount of shouting can scare them off. It's like the famous episode of the Twilight Zone, except instead of watching it rip an engine off through an airplane window, I'm watching it tangle my cables up while I'm trapped the wrong side of the rack.

*High-5* Also, this is my blog. I make the rules. And the rules are... Whatever I make up at any point in time, which may or may not make sense and/or conflict with other rules.
Lol I've just checked mine and i got one too!!! *high-five*
How rude! You got rid of my "u mad"! There's surely some law against that? X-EDIT: U Mad?
I'm so mad. When I saw the red icon of doooooom, I literally went on a rampage. Trashed the school, there were even casualties... Oh wait... That didn't happen. I didn't care about the neg rep, as such. Just the reason for it and the lack of courage in it's implementation.
It was meeeeeeeee............. [IMG]</Snip>[/IMG]
No can do. Family shenanigans to deal with on the weekend. It doubly sucks because our HT mentioned it last christmas, and said we'd go. [we = HT + ICT Co-ord and myself.]

Indeed, that was the original plan. But, then I though... Why not make something that can actually be used! Perhaps I'll turn it into a cloud mmo LAN server for pupils... though 10x the processing power of an F-series is probably still not enough to run a decent mmo.
That's why you do it for the hell of it. Never know what you might learn.
Brilliant looking forward to part 2, been wanting to set this up for a while.Only issue is we currently already have WDS configured and running, is this a problem? Should we just remove the role and start again whilst keeping the images we already have?
No, not been allowed to go to BETT this year, budget still too tight apparently Enjoy yourself though!! Edit: Just double checked, it's currently set up so that: Authenticated Users have the default permissions except Apply Inset Users have only Apply GPO (but propagated to this object and all other objects?) RDS Servers have only Apply GPO (again propagated) But it applied to all users when I tried it Got some updates planed for Wednesday so will have another shot then, but otherwise enjoy yourself at BETT!
