Accepting Feature Requests/Improvements!

=================================================

Hey,

As some of you already know recently I've been developing a free program to help stop pupils disconnecting network cables to access games/disable GPOs etc.

It's been in testing recently, but "i think" this edition is ready for use. (Disclaimer, "think" :P)

EduApps - Home of EduLock

This will be the main website (generously given by EduTech) that will have the updates/new versions on (So always check this first for updates please)

If anyone has any features/questions/bug reports etc, Would appreciate them!

Any suggestions/features discussed in the old thread should be active and working.
(Solution to stop people disconnecting network cables (Testers wanted please))

Let battle commence vs annoyi... I mean charming pupils!

"Little darlings" is a 'fondly' used term on here!

Note, Always check new version on website please. As after a few days I can't edit this post anymore.

You could take the approach that I use with my facebook guide.
Newer versions appear in later posts on the thread and I update my signature to point to the most recent post... I also delete the old version using in the attachments part of user settings: http://www.edugeek.net/profile.php?do=editattachments

Website Down! :P Never! lol

If you just use the link in the OP as Kim stated EduLock-Latest.Zip and then store the older versions by date on the site but ALWAYS have the current version the same name as the one in the post.

Ah no, I meant more so if you placed a link it would be accurate even once you can't edit the post anymore.

Edutech's hosting is pretty reliable to be honest, I used it in the past and didn't experience any problems.

[Steve21]

I see, I see. Yeah I changed the original post. Linked to the exe instead, so should solve that problem :P

Thanks all,

I would zip up the .exe and then maybe contain some release notes inside of the folder.. I don't know entirely how restricted some filters are but i know some do prevent you from downloading .exe files straight away. : ) (just a thought)

I have,win7 - deployed via GPO "file" setting ( to copy to local machine)
GPO Registry to run on startup
GPO registry to set config

When logging in the user gets a Microsoft .net framework error:-

Application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy, blah blah blach, requested registry access is not allowed:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy, blah blah blach, requested registry access is not allowed:

Stupid question, but you running this under admin privs, or user? I'm assuming your students don't have access to the registry, only admin wise?

Think I'll need to edit the program to impersonate admin, if you're running it under student privelages. Will have a look when I get home tonight, (Not 100% I can do that way)

Might be worth trying to run it as admin privs though

Many thanks for reporting!

yes this erro occurs when logging in as student, what REG files doe they need access too is it just HKLM\software\edugeek
?

I believe it's only HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EduLock (Not EduGeek). That's only one's its trying to modify, unless I did something wrong, But should just be those ones :P
