This script is a room activation script where it will only let students use a computer suite if the teacher on the front machine has activated the room. There are three parts to the script that work together. The activation script where the user activates a room, a deactivation script where the users deactivates the room and the logon script for the suite.

Activation Script:

<vb>im stafffilesource, WS, objFSO, objNetwork, RoomName, TeacherPC Dim logday, logmonth, logyear, today, logmonthname, serverpath, filepath, filetxt

Tips:

1. I would place shortcuts to the script on the desktop of the front machine.

2. Apply the logon script to a OU of computers using loopback, you could use other methods of getting the script to run in one room.

3. In your logoff script and startup script place few lines so it deletes the staff.txt file, this stops teachers logging off and just pressing the reset button keeping the room activated.
