All my computers on WSUS are currently sitting in Unassigned apart from the Servers which has worked quite well - until now.
I want to control the Roll Out of XP SP3 to computers so that I can make my way arround them using WSUS without cause people any major problems because someone shuts the computer down, it starts to install and then the computer is needed for the next lesson.
The Answer I thought - create a sub group of computers!
One snag - Unassigned Computers can't contain a sub
As I'll shortly be setting up my own blog/news site for this sort of thing this is somewhat temporary, but I need somewhere to write rather than forgetting what I plan to put down.
A few people are probably already aware that in September I'm planning to carry out a sponsored cycle ride from De Panne to Sluis and back again, with a total distance of 100 miles (the most direct route is a little short, but we'll be going North of Bruges on the way out and South on the way back to bring it up).
This weekend there shall be no:
banging
dripping
draining
sawing
cutting
drilling
There shall be no plumbers, builders, electricians, joiners, labourers, architects nor foremen.
Why? Because I shall be at home and not at school where there are no working computers, no data cables connected to any patch panels or switches. There are no servers on line, no routers whirring and no telephones ringing. In the ICT suite and my recently demoted server room there is only polythene e
Today we did a real world test on our Windows 7 system.
We've built a ICT Suite that is due to come on-line this September and invited 5 students to come in and try it out. I moved their accounts temporarily into the OUs we have setup for Windows 7 and moved them to the appropriate Security Groups and got them to log in. Sophos was installed and running, along with Impero V3.0.38 and we're still using CSE but not using their Workspace, purely using the CSE System to build and administer the

Problem
Auto switching between cassettes can not be switched off.
We have found that by setting the source to cassette 1 this stops the printer function printing on next available tray when tray of choice is empty however this does not work when the job is in progress.
Location: Print preferences under the basic options.

Option1.
We have set the trays up with different
To my local newsagent, please correctly label your sandwiches. When I buy a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich I expect tuna and sweetcorn as a filling, not for half the tuna to be replaced with shredded cabbage. If the sandwich was labelled "Tuna and Cabbage with Occasional Flecks of Sweetcorn" I would have left it on the shelf.
And thus, a rants category is born on the blog.
just downloaded the ubuntu 10.04 install cd for the work experience student we have in 1.5mins! that was 8mb/sec!
Our new fibre internet connection is freakin awesome!
If only it wasn't so heavily filtered, for one thing I could download those ffxiv beta patches..every few days it's a 3.5gb download. Like a temporary whole new install of the game. :-S
I've just posted a new article about how to get the DigiBlue camera to work for stop motion animation in Ubuntu Linux.
As the DigiBlue cameras are very Windows oriented, I decided to try and get one to work in a similar fashion in Ubuntu. Sadly, the process isn't quite as fluid but it is a lot more flexible as there are a plethora of software packages available for stop motion editing and video editing, some being ultra-simple (Luciole), others being more complex (Cinelerra).
So, if you ar
I got a phone call from a PR agency this morning. We usually get a few of these a week, often via email. Apparently he was looking fro Russ as he'd spoken to him at BETT, so I let him know that Russ was not here, and I was. He then began giving me the 'sell', askign who represented us etc. After a few mins I had to pop the question.
'Do you know who we are?'
'No'
Do you know what we do?'
'No'
'Do you know why we don't need any PR people'
'No'
'Try Google' I suggested.
A while ago, I recall Angry Technician discussing how he had a chronic case of "The Ear," an ability to walk past any machine, stop and instinctively know something is wrong and require fixing.
I had such an episode today dealing with tick grids for the end of year process in SIMS. I believe they call it curriculum assignment but after a while, hours of ticking boxes against a list causes the brain to melt slightly and simplify the entire system down to "Tick Grids." And I had a feeling that
... and is no longer pursuing a career in IT. I've now been self employed for nearly a year now. Going freelance which involves writing, blogging and selling on ebay.
I still have a passing interest in IT to keep my eye in. I enjoy reading the tales of IT support whether it be educational or business support.
Even dabbled in the world of static security guarding for a while.
1. they got delegated it at the last minute also
2. Other priority jobs they have to do have more threat associated, ie they're more scared of being told off by higher ups than us.
3. we're too efficient and they think stuff is way easier for us than it actually is.

I've finally got round to getting the KMS Server setup ready for when we start our Windows Deployment in a few weeks. It's a bit odd that you can setup a KMS on a Windows 2003 Server and a Windows 2008R2 server but not a Windows 2008 Server! Not if you want to activate Windows 7 Clients!!! My domain consists of a number of 2008 Servers and a 2003 SP2 Domain Contro

Nothing makes your mouth water quite like two large boxes of biscuits appearing on your desk. We are talking nearly 100 per box of various delicacies from jammy dodgers to shortbread. Tasty!
But wait, these biscuits, I recognise that box. We had those for supervised study...a couple of...years...back...
Librarian: "Oh those are for the bin. I found them in the store cupboard and they went off September 2008."
Surprisingly, they still look like biscuits. Even more surprisingly, someone d
This blog post breaks from the site's tech theme. I know, it's a tech site and this is probably a tech-based blog system but it's also my only blog at the moment. It gets a little political, think of it as a personal post.
As some are aware, I've been taking an interest in the surroundings of the Hackney fox attacks and particularly the diabolical news coverage of it. One particular paper has been it's usual shameful self and I find it pretty sad I have to see it's front page when I go to buy
