Ashers Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 This has been a problem for us for years, we installed Impero class room management last summer and this has a feature that locks the screen when it detects that a network is not available. The problems with getting the PC to shut down is that if you have a switch failure then the it will log all of the students off.
maniac Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 This maybe going to the extreme, but we have cut a bit of the clip off so that kids cannot disconnect the cables, the cable remains "locked" in the socket and we can still get to them with a slotted screw driver. Since doing this, not a single problem. Someone hasn't read the whole thread lol

SpuffMonkey Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Someone else hasn't realised this thread is 2 years old. Its still a problem though
HC_Netman Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 OK firstly I apologise for re-opening this thread again!! I found the script that was discussed earlier in the thread but I cannot get it to work. I'm not very big on scripting so its probably something simple but I was hoping one of you would be able to help me out?? I have attached the script to this post. I get an error on line 38 character 1 and it just has error code 0xFFFFFFFF I can't see anything obviously wrong. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. vbs_logoff.vbs
SpuffMonkey Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I was seriously considering trying out some of these Rapid Electronics - Cables & Connectors > Cables
HC_Netman Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I was seriously considering trying out some of these Rapid Electronics - Cables & Connectors > Cables Thanks but I think the script would be a better and cheaper solution if I could only get it too work!! Plus they don't look like they would solve the problem at the PC end...
plexer Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Panduit produce a product that could be useful to prevent this allthough you would need to use 2 lockin's on each device http://networkvideosystems.co.uk/WebRoot/StoreDaily/Shops/eshop145782/MediaGallery/panduit.rj45.lock.in.pdf Ben
plexer Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Both products a lot cheaper on comms-express actually RJ45 Plug Lock-in Device Ben
Trinitrotoluene Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 No-body able to help??? Check that you actually have access to c:\windows\system32\logoff.exe. The script is erroring at the point where this is launched. You may well be restricted in someway from running it.
