Cools

with the Client Side Extensions .EXE I found 2 different ver.. on a 1k in size different bit one works and the other ones does not.. Strange.. .. We welcome idiots here.. it what makes this a great forum of knowledge.. lol..

Only happens when the company gets taken over, But with VM it's was rebranding for 10years i think. just 6 more years to go.. b4 the next take over and the speeds get upped.. lol..

im with gl3nnym on this: It's so pretty! (with a sound of Homer Simpson drooling over a donut..)

XP PCS or win 7 ???

i found it to be the student profile. i made a default .man one with no printers mapped or drives, 500k big not to bad. and make all the students use it. it works every time.... 1st time. from fresh install or new student.

never followed a walk-thru: reinstall BUT watch the videos from fog website on how to set-up and install...

when i needed to do that (2k 2k3 server) i use con2print.. and logon script. i set a environment variable room= if it returned 10 it mapped the printer in room 10 and so on.. GPP never was that good.. i find in 2008server it works fine.. so i use that..

Use to do work for them.. Traffic management is a killer you watch a few HD Iplayers / play some Halo and boom your limited is hit .. being a old NTL 10mb customer i have a 750mb cap and they wont up it to the new cap for 10 mb.. I'm looking to go to be infinity as my area is getting it in aug. 29mb down 12mb up.. good for gaming and access to my home server is all I relay want. I cant do that with VM.. as i have sky im waiting for sky to sort out a deal with BT so i can get it from them cheaper..

I use a pac file if the PC cant get the files off site it goes direct.. if on site and gets the pack file then it uses the proxy.. More info.. Proxy auto-config - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is the only way to get round the problem your having.. or squid proxy..

"It does depend on the number of clients" *DRINKing*.. god what crap.. unless your cliensts are pulling ISOs then 1gb clients on 1gb backbone is fine.. its the backbone in the switch you need to keep a eye on. all my servers have 4gb team network cards. the data you should be pulling should not exceed the 56mb rule for Wifi.. ( if you cant run it over wifi stop wasting your life... ) the kids pull only docs.. profile .man 1.5mb what more do you need... Quake.iso go and do your N+

Mine just does it.. as long as the have offlines files to access work on there home drive set the GPO to sync at logon and log off and make sure you get them to understand then need to logoff at the end of the day or they cant access there files at home that they did in school that day.. i have block syncing of Jpg,WMV,AVI,MP3,EXE to speed up the transfer only let them have PDF, DOC,DOCX, PPT,PPTX,XLS,XLSX,Notepad (for smart board.) and so on..

i use GS748TP for net gear never had a problem there gig with 2 SFPs looks like zag pic above. you need deep wall cabs for them .. but they are poe to and are able to run cisco kit (like phones) just select the option from the web interface.. there not much more then the GS724T.. i have 5 of them running fine for 2 years and they come with a life time warranty like all blue box netgear kit.. it has this stupid add on that checks how long your cable runs are.... check the specs.. im a HP (Highly priced) Fan to for server and wks and netgear for networking..

HALO.. . REACH... stuff mw2 lol... VM iss ass moving to sky.. get free bb ... a few people get 15mb on it.. so i might move..

Sorry been busy with new website.. it uses what ever apt installs .. i have ubuntu 10.4 running happerly with this set up .. i will have to try with 2008 r2 and test.. you maight have to change some local sec pol settings to get r2 to speak to samba ntlm.

Gdisk (norton: look for old mother board CD with ghost on it you might find it there...) does DOD level wipe.. it takes ages...

or Dr evil .. call it the "The Alan Parsons Project"... and ask for a trillion dollars

that was a kick ass game on the amiga. there you go .. The Amiga Project. But name the server "Useless" and get another one called "Clueless" ... the fun you can have with them names.

FIRED.. lol..

unhide the SSID like cue said and always join domain on Wifi never cable.. XP some times has problems at boot accessing wifi if joined to domain on cable it will look for cable 1st then wifi taking longer to connect, Also get windows Wifi manager to manage the wifi never a 3rd party one like Intel Wifi Manager

Sted got it in 1 man profiles are for in school use only... you need to set them to roaming.. for what you want to do.

Only have 1 DC for 129 PC's

I disabled student user GPO and and reset it up from Base line GPO now its 3 min from boot.. that's better.. I did not enable all the GOP settings as some are not needed any more.. I did migrate from 2003 to 2008 so it must have picked up a BUG.. Well I was rushing last yr to get it up and running. see if can get it faster.. I got my students roaming profile down to only 1.43mb

I will run a test to see what ones takes the longest i cant remember off hand..
