Sir

Thanks Ben. I assume you are commenting to FM-GM above?

Will it just be easier to recreate the whole account after copying what is in there and putting it back afterwards?! Surely there is an easier way....

Thanks both. I need the folder changed for a webpart in sharepoint to work. I have done as you said but now it says, when I log in as her that it cannot connect to said drive. the profile path is \\schoolserver\cfh$ yet the actual path is D:\users\STAFF\cfh?

Thank you all. Just got back..... Yes to all the above; what a program. Granted user local admin rights.grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi, I have had to change the name of a teacher who has rather inconsiderately gone and gotten herself married! Ok, so i have changed her name by 'rename' in AD, changed her alias in exchange and made sure that this is the new default SMTP address, changed her name in sims but now i just need to change her home folder name without getting rid of all her contents so that she can still accessit through the LG at home. Am I overthinking this? i seem to be blank on this one! Any help please asap.

Capita support insist it is a writing to c:\ permissions problem. I just wonder why it is this user only......

Thanks for this, both of you. I was booted out of school at 4 so will try in the morning. the software if a financial mngnt package from Capita (run with SIMS) an is up to date. Sims permissions all checked, too!

Please can anyone help me get to the bottom of this. I have spent ages trying to sort it. I have create a user as i have done 1000's of times before in AD. She has the same group membership as others that have write access to c:\ on win 7 machines. On her logon and hers alone on a variety of machines tested on the network, she cannot use a financial mngmt package as she has no full control of c:\. Others with the same properties in AD have no problem! AAAAAh. Any suggestions please?

Okay thanks again. This is helpful.I never really had much to do with wireless as you can tell.i'm away for a bit now so will pester more next week. Thanks for your patience!

I do have to get two buildings which are out of range though on wireless which also have 2, 24 port switches in them...

Thanks Mike. I'll try what you suggested. I was told that because my school has thick Victorian internal walls that the antennae boosters were necessary but considering I can access the network from fifty foot all around the school then you may be right and these are overkill! Thanks again.

Thanks for your constructive comment. Is this your first contribution to this forum? I know that it is mine but at least I feel that my writings are in the spirit of the site, unlike yours. Why write at all if you can't be nice? As a humble sort of guy with huge respect for most of the guys and girls here with such great technical knowledge, I did actually underplay my abilities somewhat. Saying that, I did outline that my job is mainly helping with teacher training and curriculum development, yet I manage to get by figuring out most things.... Hopefully with the help of Some peeps here. in answer to... Erm.. I can't see who from this screen... I do have access to the switch console and I could check to see if they are on vlan if you tell me how.... thanks (nearly) all of you for your valuable time....

Thanks for that... I'll find out what they are... Any tips for suppliers of Cisco ap's?

Thanks Catch21. I do believe I will draw it out; good plan. Re. the budget for the AP... 100 ish any good?

Yes there are 5 POE injectors in my cabinet. Will i simply need to get another one? same make or any better/ cheaper ones? ...........and then plug it into the switch in the classroom over the other side of my site? Im assuming i will need to set up a static ip etc.. anyone with a few instructions would be good; just of essential things i need to know/ do before doing the job and getting whatever anyone advises me to get to do the job.... Ben.... without knowing what you need to know about my network, i can't continue to ask you what is or isn't simple i suppose? I really could do with knowing what to buy to service a 20 sq/m area supplying wireless to around 10 machines..... and also how to set it up.... i have power, network points and a switch..........

Stoneleigh in staffs/shropshire. Some 5 or 6 years ago. Will i really need to pay someone to do a relatively..... simple? job? Thanks Ben

This is my first post so please be gentle re. my lack of knowledge in this area. As i am jack of all e-learning trades in my large primary school, I am master of none.... I 'manage' the network after a fasion but would love some place to go for for help. We have a 2 switch panels (I assume it is a switch; lots of cat5 cables coming out?) feeding all of the network points in the main school building and from one of these (a catalyst 3500 and 2900). these are connected with a big yellow networky looking cable- is this cat 5 also?- not sure) just below this connection is another connector linking this catalyst 2900 box to an AMP netconnect panel? with thin grey wires. I am assuming that this has something to do with a fibre link to a building on the other side of the school grounds (the old coachhouse). this also has a switch-y type affair in which feed all of the network points in there.... around 20 or so. From there, there is another wired link to our building which is a demountable and houses all 65 of out early years children and associated staff. In this demountable, there is another paned supplying around 12 network points. Back in the main building, we have 5 wireless access points which, apparently are very strong as we have thick victorian inner walls. My question is that I need help working out how to make the two early years classroon wireless, what to buy and how to connect it. I manage the server; we have just one running 2003r2. I have had people in passing say, 'yeah, just get a home router and plug it into a port on your switch and your away' and comments like 'you need a cisco engineer to configure that sort of thing!' Both of these comments sound equally ridiculous to me. Could anyone confirm my suspicions that it is a fairy sinple job and then point me in the right direction of someone willing to guide me through it? We will only be connecting about 10 ipads to this new AP so I wont need anything too mega powerful i should think..... may be wrong........... also I have attached pics of my setup.......... has someone got time to clear up what is what exactly? Apologies if this is not the place for help for me as you all sound pretty good at what you do.... thanks for looking!

Do you not have logon scripts which do this?

you mean VIEW- details click 'date modified' to toggle.... dropdown on right to sort on vista/7/8? ??????? :-)
