  1. Easy to do yes but I’m concerned that there may be more to it. Let me get this straight. This list of numbers, are they foreign id meaning they refer to a unique id in another table in your sql database. If that is the case then you will need to also add the new ids in the table containing the unique Id removing all the duplicates first and cross referencing then in this table. If I am not mistaken it sound like your example is from table 2 so therefore their should be a relationship with a parent record in table 1. Changing the id in table 2 would require in table 1 being also changed Eg table 1 Unique ID, car manufacture etc ... 5492043, Ford 5492044, Vauxhall 5492045, Honda Table 2 Unique id, foreign id, car model 1, 5492043, fiesta 2, 5492043, focus 3, 5492044, Corsa 4, 5492043, ka 5, 5492044, Astra 6, 5492045, civic Apologies if I have misunderstood
  2. +1 @ricki comment. All the suggestion I had. Also try Try active usb leads rather than standard Try hard resetting the controller. Depending on the model you hold the reset button in for set number of seconds If your lead from the board to the pc is really long try usb over cat5. I had a pc that involves a 22m usb cable showing similar symptoms the op describes. I replaced the usb cable with cat 5 and put powered usb to cat 5 converter. One of the most Expensive solutions but it worked when nothing else that had already been suggest did
  3. I have a few good eBay sellers who I have bought from for years and in my opinion they are good quality offering few hours between charges. Like I said you get the odd duff that only lasts a year @hamid-softhands I always accept contacts details though so pm or share here your details and I’ll keep them on file [emoji106]
  4. Second that, here too. Sign or no sign it’s pretty obvious what’s behind that door [emoji23] Doubt they would even try to be fair and not worth it. Second floor room. Wires in the back, secured from the front and rails that lock. Not a quick job to get one server out. The ground floor computer room with 35 pc in is the more likely target
  5. Can you drag and drop files? Iv noticed this recently when I was training some staff to use it. ie doesn’t seem to have the capability to upload a folder. Stupid really. Chrome does though. You will notice it also has an arrow next to upload with folder in the list
  6. I had a batch of 12 tosh laptops where they all had battery issues. All batteries were recalled and new ones were sent out. You may have a case is a third of them died within the year. 1 to 2 years is generally quite good given the hammering they get. If they are genuine batteries I would expect them to last year or two with daily use. I then replace them with eBay £10 specials and generally I get maybe just over a year, on some maybe up to 2. For a tenner can’t grumble really just have to be a bit picky which seller you get them from as some sell dodgy imports.
  7. Love those crystal ball types of requests. I always referred to my lucky number 8 ball. You know one one you shake and it responds. I used to answer those questions with that. Over the years I have had to adapt my very sarcastic response to a more diplomatic response as on one occasion got me in hot water with my LM (not that she didn't find it funny herself but she had to be seen to be doing something about it)
  8. If the folder has been opened you will get an access denied on hidden thumbs files in those folders. As suggested look at the open files and close any active connections before moving them. I imagine if you are moving files off a server on to another no one should have anything open anyway
  9. Does it log you off for the first time logging in on each computer Or Only the first time it logs on anywhere? Any first time logon scripts. I have a logon script that fixes adobe elements profile which is initialised if the user logs in to any of the media computers for the first time.
  10. Try using adprintx.exe see if that works
  11. Have you tried script installing the printer then linking it to a group policy. All my printers use scripts because of old print drivers where I had similar issue with some drivers Whilst printers were being installed it would take a lot longer than script installed
  12. Have you installed both x64 and x86 drivers (if you have a mixed architecture between server and client.
  13. Try adding between the ou switch and the pipe... -recipienttypedetails user | enable-mailbox
  14. I agree with sted. It is with all smart boards that are not connected via the supplied USB. We have earlier versions of the smart board connected by USB and some that are not connected by the supplied USB (but noted still within guidelines outlined in the detailed spec) have intermittent drop outs where we have to disconnect and reconnect the USB. They are very sensitive to imperfections (assuming) in the manufacturing of the USB cable. Example we have two identical smartboard supplied with two identical length USB cables supplied at the same time same place and connected to an identical model machines. One smartboard drops out all the time where the other doesn't. After several permutations of problem solving. We came to the conclusion it was the USB
  15. Lol so they are. With a job that under no circumstances do you ever overlook the obvious, I just did. Evidently need more coffee. Mind My solution is still accurate and I'm sure will help someone, it just not relevant to this post [emoji23]
  16. Looking at the detailed spec on the smart board it is compliant to hdmi 1.4 and recommends that the cable is no longer than 5m. Outside these parameters would cause symptoms you describe. Check your cables. I would remove all hardware between the computer and panel for test purposes then add the splitter then the hdmi converter. As these two things can also be the cause As a test I would grab a laptop with up to date drivers and connect a hdmi cable directly to the panel to see if you get similar symptoms This may be of use http://downloads.smarttech.com/media/sitecore/en/support/product/sbfpd/6000series/guides/spnl6000_adminguide_27jun16.pdf
  17. The reason your image is upside down is because projectors have a setting which will project in different orientations. We only use Epson so can't claim whether other manufacturers use the same. On epson projectors if you look in extended and projection mode there are options to project front desk, front ceiling, rear facing desk, rear facing ceiling.
  18. @rogerdnixon +1 If you are looking to store them all in a OneDrive account or similar, just a href link on the webpage to the document. However I imagine it will become quite difficult to manage quite quickly once you are linking 100's of documents. A doc manager extension is probably the best but that would also depend on local storage limitations. As it has been a long while since using joomla we used a docman and found storage the biggest issue. I would have hoped that someone would have written a document manager extension that integrates with a cloud solution
  19. Setting a hard quota will show in explorer as their quota amount with the graphical bar. We have this setup and We have email warnings firing out at 75%, 95% and 100%
  20. Personally I wouldn't use the Serial as a computer name mainly for the reason of remote supporting the computer, that doesn't mean that your reason for using it aren't justified or wrong WDS uses a combination of string prefix and MAC address
  21. This script works on mine. In theory regardless of the script used, if there is a computer name that is the same on the network it should error like it does if you manually change it through the GUI. if you are going to run this within a domain admin account then it will authenticate ok however if you automate it under a user that doesn't have permission then you may have to supply the switch -User and -Password. bear in mind this will be readable whilst the script runs. ChangeName.cmd @echo off for /f "tokens=*" %%f in ('wmic bios get serialnumber /value ^| find "="') do set "%%f" Echo My Serial Number is %serialnumber% Set NewPCName=%SerialNumber% for /f "tokens=*" %%f in ('wmic computersystem get name /value ^| find "="') do set "%%f" Set OLDPCName=%Name% Echo %NEWPCNAME% Echo %OLDPCNAME% if %NEWPCNAME% == %OLDPCNAME% ( GOTO END ) ELSE ( GOTO DEPOL ) :DEPOL echo This computer will be renamed from %OLDPCNAME% to %NEWPCNAME% wmic computersystem where caption='%OLDPCNAME%' rename %NEWPCNAME% echo This computer is scheduled to restart in 60 seconds shutdown -r -t 60 timeout 55 :END echo end tested on a windows 7 computer
  22. Are you looking to rename a computer to its serial number or cross reference a list that associates a name based on a serial number. Can you give an example
  23. Maybe worth trying a win 10 boot image? It is possible it could be conflicting drivers in the boot image. We had a hp model of machine that would select the wrong graphics driver but that was post install image not boot image
  24. We have had something like this in two issues 1 - some computers models with USB 3 2 - on pc that had a specific keyboard with inbuilt card reader again needed drivers putting in the boot image. Both don't sound like they are the problems you are having as if it were a driver issue why would it work second time around. Are you using an updated windows 10 boot image. If so try downgrading to win 7 boot or if not use a win 10 boot
  25. Sccm or gpo you can deploy either way . The mechanism of how you deploy it doesn't matter and wasn't the question. I'll admit I've never used sccm and have very little experience or knowledge but from what I read about it and maybe wrong in saying but You cannot call a script on shutdown in sccm where gpo you can. Regardless of the fact The question was how to automate an installation with variable switches in the easiest and simplest possible way. GUIs will come and go meaning you will always have to find a solution to a problem you have already done. Not saying sccm is bad but I have not found an incentive or the time to implement and use it myself, which is why I probably can't appreciate it. Why fix something that isn't broken. Scripting is timeless and efficient when written properly and don't cause any disruption on my network. It Maybe old School techniques but cmd and ps scripting will always remain. Also you don't have to put it in startup. I agree you shouldn't make startup and login any slower then it necessarily has too. Alternatively I would prefer call scripts on shutdown. A time when the end user is not likely to be waiting around. That is my opinion but on the back of this as it is school hols sometime over the next few weeks I may implement sccm and see what the hype is about.
