tell a lie you may need 2 gpo to differentiate between student and teacher installers. but with minor adjustments you can make a script for teachers and one for students. if you are really feeling brave you could try modifying the script to determine whether it is a teacher or student pc.

Why not create a batch file which looks for environment variables and link it to a startup script. Quickly whipped this script up based on my computers naming convention eg Room-PCNum eg s11-01, s9-02 etc etc Install.cmd @echo off #Finds the computers name for /f "tokens=*" %%f in ('wmic computersystem get name /value ^| find "="') do set "%%f" #Truncates the name before the - to get the room name set "name=%Name:-="&rem % #Sets a case based on the result which will assign it a channel 2>NUL CALL :CASE_%NAME% IF Errorlevel 1 Call :DEFAULT_CASE Exit /B :CASE_IT1 Set CHANNEL=1 GOTO Install :CASE_IT2 Set CHANNEL=2 GOTO Install :CASE_IT3 Set CHANNEL=3 GOTO Install :DEFAULT_CASE ECHO Room not in the list GOTO END_CASE :Install #Installs based on the parameter obtained above Echo Parameters Collated installing room %NAME% on Channel %CHANNEL% #runs the command line script inputting the Channel as the variable obtained echo Msiexec.exe /i "\teacher.msi" /qn ADVANCED_OPTIONS=1 SECURE_MODE=1 PASSWORD=test PASSWORD_CONFIRM=test CHANNEL=%CHANNEL% ENABLECHANNELSELECT=0 LCS=192.168.2.3 RELAY=10.1.1.2 :END_CASE #Cleans up VER > NUL GOTO :EOF [/Code] One group policy assigned to many OU's Hope this helps

Other s3 quirks to watch is when an update is released and the computer is offline, it will deploy the update on delay on coming back online. Typically 5mins by which time the staff are already reporting an incompatible database error. Every update now I send an all staff email explaining there has been an update and if sims isn't working instructing them... First to try manually updating from the s3 agent or waiting a max 10 mins before logging with IT Hope this helps

Click back on the agents tab and find the deployed agent it will give you a status update at intervals One thing to watch after deployment check that the connect.ini for sims and fmsconnect.ini are correct. I had to deploy a gpo that robocopy the two over to the computers install path on shutdown/startup script

Yes there are firewall settings you have to deploy to all your computers. This is an email that our sims support sent me

Don't have any documentation but from memory if you click on target Click on clients Down the bottom click add Tick fms and click add computer Select computers Install submitting an administrator credentials for the installation Hope this helps

https://faq.scomis.org/kb3062/ Found this. Enabled Uac is not supported so looks as though you may have to disable it to use it anyway. Run through the link see if anything jumps out or resolves your problem

To setup solus you would need to contact your sims support provider to register and license the client. (We had to anyway). As Matt mentioned you will be paying your lea for sims support so you may as well delegate them the task.

Wasn't questioned whether it should or shouldnt be enabled. if you were to disable it to test, Depending on the outcome would determine what route you would take to resolve it

I know you said you tried your domain admin and local admin but Is your domain login a member of local adminstrators group. Something else to consider Also is UAC enabled?

Have you full read write access to the s: Trying running and elevated cmd window s:\sims\setups\fmsinst.exe Not done this manually since solid 3. Definitely the way forward.

What happens if you type echo THEDATE after all the dates variables have been set? Does it display correctly?

A suggestion I am looking at %20 symbol which denote a space in URL encoding. Could be screwing things up. I haven't got any technical reason why it could be other than it has caught me out through unrelated issues in the past. My suggestion still stands to recreate the unattend file using windows system image manager which is part of waik

It's not by default but you can enable it by using bcdedit http://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/windows-10/103/enable-f8-safe-mode.html

Are you saying that you cant use f8 to show the advanced startup menu? Maybe it has been disabled using bcdedit. Try booting a windows disc to command prompt then bcdedit /set {default} advancedoptions true

Try rewriting and exporting the unattend file using WAIK

Have you tried removing the local profile on the computer you are testing it on? If this is the solution it will pose a problem as you're not likely going to want to delete all locally cached profiles on all computers

Quite right I didn't read the whole thread where the OP managed to get to a password prompt. Your options are limited to configuring the switch again I'm afraid. I assume your predecessor has no config backups of the switches on site? This is something I would strongly advise on all your switches. Would make this situation easier in the future to remedy in case something went wrong. Have you no other HP switches you can log on to? You may be able to backup and tweeK the config slightly to suit your problematic switch. Would save loads of time configuring all the vlans If you can... Type sh runand copy paste into a notepad TweeK On factory reset switch Login conf t paste in to destination wr mem

Couple things Increase the baud rate on the serial port. Some of the more modern switches work at 15600. Read the manual for the switch to confirm baud rate Try cycling the power on the switch. I have a couple hp switches that didn't connected until a restarted them. Get a different serial cable If all that fails and you don't know the password then it is likely that you will need to skip all steps above and factory reset and configure again. Maybe the quickest solution

I had the same thought as @Arthur Two things Make sure you are running ps as administrator And ... Create a sub directory at least in c: or export somewhere you have full write privileges. Maybe consider disabling Uac

Yeah they also give you an off peak time bracket that doesn't count towards your download cap between if my memory serves me correctly 12midnight and 6am. Not that you have a download cap but you still have fair usage. Very good for those scheduled downloads. [emoji12]

Turned out to be the USB driver. Unplugged the USB from the projector , hey presto no more bsod

Plus net fibre and I don't have any complaints. I had to send their router back as i burnt it out which they replaced no problem. I keep theirs as a spare now as I use my own.

If it is Bsod then it will create a mini dump file in %systemroot%\minidump and use blue screen viewer to analyse the the dmp files. This may give you a better indication of what may be causing it

I have had this issue where I tried to capture an image on a specially customised pc that developed a faulty hdd. It wouldn't capture past 23%. I unfortunately had to rebuild the pc then capture the hdd afterwards
