  1. It'll be an install option, like server core - not being forced onto you. It's reduced overhead that's a big benefit. When your VM density gets higher, the memory/processor allocation for just having a GUI on each machine becomes a sizeable chunk of resource. If you've machines that very rarely need actual intervention, then a gui-less install is a big benefit.
  2. Yep - @RabbieBurns is correct. It won't display in OWA, but it'll still be on there when sent.
  3. I think @DrCheese was actually agreeing with you..... ;-) Saying that windows would be much worse CLI only...
  4. We get so many people confused that we don't sell anything, some even argue with us about it.... Good to catch up with familiar faces, and meet some edugeekers I've not before!
  5. Exchange 2010? Yes you can. By using targeted disclaimers on a transport rule with the IMG tag see here: Chris and Robin's Technology blog: Exchange 2010 Hub Transport - building an automated signature
  6. *Ahem* SKOOOOOOOOOOOOG
  7. *Ahem* SKOOOOOOOOOOOOG
  8. Saturday is for every nutter off the streets too - so no worries on job role! I'd say it's worth it for the networking alone, but every year there's at least one thing that, even if you don't buy, are interesting /good to see. Plus, edupizza....
  9. I think apple still claim it's not needed? there are a couple from a quick google though, intego? If it's a rogue app though it might not pick it up - maybe it'll just be a lesson to check what he's installing a bit better
  10. blat it, then re-add the apps he actually uses and see what happens?
  11. I assume we get to take a freebie from your racks home each?
  12. er, is it just me, or does that sound like someone was trying to sell you something?
  13. Er, no. Fogs an application. it provides PXE booting an OS to the clients to perform the image - but it's still an application. I'll also vouch for it's use, it's great :-)
  14. If you've got root on the stock rom, Titanium backup can freeze or remove system apps like bloatware without a custom rom. And yes, some kind of AV is always a good idea...
  15. Do they have access to the controls and you just want a shortcut? You could use the files option in GPP to copy them from a share to the desktop folder of the user? Unless you're already using roaming profiles, or redirected desktop?
  16. No problem, glad you've got it figured out There's some powerful stuff in GPP, but it's always something small that trips you up. The other doc I was looking for is here: whoops http://www.frickelsoft.net/blog/downloads/10%20things%20Group%20Policy%20Preferences%20does%20better.pdf
  17. That's a rather old OSX version, surely they've updated by now? ....I'll be hunting Smoothwall Gav's expense account.
  18. yeah, the first screenshot - you need to change the item level targeting so the second line says "OR the computer belongs to" rather than "AND the computer belongs to"
  19. Doesn't that have negative connotations...regarding students being dressed down......and techs...and ewww.
  20. I didn't say it resolved all the issues did I? It just makes it easier to have a look at a working model and see what it can do
  21. But, they do provide a vm template machine to deploy - which should make setup for the linux nervous a lot easier. I may even have a butchers....
  22. Computer OU is fine - it's the most useful that way as your users get the right printers for the computer location. You just need loopback processing to be working - it sounds like that's falling down. The printers should still be in the management console - and they also need to be listed in the directory for this to work properly. Although looking at that config again - have you got the GPP item level processing listing AND joins for various OUs? You probably want to right click those and change them to ORs - as the machine can only be in one OU
  23. Okay, this is the method I used back in 2k3 - I can't help any more than that - I've not touched 2k3 in years
  24. Aye, I wish I'd taken a copy of it, it was so useful
  25. Is one the default GAL? from memory, I think the suggested path is to set the default as denied for all, and then create two new ones with the user accounts asigned to the correct one....
