Thanks - fingers crossed - 1st test worked OK. Anything to get rid of Firefox. I am using GPO to control Chrome - but it's the firewall that is the issue with GoogleUpdate as it did not allow for proxies. Good eh? It isn't the fastest install going - but if it enables me to get rid of that memory intensive Firefox I'll be happy!

Hi Ben The setting is not present when I look at the tables in ORCA. J.

Hi Google Chrome 15 for Business now allows you to install behind a firewall by switching off Google Update at install. However you have to use the line msiexec /i GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi NOGOOGLEUPDATEPING=1 How do I get GoogleChrome to roll out over a network using Active Directory as usually when I try to alter something I do a network /a install and alter the files contained within. thanks in advance James

Hi Just happened today - students logged into their accounts. As admin I can't access their files whilst they are logged in - even on the server. I do wonder if someone has changed something, or Win 2008R2 updates have caused something to happen. thanks James

I think you might have cracked it! Will check in the morning.

Hi H: which is what the folder share is set to in AD and works in XP doesn't work in Win 7. Have taken out net share h: /home in the script too. Other drives map fine either by script or using AD. Just not the home folder. No issues at all in XP. J.

Hi The RunWord.cmd I found with XP I had to add in more to the AppPath - yet it works straight away with Win 7. The additional to the AppPath I had to add was c:\program files\microsoft\microsoft - rest OK...

Thanks all. Will dump net share h: /home tomorrow and see what happens with both XP and 7. J.

Hi We run a mix of XP and Win 7. On the profiles in AD it is set that the home folder is H: \\server\%username%$ and on login a bat file that states net share H: /home this works in XP - but in Win 7 H:\ is not set to the home share. Yet the Documents folder is linked OK. Any thoughts?

Nope. Just double-checked.

Hi I had a batch script that was converted to an EXE that searched for different versions of Office programs and then opened the right one. e.g. for Word it would look for say Office14\Word.exe - if so would run it and end - if not it would continue and look for Office13\Word.exe and end and so on. Could someone please write me the basics for this to find a program of one version, if not to open the other version.

Hi - yes d/l from there and also the Chromium website points to the same place. J.

On Printers Script Policy - Loopback processing mode is set to Merge There is no Loopback enabled on Student GPO Domain Policy is down at Number 16 on the list on the machine for precedence. Everything else above it. If I set Enforced to on should that make it work for sure? I just don't want to experiment too much and take out the network with everyone using it. Working in a small school we area all out of the building by 6pm and it is closed at weekends so no time to play without hurting anyone!

Hi I know - but it just seems very odd that it is doing this. The same is the issue with Passwords. I want Staff to have a Complex password and Students to be able to set a normal one. Why is Default Domain Policy over-writing everything and yet everything says it shouldn't be. J.

Hi Got the Default Domain GP - Proxy set Set a Student GP - set a different proxy - doesn't work - default domain wins Check GP modelling and Student GP should win through (according to order of preference and results) Is this anything to do with Printer Policy that is set to "merge" policies. J,

Hi Installed Chrome ADMX and ADML files tonight on our Windows 2008R2 server in c:\windows\policy definitions folder When I open up Policy Manager and try to edit a policy I get various parsing errors. Am using Chrom 14.3 and latest files from Google - is anyone else having problems?

When students access the Internet in school what do they see as the default webpage?

Set-up - IE8, Windows 2008R2 Hi I have a number of sites listed as Trusted because of the use of NTLM authentication for Intranet sites. However, when I move from a non-trusted site to a link to a trusted site with IE8 I keep on getting a pop-up asking if I am sure. Where in group policies can I switch off this annoying pop-up? thanks J.

Hi There have been no posts on the forum for a while. Is 1.5 still on the cards? What is happening?

I am getting IIS with a 401.1 error and no sign of authentication in the IIS logs - just tried it on a new website tonight on the same server. So something is being denied somewhere. Even put myself into the local domain policy so I can log on locally......running out of ideas.....

Hi I've tried altering auth.php and have had no luck. It seems Firefox is pulling back sck (my userid) but everything else is not working. Even firefox doesn't work when I use just userid or domain\userid J. logs from IIS 2011-04-14 16:57:15 10.103.130.3 GET / - 80 sck 10.103.130.3 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+rv:2.0)+Gecko/20100101+Firefox/4.0 303 0 0 96 2011-04-14 16:57:15 10.103.130.3 GET /login/index.php - 80 sck 10.103.130.3 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+rv:2.0)+Gecko/20100101+Firefox/4.0 303 0 0 98 2011-04-14 16:57:15 10.103.130.3 GET /auth/ldap/ntlmsso_attempt.php - 80 sck 10.103.130.3 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+rv:2.0)+Gecko/20100101+Firefox/4.0 200 0 0 158 2011-04-14 16:57:15 10.103.130.3 GET /auth/ldap/ntlmsso_magic.php sesskey=ZUmEqDV1Ix 80 - 10.103.130.3 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+rv:2.0)+Gecko/20100101+Firefox/4.0 401 2 5 1 2011-04-14 16:57:15 10.103.130.3 GET /auth/ldap/ntlmsso_magic.php sesskey=ZUmEqDV1Ix 80 - 10.103.130.3 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+rv:2.0)+Gecko/20100101+Firefox/4.0 401 2 5 1 2011-04-14 16:57:19 10.103.130.3 GET /auth/ldap/ntlmsso_finish.php - 80 sck 10.103.130.3 Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+rv:2.0)+Gecko/20100101+Firefox/4.0 200 0 0 151 011-04-14 17:06:43 10.103.130.3 GET / - 80 - 10.103.130.3 WWW-Mechanize/1.0.0+(RubyForge: WWW::Mechanize: Project Info) 200 0 0 1945 2011-04-14 17:06:49 10.103.130.3 GET / - 80 - 10.103.130.3 WWW-Mechanize/1.0.0+(RubyForge: WWW::Mechanize: Project Info) 303 0 0 2563 2011-04-14 17:06:49 10.103.130.3 GET /login/index.php - 80 - 10.103.130.3 WWW-Mechanize/1.0.0+(RubyForge: WWW::Mechanize: Project Info) 303 0 0 307 2011-04-14 17:06:49 10.103.130.3 GET /auth/ldap/ntlmsso_attempt.php - 80 - 10.103.130.3 WWW-Mechanize/1.0.0+(RubyForge: WWW::Mechanize: Project Info) 200 0 0 225 These look odd....

Setup IIS 7.5 MSSQL Server 2008r2 and Windows Server 2008r2 PHP 5.3.5 Moodle v2 - Setup LDAP without issue and authentication is working. Setup NTLM SSO as per instructions and done the tinkering as per the instructions as well for IIS 7.5 I just can't get SSO to work - It tries to authenticate using SSO according to the IIS logs but it says that the user is unknown! If I just use Windows Authentication on a normal HTML page on the same website then it works! Yet for SSO failure! I am now stuck on what the issue could be...PHP? AD? - does the IIS user have to be in certain usergroups? It just doesn't want to play ball.

My head of music would like the best sound card possible but I am looking for something very reasonably price. I just need a sound card with MIDI out and audio inputs/outputs that are not 3.5mm jacks. Any recommendation.

Hi Looking at running Moodle on a Virtual Server. We have Hyper-V installed on 2008 R2. Any recommendations for a 64bit solution which is hardened for the web, rather than some of the bits and pieces that tend to be too open! thanks James

If students move the desktop icons about - is there anyway they can be reset so they are all on the left again when they next login? Is this data stored in desktop.ini for example?
