Just set it up with one account, no password. Put a shortcut in the startup folder which will execute iexplore -k http://www.ourwebsite.com Edit: that wouldn't be very locked down though, maybe easier to use a linux distribution like thinstation and do something simlilar with firefox.

The testbase installer is the most ridiculuous thing i've ever seen, there are other bits of software using the same installer (or maybe just testbase renamed as other things for other curriculum areas). I think we've also got things called exampro and examquest (or something similiar) using the same install method. I am about to recommend to one member of staff that they try and get a refund on a piece of software which incorporates a shared access database and a client program which refuses to write to it.

Does anyone know of an ethernet based hardware shoutcast receiver which could be used to relay a shoutcast stream to some speakers via the network without needed someone to configure it everytime. Failing that something exists, is there a tiny ssd based PC with an audio output that could be set to just boot into a shoutcast receiver program and wouldn't mind having the power cut on it?

Just spent a while trying to make a RasDisable adm, i'm a bit of an AD rookie but it seems work ok. CATEGORY "Logon Settings" KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" POLICY "RasDisable" VALUENAME "RasDisable" VALUEON "1" VALUEOFF "0" END POLICY END CATEGORY

I ordered two Sahara ones and am going to fit them this week, they do look sturdy and no soldering. Seems like a winner.

We are an RM CC3 site but I wanted to trial a vanilla system on the side by creating a new set of OUs and GPOs separate from the RM ones. The problem is whenever I log in with a user from an RM OU it is pulling through the user settings from RM GPOs. Is there any way to stop user settings applying based on the workstation and then let me override with new GPOs to manage user settings in a vanilla environment, I've tried every combination of inheritance blocking and overrides I can think of but still can't get the GPOs to flow the way I want. Edit: Just found this Unable to Block Group Policy Inheritance - Active Directory I'll have to have a read about loopback processing mode

I've got a 1TB WD Caviar Green, I definitely wouldn't use it in a RAID array as you wouldn't want different parts of the array spinning at different speeds (I think rotation speed depends on head position and can vary by a few thousand rpm). It also spins down a lot.

I'm using Vostro 1510s with Fog although i'm still using the kernel that was in 0.25 (I think), using the same kernel for Optiplex 760 desktops with no problems. Apart from setting the SATA mode to ATA everything worked with no problems.

Thanks! Is the build quality of it good?

Does anyone know of an AV wallbox which allows the cables to connect to it vertically/sideways rather than at right angles to the wall. We are constantly getting cables damaged or ripped out by people wheeling around on their chairs or cables being accidentally tugged, in a few instances the entire AV box has been ripped of the wall. Surely someone somewhere makes a longer thinner box which allows you to plug your cables up into the underside or side and keep all the cabling flush to the wall? I appreciate that having decent desk positioning and layout can partially solve the problem, but unfortunately in most rooms we don't have that either...

I think some people have had issues with fog and service partitions. I've had a multi-partition image which didn't work quite right, but that wasn't a bootable one like a service or restore and the problem could be fixed through the disk management application in Windows afterwards. I would try it with just one partition so then you know whether you should be directing your attention at the BIOS, SysPrep, or Fog.

Is it a sysprep image? If it is just try installing windows, upload image, deploy image to make sure it isn't an issue with the sysprep process. Start with a totally blank drive as well so you don't have any service or restore partitions in the mix.

No, it's just this switch. PDC is fine going into a netgear one. I can have everything in the building running on this new switch and it's fine, until I connect the PDC into the mix. All the other switches are behaving as normal.

Yes, it does the same thing with the supplied allied telesyn module and also a borrowed netgear one from another switch.

We've tried changing the cabling and and swapped to a different network adapter. The switch is back with the contractor now and we have a temporary unit in place, he has used the serial port in the past to connect to the switch at his office so hopefully he's currently investigating the switch logs. I must confess that I've never done any switch management over any kind of terminal session. Is it relatively straight forward?

A few months ago we had an Allied Telesyn AT-8000s switch installed by contractors, it would seem to reboot itself every minute or so although a connection would sometimes be present in between reboots. The switch has (allegedly) been sent back to Allied Telesyn and the contractor has told us that we must have a network loop causing the problem. We had the switch brought back today, and after a day of playing with it we have realised that having our Primary Domain Controller on the network causes the reboots, unplug that one server and everything is fine. The final test configuration was the PDC on a fibre link directly into the switch, no other equipment involved, the switch still resets itself. Is it possible that some bizarre server traffic could crash / reboot / reset a switch in under a minute, or is the switch faulty? The contractor is asking me about spanning tree settings on the server, i've never heard of spanning tree settings on anything other than switches. Any advice would be appreciated.

You could try Squash. squash - Project Hosting on Google Code It's really simplistic but it's free, fast and easy. I use it to resize stuff for our site.

Anyone using this in production? http://development.moodlerooms.com/course/view.php?id=30&page=587 I was looking at SSO portals to use with Google Apps, this seems a lot simpler. As I read it, Moodle authenticates from LDAP database, automatically does the SSO bit, creates accounts and logs you into Google Apps. I'm guessing it might cause problems with direct access to imap, smtp, calendars etc as the passwords wouldn't be set. Or is anyone doing anything similar with SimpleSAML instead?

It will run behind a proxy, but certain parts of the management interface get very sluggish and the kernel update section doesn't work at all (you can still install more manually though). The actual imaging functionailty doesn't seem to be affected though.

I don't have the GUI installed, but in a console window type and it should display the file ownership and permissions. You should be able to set the ownership and permissions through the GUI or by using chown and chmod. Or if you wanted to try another way, switch the files back so the 'old' file is the one being used again, then just make the changes in bold to update it, that should eliminate permissions as a problems as it's the original file.

Yes, a reboot restarts it. Are you using version FOG 0.26? Just to double check, the replacement file should have these changes?

Could you try restarting apache just in case?

Which codec did you roll out ot get the flip cameras working? I thought the one supplied on the camera is commerically licensed so i've tried to use 3rd party ones but found that the decoding is so slow that on older pcs you can't edit properly in movie maker, sometimes you have to export the video just to be able to play it and see the edits. Video editing became the thing to do here a few months ago, a few departments bought dv camcomders and more flip video cameras and i'v ended up with similar problems to you and ended up trying to run the files thorugh 3 or 4 converters to try and get it into something they can definitely edit. We've got a suite of apple stuff so the easiest solution at the moment is to get it onto a mac, which is on the whole easier than the pc (for the devices i get given anyway - generally having lost any driver or application cds that were in the box) and then direct them in there to do there editing. That goes onto a seperate server so doesn't cause space problems on the main system. Unfortunately people don't seem to realise that video editing over a network is a bad thing and if there was a device or method to make it easier I think we would instantly have to tell people not to do it any more.

I've attached my edited and working version, so do a direct replacement for your one.hostlookupbymac.zip

noticed the same thing, it was the correct patch though as it fixed the problem.
