there is also a schema update to do... but all our servers now run it... it works fine in mixed mode too though, we updated our servers one at a time...

Ok I am in no way even an armature in SQL..... but this is what I want to do... we are trying to log usage of staff laptops, so I adapted a script my old colleague wrote for logging users who login anywhere in the school… (this should in theory catch them too but the staff laptops aren’t named in an easy selectable manner to run a query against the existing table so I just want to put them into another table too.. So I successfully changed the script and it works… however I had a problem with the Date (so does the original but as its for tracking students in IT rooms its ok), I guess some of the laptops must have American regional settings as it doesn’t insert a row when I include the date field (with a couple of exceptions)… so I was wondering rather than the script inserting the date can I get the server to automatically append the date to the row when it detects an insert? (I could also get rid of my Time Colum if I get the date field to work correctly…) Original snippet (only caught some users because of the date field) s = Wshnetwork.computername nm = wshnetwork.username theTime = FormatDateTime (now(),4) theDate = Date() s_sql = "INSERT INTO Teach_Sign (SignUser, SignComputer, SignTime, SignDate) VALUES ('" & nm & "','" & s & "','" & theTime & "','" & theDate & "')" m_rs.open s_SQL, m_cn, adOpenStatic My Script Snipit that works… but cause I removed the date field they all appear as 01/01/1900 00:00 s_sql = "INSERT INTO Teach_Sign (SignUser, SignComputer, SignTime) VALUES ('" & nm & "','" & s & "','" & theTime & "')" Like I said I would prefer the server side to append the date field but if you know how to make the VBS force the date to UK easily too that would do!! Thanks Gordy.

would it sound stupid to suggest Microsoft Share Point Portal Services?? That is what we use as our intranet ....precisely for that reason!!

I have unfortunately already installed my copy on a different server, But I have a x64 server running Virtual Server 2007 and that is exactly what I want to do... put it on a virtual server.. but to migrate it over looks more complex than installing it first off….. Doh………….

I can send you an Floppy Image.. if you like that works for me on my nx6325s use the image to make a boot CD and put your copy of Ghost.exe on the root of the CD...

RouterNT 10,664K ManagementAgentNT.exe 10,664K SavService.exe 39,024K SavAdminService 2,736K we have 6.5 Damit.. if only Sophos wasnt soo cheap through the LEA I would use something else!!!!

are the shortcuts in the redirected start menu ok? as in on the disk you can browes them just fine? what happens if you copy them some place else and re-direct the start menu to the new location. it sounds like you use roaming profiles, have you removed a profile of the profiles share and of the workstation and see what happens with the user when it recreates a new profile? is it any better

the -noide seems to work with Ghost 8.0 its going at about 280MB/Min now Thanks Guys

its a roll up update....

i third that advice...

Yes... i did it from an Exchange 2000 box to a new Exchange 2003 box.. there are lots of things you need to check... do a search I am sure this has been covered already. If the current Exchange Server is the first exchange server there are extra steps you need to take. The best method would be to install your new Exchange server whilst the other is still running... move all the mail boxes from old to new... leave it like this for a while so all the outlook clients work out that the mailbox has moved...

Never mind the full stops on BBC four on a Wed at 11pm though i think it is just finishing this week...

I’ve used WMEncoder to and Windows Media Server to push our radio (read winamp play list) out that students can listen too.. added to SharePoint Portal Server... but not tried to add content to VLE.. we have some training videos on demand streams too... my next project is to stream sky news or bbc news 24 if I cant get sky news... so people can keep up to date with what’s happening around the world hehe..

how on earth did you work that one out!!!!

i had horrible performance issues with one of my servers... it was the home drive server and held the profiles on the same server.. i off loaded the roaming profiles onto another server and its a lot better.. my problems were mostly experienced during login and the immediate few minutes after. I intend to get a new server next year

why not install the Beta.. would that not last untill you could afford the upgrade? i didn't check just an idea.

i'm with Security setting on gpo.. if you use gpo to push the printers its probably the cleanest way.. new GPO only applied to users of Special printer group...

if you are running a 2k or 2k3 network.. in domain environment the worksations sync the time with the server... check your servers clock

They are nice laptops though!!... just be glad you only have four... if they are SATA hdds.. (which i think they might be not checked.... ) you could allways pull them out and they will plug into a regular pcs sata port. and ghost them like that.. i'm glad i only have 6... i'll leave them ghosting over night i think... I have some NX6310s and they ghost just fine..they have broadcom 440x Nics in...

Has NetBios over TCP/IP been disabled on the Nic on the workstations?

I have got some HP NX6325 they have broadcom NetLink Gigabit Nic in and well it ghosts really really slowly (2-5MB/Min)... other terminals don't ghost slow... i have updated the bc57.dos driver to the latest of broadcoms webby.. has anyone experianced that with this NIC??? Gordon.

the way it was explained to me is that they only check websites against he IWFs list and flag up any hits. and as far as I can see the IWFs list is just for Illegal child pornography http://www.iwf.org.uk/public/page.148.htm

is this the same model? http://www.pcwb.com/catalogue/item/HPN0007 I got one of these.. really nice, runs vista aero fine, x64 since its core2duo http://www.pcwb.com/catalogue/item/HPN0069

I went to a SWGFL internet safety update in gloucs last week where it was referred to... and that is how I found out!!! when they say they let the Police know about illegal activity... they mean illegal... ie child porn... not anything else. (such as inappropriate material.. adult porn)... just attempts to access sites on the IWFs list.. Witch if you’re in Gloucs... I have an email address of the person who sends out updates works for the County Council I can pm you....
