We use it on all of our curriculum machines and give teachers in deparments with computers the relevant channels. I have access to all the channels and therefore I can see all the computers and I've caught quite a few things going on! Very good bit of software, highly recommended. Support for Windows 7 is good, too.

Hotfix: The "Desktop Wallpaper" Group Policy setting is not applied in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

Yep and incorporating it into our new website.

Edexcel ActiveTeach etc

+1 I have this one in mine as of Friday. Very easy to upgrade the HDD. Just make sure you have a Fat32 external HDD to backup all your data.

I think it's about time MS sorted this with a Hotfix. Very annoying.

Evening, I've had a bit of a palaver this weekend. My iPhone updated to 3.1.3 OS but my phone was jailbroken and unlocked so it wiped this out. 3.1.3 OS also updates the baseband so I was in real trouble. I spent ages downgrading to 3.0 OS, flying round the internet working out how to downgrade the baseband which I managed to do with a version of Fuzzyband not on Cydia yet (had to manually insert files using iPhone Explorer). Then upgraded to 3.1.2 using a activated custom image (bypassing all errors with a bit of software)and unlocked with UltraSn0w. Now my iPhone won't sync with my applications on iTunes and if I add an application on the phone through AppStore, they just get wiped off when I try and sync with iTunes. When I tick all the applications I want to sync, they just untick again after syncing is complete. Can anyone help?! Thanks Scott

Thanks for the replies so far. The Printer Drivers are installed locally when the printer connects for the first time. So on a newly built computer, once the printer connects for the first time on first logon, the driver is in place. The issues arise with both students, staff and administrators. I will try these commands tomorrow, thanks. (RUN "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\server-01\Lib-Colour") Regarding Windows Server 2008. This could well be causing issues, we have some Windows 2003 Servers and some Windows 2008 only the 2003 ones are domain controllers/logon servers though. Today I experimented and moved a few printers over to a printserver I built as a virtual machine on one of our newest servers running Windows Server 2008 R2. The printer installations on these printers seemed more reliable until I carried out continued tests and there were still times (i'd say 3 times out of 10) when the printers just don't install.

Afternoon! This could well be one of the first, if not THE first post on this forum so Hello everyone. I have spent the first week of the Half-Term holidays deploying Windows 7 to all our curriculum computers around the site using WDS. Everything is working AOK (we were running Windows Vista before). EXCEPT the printers! We have the printers install depending on computer name so for example LIB-PC01 will install the Library printers: ; If logged onto a Library Compute ; Clear all printers and connect Lib-Laser and Lib-Colour if INSTR(@WKSTA,"LIB-") > 0 ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\server-01\Lib-Colour") ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\curriculum\Lib-Laser") ;*** Printer Script for IT2 *** IF INSTR(@WKSTA,"IT2-") > 0 ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\printserver\IT2-Laser") This is very hit and miss and sometimes nothing will happen, sometimes the driver will install but the printer won't appear in the list. I need help with this ASAP please as I really don't want to go around the whole site installing them locally which is what I will have to do if I can't find a solution from this website or other resources. Thanks! PS. Not a biggy but the Group Policy settings for Desktop Wallpaper also seems to be playing up on W7, ie. it appears BEHIND a black desktop background. Our one is definately pushing through because when logging off it appears briefly once the black overlay(?) disappears.

+1 I really enjoy using W7
