  1. could it be something to do with the mandatory profile, DVDs and other media files play as they should its just audio cds
  2. Running VLC v2 on windows 7 box and When our users insert an audio cd burnt or pressed vlc loads but i have a long delay before it starts to play has anyone come across this. Running mandatory profiles server 2008r2
  3. yes it is a bad idea especially if you use sophos or another type of av scanner that uses a console. just have a startup script to install it when the machine first booted
  4. I always clone one of the workstations before turning on for the first time as this can then be put back on at a later date if required. Best to do a fresh install so you don't have all the bloat ware
  5. could you do it with security permissions make a security group and make the machines or users member of said security group change the permissions on the icon to be only read by said group i did this a long time ago for the same reason
  6. 2 pence worth after moving away from sims a few years ago to serco i have now come to see sims in a different life yes it has its problems but now they seem to be getting things better. yes we moved back best thing we did My last call was answered quickly and i got a call back within the hour. solus 3 is great when it works but msi is the way to go come on what wake things complicated.
  7. Might not be related but we had a similar problem with FMs reports the date formats were all messed up. I pulled the registry settings for date format location etc from a known correct machine and imported them to faulty machine. This fixed the problem for me
  8. i had the same problem with some dell laptops a while back i did this to cure my problem on each workstation Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "GpNetworkStartTimeoutPolicyValue"=dword:00000 03c this fixed it for me dont know if it will help you but it is worth a try i included the registry entry in this thread about the 3rd entry down http://www.edugeek.net/forums/scripts/52057-wireless-logon-script.html
  9. I have asked what type of key they have provided, Any one know how you manage your mak keys to see how many activations you have used? I'm sure at some point I will need a Kms server set up but I am unsure how it will affect my other installs for example I have 22 macs boot camped with retail purchased windows 7 pro all separate keys and also have quite a number of oem windows 7 installs. It just feels like the whole licensing business is getting messy, but due to budget I can't rationalise it . Oem retail and upgrade licensing
  10. think it is a mak key ahh well going to sysprep this machine and see what happens when i activate.
  11. I have just purchased some laptops and they have win 7 home on. I have purchased 20 upgrade licences from our lea Well just 1 licence code do i need to set up a kms server for these to work or will i get away with not using one as i am only using 20 if i have to setup kms will it affect our other retail and oem windows 7 machines do i sysprep with the licence or do i leave it out and activate after the imaging process. Thanks in advance
  12. thats where i would look too its either a permission or a member of a admin/poweruser group
  13. beat me to it the gpos are in the same folder as the teacher console grab them from there you can then apply accordingly
  14. are your staff members of a administrator group?
