  1. We have a shared/public calendar within outlook 2010 that has appointments categorised with colours. All users can see these colours apart from one user out of around 85. This user only sees the appointments they have created in the colour they assigned it but appointments made by other users appear as green (which i am assuming is default). Does anyone know how to resolve this so the user sees the colours the same as all other users? Thanks!

    VDI VMware

    I didn't state that I don't know what I want to achieve. I know what I would like to achieve but I would like to know what other people think about VDI and see if there was anything I was missing.

    VDI VMware

    I'm looking at taking part in a pilot for a VDI solution and I need to outline what I hope to achieve from this. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
  4. No it's XP. Students don't have privileges to be able to change system menu sizes. If it's not an option to increase the menu size in word itself then that's a bit disappointing!
  5. Does anyone know how to increase the size of the tool bar in word 2010. Have a visually impaired student and they are finding it difficult to view the tool bar. I can't find any instructions on the Microsoft office forum and I have checked within the view tab and checked in options but I can't find how to increase the size.
  6. We use Exchange 2010. Within Outlook 2010 I know you can you set a background and signature but how do you set this so that all staff have a background and signature as default without having to set it per user? Also the background and signature is only required for emails sent out of school, is this something that can be set?
  7. How do you set a background to all users so that when they send an email externally the background is displayed on the email along with the school name and logo as the signature. Internal emails are required not to show this.

  9. Nope I can't see anything from the events logs relating to this issue.
  10. I use the con2prt.exe and the bat file goes like this: IF %computername%==IT-01 GOTO IT :IT con2prt /c \\printers\IT_COLOUR con2prt /c \\printers\IT_BLACK GOTO end It works fine for over 300 computers, only 2 that won't map the printers
  11. I have 2 computers showing the 'UNC paths are not supported' error message when trying to run a script to map local printers. Followed the instructions from Microsoft support Cmd.exe does not support UNC names as the current directory However now when I run the bat file, cmd only shows the message '1 file copied' but the printers still aren't mapped. Anyone have any ideas? Cheers.

    Tarsia 3.9

    I have installed some software called Formulator Tarsia and on some computers the software will not load, the error message "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." I have reinstalled the software and it still doesn't work. It works on other computers though. I'm assuming that there could be something installed on the computer causing a conflict or something that is not installed on the computer therefore the software cannot work without this. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    Software issue

    We have been using a piece of software for 10 years and have been notified that we have not paid our annual fee for the past few years and that we now owe a back payment. We have had no correspondence for nearly 5 years regarding this so I’m not sure why this has only just come to the company’s attention. Does anyone know anything about licenses, can they do this?
  14. This issue is now resolved by using the following script: strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer") For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters IF objPrinter.Name = "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" THEN objPrinter.Delete_ ELSEIF objPrinter.Name = "Send To OneNote 2007" THEN objPrinter.Delete_ ELSEIF objPrinter.Name = "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" THEN objPrinter.Delete_ END IF Next
  15. Sorry I meant Send To OneNote, it would be best if this does not show with the printers. If this could be deleted at login via a script that would be great.
  16. Does anyone know how to remove the Send To OneNote as this is causing problems on the network with users assuming this is the printer. Is there a script that can be used so when the user logs on Send To OneNote is deleted?
  17. I would say use PowerDVD but you stated about fees, we use K-Lite codec pack, seems to play most DVD's through windows media player since installing this.
  18. We had this problem. We would install flash on the image but it would also be deployed through GPO. We stopped installing flash on the image and left it to deploy through GPO and not had any problems since.

    Pupils trying to hack

    Actually if a pupil trying the trick of pulling out the network cable to bypass GPO surely this wouldn't apply once they had logged off and the network cable was connected again. The network cable was in place on this pc and I tried 5 different pupil profiles and they all came up without the pupil policy!

    Pupils trying to hack

    All accounts get the admin profile on this pc in question, after a rebuild the issue is resolved. I may try the network cable unplug trick to see if this is what they have done. Does anyone know of any other little tricks they may try to be as naughty as possible? We have had some pupils trying to hack the webfilter but we managed to prevent that. It's always good to be one step ahead of them!!
  21. Hi, does anyone have any idea how a pupil could of changed the profile/settings on a pc as when a pupil logs on they don't get the profile they should, instead they get admin interface. I have rebuilt the pc to resolve this issue but I am interested to know how they managed to bypass the correct profile.
  22. Does anyone know of any good extensions/modules that are good for deveolping websites?
  23. Thanks rush_tech, I used the editor and it works a treat!!
  24. Ok thanks for that 3s-gtech. Anyone know how to add photos. I'm try to add a picture to a front page announcment and it comes up with the insert image window but nowhere to upload the actual image just boxes to link to the url of the image. Also does anyone know where I can get a nice plugin that will scroll text along the page, so we can add info?
  25. Ah thanks Mossj, I have managed to move it to the left hand side, do you know how I can add a red boarder to each menu item? On the template there are some blocks on each side of the template with sample news and info, before I had just created these on the left hand side and made them links to the page, they were in blocks then and I could change the background colour.
