Indeed - that would make sense!

@Grommit - No worries! @dhicks - Indeed I've noticed the same! I'd have to go with Squid as a cheap option. Bloxx is also good, but rather pricy for most organisations.

Indeed - emailing the reports is the best option. You can even flag it to view later if needed!

Grommit - This has been discussed extensively. Try searching on the forums or trying a site:edugeek.net filtering on Google?

Indeed - MDB's are a bloody nightmare... synchronisation failures! Spelling correction in above post “head” to “heard”! hehe

@djones - cmd /c regedit /s \\servershare\servername\key.reg Is that what you mean?

I've always mapped drives via login scripts, can you do this via startup scripts then? I've never tried!

I'm with you Gecko, I'm not a big fan of Symantec either. I for one have never heard AV causing Hard Drive failures? As stated, don't exclude .doc and .xls!

Same salary for Slough?

@gaz350 - you're a legend! Thanks everyone... I'll give this ago. I'll keep you posted. Ok - I have installed Server Tools onto my 'admin client'. Open WGM, select the globe, and select Other, Active Directory and then All Domains. I then receive the following error: "Got unexpected error" "Error of type eDSCannotAccessSession (- 14006) on line 3181 of /SourceCache/ServerManagerApp/ServerManagerApp-230.2.51/PMMUGMainView.mm" When I've managed to get /Active Directory/All Domains it says "Not authenticated". When selecting the pad lock and entering AD domain credentials it fails authentication, along with all other AD and Mac OS X Server account credentials. Have you seen this before?

Thanks guys! Looks like the folk before me have done half a job here obviously. Do you have any documents on setting up/ensuring the Mac server is setup with AD? When trying to add an AD group in Workgroup Manager it finds nothing under ActiveDirectory/AllDomains.

Thanks - have checked permissions. All OK.

Interestingly there are no groups, nor AD users. Only admin_mac which is our Mac Administration account. They're authenticating against AD though?

Cheers 'ashok'! I'll apply the patch to the problematic server!

Another vote for NetStumbler!

Nice idea ZH!

@ ashok - how did it go? Whatever next, I have a new VSS error on a different server now! Here is the Backup Exec error message: Anyone have this message? :S

@gaz350 - Yep they're pulling down prefs from workgroup manager I believe - I'll check this. Thanks! @gecko - I have it working for my administration account, likewise for everyone I have shown how to create an Alias for. I would like this automated for everyone, due to endless requests! Thanks guys! I didn't think I had any replies, forget to sign up to the thread I think! I've checked it out, now I notice that there is the user account of the admin in the workgroup manager. That's it, I take this is because all other users are authenticated via AD. How would I manage the dock of all these users? My understanding is I change the preferences on the 'Guest Computers'. Is this correct?

Indeed - James, any luck?

I'd be interested in seeing these in action too. I've setup 2003 here a while ago and am now looking at a possible upgrade. Could I have a few links? Cheers!

Morning all, I've a little question, which I'm sure won't be too difficult to solve. As you may be aware I'm relatively new to the OS X environment. I'm currently building our second image of our iMac's. I would like an Alias that connects to a Network Drive Share on all users desktops that login on the iMac's. Is this possible? How do I do it? Thanks for your time!

Indeed another vote for Misco. We've purchased 180 Toshiba Satellite Pro's from them.

I suppose I'm sad too...

Sorry to go off topic slightly - I've been looking at the Mobile Speed Camera Detection GPS receivers, what would you recommend?

Indeed - Ahh it wasn't just me then! *relief*
