Technically speaking, the OP was displaying the material.

Personally I think the speed limit should be dynamic. If the motorway is empty, set the limit to 90mph. If it's jam-packed, drop it to 50mph. There are enough traffic cameras about to make this feasible, and it should be a simple matter of adding more electronic signs. That's my tuppence, anyway.

Dydd gwyl Dewi hapus i chi, hefyd! I have daffs growing in my front garden. Not too long before they bloom.

So, various tech blogs have stuff released on Honeycomb. It's looking goooooooood. Info for sysadmins: full system encryption, as well as group policy-like controls over it.

We're having issues at the moment, and I want to set the printer back to factory defaults. Does anyone here: A) Know how to do that? or B) Would someone be able to send me a printout of their configuration? Cheers.

My plan is getting my fitness up to a point where I can cycle to work. Before I moved house I'd have a massive hill to climb, but now I live at the top of that hill! So, with Spring (I'm not going out now, it's too cold) I'm going to be on my bike as much as possible. It's only about eight miles to the school, so it shouldn't take more than an hour.

Right, think I've figured this out. First, .Net 4 needs to be installed, but you need the full version, not the client package. .NET Framework Deployment Guide for Developers As far as I can tell, this can't be deployed via GP, either. So I sorted it with psexec: psexec @x:\path\to\computerlist.txt -d -c -v -n 3 -u "DOMAIN\USERNAME" "\\path\to\dotnetfx4_full.exe" /repair /x86 /parameterfolder Extended /passive /norestart Then once that's done, I created a batch file to transfer the installation files to the target machines. xcopy "\\path\to\Microsoft Expression" "c:\temp\MSE" /D /E /I /H /Y /Q cd c:\temp\MSE\Setup\ xsetup.exe -q -manifest:WebStudioManifest.cab And called it with another psexec line: psexec @x:\path\to\computerlist.txt -d -c -v -n 3 -u "DOMAIN\USERNAME" "\\path\to\install_expression.bat" And that's it.

Just a note for anyone else: When running the xsetup command that AngryTechnician quoted above, the manifest file must be in the current working directory. EDIT: I'm mixing my threads up...

I tried it earlier, but it doesn't give anything that would really cover the error I'm having. Here's the help msgbox: --------------------------- Microsoft Expression Web Setup --------------------------- Command-line switch error: Invalid source location. Usage: [options] [-?] Show this usage information. <-manifest:filename> Cabed XSetup XML manifest file name. Example: -manifest:XSetup.cab. [-q] Run in quiet mode.

Example: Foo:ADDLOCAL=ALL Example: Foo:REMOVE=ALL (removes Foo product features) Example: Foo:ADDLOCAL=FooFeature Example: Foo:ADDLOCAL=FooFeature,BarFeature Obviously the -source switch looks the most promising, but I don't really know how to implement it (even if it is the right option). Bugger it, I'll copy the files to the targets and try and figure all this out at a later date. It's too close to Christmas.... Cheers for the help, all.

If I try this, I get the following error: --------------------------- Microsoft Expression Web Setup --------------------------- Setup encountered an error: An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework. This release of the .NET Framework does not enable CAS policy by default, so this load may be dangerous. If this load is not intended to sandbox the assembly, please enable the loadFromRemoteSources switch. See Element for more information. Any ideas? I'm running the install from a network drive (It's a mapped drive, not a UNC). If there's no workaround I'll have to push the installation files to each machine.... :/

Any ideas? I can't seem to find documentation on it, so I was wondering if anyone here was aware of an easy deployment method.

It's under security settings. For the life of me I just could not see it. I couldn't find my car keys this morning, either, so I don't think there's much hope for me.

The DC is 2003. Is there an ADM that I can download to enable this functionality?

I didn't realise you could set NTFS permissions with group policy. Care to show me how?

Cheers for that. It didn't occur to me to remove the quotes as it was picking up the machine names and looping through them. Thinking straight is a lot harder with a cold....

Thanks for the reply. Going to have to consider forking out more for originals, then, it seems...

As usual there's a major difference between original and compatible prices. Was wondering if anyone here uses the above printer, and if they've shoved compatibles in. How did they respond?

I needed to change the permissions of a folder on a number of machines to enable write access by pupils and staff. If I run the command: psexec @"c:\computers.txt" cacls "c:\Program Files\Application" /E /T /C /G Users:F It loops through all the computers and returns "with error code 2" for each machine, cannot find the file specified. But if I run the following command: for /F %A in (c:\computers.txt) do psexec \\%A cacls "c:\Program Files\Application" /E /T /C /G Users:F It completes the task without issue. The computers.txt file is the same in both instances. It just seems strange that I have to circumvent the built-in functionality. This is more of a head-scratcher than anything so I was wondering if anyone could explain to me the reason for this.

It's funny how the one-star reviews are slating Amazon themselves

Agreed with the above. Hourly rate that's easy enough to calculate. Remember to charge enough that you get a decent return after keeping some for the tax man

Just iPhone? Where's the Android love? I'm going to write to my MP about this....

Joking aside, £10-13K for "MS Exchange, Active directory, Blackberry Server and SQL Administration" is just having a laugh. I know times are getting tough, but come on....

Why don't we flip that around? If the school makes a concious decision to employ someone that lives 25 miles away and know they will have to commute and then when the weather turns bad they say they can't, why should the individual be punished for that? IMO if the weather is sufficiently bad to prevent travel, then the wellbeing of the person is the priority. I know that if my employer gave me an ultimatum of "come to work, or you're not being paid" and then I crashed my car due to attempting travel, they'd be speaking to my solicitor.

Just ice on the windscreen. There's no way I'd be able to get to work if it started snowing.

To be honest, I only ever once tried to play Syndicate but my PC wouldn't load it. I wasn't savvy enough to work it out at the time. So my only experience was Syndicate Wars, which I loved.
