  5. @ alexanger i have put the mandatory on a network share with read access. i have changed it from .dat to .man am i right in think that if i redirect the desktop to the mandatory profile folder\desktop this will put all the folders / shortcuts on the desktop? also when i add the path to the profile for a test user, it defaults the my documents to the local machine\documents and settings folder. am i missing something else
  6. it is a desktop with set shortcuts so that user can't change it
  7. we are in the process of moving away from winsuite to a mandatory desktop. we are using using folder redirection on user my documents and app data. these both work. the issue is adding the mandatory desktop to the users account. i have followed microsoft documentation on how to create it and renaming the ntuser.dat to ntuser.man. i have added it into the user properties, but this doesn't work. i have also tried to add it into the desktop part of the folder redirection in GPO. this still doesn't work. i have look through countless forums on the net and they all say it shoould work, but it doesn't. Please help

  13. we bought a pack of 5 a while ago and it workout at about £10 each. did some searching and found the following from google Promethean Activpen (5 pack) Primary/Studio we inform staff that if they go missing, then they have to pay for them out of their budgets. this has worked and none have gone missing since. for smartboards i find that a post-it note is good to cover the sensors. remove it and draw to your heart content.
  14. good chuckle for monday morning.
  15. creese - we haven't tried that but will do. sted - it has the fqdn as it goes from the curriculum to the admin. we have checked the connect.ini file and all in there is as it should be.
  16. we are having issues with SIMs. All users on the curriculum network are getting the Reason 0 error when they try to log into SIMs during lesson times. all of the users on the admin network (this is where SIMs is installed) are unafected. we have tried re-installing SIMs, installing it on a new machine, checking permissions and connect.ini and also that staff are using the correct login details. this problem isn't isolated to one area of the network, it is on random machines around the school (even my machine). i have been on capita's site and found a knowledge base but we have checked out a few of them and this doesn't seem to have worked.

  20. i think i will put this in an e-mail to all of our staff. he discribes it such a way that makes it easy to understand (even for teachers)
  21. we have liecenced radios with a dedicated channel for IT. these work well and provide radio coverage throughout the school. which means there is no where to hide and work quietly
