Have to agree here. GLPI combined with OCS Inventory NG (OCS Inventory NG - Welcome to OCS Inventory NG web site !) makes asset management easy. OCS audits your hardware. GLPI can then plug into your OCS repository. PM me if you would like more info

Perhaps it's time for the site to be re-branded. I propose educlique.net

Pardon ? If you read my entry it explains that I thought the OP was using Ghost instead of WDS. My accent must make me sound stupid

Right enough but I read from the OP entry that they would be using Ghost (or some similar imaging software) rather than WDS (which would be my preferred solution).

If you are going to image a machine that is already part of the AD domain then you will need to run newsid (NewSID v4.10) on every machine you build from that image.

Your machines will try to request the last ip address they had. If it is available they will assigned that address again. If not another will be assigned Do all the machines with an IP address conflict have the same address ?

Hi Chris I would try printing direct to the printer (from your workstation) and printing via your print server. This would help to narrow the problem down to either the printer or the print server.

Hi Rab Do you have the family contact details on your spreadsheet already? Or do you want to match contact details with the logons and passwords ? If you have all the details you need in the spreadsheet then I would carry out a mail merge with word using your spreadsheet as your data source. If you do not have these details then export from Phoenix as a CSV file. Then import your CSV and spreedsheet into access and join them (you'll have a better idea how to join them as you know what data you will be using). Then use the new joined up table as a data source for a mail merge.

Humble Pie it is then

You could try using 7zip to see if you can extract the contents of the EXE file. You could also try installing onto your own machine and searching for an msi whilst installing.

Most def YES. I had to install onto 60 machines. Used the msi + mst file to push it through AD. Easy Easy Party........scatter

NTUSER.MAN suggests that your are using mandatory profiles. I am not familiar with your setup but I would suggest copying the profile up to a server share and updating your user accounts in AD accordingly (ie change the profile path for user properties). That way if you have any changes in the future you will have one place to make the changes for all your users

I use advanced installer from Free Windows Installer - MSI Installer Tool Easy to use and has not let me down yet

Make sure your access points have AT LEAST 2 channels difference between them.

Not strictly true. Incremental backups only backup files with the A(archive) attribute on. Full backups backup everything regardless of the A attribute status. When a file is backed up the A attribute is switched off. If a user then opens the same file after backup then the A attribute is set again. Thus the incremental backup knows which files to backup.

Yeah Quake Live (was Quake Zero - no release date as of yet)

No the GUID should be the same on all your machines providing they were all installed with the cd.

Good point GD. A gotcha of using xcalcs is if the users rights are not put in alphabetical order (ie System:F Admin:f User:F) then you may need to go through each folder's properties and allow the system to sort them out. I would suggest using the xcacls.vbs instead. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825751

try c:\windows\system32\MsiExec.exe /X{5DF3D1BB-894E-4DCD-8275-159AC9829B43} /quiet /norestart Instead (change /I for /X) Looks to me that /I will run a wizard that will ask you modify/remove or repair the current install and because we are using the /quiet switch it's just not showing these options. the /X switch (in combination with the quiet switch) should remove the app without any user interaction. My apologies for the confusion

I'm assuming the home folder is the same as the student's logon name ? If so re-direct a DIR to a text file. Import the text file to Excel (put header name in and remove the columns you don't need) You now have a basic data file to with which you can create a mail merge with. Basically you will create a big batch file that will create the share and set the share rights for each student rmtshare syntax is here http://www.ss64.com/nt/rmtshare.html

c:\program files\network associates\virusscan\csscan /UninstallMAS c:\windows\system32\MsiExec.exe /I{5DF3D1BB-894E-4DCD-8275-159AC9829B43} /quiet /norestart The batch file is failing because line 1 needs to be in quotes (the path has spaces in it) Change line 1 so that it now reads "c:\program files\network associates\virusscan\csscan.exe" /UninstallMAS Try running line 2 from Start/Run to check that it does remove Mcafee

rmtshare will then take the existing folder and share it (ie existing folder is e:\Home\Students\Year1\Studentname and share it as \\servername\studentname$ ) Is this what you are looking to do ?

Have you ran gpupdate /force on your test machine ? Sorry for not replying earlier Have you checked the event logs on your test machine for clues as to why each GPO is not being processed as expected ?
