Duly noted. I think the idea from Serving (it would be better to setup a local user with a simple finder...) will be worth looking into.

I didn't say earlier, the school are using Win 2008 R2 with XP clients and kids log on with no passwords. Pretty sure I've set all the password policies to disabled or zero as required, however I'll have a closer look at the Default Domain Policy and double check the security settings in case I've missed something. I'm due on site on Thursday and I'll report back. Thanks so far.

Hi there, I have a primary school that has a single Mac machine running OSX 10.4. My Apple skills are pretty limited but I have managed to bind it to Active Directory. It can retrieve the users from AD and accounts can log in easy enough if they are password protected. However none of the kids have passwords here and the head wishes it to remain that way. (Most are infants) Basically I can't get the kids to log on, if I give them a password it works fine otherwise it refuses. I feel I am missing something fairly simple and would be grateful for some help. Regards Graham

I am getting conflicting reports from companies on how many servers and at what spec we require to have vSphere with VMView and vCenter to support 300 clients with a 10TB SAN. We are looking at using VDI to the clients. Main concern is getting a bare minimum spec to do the job resulting in poor performance. Would anyone have just a rough idea on the server side needed on this vague question and roughly the cost involved.
