@dhicks - what did you end up using in the end?

Hardware support for the latest thinstation isnt as good. doesnt have sound driver for Acer Revo.

Hi I am looking at replacing our thinstation with LTSP. sofar i have selected LTSP server and set a client machine to boot to pxe with options 66 10.46.220.23 67 pxelinux.0 The client machine gets the address from dhcp, then tries to find the file, but then shows timeout. It is as if it cant find it. any ideas?? nick

Is this one site or multiple sites. Is there any plan forthe school to come off of managed solution?

is there any way you would be able to test the first point above, we are short on storage space so ntfs resizable would be awesome on W7. Why was the service register removed. we used to deploy the client via gp and let them register instead of visiting each machine. thanks for your help fog is an excellent product nick

will windows 7 work with the ntfs resizable option? I take the image up and then i deploy the image, i get inaccessable boot device?? any ideas Why doesnt fog client auto register hosts that are not in the database anymore? thanks for your help nick

Anyone know the release date of fog version 0.30. We are despersate for the new windows 7 support.

in your student GP you dont happen to have set hide and disable all items on the desktop do ya? we did this and had exactly the problem you have described nick

Hi This is not at my school, however it is in the county. IT Technical Lead ask for Gary Cogganwhen enquiring. nick

Hyper v is nowhere near as good as vmwares esx. We use esx and school near us use hyper v. The nm there said moving away from vmware was the worst decision he had ever made.

HI if you need any help installing ubuntu or moodle drop me a PM i have done it numerous times nick

Hi People, thanks for your replys The computer is on the domain, and no homegroup, UAC is off. thanks for your help nick

Hi I have just started rolling windows 7 machines out on our network. My office machine being the first! I know you are supposed to be able tio enable the C$ share by turning file and printer sharing on then adding the reg key LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy as a DWORD with a value of 1. I have tried the above with no luck. A colleague at another school said he did the above changes and it worked great. But not for us. Anyone any ideas as to what more i can do to enable these. (a way with group policy if poss) Thanks peeps nick

it has an adaptec 7899 scsi board (off the top of my head)

Hi people i have a Compaq Proliant ML330 G2 (pentium 3). It has the SCSi on the features card along with the network and monitor. (standard thing for these, i believe) I am trying to install ubuntu server on this box and ubuntu does not detect the hdd's. i have tried all distros from 6.04 up to 10.04. anyone any ideas where to get ubuntu drivers for this box and how to install them to enable ubuntu to pick up hdd and carry on with installation? Also has anyone got ubuntu running on one of these? thanks nick

Hi I have installed windows 7 on one partition (normally it installs on 2, the 100mb one and the normal OS one) I have added software and run fogprep, uploaded image. After image uplioad laptop wont boot, Black screen "windows failed to start................................ Status 0xc000000e The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccesable." any ideas?? this is my first play with win 7 and ntfs resizable, (need ntfs resizable as hdds are different sizes and image is smaller to store with ntfs resiazble) thanks nick

Do you have any instructions on setting up the osx server to lock them down?

Cool, thanks chaps. Do you have any documentation on accomplishing this? Thanks Nick

Hi I have some macs, we use them locally at the mOment, however I would like to put them on the domain so users can use windows shares and windows log on details. I know I need an Od mac server to do this but that's all I know. I would be grateful if someone could explain how to do this from the beginning. Thank you Sorry to sound a little dim:) Nick

Hi I am looking at remote file access from home. Does any one have any ideas. A google search was not very helpful. I want staff to be able to access their h and g drives from home. I do NOT want remote access involving terminal services. free/opensource would be best and linux even better. thanks nick

Thanks. Will try that on monday.

Yes i have tried the fog prep, i am not sure what that does though? thanks though

Hi people We are using fog 0.29 with xp at the moment, We tried the 0.29 client with xp but it would not join to the domain so we use the 0.28 client and all is good. We are currently looking at windows 7, i have created an image and installed fog client 0.29. The hostname changes but no domain join happens, do i need netdom installed for windows 7. (i think i read somewhere that with fog client 0.29 netdom was not required.) Any ideas? Thanks for your help nick

hi I have seen some software which will display the code of conduct on the users screen until they click accept. If you click decline it will log you off. I have a piece of software that will do this every time the user logs on,this is very annoying. I am looking for a program that will do this once a term or automatically on a schedule. I HAVE TRIED AUP INFORMANT BY BIZZELL. IT WILL NOT RUN ON TERMINAL SERVICES. Does anyone know what does this, and will work on terminal services? Preferably free!? thanks nick
