Yes but the OPS computers are really expensive and also very hard to get hold of, ive seen NEC ones. On the Sahara TVs ive seen small computers on the side, something like this would be good ? Anyone any experience of these on other Panels and how to mount ? Thanks

Hi Guys We are about to install some Promethean ActivPanel 2 65" screens and was wondering how you guys run them, so you have a dedicated PC / Laptop I was looking at small form factor PCs or even a VESA or similar tiny computer that would bolt to the back of the panel ? What do you guys have for your Touch Panel Screens? Also what brackets have you guys used along with any gas lift wall mounts, ive seen electric lifts but they are very expensive, if you guys have other options or specific makes of brackets both fixed and adjustable that would be helpful... Thanks Scorps

It has been updated, my version says 4.20 2013 ? Surely thats fine for all currently Windows versions ?

Hi All What should I be paying for our school Licensing for Veeam Backup for Hyper V and where's the best place to purchase.? Many Thanks Scorps

Also what is Prefix is this the DOMAINAME/ in the users ad? Also is the ADD to group code missing at the bottom ? Where is the group name added ? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks

I assume the header of the code is missing to include the Group, TargetOU etc in the CSV? Also What should $Target represent and should this be on the CSV ? Do i need StudentID?

How does it know what OU or Group to put the user in ? where do you put the $group variable etc, i cant see it at the top etc.

Ive found a script to do it, just tweaking now. Thanks

Does this work, has anyone tried it ?

Many thanks, ive also found and amended a powershell scripts here which works, and you can tweak what groups have access. Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement $rootfolder = Get-ChildItem -Path \\SERVERNAME\PupilsHomes$\ foreach ($userfolder in $rootfolder) { $userfolder.FullName If (get-qaduser "DOMAINNAME\$userfolder") { Get-Acl $userfolder.FullName | Format-List $acl = Get-Acl $userfolder.FullName $acl.SetAccessRuleProtection($True, $False) $rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("Everyone","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow") $acl.RemoveAccessRuleAll($rule) $rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("System","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow") $acl.AddAccessRule($rule) $rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("Administrators","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow") $acl.AddAccessRule($rule) $rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("Creator Owner","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "InheritOnly", "Allow") $acl.AddAccessRule($rule) $rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($userfolder.Name,"Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow") $acl.AddAccessRule($rule) $acct=New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("DOAMINNAME",$userfolder.name) $acl.SetOwner($acct) Set-Acl $userfolder.FullName $acl Get-Acl $userfolder.FullName | Format-List } } Read-Host "Complete Press ENTER to Close" Press ENTER: :

Thanks, is there anyway you can explain how it works.... cheers

Thanks for the info... can you put the script in a code box... ? Anyone else have some good info. Cheers

Hi all We are starting a fresh at a school, with around 300 users the old server was in a bad way so easier to get new and start over and get rid of the unwanted problems in AD. So obviously all SIDs are different despite logins being the same etc. Old server was 2003 new is 2012. Problem is weve started creating all users and testing, were using folder redirection for all folder and roaming profiles as before, i need to copy all the users data from the old server to the new server, but there is an issue with this: 1. Whats the best method to export the usernames from the old server and reuse them on a new domain, stripping the old domain info such as SIDs etc. 2. The redirected folders are not even created until the user logs in,so the folder structure isnt there to copy until everyone has logged in. Is there something that will log all the users in for me if all passwords are same to begin with. 3. Copying the data across doesn't inherit any permissions, as the permissions are set out as we always do, and only the creator owner permission is on - This folder only, so when they log into the system the folder are created with there permissions, but and Admin copying the files into the folder is the creator so they get the permissions. Whats the best way of doing this. Any help or guidance will be ace, as im sure this isnt the first time someone has done a migration without keeping same domain and security etc. Thanks Scorps

Guys and Gals Were having random issues, where files show on the windows 7 desktop but not folders done, despite browsing to the actual desktop folder in the profile and them being there. When a user creates a folder it shows for a second then dissapears, same when copying etc. New files show as do ones copied and shortcuts too. Really weird problem, has anyone seen this in windows, 7 Cheers Scorpz

Right guys ive cracked it ! This is how to lock them down and this is reliant upon you not wanting to keep any user manually setup libraries. 1. Log on as a user, remove the public folders from all 4 standard Libraries, and untick "show in navigation pane" 2. Copy these 4 XML files to a network location \\server\share\ 3 Use Group policy preferences (File) to: delete any .library-ms from %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries replace \\server\share\(all for four library XML files) to %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries making sure you set the file attribute to read only 4. Set the Policy "Prevent users from adding files to the root of their Users Files folder" What will happen is, when the user logs on all the library files are deleted from the users profile and replaced with the set ones from the server share without the public path (just incase) and then made hidden, when the users goes the libraries they appear empty and when they right click and say New > Library they get a file error due to the policy not allowing new files. So they cannot config the Libraries as they are hidden so relies also on locking down your Folder Options. If you do not have 2008 server, you can do this with batch scripts to delete and copy over the files and then using the attrib command as per below: @echo off %systemdrive% cd\ cd %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries attrib +h Pictures.library-ms attrib +h music.library-ms attrib +h videos.library-ms attrib +h documents.library-ms attrib +h *.library-ms Hope this helps someone out and glad we now have a way of doing this, as it keeps the files intact so programs can access them if needed, as i know WMP12 has issues if you delete or disable the libraries. Cheers Scorps

Hiding them will be ok, trouble is it always throws you into the lib folder when saving in certain apps.

Hi User Can you explian further, im not sure what you mean, do you mean edit the library files first to get them how you want them ie: Pictures.library-ms music.library-ms videos.library-ms documents.library-ms Then copy them over using GPP? This doesnt stop users changing the config for the librarys which means they can mess up alsorts. What i have done is this, create a logon script which hides the librarys, they are still there but huiddens so windows is happy as its needed by some apps. But i still have the option of NEW > Library when right clicking in the Library window. Does any one know how to get rid of this right click action in this windows or remove the option. Heres the script if anyone find it helpful: @echo off %systemdrive% cd\ cd %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries attrib +h Pictures.library-ms attrib +h music.library-ms attrib +h videos.library-ms attrib +h documents.library-ms attrib +h *.library-ms Delete lines as appropriate Cheers Scorps

Ive just found these GUIDs Public DFDF76A2-C82A-4D63-906A-5644AC457385 PublicDesktop C4AA340D-F20F-4863-AFEF-F87EF2E6BA25 PublicDocuments ED4824AF-DCE4-45A8-81E2-FC7965083634 PublicDownloads 3D644C9B-1FB8-4F30-9B45-F670235F79C0 PublicGameTasks DEBF2536-E1A8-4C59-B6A2-414586476AEA PublicMusic 3214FAB5-9757-4298-BB61-92A9DEAA44FF PublicPictures B6EBFB86-6907-413C-9AF7-4FC2ABF07CC5 PublicVideos 2400183A-6185-49FB-A2D8-4A392A602BA3 Going to see if i can Disable them all using the Disable Known Folders GPO, see if that helps. edit: THESE ARE FOR VISTA!

Hi, which one in particular ?, i have hidden all the libraries icons and links in explorer, but when you go to save as the libraries appear and then you can browse to public and also right click select properties and then mess around with the properties of libraries.

Dr CHeese, i was reading an older thread by you, or you contributed, how did you stop users configuries libraries ? As i can right click and start messing with all the libraries as the user ?

I Just tried adding {ED4824AF-DCE4-45A8-81E2-FC7965083634} into Disable Known Folders GPO, tried as a new user and it looked promising, when i opened notepad open/save as it defaulted to desktop no sign of Libraries, but opening IE save as it then showed them, and also in documents from the start menu the libraries are still on there. Ahhhh How does everyone on here do this, as it could be a big problem users saving files to the local disk that are unoticed. Cheers Scorps

Yes ive found that there is very little support to configure them. Anyone have any other methods? Thanks for everyones input so far. Scorps

Thanks can i do this in the the Hide Known Folders GPO ? Does this remove it from the Save as/Open box ? or Just the Explorer side Bar?

Hi Guys Next Problem we are facing is Public /shared folders appearing in the save as and open dialogue on windows 7. Users can save into the Public folders stored on C, we want to remove this or disable them, i read not to delete these as the system uses them, so either: 1. Disable / hide the links 2, Remove the libraries link from the Save as/ opn dialogue all together, so just My Computer (Which have links to Shared drives and homedrive) Anyone know if thjere is any GPOs in 2008R2 or any other methods? Cheers S
