I think that you get this if you've assigned "Send On Behalf Of" rights to the mailbox. If you go to the generic account in ADUC and go to the Exchange Advanced/Mailbox Rights and grant the user Full Access - I think they can send without that info coming up.

Ditto this for us - allowing free access to install just lead to tons of malware - so its either/or now - though we run Citrix - so they can get to all the school stuff from home - but safely...

I thought standard "shutdown" choked if the PC was running a screensaver - which would make it a bit tricky?

What do you do for IWBs and multimedia stuff - or don't you do any?

I believe it has more efficient display drivers, so you get better response of audio & visual - it also has some fancy back end stuff to load balance over multiple servers - so you can take one (of several) servers offline and fix it or fiddle with it - and the users just notice a small degradation of service, then you can join it back in.

This scheduled batch file does it for us echo "Starting PC Shutdown script" > "C:\Winapps\Logoffs\shutdown.log" echo "Starting LimitLogon clearout" >> "C:\Winapps\Logoffs\shutdown.log" "C:\Program Files\LimitLogin\llogincmd.exe" /c echo "Starting PC Shutdown" >> "C:\Winapps\Logoffs\shutdown.log" C:\winapps\logoffs\PSShutdown.exe -c -k @PCList.txt -f -t 30 >> C:\Winapps\Logoffs\shutdown.log echo "Completed" >> "C:\Winapps\Logoffs\shutdown.log" You just need psshutdown (free download)

Cheap prices - but when I had a problem, it was a 'mare getting it sorted. As stated - the sales people can be irritatingly pushy, specially when you've asked them not to call and their website monitors your actions - so if you have a look on there at prices - minutes later you get a phonecall about it. I've ceased to use them, even though the prices were good.

There are loads on eBay Red Laser Pointer+ Wireless Remote PowerPoint on eBay, also, PC Remote Controls, Input Devices, Computing (end time 08-Sep-08 16:39:31 BST) at around a fiver including shipping - they come with a plug in USB receiver that didn't need any drivers on our PCs.

I take it you're not doing the ALANs stuff then

Top 21 singles or albums?

Yeah - I concur - GenControl is top for some quick & dirty remote control, though something like ABTutor installed across the school is more functional, if you've got some cash - and its great for the teachers.

I think you've misunderstood - myself and my colleagues tried to get management and leadership roles, but didn't get considered, we've taken techie roles because we need an income, not because we are desperate to stay "technical". Also you seem to make the same irritating assumptions that firms do - in that what I did 20 odd years ago is what I want to do now - I was Unix/Xenix, then Netware 3, 4 & 5 but now server 2003 etc - I can do the techie side, but I'd prefer something better paid and frankly more interesting - after the 15th or 16th OS version, it all becomes a bit tedious. Don't know why you've a big downer on accountants & lawyers - they are well paid professions that are generally well regarded within the corporate world. Not all accountancy work is boring, and a lot of legal work can be fascinating, and can be very well remunerated. As I say - at least there is a career structure to work around - whereas in IT - I don't think there is, as such.

*smile* but when I look around at friends & colleagues, if you're not directly in an ICT company, the chances are that you'll end up being managed by an accountant as part of corporate services. Very few ICT people manage to break through to senior management, and its not because of ability, but simply that the people who control the cash control the firm, and IT people are perceived as "difficult", mainly, I suspect, because our work needs things to be "right", rather than just "OK". If you want a career, rather than a job - unless you're in an IT firm, it isn't going to happen - which I think is worth considering, if you're in it for the long haul.

I love Opera - but have noticed the last couple of versions have been a bit annoying with some long waits as it seems to be dealing with caching or something.

Torledo - While I'd agree that at 35 - you are probably OK to get an IT job - certainly at over 45 - it becomes very difficult to move on. Personally at 49, I rarely get even interviews anymore, and my CV is pretty good, plenty of experience in quite high powered roles. I share an office with another guy with 15 years of IT experience in manufacturing and until recently another with 30 years of project management and software development & testing in finance & banking. All of us had been out of work for around a year before we had scaled back our job searches to this sort of work. While the job is quite fun, the remuneration sucks given the level of responsibility you have to assume on a fairly limited budget. When kids come and ask about going into IT, I usually tell them to think about training as accountants or lawyers, where experience is seen as a positive thing, rather than a limiting factor, as it is in IT, where knowledge of older systems is seen as a hinderance to learning the latest whizz-bang, rather than a useful adjunct.

Thanks for that - can you point me to an easy guide to mounting shares under this? Thanks a lot.

Hi - I'm thinking of having a play with MythTV - anyone here use it? Before I go to the trouble of setting it up - does anyone know if you can do this - I want the MythTV box in the living room near the TV, but I have a big media server with music and films on elsewhere, I want to stream the video & sound from my existing server to the MythTV box. A lot of documentation shows distributing from the MythTV box to others, but I want to do it the other way round - is there software I have to install, or will it be able to see a share and grab the files directly from there? Any help gladly listened to. Cheers

Has anyone jumped from FMS to a "standard" package like Sage? I'd dearly like to drop FMS - not sure if there are potential problems though.

GenControl would be good.

Unless the STM kicks in between 10am and 9pm, when you get 5mb...grrrrrr:mad:

We've just ordered some Tosh's so glad to hear they're good - they are offering a fab warranty at the moment - 3 years and if it breaks - you get it repaired and your money back - must be worth a go!

Personally I have found dealing with Dell extremely irritating - slow to come back with quotes, and disorganised (had several emails saying that the order would be with me in 7 -10 days after it had turned up unannounced. I'd sooner pay a few more quid and get it from a reliable reseller.

100 new PCs, 25 laptops, biometrics, cashless, and hopefully have a holiday!

We see about 3meg from each camera - which is quite heavy when theres a lot of them
