    Hello! We recently had our 2008 R2 server migrated to 2016 and it's brought over a few issues I need help with if possible, in relation to folder permissions for home shares. Users have lost access to their Home shares. I've had a look and the security permissions don't show their name anywhere in the properties of the home share folders on the server. The name of the folder is the same as their username. In AD I have put in \\server\userdata$\users\%USERNAME% on an individual user in properties and it grants them full permission as needed following a dialogue if i would like to grant them access. What I want to know is - how do I do that for multiple users at once? I've done it in AD and it comes back saying folder already exists but doesn't ask about granting permissions, so the path changes to their username in properties fine but doesn't set permissions on the folder. Is there a new way on 2016 that just works? All help massively appreciated!

    RESULT! SOLVED! Using that tool - thankyou - I found a rogue. Turned out to be a bridged network adapter. Lesson - never dridge a wireless and wired adapter ever again.

    It looks like I might but how do I track them down? I'm not sure what I'm looking at with the results. I can see our normal DHCP server saying it's giving out IP's and I can see another IP that i've never seen before dishing out IP's, so there could well be a rogue.

    Hello. We are suddenly getting a load of BAD_ADDRESS in our DHCP leases, one of which is also our OSX Server (which isn't dishing out IP's so we can rule that one out) and also printing problems and intermittent internet. There are also the odd machines getting the yellow exclamation mark on the network connection with 'no internet available'. Any advice guys? It seems to have started happening since updating the server but I'm not 100% it's related and just one of those annoying coincidences.

My friend and I have made a brand new cartoon for YouTube to help with things like Making Friends, Brushing Your Teeth and other topics we felt people could benefit from, particularly children. It's all done with a Northern twist. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvhJ8k649-jXOrxuExlHZIQ/ Please check it out, subscribe and try and get the theme tune out of your head... lol

    Hi. I have two windows 8.1 machines suddenly not accepting group policy or mapping shares. I can ping external websites and ping the server. I'm at my wits end. Everything was fine until yesterday and now this. Any help available? So far I have removed and rejoined domain, deleted dns and dhcp records and uninstalled and reinstalled network adapter. Gpupdate brings back failed due to lack of network connectivity to a domain controller.

    Hello. I have a bit of an issue that needs pinpointing and I want to know if there is any free software that lets me monitor traffic of individual machines on our network? Thanks in advance.

    Hello! We have a PC that won't play audio clips when they are clicked. The Activ player comes up but it doesn't do anything. Any ideas? The flipchart in question works on other machines.

    Hello. We are a primary school in Nelson, Lancashire and with the budget cuts we are looking for information or even direct help, on how to gain sponsorship to provide 18 PC's for our ICT Suite that are capable of running Minecraft. Our budget won't allow for us to buy the machines. The machines we have in our ICT suite don't have the ability to be upgraded with better graphics cards due to their age and form factor otherwise we may have been able to do that. Sponsorship or donations are MOST welcome! Please help any way you can.

    So sorry about the lack of reply here's the solution! Copy the web link to the desktop, see if you can open it. If it doesn't open, they believe you have lost the file association with that file. Right click on the file and select "Open with", pick the web browser and this should fix the issue. ******************

    This looks spot on but it's still connecting to their servers. Any ideas?
  15. marsdenprimary
    Yeah I've been trying to give this a go but it isn't working - just fails to connect to the YouTube streaming server. Could it be a firewall issue do you think?

    I'll take a look at this thanks!

    Haha oh how I love the consistency of teaching staff... I've been send a bulk of Publisher files now. Any idea how I could convert those?? I've tried changing the Word.Application to Publisher.Application and swapped out anywhere it says 'word' for 'publisher' but it doesn't seem to be working.

    You're a legend! I found around the same time the code for creating a folder in the same location too. So the script now creates the PDF folder, converts the files and puts them in there! $documents_path = $PSScriptRoot New-Item PDF -type directory $word_app = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application # This filter will find .doc as well as .docx documents Get-ChildItem -Path $documents_path -Filter *.doc? | ForEach-Object { $document = $word_app.Documents.Open($_.FullName) $pdf_filename = "$($_.DirectoryName)\PDF\$($_.BaseName).pdf" $document.SaveAs([ref] $pdf_filename, [ref] 17) $document.Close() } $word_app.Quit()

    Haha I replied before I saw your edit - tried it with the extra bit (including creating the directory BEFORE running the script) and it works. It puts the files into a different directory at least which is what I was after so thanks for that! All I need to know now is possibly how to put the script into a folder and when I run it from there - it automatically does all that.

    That doesn't seem to work but thanks for the help!

    Hello! I'm converting documents to PDF using a script I found - my knowledge of Powershell is very limited. I want to know how to make the script target multiple folders and then copy the converted PDF files into a folder WITHIN the one with the original word documents in and name it PDF or CONVERTED or something similar. Here's the script: $documents_path = 'c:\PDF-Convert\Science\' $word_app = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application # This filter will find .doc as well as .docx documents Get-ChildItem -Path $documents_path -Filter *.doc? | ForEach-Object { $document = $word_app.Documents.Open($_.FullName) $pdf_filename = "$($_.DirectoryName)\$($_.BaseName).pdf" $document.SaveAs([ref] $pdf_filename, [ref] 17) $document.Close() } $word_app.Quit()
