Hi Folks! Bit of a problem and it's driving crazy :/ I want to change the owner of a public folder as the old user no longer works here wo created it. Does anyone know how to transfer ownership of this? We are using Exchange 2007. Stu

Morning Folks, Seem to have become stuck trying to update our existing build images. We have for images that could do with the usual stuff updating and a few changes. To be honest I don't know how to update them so have been guessing :/ I have rebuilt a machine with one of the images, as we normally do, made the changes, ran SysPrep and then in both MDT and WDS created a variety of task sequences to try and capture the image. I have had success with WDS capting the image, but then when I reploy to another machine I get errors, some relating to panther files etc. Is there a guide or a way in which we can update our images? Thanks in anticipation Stu

I used to have that on the last network, but this network has been setup on a share. Would you use GPO to manage the updates? Stu

Didn't even think of that, thank you pete! Stu

Morning Folks, Hoping this is a quick one. We basically redirect staff desktops to a shared from the server. When the users are at home the icons just go grey and have a cross next to them. Is there anyway we can cache the desktop redirect on the laptop to prevent this from happening. Regards Stu

Thats basically what I want to do, collect all of the videos up, upload them to the website and then staff can search for them as they need them. Regards Stuart

Thanks for the prompt replies. I would host this internally and only allow access to the videos from inside the network. I know the infrastrucutre would support this. Regards Stuart

Hi Folks, Seems we have been gathering a very large collection of video files over the years on the shared area, and it has gotten a little messy. I was looking for some form of video storage solution which would be online like a mini YouTube where we could upload and manage the videos, moving the off the shared area and onto this. We can create a new server instantly if we can find the right solution. Only limitiations are that, as usual, there is no money. Open Source solutions anyone? Thanks Stuart

My bad, sorry. I'll finish reading the article! Glad it's Friday...

Good Morning Folks, Thanks for the replies. We use public calendars for a vairety of stuff including room bookings etc, but we ideally would like to put our internal school calendar online. I have made a public calendar and tried but it required you to authenticate, and we don't want that Regards Stuart

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies. I have found displayNamePrintable in AD. I have changes this value to what I would like my external emails display name to be, but doesn't see to have done the trick. Have I missed something? Regards Stuart

Hi, Thank you for the reply. That is exactly what I want to achieve! However in AD I cannot see the SimpleDisplayName We are running Exchange 2007 with Windows Server 2008 OS. Regards Stu

Hi Folks, Me again! Is it possible to change your display name on external email? Currently we have ours set as Surname Initial. However my surname always leads to suppliers calling for the wrong person, or my email responses starting with my surname I don't want to change it for all staff, nor change mine so it sticks out like a sore thumb in the address book. Regards, Stu

Hi Folks, Hoping someone can help. Basically in our school we have quite a few calendars floating around, include a spreadsheet and a google calendar, and also an exchange calendar. I was wondering if it was possible to have an exchange calendar that can be publically seen, without users having to login, where I can embed it onto the school website, This way we could get rid of the google calendar and the spreadsheet. Trying to make people work smarter... Regards, Stu

Hi Folks, Having a mass clear out this week. I want to be able to have a script at the root of the home directories that creates directories and sets permissions on the folder so that the students cannot delete them. I have used the following code to create the structure in the home areas: for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\Art" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\Beliefs and Values" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\Music" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\Technology" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\History" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\English" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\Drama" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\Media" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\PE" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\MFL" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\Geography" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\Science" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\Maths" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Year 7\ICT" for /d %%x in (*) do mkdir "%%x\Whole School" I was thinking of using SetACL.exe for permissions, but dont know how. Does anyone have any ideas as to what permission I would need to set. Regards Stuart
