  1. Marvin, My apologies, I misinterpreted your question, I thought you were using the EMBC supplied mail provision. Ignore my post
  2. Getting the unlock code from your provider may be harder if it's orange (for whatever reason) but from what I've heard from people who've done it with bloke on market or whatever that it's fairly unimportant who the provider is.
  3. Unless things have changed, EMBC don't allow access via Exchange (MAPI) only via POP/IMAP/OWA. I could be wrong though.
  4. It depends which few you've attached to the network, if the infection is only in a certain area which is still isolated you won't know until you reconnect them. My personal advice would be to just flatten the lot of them with a reinstall after you're absolutely certain the servers are patched up and clean. I can dig you out a script you can run if you reconnect everything and the infection continues; it will check an ip range and report back any potentially infected machines.
  5. Oh, just thought, you'd probably want to have a read at the Exchange 2007 requirements as MS don't recommend it going on a DC. Exchange 2007 System Requirements: Exchange 2007 Help
  6. I'm surprised Exchange runs on something that low spec. But yeah, I'd agree with you, I'd retire Mercury, up the spec of Sun + introduce a second 'Sun' server of the same spec which you can rely on for the future. You could then as you say use Sun as it is for back ups.
  7. hahaha, look how scared Joe looks as the big man hugs him. Fantastic.
  8. There you go, looks like you're all sorted now!
  9. What specs are the current kit?
  10. You're very welcome. Flash Player is no problem as long as you apply for the license here. I recently deployed Tux Maths and Tux Typing at a site using MSI so that's ok too. I've not used Scratch so can't comment there, again depending upon which codecs etc. Should be relatively straight forward I'd imagine. Good luck!
  11. Nah, they were talking about the boat! Loch Ness Monster On Google Earth? | Universe Today
  12. hehe, welcome nonetheless, it's always good to see people keen to help
  13. I think it would be a great idea as long as it's actively maintained. An Appdeploy.com MSI Knowledgebase style section might be useful, targetted at 'common' apps in education, perhaps sharing best practice for those times where you're thrown a bit of software and told it needs to be done within the hour. Of course, can't be sharing MSI's (if copyrighted/etc) but the knowledge behind it could be handy in one place.
  14. Beaten to it I'm afraid Stu. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/jokes-interweb-things/40406-non-technical-friends-relatives-how-help-yourselves.html Still, very funny, and very true. Hope all's well your way?
  15. We'll need to wait and see what happens, everyone knew there would be changes etc and if HP want to buy the hardware side, they must be doing it for a reason. (Of course, the EDS margins are one, but I like to think the quality of the hardware is another). It could be a Tesco Special server for all I mind; I just know that it would have fma to tell me when a memory module is faulty and even telling me which one to replace. That's brilliant in my book.
  16. Hey Adrian, Welcome to Edugeek. Looking at the last time this thread was replied to (3 years ago) I'd think it was resolved by now
  17. Ok, so you'll know the difference between Computer and User Configuration from within the GPO then? In most circumstances I'd imagine you'd want to do this from within the Computer configuration so the applications are all installed prior to the user wishing to use them? Computer Configuration > Software Settings > Software Installation Do you have some software title names in particular that some people here may have had experience with to offer some advice?
  18. Hi, welcome to Edugeek. If you get/make MSI's for the needed software then we can talk about how to allocate them. Do you already have GPO's in place to lockdown/configure your workstations?
  19. Wow, those are some expensive batteries. In my previous life we used to buy a multibay charger and a spare battery for the laptops (in trolleys). That said, we rarely used them as the charge was pretty good and charged up over the lunch break in the trolleys. Cost per battery on those were closer to £50. (quick rm search for mobile one battery).
  20. Have spare batteries?
  21. Do they share the same filtering policy? I've seen sites work at www.blah.com but not img.blah.com which broke the images.
  22. Boredom and/or attract a mate in both ways of interpreting flashing?
  23. The one that eats the most people?
  24. HOW TO: Apply Local Policies to All Users Except Administrators on Windows Server 2003 in a Workgroup Setting For 2003, but might be worth a look?
