  1. Gentoo is the same, grayed out but because it's installed from a package repository once a new version is available it will be installed. EDIT: As he found out below.
  2. What are you seeing on the ground? "Domain unavailable" at user logon or?
  3. Bit of swapsy aroundy may be a good start, try switching out everything to see if you get a pattern. Definitely weird though!
  4. They're already aware. HM Revenue & Customs: HMRC related scam examples
  5. 2-3 days to process something?... can't be HMRC!
  6. I assume you've tried taking one of the working set ups, and switched the monitor from that to one where it doesn't work to help point fault? Also, the mouse can plugged into the sun keyboard, see if that works?
  7. That has to be a record, 3 answers within the same minute.
  8. Hi, Sounds like you're logged onto the machine / have drives mapped to the DC as 'one' user but are using another user to process the username change. Try logging on AND changing the name with the same user account, making sure there aren't any scripts mapping drives to the domain controllers with a 'separate' set of hard coded credentials.
  9. What network card is it?
  10. All the best fella.
  11. It's quite handy for quick stuff like that. If you use set without any arguments/parameters it'll helpfully show you all of the current environment variables.
  12. As maniac said, you could script this quite easily in a login script something along the lines of: SET CLASSTMP=W:\TEMP
  13. Sorry, can you elaborate a bit, I can't make out the intention from your post. Are you trying to set the userprofile environment variable to point somewhere, or are you trying to make a new environment variable? Are you in an AD network?
  14. It'll be an expensive call...
  15. Some places are part of the recruitment process ask whether you were referred by an existing employee (kick backs for the employee) or in some cases a referral by an existing employee gets you a telephone interview beyond paper sifting. Tricky one to tell really..
  16. Is it? Compacting an Access DB on the Fly : MS Access, VB Link checking problem : PHP, check rapidshare links on the fly, automatically check RS links.
  17. Some ideas here http://www.edugeek.net/forums/scripts/39363-script-populate-ad-fields.html
  18. I'd check two things: 1) The length of the group &/ the underscores. 2) Can you confirm/check &/show AD/UC with that relevant layout ie, an ou staff directly under your domain, and an ou under that called groups. (maybe it's the other way around, groups>staff?) Domain>Staff>Groups
  19. I wouldn't touch Tiscali with a barge pole personally.; certainly not until we see what CPW do with them. If you want decent email and webspace, I'd buy it separate from whichever provider you go with as it makes it easier in the future should you choose to move.
  20. I guess they are looking for something not present whilst you're at home, maybe a home drive with preferences or something?
  21. It would have to be plusnet for me if you're not concerned about the speed but want reliability. I'm with virgin and to be honest we don't use the phone so I guess we don't notice the call costs!
  22. You're a good man mate, sponsorship to follow.
  23. Welcome to Edugeek (formally!), Have you had a second opinion on your CV/application style? Witch on here is a mod and she was previously an IT headhunter/recruiter and has been well praised by others on here who've had guidance from her. I can tell you, IT in education is a fun and varied gig, but we'd all stay that. Hope to see more of you
  24. I tend to do mine similarly but rather than IP I use names. So anything that's not forums.mysite.com or moodle.mysite.com lands on the top vhost (mysite.com) so I can have mysite.com/images mysite.com/etc as well as having moodle.mysite.com/images being separate. The logfiles are a pretty good idea too if you're building something and want to review the logs in a localised environment rather than for the whole box.
  25. I must be one of *those* people ... I've ran 64bit Linux for years and put up with the odd driver problems and helped put them right. The other half has ran 64bit Vista since the old beta's and now 64bit W7 RC and not had a single problem, gamer, etc.
