All our clients are x86 here and don't think there is any intention of going down the x64 path just yet.

We're Server 2008 R2 here and have the same icon. Never touched the older DHCP consoles so didn't seem out of place to me

As promised. It's got 1 USB Port, 1 Microphone Port & 1 Headphone Port on the Front and DC in, 2 x USB Port & 1 x Network Port (RJ45) on the back.

We had one on Friday with the Dock. Can't remember what ports but will try to find out tomorrow, providing I remember that I typed this that is....... need sleep

We had a similiar issue a week or so back where 1 student would seemingly lose all mapped drives on one particular machine but be fine elsewhere. Turned out it was something to do with the 'offline files' cache. Disabled the 'offline files' functionality on that machine and it resolved the issue. We used to rebuild the workstations when it happened but now we can just logon as an Admin, disable the offline caching and the issue is resolved. Could be worth checking before you go crawling back to XP

Just found this thread as I've been having the same issue, redirection not applying to 1 user on 1 computer. Have disabled offline files and restarted the machine and voila, it now works! Will be keeping my eye out for the issue again now so I can try the same solution. We're not using DFS Namespaces here either so whilst the solution seemed to be targetted more at that it's worked succesfully for our "access denied" on good old Network Shares.

I changed it on the client I was trying to connect too, assuming the icon runs the .exe from their HDD. Also tried changing it on my own machine to see if that made a difference but no good. So to clarify I changed it on the machine I wanted to VNC too initially, it worked the first time but after it failing on another machine I tried it again on the one that worked and it decided it no longer wanted to. I have a feeling it's just one of those really annoying issues that make no sense! I do love computers sometimes

Thanks for the suggestion mrbios but still no go for us. Have tried changing the CAD file for both myself and colleague to no avail. I've got UAC on my machine set to minimum and it allows the 'send cad' command from a different machine. The weird thing was when I first used your CAD exe on my colleagues machine it worked first time. Got excited and tried it on another colleagues and it didn't so went back to the first machine and it wouldn't work then either.......

We use UltraVNC here and have the same issues. The cad.exe mrbios attached didn't help matters either. The only way I've found we can get the cad working is to enable UAC at it's minimal level but not to it's 'off' level.

I'm assuming you've already done it now but as rad said, if it's the top one there are about 4 nodges above the function keys. I tend to push the keys down and use a flat head screwdriver to pop them in. The keyboard then pops up and you just need to disconnect the ribbon. Just done shove them in too hard else they don't come back out!

Thanks for the script FN-GM, is there any way to add the module type to the script? I've ran the script off and it pulls alot of information off but not the one piece I really could do with, i.e. is it DDR, DDR-2 or DDR-3? I have no scripting knowledge and can't seem to find any way to add it myself. Would appreciate any advice you may have

I couldn't see anything on there for it no. May have been though. I did see information about memory amount and other such stuff but couldn't see anything that stated the actual DDR type. Just having a look on another machine that's running SpiceWorks to see what that has but so far no good.

I've gave LanSweeper another try now. It's picked up a load of the clients which is pretty good but the report builder isn't behaving. Just made a post on their dedicated support site RE the report builder. Hoping to hear back from someone there soon. Thanks again for everyone's help. Here's hoping things work out without me having to stretch my legs

I've just had a look at that and it seems to be focused for individual machines. Would mean loading this up on every machine within the school. I'm looking for a solution to get the information automatically, either via a script or preferably software. Just waiting for the Network Manager to come back now so I can see how he feels about sending out an Agent. Going to be a really big job to go around every machine manually without adding an element of guesswork.

Thanks for everybodies help so far. I only wish we had more of a standard but ours vary from 6 years old to brand new so the specs are VERY different. I've tried the script above, ran it locally on my machine to a network share. It's pulled a lot of information but I can't find what it is I actually need. All I can see RE Memory is DIMM0 and DIMM1 which is the position in the memory bank I would assume. I know for a fact the machine I'm using is DDR-2 though I can't see anything regarding that in there. Had a look at LanSweeper earlier but that didn't go down too well (the report kept pulling off various bits of rubbish, saying there was DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 in alot of machines.... probably me missing something but still, scripting seems the easier option!) and am fairly confident the Network Manager wants to avoid having to send out agents (i.e. OCS Inventory). I've not tried it as a startup script yet as wanted to make sure it's pulling what I need. Am I missing something??

Thanks for both of your help. I'm not too familiar with scripting (other than the good ol' "hello world!") and the Network Managers knowledge of it doesn't stem far enough to implement this type of solution. I like the idea of feeding all the results into a database but I'm not sure how well it would work on our network (RM - CC3). I'm assuming that the lack of mention of one means there are no free alternatives out there Looks like we're going to have to have a long walkaround. Gutted.

Wasn't entirely sure where to put this but figured it's to do with Windows and the Network is running Windows so here's as good a bet as any We're looking to upgrade our systems for Windows 7 & Office 2010 but to do so need to do a LOT of RAM upgrades. The problem is we have some really old machines that use DDR and others that use DDR2. As we don't want to fork out a fortune for one type and find out we need more of the other, we've been looking at ways to scan the network for said information. I've used the Crucial Memory Tool on a number of machines so know it is technically possible to pull that information from within the OS though have had no luck finding a piece of software that will do it for free. And that's the catch. There are suites I've found that do it but they all cost money, and the school isn't prepared to foot the bill to save us leg time (have around 800 or so machines so it's a big job to boot them all up, or open them, to check). I've read a few threads on here regarding auditing suites but none of the one's I've tried seem to be able to pull the memory module info from the clients, only the memory amounts. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well I reissued the certificates today and put them on the exchange box. Exported them with the key for the ISA box and atleast now they are showing up when selecting the OWA Listener. Still no dice as soon as they're activated though. Have spoken with two network engineers so far and both are stumped Have recreated the rules, imported and exported but whatever I try I get stuck at the same hurdle. Does anybody else have any ideas?

I've recently took over the responsibilities of our Network Manager at our school and have been left with the job of sorting out our Firewall machine that's running Server 2003 with ISA 2004 SP2. We've had some new equipment in and exported the rules from the old box to the new box. The issue I'm having is everything works fine so long as our OWA and External MIS rules are not set. I've checked the rules with the old one's and everything is identical. To clarify, I can start the ISA server and it'll run fine, the internet works as it should. As soon as I enable the rules for the OWA and MIS the Firewall service refuses to start. We had an engineer in on the same day and came to the conclusion it's the certificates for the SSL encryption. He tried copying them across (couldn't export the personal key so copies and pasted them from the 'Machine keys' directory) but that still wouldn't work. It'd show as having a personal key installed when looking at the cert details but still no dice when trying to enable them. He figured it was permissions on the keys and so changed them using some kind of command, think it was calcs or something like that. That didn't work and now the same issue is happening on the original box which I'm assuming is to do with the permissions he changed. He eventually gave up 11 hours later but now it's left to me to sort out. I'm going to look into recreating the certificates through the IIS on the relevant servers but wondered if anyone on here would be able to shed some light on how or why this has happened? Appreciate any advice you may have, I even appreciate it if you've read this far in and have nothing to say; least you read it
