Ok I have had a lot of pain with printers lets see if any of my tips help you. I assign printers and then allocate them - that's a two step process. step 1 GPolicy - User - Policies - Windows settings - Printer Connections Set your printer connections as per your needs. step2 GPolicy - User -Preferences - control panel settings - printers Set your printers as per you needs < set one of them a default in here > Then on the LOG OFF SCRIPTS i set a VB script to delete network printers :- ------------------------------------------- On Error Resume Next Const NETWORK = 22 Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Printer") For Each objPrinter in colPrinters If objPrinter.Attributes And NETWORK Then strPrinter = objPrinter.Name objNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection strPrinter End If Next ------------------------------------------- Does this help you in any way ?

Yea, I-Touch and I-Phone are ok. I have that covered - but what about other phones? Steady

I have ISA2006 running and working well. I now need to allow mobile devices access to the internet (ie, staff phones). These phones can see the network and I can get them past the wireless access password - but then the 'page can't be displayed' web page shows up. I can't seem to find out how I can get the user to input their username & password to get past ISA. If I cange the firewall setting to 'allow all users' then the mobile devices work fine. But I want them to authenticate .. Anyone have any ideas please? Steady.

Ok I have recently purchased a shiny new HP Proliant DL360 G6 server. It's running fine and working well. One of the reasons I bought this G6 server wasn't because it was the latest but because it has 'on board' 10Gb network cards. This ties in nicley with the 10Gb backbone I'm building. Anyway, these two 10Gb network cards have RJ45 connectors (same as most cards) but I can't find any 10Gb swithches that have an RJ45 connection. I use Procurve switches as a rule and I have the 2900 series switchwes working well in some locations, but these take a fibre module that runs at 10Gb, and RJ45 slots that run at 1Gb. Anyone know how to get a 10Gb RJ45 connector into a 10Gb switch ? Steady

Nice though isn't it. And the look nice too ... But that is where it stops. You will be very restriced to your educatiomal programs on a MAC - yes you will have the internet and a reall 'flashy' MAC suite but if you have any regular programs you use then you will either have to fork out more money for the MAC versions (if they do them!) or go with out. An in my experience Teachers don't take NO for an answer. I can say you will be blessed with out the dreaded InterNet Explorer but have you thought how you will lock them down? PC skills are not much use on a MAC ... If you have MAC experience then that's great but you will be in the minority and you WILL be expected to train others on tasks that they will already know if they had a PC to use (if I had a penny for every time I have been asked where the right click has gone!). Installing programs, imaging machines recovering files - all the simple tasks on a PC take on a new dimension with MACs. Oh not to mention the fact you can't just fix them, you have to send them away (even with Aplle Care) and that's at your own cost. Better the devil you know ... Steady

What permissions do you have on that movies folder?

Using this in a batch file for several users :- cacls "\\\Home$\Pupils\M\USERNAME\movies" /t /e /g USERNAME:c I'm guessing here but Mr USERNAME is in the M folder in this example.

It sounds like the CACLS command is going to be your friend on this one :- Cacls - Modify Access Control List

This QRES works great for me. I use it on laptops that sometimew sloose their resolution :- Download QRes 1.1 - Command line utility to change screen resolution, color depth and refresh rate - Softpedia

State or Independant there's not too much difference. Little quirks on each side of the fence make the other side look brighter. But the over riding maxim is :- Them that can - DO. Them's that can't - TEACH !!

Hamza, the Crystal rteports viewer is basically asking for some parameters. What report are you trying to view? If I was looking at all the prints that a particular printer did I would need to enter the name of the printer - prety logical. But if you wanted to view the same report with a date window then the date field comes into play. You must put some parameter in at least one field (not necessacerilary all the fields) to start the filtering for your report. Steady.
