tbh i'd say if the school hasn't organised the handover for you, dont worry about it. you can bet if the janitor left they'd have him show the new guy the ropes before he desserted. Hand the admin password and your keys to the smt in a sealed envelope on the day you leave and walk away.

hello guys, sorry bout that! , It seems to be set to an american keyboard. question is how the heck did that happen and can i change it in GPO.
-
I've been having problems with the keyboard in office 2007. the machine is imaged from another one that works fine, and office was installed using a mst so shoudl be the same. bascially the problem is as below When I type " I am getting the @ sign and visa vers, also when I type £ I am getting #, whilst when I type # I get the \ key its fine as an admin, but as other users we get the above senario.

prob a silly question but here goes. I've made an iso image of a dvd I've got . I'm not sure of the format of said DVD. I've tried to burn the image onto a known DVD+RW and it asks for a DVD- . I've then tried to burn the image back onto the dvd (which i know is a rw) and it again asks for aa DVD+rw. can anyone fill me in on what i'm missing!.

i've got 25 5150s and 25 5750;s. Both seem decent machines, quiet too, the lights are noiser than the machines!

as someone who made the same transition i can heartly recommend it. Working with computers and people of a certain education is much nicer than working with people who are probably horrible ( 90% were when i left) and having a client base that feels free to abuse you!. My recommendation is to find a job where they embrace your service skills and are willing to develop your skills. I was lucky to find a job where they threw me in at the deep end and supported me while i found my feet. You will probably have to take a small pay cut for a few years, but longer term the money is better and the job is much more rewarding. good luck! oh, and i did A+, N+, ms 270. Soon i'll do ccna and the rest of the mcsa.

And what about those who work in house treating it as a business system? If anything, experience shows managed services suck I would possibly suggest that in a smaller private school where the provision for network support is limited to one person that a managed service is benefical. Also a managed service gives you guaranted uptime as there are more resources available when you really need them and penalty clauses to ensure that the work is completed as soon as possible.
-
In my experience privates schools treat networks as a business system and so spend money on a managed solution rather than trying to do it inhouse.

you'll find the printer one nice and easy now tbh . i think the computer deletes the shares when you log off. pass on outlook!.

quotes are only used to hide spaces in address from dos ( dos doens't like spaces). net use x: /d net use y: /d net use z: /d net use X: "\\FN-DC-02\Network Drives\Enterprise" net use Y: "\\FN-DC-01\Network Drives\Shared Documents" net use Z: \\ST0\Media and is my pleasure, this website got me through the first year in my job so i'm only to glad to be helping others!
-
put the delete (net use u: /d) first, then add the new drives. not sure why to be honest, the only use i can think of is when the system stands by and you need to run the logon script to refresh it when it wakes.
-
try running it as a file on your computer, see if that works. i'd bet x is a spelling mistake, and i think y needs brackets as dos doens't like spaces in address's. net use Y: "\\FN-DC-01\Network Drives\Shared Documents" you'll also need to use "net use u: /d" to delete each mapped drive as u logon, so delete the drives, then add the new drives, even if theyre the same.
-
not sure i do either . bascially heres a list of things to do 1. download cntprinter file thingy, place it as a folder into your netlogon share of your server. \\servername\netlogon. 2.create a bat file, call it students.bat 3. copy code into bat file --- rEM Mapping printers via an enviromental variable \\servername\NETLOGON\CON2PRT /F IF %ROOM% == SENIORICT \\severname\netlogon\CON2PRT /CD \\Servername\lanierlp025 --- 4.change servername\lanierlp025 to a name of a shared printer on your network, save to netlogon folder 5.assign bat file to user as a logon script. ( as its in netlogon you can address just the file name eg NOT \\server\netlogon\students.bat but students.bat 6.set an environment variable on your pc , call it room, and set value to SENIORICT. run script on your pc.
-
yup, you can assign logon scripts to indivudal users, or do it in batches ( ie select a few users). below is the vbs to set a variable on a machine. ------------------------------ strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set objVariable = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Environment").SpawnInstance_ objVariable.name = "ROOM" objVariable.UserName = "" objVariable.VariableValue = "INEEDS" objVariable.Put_ ---------------------- room is the varibale name, in INEEDS in this case is the variable. so to make it work. 1. make logon script, save it to the netlogon file of your server. 2. assign script to user 3. assign variable to computer. 4. sit back and enjoy!. below is a test script rEM Mapping printers via an enviromental variable \\servername\NETLOGON\CON2PRT /F IF %ROOM% == SENIORICT \\severname\netlogon\CON2PRT /CD \\Servername\lanierlp025

http://www.ss64.com/nt/con2prt.html just stick an environment variable on each machine(can also be scripted) then it allows you to choose printers based on machine, you can also create a different script for groups, so admin get a different list to students, net use z: /d net use p: \\servername\public should cover your mapped drives. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/all.mspx generic good site for scripts, needs a little twiddling, but shows u what can be done

try admin templates > start menu and taskbar>remove common program groups from start menu

I think Milton Park pretends to be in abingdon when it suits it
-
Its not abingdon, it's milton park, train to didcot will do the trick nicely

you did the decent thing i test drove a saxo vts and lost the rear end on a roundabout, was like driving a go kart!. Difference between french cars and german cars in terms of brakes and clutch are huge!
