Definitely. We have Delprof on all our local hard drives & a GP which runs a batch file on startup when we want to delete the profiles.

Was in Shrewsbury myself on Saturday. Walked over that bridge for a pint (or was it 2) in the Boathouse, got there just before it lashed down with rain. Bridgenorth yesterday then back home in sunny Doncaster for a evening slurp in the garden

Interesting read. Particularly like Q6 response.

Dont know if this is of any use but, we use the first 4 letters of their Surname + their exam number. This a) Makes their username unique b) Keeps them separated into yeargroups c) Makes them remember their exam number. I understand this wont work for primary school pupils.

Hi All I have a strange phenomenon with printing, not previously experienced. I suspect its a driver issue, I have contacted OKI Tech Support but I am "Waiting for them to call back". I have installed an OKI C301 (unfortunately we have 3 of these) printer on a print server (tried 2008R2 and 2012R2), the port is the IP address of the print device, prints perfectly. Installed the printer on one of the client computers (tried both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7), the port is the IP adress of the print device, prints perfectly. If I change the client port to \\Server\ShareName (which is whats required) it errors after around 15 seconds with "Could not connect shared printer to port". I have tried 3 different drivers in various combinations with the same error. Has anyone else ever experienced this error and, was it fixable. Cheers Paul

Works a treat Steve, cheers.

@Steve21 So would the syntax be: Select name from Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE (name LIKE "%T2-%") OR (name LIKE "%T3-%") OR (name LIKE "%T4-%")

Hi All Is it possible to have an "OR" variable in a WMI filter and, if so, what syntax should be used. My current filter syntax is: Select name from Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE name LIKE "%T2-%" so any computer named T2- applies the filter. I also want computers named T3- and T4- to apply the same filter, can this be done? Paul

Oilstone?

@synaesthesia I'll give it a go but the strange thing is, we never have any problems deploying this way on our Windows 7 machines.

Sorry @synaesthesia I misread, I thought you meant you were deploying the same way as us. Are you running Windows 8/Server 2012 R2?

Just re-read posts @LukeC Yeah, this is for Windows 7/Server 2008 plus we don't get "The Specified port is unknown" @synaesthesia This is the way we deploy these printers, Print Management tool > Right Click Printer > Deploy with group policy Looks like it's a bug in Windows 8/Server 2012 R2.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll look at that hotfix @LukeC It's a computer policy @Grey-gear I'll look into GPP as well @synaesthesia Again, thanks Paul

Not sure if this is the right thread but, here goes. We have a Windows 2012 R2 print server with multiple shared printers for our domain. We deploy these printers via group policies set on OU's in Active Directory using the Print Management tool in Admin Resources. The problem we are getting is, on random computers with random users logged on, the printer is disappearing. Usually a logoff/logon is enough to reconnect the printer, and I have even seen the printer just reappearing in the printers folder without the user doing anything to force this ie, restarting the print service. BTW, restarting the print service does not usually remap the printer. This is only happening on Windows 8 machines. Google doesn't seem to know anything about this, please help before I go mad! Paul

Is the key identifiable? I suspect not.

Did you run Sysprep.exe on the computer you took the image from?

We normaly use Clonezilla to image our small suites if iMacs. No issues at all, works fine.

Reply from MS developer. Hi, I think we can deploy script with set-acl powershell command to take ownership with Administrator of following keys, and set Deny permission on Users: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\Windows.AddMediaServer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\Windows.AddNetworkLocation SET-ACL on registry key SET-ACL on registry key - Brad Rutkowski's Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs It works!!
