The dedicated hyper v is dedicated to that use so you won't be able to add components to it like you would if you use server core and install the hyper v role.

It is just the barebones like you say so it's just server core with hyper v in a custom package.

If you want to use MDT then you should of: 1. Setup MDT and all its pre requisites. 2. Imported a Windows 7 Disc/source so it can use this for installs and making the boot images. 3. Updated the deployment share which will have created the boot images in your deployment share. 4. Set up a standard capture task. 5. Gone to WDS and imported a new boot image and browsed to the boot images on the deployment share. 6. Loaded up your machine ready for capture and browsed to the deployment share and ran litetouch.wsf 7. Machine will have been sysprepped and captured. 8. Created an install sequence in MDT and point to your newly captured image. 9. Boot of your image from WDS and select your install task. That's pretty much it. Since you have already captured your image you should be able to add it the same way you add the OS image in step 2 and then do step 8 and 9.

Which image did you put into WDS the captured image (The OS) or the boot image that MDT has made? It sounds like you have put the captured image into WDS and you need to put the normal boot image into WDS. How did you capture the image in the first place?

You mention WDS and task sequence. Are you using WDS on it's own or are you using MDT/SCCM as well?

Have you tried a FQDN for the server name in the path ? I know you said other stuff is working but it seems to like the FQDN for somethings.

I have 2 HP Microservers 8 gig ram extra NIC running a hyper-v failover cluster. I use a QNAP box for backup and for ISCSI targets. Not a cheap setup but a lot easier to work with than a virtual setup within a virtual setup.

I have a Bandit 1200 and a Kawasaki ZR7-S . I don't use mine for commuting as my wife works at the same school so ......

Spiceworks here.

They will want to know how all this new technology will aid or enhance teaching and learning as well as any other things like money saving and flexibility using stuff ike VDI etc.

That was what I was going to say as well.

Put a trust between the forests and use ADMT to migrate users over. I am doing similar so I have the same user in each domain so domain1/user1, domain2/user1. The passwords have been transferred over so the only issue I am going to have is people who have changed their passwords before I switch over but this can probably be handled by re importing them at a better time which is made easy if you get your users into groups that reflect the structure you want to use eg staff, teachers, year7 etc.

You need to decide or find out what an acceptable baseline machine is eg minimum dual core 3 gig ram, hd size or hd type. This may vary from area to area eg a machine might be acceptable in a general use area but may need more graphics power in another area so just a graphics upgrade. You need to look at costings of replacement vs upgrade and take other factors into account such as do you want everything under warranty or will you have spares ready to swop out. All this maybe past your remit but I would at least get a comprehensive list of all your computers and filter out all the ones that don't meet the set criteria.

It only takes one section to pull down the whole score doesn't it? Are you sure you want to use that as a basis for your audit ? For example the graphics score might pull everything down but the graphics are most likely to be fine for most of the things . I would use spice works and use it to run some reports.

Function CellText(strIn As String) As String CellText = Left(strIn, Len(strIn) - 2) End Function Sub CleanUpTables() Dim oTbl As Table Dim r As Row Dim RowContents As String For Each oTbl In ActiveDocument.Tables For Each oRow In oTbl.Rows If CellText(oRow.Cells(1).Range.Text) = "" And CellText(oRow.Cells(2).Range.Text) = "" Then oRow.Delete End If Next Next End Sub Here is the missing code.This is it in full now.

Sorry I just noticed the procedure you were on about, I will dig it out tomorrow.

You need to loose the last and first line if you are making a new macro and putting it in.

Sorry I forgot about this try something like Sub CleanUpTables() Dim oTbl As Table Dim r As Row Dim RowContents As String For Each oTbl In ActiveDocument.Tables For Each oRow In oTbl.Rows If CellText(oRow.Cells(1).Range.Text) = "" And CellText(oRow.Cells(2).Range.Text) = "" Then oRow.Delete End If Next Next End Sub That should go through every table and if 2 cells are empty it will delete the row. You can adjust the if statement to suit your needs.

I have some macros I wrote to do various jobs on rows of tables. I'm sure they could be altered for you requirements. I will have a look tomorrow if nobody else posts anything.

I managed to get one of the sites but it just says register your interest!

I am just delving into PaperCut scripting as I want to do the following. Automatically charge departments for printing at certain times eg Period 1 charge IT, Period 2 charge Tech. These would be for timetabled lessons. Then I will make bookable periods so the jobs are held and the Teacher will have to use the print release station and that is charged to that particular department. Looking at the sample scripts I don't see any problems writing the script although I can see the working out of the periods becoming very cumbersome with a lot of IF/Case statements etc. I was just wondering if anyone had any examples already that might be done in a fairly neat and compact way, other than the way I have formulated in my head already. Cheers ChrisH

Congrats

Just do what I did and marry a Food Tech Teacher and enjoy all the wonderful food

You need to decide whether or not you want to use the WDS methods or the MDT (Litetouch) Methods. If you want to use use MDT which I strongly recommend, you need to import the boot image from your deployment share into wds and use that. You then need to make sure you have imported your custom image and make an install task for it under MDT.
