Just right click the software installation icon in the GPO and select export list.

We have had Access Reading test from Hodder for a few years and it's always a pain every year to get working if we have reinstalled etc. This year it just plain refuses to load at all. We get as far as selecting the birthday and student name and then it seems to freeze every time, on different PCs, clean install, no restrictions, full admin etc etc. Anyone tackling this as well? Any known updates ? There is certainly no real support website for it and a request form has been filled in by the technician on one site, but I wont hold my breath on that one. This is on XP as well so no silly windows 7 issues or anything. Any ideas?

Thats what an RD gateway does pretty much.

You want a remote desktop gateway which will give your users access to RD servers via port 443. This is assuming server 2008 r2 setup. This should satisfy security requirements. We don't use it as we use sun/oracle global desktop provided by the lea but it is what I would do in your situation.

Check other confiker threads for scanning tools.

Hmm I've done some work there before, only 700 on roll, the place seemed a lot bigger than that oh well

I have my Esxi servers running of Pen drives too. I have some spare as well ready to put in if one goes wrong. Some people really don't like the idea of that single point of failure but it works fine for us.

Talking of foot prints and Server 2008 does server core Hyper-V run full server 2008 guests? I assume so? When I tried server core recently I set a core and a full VM installing at the same time, the core was asking me to change the admin password while the full server was still halfway through copying files.

There's a few threads on AB tutor and getting that working across VLANs. You can probably apply that knowledge here.

At a minimum I suppose you need: 2 Servers Both Domain controllers and global catalogue servers and both DFS Name servers. Set up a DFS Name space. DHCP on both servers spitting the scope between then. You will need either one to have a pool big enough to be able to give all clients an IP address if need be. Set the reserved IPs for devices to be the same on both servers. DFS can be used to just point at the NAS or as already mentioned or you can use that to replicate the data to another server as well. If you are thinking along those lines I would make the NAS the preferred target so they go their most of the time as your server probably won't be as fast, unless you get an adequately specced server. Know how to seize FSMO roles if the other server is definately never ever gonna be switched on again. Make sure your clients point to both servers for DNS. There is more and variations on what I have said but that is most of it.

There is NTFSFIX from wisesoft but I have never used it on 2008 R2

Most of the reports that people want are in the main SIMS interface now under the reports menu.

We usually get ours on the disc. One tip I will give you is if you get an error trying to import the licence file, check the length of the file name. Our school name is very long consisting of 2 saints etc etc and the file is named accordingly. If I rename the file to something shorter it mystically works!

That does the same sort of thing but a WMI query looks a bit like this: strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _ & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colFiles = objWMIService. _ ExecQuery("Select * from CIM_DataFile where Extension = 'mp3'") For Each objFile in colFiles Wscript.Echo "File Name: " & objFile.Name & "." & objFile.Extension Wscript.Echo "Path: " & objFile.Path Next They are usually chosen between because of speed. Your example is better in some circumstances than mine although I can't think of a good example.

You want to do a Vbscript with a wmi query looking specifically file the files types or extensions. The queries look a bit like a SQL query. There is probably a nice way to do it in Powershell as well but I don't know that off hand.

I have had the same chassis and module for 3 years and no problems so far. In fact in 3 years none of the HP Procurve gear has gone wrong apart from 1 GBIC.

Works for me.

My guy I use for everything I will pm his details.

Edit: read you post the wrong way round. Yes you will need to pay for SCCM licence but £77 sounds on the higher side to me. Edit 2: Yup we paid £35

I really don't like using a laptop, I use either a full PC for most tasks or I use my IPAD for general browsing and research. Am I the only one who feels like this?

You're just showing off now

I thought you could still get at least 2 admins to log on at once with 2008 R2. Try both of the following: mstsc -v:servername mstsc -admin -v:servername Have one use the first command line (which I assume you are both doing now) and have the other use the one with -admin in as this is the equivalent of the old -console switch. The other alternative is to install the admin tools to your workstation http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=7887

I really don't see any reason not to. Even if you don't want it as a DC any more you can just demote it. I plan to have mine as on a new DC eventually. The only real argument is security and offline root CAs but I think we will get by without that level of security and just have it on a domain joined, always on server.
