I doubt this. They aren't a luxury they provide SIMS support and training to the county as well as all the support work they do in schools.

Netlogon/Sysvol will be replicated across during normal replication. I would run DCPROMO on the old server after you have moved SIMS. It shouldn't make a difference but you know what SIMS is like . Do dhcp last.

You would need to set the permissions on a file using a start up script or via a GPO.

As far as I understand it the device that they are accessing it with must have a valid office licence. Therefore we tell the staff that they must access the remote system using their laptops.

I created some functions for this: Function LevelToPoints(strLevel As String) Dim objDictionary As New Scripting.Dictionary Dim intAnswer As Integer 'Set up level to points Dictionary objDictionary.Add "1", 13 objDictionary.Add "2", 15 objDictionary.Add "2c", 15 objDictionary.Add "2b", 17 objDictionary.Add "2a", 19 objDictionary.Add "3c", 21 objDictionary.Add "3b", 23 objDictionary.Add "3a", 25 objDictionary.Add "4c", 27 objDictionary.Add "4b", 29 objDictionary.Add "4a", 31 objDictionary.Add "5c", 33 objDictionary.Add "5b", 35 objDictionary.Add "5a", 37 objDictionary.Add "6c", 39 objDictionary.Add "6b", 41 objDictionary.Add "6a", 43 objDictionary.Add "7c", 45 objDictionary.Add "7b", 47 objDictionary.Add "7a", 49 objDictionary.Add "8", 51 If objDictionary.Exists(strLevel) Then 'MsgBox intAnswer LevelToPoints = objDictionary.Item(strLevel) End If End Function I then compare these values. You will just need to do the conditional formatting bits.

Thanks I thought that was the case. I just wanted some confirmation.

AB tutor costs go down depending on the amount you buy and you don't have to buy that many to start seeing a discount.

To my great surprise it has been 7 years since I took my last Microsoft exam and I am currently gearing up to update my qualifications. I cant for the life of me remember my Prometric ID (or pearson/vue or whatever it was at the time) how does it link to your MCP ID do you get a code or something to enter after the exam? I cant for the life of me remember.

So is this the FITS manager course or the step above that?

Some may have ini files as well. Try appdeploy.com and search for the titles you want to install.

The way that all these packages may install will potentially all be different. It will depend on what installer they have etc. Office 2007 has its own customisation wizard which can be launched with setup /a (I think). Others may have switches on their setup which will allow silent installation which will be good for installing via script/start up script. Use search terms such as silent installer switches and other such search terms. Other settings may have to be made by adding registry entries or you may have to do some kind of "capture install" using an appropriate MSI authoring tool.

You need to Google Domain and Forest functional levels and that will give you your answers. You will have to do a schema update if you are currently a 2003 site.

I am looking at using this at another site, what software does it interfere with?

That is correct, you can only downgrade to an equivalent version.

I mostly block the most popular search phrases for the latest craze eg a particular game or other such thing. Eventually I will delete these after a month or 2, to keep the amount down as they don't bother searching for them any more.

I use regexes and keywords to help tackle blocking the same content on different sites.

Set them to untagged. You only want to tag the ports you want to participate in more than one VLAN usually the uplink ports.

The thin client set up isn't your problem is your web filtering device. It needs an option to turn on safesearch for google. This doesn't matter if the end client is fat/thin/anorexic.

That one has Simplesi's name all over it

It will likely be the batteries. They look all nice and charged until you actually try to use them and they say not today thank you!

WSUS is pretty flawless for us on 2003 we are upgrading over the summer though.

We have set a didgbox up.

To stop it being used again I would use my favourite anti tamper material............................ Sellotape . Backup, stick it it a case, put a nice big label and date on it and then proceed to wrap in sellotape. People will think twice about trying to get the tape out. As for your other answers I don't know we do a little spring cleaning of the areas for MP3s stupid pics etc then compress and bung on a few DVDs. I know they are not supposed to last forever in storage but best we can do.

As well as making this script in the batch language I would also aim to make this script in VB script as well. They will both do the same thing but this way you can learn 2 different languages at the same time. You can then save it and reference them at a later date. These days most of my scripts are built from copying and pasting from my old scripts as I have usually covered most stuff at one point. AutoIT as already mentioned is a great language as well. I tend to use this mostly for those really awkward software installations that you can't do another way. I also use it when I want a standalone exe.

I prefer robocopy to preserve permissions.
