Congrats

It would be fairly straight forward using VBS all you would need would be a line of code that checked the number of files in a folder and that folder name would be variable according to the date. Something like objFolder = "c:\MyBasePath\" + date Set objFso = Createobject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" ) Set objFolder = objFso.GetFolder(strFolder) If( Err.Number <> 0 ) Then Exit Function End If n = objFolder.files.count if n = 2 then 'alert code here end if Thats off the top of my head and a quick paste from google. You should make it check the file types as well.

It will hopefully have SNMP. I have a script I used to use for my 8100 Xerox printers but I noticed it works on other printer too including HP etc as the oids must be fairly standard numbers. I will dig it up for you. If it hasn't got snmp then hopefully it has some kind of status page which you will need to write a script to extract the relevant bits from the HTML page. For more information on that, read this thread http://www.edugeek.net/forums/nix/25388-grep-masters-wanted.html.

Try FOG, you know it makes sense

Have you done the section about httpaswd I think that is the command. The user name in the instructions is nagiosadmin.

I use SGD to get on to the network. I then just use our normal tools to work on other machines. Usually using AB Tutor or MSTSC -console.

Anything interesting being added?

What about me? Phone and Email support?

We get it on the Lancs NGFL ever now and again. It is as said, google saying there have been so much traffic from one IP that it is making sure it isnt some automated badness by asking you to fill in the code.

If the above doesn't work then try and expand the environment variable using the correction function then concatenate that to your string.

Upgraded to V6 a while ago but didn't notice some of the nice additions such as policies for printer control and policies to block USB Mass storage etc. Good product at a good price.

Ok it looks like the mailing point is set up. Suppress duplicates only seems to be on the default output part of the reports and filter is in another place with no duplicate suppression to be found. Can you be a bit more specific in the steps to take or point me at a report definition I can look at. Thanks for you patience Chris

We need to send of some letters but only want to send one to each household, so we want to filter out where we have multiple children from the same family etc so only one letter is sent. We want to do this in SIMS any ideas?

It downloads new software from the internet so it will need a live internet connection and you may need to set the proxy address if you have one. You can do that in one of the menus at the top.

So a perfect opportunity to start. You can run it on VMWare to start. There no point in shying away from it as there are lots of good things that are free and extremely helpful on linux and you will find you can get by on a minimal set of commands for most things.

Mail merge to email?

I assume psexec \\servername simsbac.bat is a typo and that you havent tried the command with out the "\" between server name and file?

We have just started using FOG. Once you get your head around it, you wont use anything else.

Would a Schools agreement not be better for that number of PCs for office etc?

Use Nagios. Plenty of threads on here about it. It uses plugins, that in turn uses SNMP to get the information you need.

Great conference, thanks to all involved. I have just got back from the post conference meal, having ducked out early before the drinks were in full flow

I went cold turkey on games nearly a year ago but I am feeling the pull back to them. I would really like to play L4D and just seen Natural Selection 2 oooo. Need a new pc though as mine is a bit long in the tooth now.

I played NS for a while. I never really got it 100% but it was a great game.

If your interested in the full Mame Rom set (90+ gig) or pick which ones you like let me know DB.
