You could also just use GPP to write these reg entries every time someone logs on.

I have had issues like this in the past and at the time I made a shortcut to this script available to blank out the proxy settings, if the users ran into issues. ' Initialize Objects Dim LocalClass_StdRegProv: Set LocalClass_StdRegProv = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=impersonate}!//./root/default:StdRegProv") Dim EmptyRecordset: Set EmptyRecordset = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") ' Define Constants Const HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = &H80000000, HKCR = &H80000000 Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001, HKCU = &H80000001 Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002, HKLM = &H80000002 Const HKEY_USERS = &H80000003, HKU = &H80000003 Const HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA = &H80000004, HKPD = &H80000004 Const HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG = &H80000005, HKCC = &H80000005 Const HKEY_DYN_DATA = &H80000006, HKDD = &H80000006 Const MaxCharacters = 255 Const adVarChar = 200 Const adInteger = 3 ' Define Proxy Settings Const ProxyAddress = "" 'Const Port = Dim CurrentSetting: CurrentSetting = LocalClass_StdRegProv.GetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyServer",strValue) WScript.Echo "The current settings are:" & strValue Dim ProxyServer: ProxyServer = ProxyAddress & ":" & Port Return = LocalClass_StdRegProv.SetDWORDValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyEnable", 0) Return = LocalClass_StdRegProv.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyServer", ProxyServer) If Err.Number = 0 And Return = 0 Then WScript.Echo "Internet settings changed.

You would use GPO modelling or results in the Group Policy Management Console.

Indeed and in some cases the wrong cable will turn the UPS off which I have first hand experience of

Have you tried the reset sequence? The port maybe disabled but if you press the reset using the right procedure it usually gives you access for a minute or something if something is disabled etc.

You need to concentrate on trying to get the console cable working as that will allow you to do anything. Are you sure your connection speed is set correctly?

It should automatically be in KMS mode for the client if you leave the setting as you have it. Assuming your KMS server is set up correctly it should activate.

I did it years ago using the MS tools and it worked fine. You could also try a bare metal recovery to a new Hyper-V machine as this should work in theory.

I'm trying to allow the selection of the Polish keyboard layout for non admin users. Spell check is working for Polish but I can't get it to allow the enabling of the keyboard layout. It says it is restricted but I have relaxed all language related system policies and have found nothing in the specific Office 2013 policy sections. I know it's a restriction but I can't for the life of me find the correct settings as I have scoured through everything including RSOP etc. Has anyone got any guidance on this?

It does say it's a preview for feedback etc.

We've use refurbished HP business class desktops for many years now and we rarely have any trouble with any of them.

Thanks, I think after spending ages this morning trailing around plugging Micro Bits in just to let the driver install, this would be a life saver.

Try as I might I couldn't get the driver to preload on our system even though pnputil or dpinst always said it was successful. Very strange as I do use these types of methods for the Nvidia driver etc. The only way I could ever get it to run was to use the setup exe.

Sorry I didn't make it clear in my first post this will be for next year so less worries about a cycle change.

I wasn't sure what I'd see, I suppose if there are no pupils assigned to a class then there would be no missing marks an therefore no missing registers and there would be no issues with any other numbers regarding lesson marks?

Thanks so you're saying I can add it to the end and not bother adjusting the lesson monitor bit or not?

For the timetable this year I have been asked to add a period to the end of the day so certain booster classes etc can be set up and attendance recorded etc. What is the best way to go about this? I'm assuming I can't just add an extra period and use alternative curriculum to define the classes as I would normally. I am just trying to figure out what kind of effect it would have on lesson monitor with only a select few doing this. Can anyone advise on the best way of going about this?

Have you checked the log on the client, that will give you more information.

No Ultimarc is based in the UK if you look on his contact page he asks the Americans to only ring at a sociable hour!

They're only £59 there not sure if that includes VAT though.

The Aimtrack guns use a sensor bar but seem to get mixed reviews, a lot seems to depend what game you are using them with.

When he says trunked he doesn't mean port aggregation. Trunked can be a confusing term as it means two different things on Cisco and HP equipment. We use HP equipment and I have the VLANs tagged on the 3 SSIDs we use. When your talking about edge switches they generally don't need an IP address in each VLAN, but just one in the management VLAN unless you are using some kind of routing on them? If you want to post a full config of two switches or send me them I'd be happy to look at them as I have a similar setup.

You should be able to do it on the same site you get your keys and software from if not the live account associated with it.

Nearly I meant 172.16.54.0 and 172.16.55.0 as the 54 was the next available (172.16.54.0/23). And because as you said:
