I only noticed because you pointed it out lol

I am going to assume you didnt get anyone interested in the job because the salary was too low. I would try and get your school to readvertise at a better rate. I would check what wages realistically you need to be paying. You say a technician but what you really need is a network manager. This will be an experienced person who will be able to cope with a network and all that comes with it. They will be able to help you take the school in what ever direction you wish on the IT side. Lets be honest what would you rather have, somebody on site who you can call to come fix your problems or someone who you have to ring and they send someone out and charge extras for stuff that falls outside normal terms and conditions. I am suprised there are any schools of a decent size that dont have some form of technical staff. In most cases schools that do have some kind of third party contract also have someone on site to take care of the basics although this usually falls under a low salary wage and a high turnover. Your school needs to take a good long look at what they should be doing to keep upto the standards they are set by the government and how this decision could affect how you you come out after an inspection.

Deleted and banned. You can report a post by clicking on the appropriate icon that way mods and admins will be notified.

Get a script to copy the favorites somewhere first, then delete all contents then copy it back. Not sure how well that would work though. You can also give the server the alias of the old server as well as the setting in registry that allows it to be referenced as that through a share. Ps get your teeth into DFS it will save you this trouble in the future.

Sorry been busy today. Areaviewer was the group someone else was asking about when I wrote the example. In my case it would be teachers and read only. The one on the wiki was originally written by me but the subinacl one works a lot better.

I havent attempted to fix them yet. I was waiting until I had some proper replacements incase I break them .

Theres a few posts about this. See my post at the end of this thread: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/scripts/13757-home-area-permissions.html

Were still in. Got a week and a half until were off!

Bloody k850s grrrr arrrrrgggggg :mad::mad:

What ever will you do with all that time on your hands ? Good luck have fun

Theres always something that needs looking at or someone that needs to talk to me because they need x or y for their department. I handle lots of phone calls every day mostly getting rid of people selling stuff. There is all the admin staff to look after SIMs etc. Planning for upcoming projects. School website, moodle, Phone system painting my office etc etc. I am currently busy going through applications for a new Technician. I have a office to finish wiring later. The list is pretty endless.

you need to work out the full LDAP path you work backwards eg if the ou was students > Year 7 the path would be cn=joe bloggs,ou=year7,ou=students,dc=MyDomain,dc=com

You need to change this line: Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & sDomain & "/" & sUserName & _ ",user") To use an ldap path method like: Set oUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn=" & sUserName & ",ou=students,dc=MyDomain,dc=com") Thats no 100% accurate but you get the idea. You will also need some error trapping incase its not found etc.

At our old house we used to come home to find this: http://www.cphsolutions.f2s.com/fatcat.JPG Ps this is not one of our cats!!!!!!!! As for bringing stuff home on their magnet, one of mine once came home with a spent shotgun cartridge round his neck

I had a look and it looks like it querying the shell folders entry in the registry so I assume if your my docs are redirected properly etc it should go straight to their home dir.

Can you not map the same drive letter to student and staff. Doesnt matter that they are in different locations.

I know its supposed to be in the covering letter which hasnt been passed onto me yet. Scale 3 is 15.3 - 16.3k.

Ok this has been finalised: details can be found here If anyone is interested and has any questions dont hesitate to ring me. I am sure they may be a question or 2 on some aspects of the job description. This is being advertised in the local press starting tommorow. I am just about to upload the timetable now as well. ** Please note my phone is on 60 seconds before answering machine so if you want to leave a message I will get back to you.

Ok for us. Must be the strong wind carrying the radio signal faster than normal ;-)

Geoff what have I told you about double posting just to up your post count

Has anyone else got anything bad to say about the 4650 as compared to the 4600 or are they basically the same printer? I am looking for some new printers this time round and these look like what I am looking for. I am also looking at a HP 3600 for a room with minimal computers. Has anyone got anything they would like to add about these?

I wrote this to check my Phaser 8400s but I have found it seems to work on most printers as the OIDs must be standard. I have used it on the HP printers the dont like the HPJD plugin. I think this is my final version but I am not in a position to check at the mo. #!/usr/bin/perl -w # Author : Chris Hindmarch # Date : 17/10/2006 # Uses SNMP to check a Phaser 8400 status # and determines the status of the printer. if ( !defined $ARGV[0] || !defined $ARGV[1]) { print "Arg 1 = $ARGV[0] Arg 2 = $ARGV[2]"; #print "One or more arguments are missing"; exit 3; } # Set the default status to 3. $mystatus = 3; # Set the community string and host from the arguments # used to call the script $COMMUNITY=$ARGV[0]; $IP=$ARGV[1]; # Get the results of the OID and put it into a variable #$result = `snmpwalk -v1 -c $COMMUNITY $IP 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.1.1.1.5.6.95.84.111.116.97.108`; # Check the first static OID to see if there is a message $result = `snmpwalk -v1 -c $COMMUNITY $IP mib-2.43.16.5.1.2.1.1`; #print "$resultat"; # Use a regex to make sure the data has been returned if ($result =~ m/(= STRING: ")(.*)(")$/) { $mystatus = 0; print "PRINTER OK - ($2)\n"; $result = $2; if ($result =~ m/Ink low/) { $mystatus = 1; } } else # Go get the error message { $result =""; # Get the message from the OID range that contains other messages # if the above OID does not return a valid result. $result = `snmpwalk -v1 -c $COMMUNITY $IP mib-2.43.18.1.1.8.1`; if ($result =~ m/(Job)(.*)(")$/) { print "PRINTER WARNING - ($1$2)\n"; $mystatus = 1; } else { $result =~ m/(= STRING: ")(.*)(")$/; print "CRITICAL - ($2)\n"; $mystatus = 2; } } exit $mystatus;

I get most of my stuff from Inkjet and toners. Oh and guess what the other K850 is doing the same thing now ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad:

Its API is a lot more friendlier as well by the look of it. I dabbled with it a bit and found my way round it fairly easy but the 1.0x stuff is hard going for me and I have only done basic stuff in it.
