Visual Basic - Changing a command with manual text input
mac_shinobi replied to gtg93's topic in Coding
Not sure if this is correct but maybe create a function that you can pass parameters to so as to add the printer(s) depending on the value the user selects from the drop down PrintServerOne Printer_One Printer_Two Printer_Three PrintServerTwo Printer_Four Printer_Five Printer_Six Dim strSvrName As String Function InstallPrinter(byval strServer, byVal strShareName) 'Code to install / add the printer depending on selection made End Function Maybe use a select case so if they select printers that are on one print server it will know that they are on this print server versus if they select another printer which is on a different print server so something along the lines of Select Case cboSelection.Value Case 1 or 2 or 3: strSvrName = "PrintServer_One" InstallPrinter(strSvrName, cboSelection.Value) Case 4 or 5 or 6: strSvrName = "PrintServer_Two" InstallPrinter(strSvrName, cboSelection.Value) Case Else: MsgBox "Error message or wrong selection made etc" End Select With the 2nd parameter you may have to do a bit more to translate the selected item into the actual printer share name before you can call the function ?? I suppose it depends on how you are installing the printers on there machines though as to how you would get it to add or install the printer -
Visual Basic - Changing a command with manual text input
mac_shinobi replied to gtg93's topic in Coding
I meant something similar to but neater than the below Button 1 would be renamed to Add Printer and the drop down would be pre populated with all the possible printers whether this is all the printers they can add around the school or just printers in the area they are currently at etc ?? Failing that if they select which printer they want to add you could just get your vba to open an explorer window to the relevant print server and they just double click on the printer they want to install which if setup correctly should push / install the drivers onto the client and add the printer ? If its Art Printer on print server FNPART01 then just a unc path to \\FNPART01 ..... -

How come printers aren't done via GPO or GPP ?? -

To try and eliminate user input error and as you will know what printers are on what servers etc - surely it would be better to use drop down boxes to select which printer they want to add and from there you could add the relevant printer ( should know which printer is on which server so they shouldn't need to type the server name etc ) ?? Drop down gets populated with all the printers in that department or all the possible printers they can add and they click on the add button which then adds the printer they had or have selected from said drop down menu ? -
I haven't played that game for a while but the Jungle and that 006 level are quite easy, the jungle one is just a case of knowing which direction to go and the 006 one you have to use a certain gun like a Magnum and shoot him in the head ( a few times ) whilst he is at the bottom of that bridge Golden Eye 007 Cheats for the N64 The Cradle in under 2 minutes and 15 seconds, basically have to get 006 to run to the bottom of the bridge ( either side ) and keep dealing out head shots ( by standing on one side of the top bit and zooming in ) Jungle : The Cradle : The Jungle level I used to wield two assault rifles and keep zooming in on the drone guns to make them blow up and then kill the people or visa versa

I can complete that game on medium setting, it was most of the cheats that I couldn't get like invincibility, Infinite ammo I could get, the golden gun I could get Even got to the aztec level and the last level where you had to kill 006 running around that satellite dish thing (whatever that was called )

^^^^^ Exactly this !!!!! ^^^^^^^^ -
You laugh about that but had one support call a few years back where a student at a school decided it was a good idea to put Sushi / raw food through a copier's Fuser / Fusing unit to see if it would / could cook the food and it got jammed in there and knackered the copier up. Not to mention all the toner and whatever else - not very edible afterwards !!

Or the opposite so that the IPv4 TCP/IP Settings are set to a static ip address on the wrong subnet mask etc and the issue being that no one can logon to the pc with the error message of can't find / communicate with the domain controller etc and just needs these settings putting back to DHCP instead of a static ip address etc. All the tech would need was logon details ( an account whether local admin or similar so he / she could update / change the NIC settings ) Presume you would only do this for Version 4 of TCP/IP Settings unless you use version 6 ?? Something like so ( at least on windows 7 ) INNET - Setting the TCP / IP protocol in Windows 7 and 8 - ethernet adapter

I know it exists already here but would be great to use something like this to grab the beers out of a large bucket / tub that has ice and cold water in , save me getting off my deck chair lol Although I was thinking smaller with a robotic claw like the arcade machines have, maybe a camera ( web cam / ip camera ) so you could see what you were trying to grab using the arm ( a screen on the remote control that links to the camera on the helicopter ) -
As per your original question it depends what they are going to be required to do in the actual job, if it will involve getting pc's repaired or connected back to the network, resetting AD passwords , printer issues etc then I would try and come up with a number of common faults and see if they can resolve those so 1) Network cable not fully inserted so it looks like the network cable is in the pc but it won't get a network connection as the network cable needs pushing in all the way 2) Enabling the network card / updating or installing the relevant network card driver ( provide the driver in a folder on the root of C ) 3) As JHLEHS's suggestions ref other drivers, pc won't boot so maybe needs to ensure it is trying to boot from the hard drive and not another device ie usb storage device etc 4) PC Won't boot so maybe no RAM Installed which should give the relevant error or beep codes ( depending on motherboard ) 5) Can't print so installing the printer whether form a print server or manually installing the printer as a local printer using tcp/ip Again as I mentioned above with regards to depends on what there daily tasks would generally include / entail

Cheap Laptops, Tablet PC, and Cheap LED TVs | Ebuyer.com Get a starter kit - the one I was looking at was this one ( without wireless ) Devolo dLAN 500 - Mini Duo Powerline Starter Kit | Ebuyer.com Devolo with wireless http://www.ebuyer.com/501366-dlan-500-wifi-starter-kit-fast-ethernet-uk-9085 You can get powerline adapters that have wireless as well, although as per Edu-IT's comment, he suggested to get the power line adaptors and use a seperate wireless access point Entirely up to you which power line adapters you want to get ( a pair with or a pair without wireless ) You can get other makes of power line adapters ie TP Link etc which will be cheaper but then am not sure how good or bad they are Obviously if you go for the one without then you will need a separate wireless access point http://www.ebuyer.com/search?q=wireless+access+point&sort=price%20ascending Unless you don't require wireless and you can just hook network cable into the power line adapter and if you want more network points , then you would need a network switch connected into the power line adapter RJ45 port and do it that way but that's a given obvious anyway

This !! That's how I would do it assuming your electric wiring is ok and on the same circuit
