Hi, We currently have 1 server 2003 as the DC. Thinking of buying a 2nd server running 2008. With regards to the licensing, do I need CAL's as well for my 80 pc's on the network as they already have CAL's with the 2003. I want to do it "per server" ideally. Thanks

Thanks Michael, I'll probably get a 2008 R2 server to make it easier then. I take it that you can manage the GP's without it been a DC ?

Thanks Glen. As long as I know its do-able. Karl

Hi, Can you manage Windows 7 specific settings via a Server 2003. I have read that if you don't have a 2008 server, you have to get a Windows 7 machine and specifically use that for editing the policies. Has anyone else experience of this ? Thanks

Haha thats fine. I'll be running windows 7 by then ! Thanks everyone

OK. Having read a few articles on the internet and got different answers I thought I would ask here. If we are running Windows XP Service Pack 3 -- when does updates / support end for this ? I've read April 2014 but then some say 24 months after the last service pack. Thanks Karl

Hi, Is there a way to have a certain AD group use 1 set of DNS and the rest use another. Basically I have blocked facebook.com via an A Record in DNS to a dead IP address. I want to block dailymotion for 1 group of users but allow it for everyone else. I don't have ISA Thanks

Thanks everyone. We only have 2003 server and I don't fancy auditing all them files. A member of staff has an interview and we would like to monitor if they copy and worksheets saved on our shared drive onto their own memory stick.

Hi, Does anyone know of any software that can monitor if staff have copied files to a memory stick ? Thanks

Hi, I've been running this logon script now for a while. Works fine. Occasionally we get a few errors. At the moment getting line 177 permission denied. Line 7 in the code is: oFSO.CopyFile index_dat, spyTmp, True Any ideas ? Thanks

Thanks everyone. Managed to download an index.dat reader and looked at it with SLT. Nothing untoward at all so all positive there.

Hi Thanks. I need to do it tomorrow so haven't really got chance to purchase that software. I won't be doing it on my own

Thanks. The index.dat been located in c:/documents and settings / user. Let me know if the name comes to you of the program.

Hi, Without going into too much detail I need to check on the internet history of a staff member. We don't have an internal proxy in school / monitoring solution. I could log in as the member of staff and go to history in internet explorer but not sure of their password. Is it possible to log on as administrator and go to the history and temporary internet files of a staff member (more so the history). Thanks

Thanks for this everyone. Got round it by adding the DNS record in Server 2003 and it works fine.

@computer expert. Where abouts in DNS ca I add this. When I've looked it thinks I'm doing it internally. IE facebook.com.stjohns.local ! Also will this block HTTPS of facebook too ? Thanks Update: I've added a secondary dns zone called facebook.com and pointed it to an ip on our server but there is an error and it says it can't transfer the zone from the master server -- we only have 1 DNS server by the way

Top bombing - sounds perfect. Can you edit the hosts file in GP or is it a reg edit job then publish that via GP.

Thanks could you elaborate a bit more.

Hi We currently have EXA networks as our ISP and they do our filtering. We don't have a proxy set in IE as the filtering is at ISP end. Works fine until ... ... the kids have realised that you can change HTTP to http://HTTPS://www.facebook.com and it loads fine. EXA networks say block HTTPS (which isn't possible as finance use it for Inland revenue etc) or change our network so you have 2 subnets - staff and student and then block HTTPS on the student subnet only. Is there an alternative way ? A cheap software proxy that allows all traffic apart from to Facebook ? Smoothwall ? Thanks in advance

Hi, Got a Dell dimension from a client at the moment. When you load it it gets to XP logo screen then goes to a black screen and doesn't load. Tried VGA mode thats the same. Plugged into onboard graphics thats the same. Safe mode works fine. Tried system restore no luck. Tried XP repair no luck Any other ideas ? Thanks

Ok thanks for that webman. If you can delete one instance of a recurring booking (IE one week) I will be happy

Does anyone know when CRBS V2 is going to be available ? Thanks

Sorted it. As said above, put it into the worksheet rather than a module and is spot on

It down as module6 in Excel. Does it need to be Private Sub or just Sub.

Hi I have an Excel worksheet that I want to disable printing on. I have tired the following macro but still prints
