Ill have another look now. I declined all the updates till i could get a grip on what was happening. Also it may be un related but i get Unexpected error and i have to reset the server node quite often.

Something isnt right then. Because i have an XP update that is installed on 230+ Machines we only have 250... And i would say about 10 are XP...

I have Simple groups Laptops, Desktops, Workstations and Servers. I dont narrow it down by OS Etc. I was hoping it was clever enough to know the PC has Windows 7 so clearly doesnt need the Windows 2008 R2 update..

No i know that but UAC in most cases will stop people accessing programs it deems as unsuitable for the user. I just set up policies withing GP to dissalow Certain exe's within a OU.

I got mine straight away. Then Bought a futher 6. And was set up within a day! The system is amazing to use and feature rich.

Dissabled here. Group Policy stops people doing what they shouldnt be doing.

Im starting to get annoyed now our old IT Manager has Left and its now down to me to learn how WSUS works and to get it working again. I thought it was all going well. Untill WSUS seemes to be pushing out every single update to every PC connected to it. This means Windows 7 Updates are going to Windows Servers ETC. This is causing no end of problems on the PC's

I know, no one has replied to this for a while now but the need has arisen again. I am in need Of 1 PC to power 4 screens in differant areas. The connection will need to go over Fibre and Ethernet to reach the server room where the pc will be kept

Hmm that would work with only 1 PC. I guess it would if i can give the Screen VGA to Ethernet adpater an IP?

Hi, Thanks for this. Ive just been looking at the Kramer kit. Looks like it should do what i need. Although ive now been asked is it possible to have the screens showing something differant to eachother but on the one PC still. Not sure if this is or not.

I have been in contact with startech thinking that would do what i need, and was told that the VGA over Etehrnet wouldnt work going through switches. I also need to go over fibers for one of the screens because its down the other end of the building and cat5 wouldnt work efficently. I kind of want a program that installas and lets me send a certain program to the screen with an IP set Say. Send Powerpoint 1 to IP: 1.2.3.1 Send Powerpoint 2 to IP: 1.2.3.2 Send Powerpoint 3 to IP: 1.2.3.3 Not sure if this is possible? I am looking through the solutions you have posted as we speak see if anything will do what i need.

No worries. Good luck with it.

Umm not sure. Allways worth a google. But as far as i know MAc Filtering is probably more secure then WPA or WEP. Just hide the SSID they then have to find out what the SSID is before they even try to conect to it. Also another idea is to change the IP. Defaults are 192.168.1.1 OR arroud that maybe try something like 192.168.50.1

Much apprechiated if you could. We are running a PC and Windows iw ouldnt of thought it would be much differant.

Yea i mean a way to to do it. Is to have just MAC Address filtering so add each MAC Address of Laptop needed to connect to it. Also hiding the SSID is another way. But you will need to know how to connect the laptop the the Wireless Manually. Thats how i do it anyway MAC Adress Filtering and SSID Not Broadcast. We Use Dells so it is really easy to set up the Wireless Manually. Not sure what you use.
