Hi, We currently have Sharepoint set up at our school for staff members to use. I have been asked to look into setting up a free VLE preferably with sharepoint so students can hand in documents to teachers etc. We would also need students to be able to access their documents with this. Can this be easily achieved? Or is there a better free alternative? We've played about with Moodle before but this was dismissed by management so won't be looking at that. Any help or input would be great. Thanks.

Yeah I know what you mean but I'm just the technician following orders from the powers that be! All our student machines are still XP so we need it on these new laptops. Looks like I'll have to create a new image!

Yeah I did think that but I have found XP drivers on the manufacturers website. It boots fine if I install from the CD so the SATA drivers shouldn't be an issue.

Hi, We have 8 new laptops that came preinstalled with Windows 8 and I need to install XP on them. I have tried using our XP image from WDS which I have injected the required drivers into. It appears to install fine with no problems, restarts and then shows the XP loading screen. It then just shuts down, no blue screen, no errors, just turns off. I have disabled secure boot and ahci within the BIOS and I can install XP from a CD without any issues. The only other thing I can think of is that the hardware is 64bit and the image 32 but I have installed 32bit images onto 64 machines with no problem before. (this may have only been 7 not xp, I can't remember) Any help with this would be great, Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I've left work now so will give this a try on Monday!

Hi, I need to map a drive letter to a local path on the computer. For example, Z: drive points to c:\very\long\path. I can do this using the subst command but I need a way to do it using my vbs logon script. If anyone can help at all I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll give this a go when I get in.

Hi, I'm trying to install server 2003 onto a server that previously had 2008 on it. When I boot from CD and it goes through the motions it comes up saying hard disk not found. This I put down to ahci mode being enabled so I went to remove it, but it was already disabled. The disk shows up in BIOS and if I want to boot from it, I can. This is an old RM CC3 server so it did have 2003 installed a few years back if that helps at all. Any ideas? Cheers.

Not to worry, got it working. Just needed to give the user permissions for the folder!!

This fix was working fine however I'm now recieving this error. If I change the temp path back, I don't recieve the error. This error is with sims.

thanks guys got it working.

Yeah installed last week, and they tried to use it this morning. How short a username and password are we talking? At current it's 12 characters total. I'll give it a go nonetheless, cheers.

Hi, I realise T4 is ancient and no longer supported but a few people here still use it so would just like to see if anyone can help. If not I'll tell my staff to just use T6/sims. When someone clicks SQL link in T4 and tries to load student data and timetables they get the following error: Could not launch application: error=24 The user now has a windows 7 32bit machine and it previously worked on XP and still does for other XP users. Nothing else has changed and I've tried running it in compatability mode but still no luck. If anyone can help would be great, Thanks.

works, thankyou.

is that all there is to it? When you say sysprep file, do you mean unattend.xml ? Thanks

Hi, I've been trying for the past few weeks to get my unattend.xml file to first ask for a computer name, then log on with admin to auto activate windows and join my domain before then restarting. I thought I had got this working as I wanted but it appears not. The computer I was imaging, I ran sysprep and shut down the computer. Restarted and sent it up to WDS with no problems. Upon restarting the computer booted up and went through the motions as I wanted; ask for computer name, log on with admin, activate and join domain then restart. Everyone was perfect. When I send this image down to another laptop it does not work! It automatically names the computer 'administrator' and disables the local admin account (it's told to enable in unattend) and doesn't activate but does join domain. If anyone knows why or can offer any help it would be much appreciated, thanks. Here is my unattend file: en-GB en-GB en-GB en-GB activates local admin 1 net user administrator /active:yes true XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Turnford Turnford false en-GB en-GB en-GB en-GB cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\sysprep\join.vbs join domain 3 false 1 cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato activate windows false 2 c:\wireless.cmd set wireless settings false true false Work TgA0AHIAbgAxAEEAQQBkAG0AaQBuAGkAcwB0AHIAYQB0AG8AcgBQAGEAcwBzAHcAbwByAGQA false TgA0AHIAbgAxAEEAUABhAHMAcwB3AG8AcgBkAA== false Local administrator administrator administrators administrator Turnford Turnford false GMT Standard Time

Hi, I'm new to working with sysprep and I'm trying to include mass storage drivers into the sysprep file but recieve the following error: "an error occurred while trying to update your registry" I've had a look around and most sources say to check the paths for the drivers, which seem to be fine to me. If anyone could help me out that would be great. I've included my sysprep file.

Hi, We have several standalone machines not part of the domain that we want to add a networked printer to. I've used the following: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n\\SERVERNAME\printershare to successfully map the printers to all users, however, it displays "access denied, unable to connect." I'm guessing this is because it can't authenticate the user and we dont want it prompting for a username each time. Is there a way I can include user details in the script so it will automatically connect? Any help much appreciated, Thanks.

Yeah it's the same hardware.

Hi, I've deployed windows 7 with no problems using WDS, however when trying to deploy XP I get the following error on restart: Disk read error occurred. press ctrl + alt + del to restart If anyone can help at all it would be great, thanks.

Hi, We had a previous problem with printing which seemed to fix itself, however we are now encountering another problem. A student may log on to a computer and the printer hasn't allocated itself, but another student can log onto the same computer and it will appear. But the student who had the printer can then log onto another computer, same room or different and not have the printer. If I log on as systemadmin then it will allocate no problems, then log off and a student log back on. The printer will then show most of the time but not always. I have tried removing local profiles and then resetting the user profile from management console and running a health check but this doesn't help at all. Nothing seems consistent so it's hard to pin down the problem. If anyone can help that would be great, thanks.

Hi, I'm having some trouble installing Sophos on a room of CC3 machines. I've allocated the prepare for sophos package but when I choose to protect computers from within the sophos console nothing is installed. I manually installed onto one machine which worked fine so I decided to try making a package this way. Once it allocates and you log on it then asks for the sophos autoupdate.msi which if you navigate to, still doesn't complete the install. I then found something on the RMCommunities website for creating a package structure manually so I've put the following in an ini file and allocated it. It goes through the motions of allocating but nothing is installed: [Package] Description=Sophos New Version=1.0.0.0 OS=5.WS ExeFile=\\serverpath\InterChk\ESXP\setup.exe AddCommand=-user mydomain\sweepupd -pwd mypassword -mng yes -s If anyone can help me out that would be great, Thanks.

Hi, Students are getting the following error when trying to access certain websites: Sysfader:iexplore.exe. Application Error The instruction at "0x64761480" referenced at "0x64761480". The memory could not be "read" According to Sysfader:iexplore.exe. Application Error from the RM website theres an option to fix this from internet options, however students cannot access this and I've found no options with the management console. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Yeah we can print when logged onto the server and I've checked the IPs, not duplicates. I had heard about the problem with publisher but this is with all programs. What is Delprof?

Yeah thats right. It is showing the correct printer, but coming out elsewhere.
