mac_shinobi - I had seen that link and tried that. It looks like it should work, however I get 4 print jobs, and not in the right order.

Hi, I have a macro set up in Excel which prints certain worksheets from a workbook. This works fine, however all the sheets print as separate print jobs. I would like to find a way to change the code so that only one print job is created. The sheets need to be printed in the order of the code below, which is not the same order as the tabs in the worksheet. Changing the order of the tabs is not an option. Any help appreciated! Current Code: Sub WorkSheetWithFoam() 'Select the printer to print to If (Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show) = True Then On Error Resume Next Sheets("Drawing").Select Sheets("Foam").PrintOut Sheets("Fitting").PrintOut Sheets("Extr.").PrintOut Sheets("Exterior").PrintOut Sheets("Timber").PrintOut Sheets("Timber").PrintOut Sheets("Drawing").PrintOut Sheets("Card").PrintOut Sheets("Summary").PrintOut Sheets("Input").PrintOut Else End If End Sub

Hi, Hoping someone can help me out with this! I am configuring a new deployment of Office 2013 Standard, using the office customization tool to create an msp file. We use Office 365 for our email. What settings do I need to add into the customization tool so that users do not see / do not need to click through the welcome / account setup wizard, and outlook opens already configured? Thanks!

Hi all. Hope somebody can help with this one. We are experiencing some random erratic movement on the touch pads of some of our Dell E5520 laptops. This only occurs when the laptop is docked (Dell E-port) and thus connected to the wired network, usb, speakers and projector (Dell S500WI). As the projector is interactive (with a pen which acts as a mouse) we have made sure that the pen is turned off, which makes no difference. We have also updated the touch pad drivers, which again made no difference. When un-docked, the laptop exhibiting the fault has no touchpad problems - put it back on the dock, and the problem returns. I believe (although i need to check) that we have narrowed the problem down (by unplugging everything one by one) to being the vga cable between the laptop and the projector. However, the installation across the school was done at the same time using the same equipment, but is only affecting a handful of users. All the laptops are identical E5520's (again purchased at the same time) and have identical software images on them. Has anyone come across this before or have any ideas on what to look for next? Thanks, Stephen

hi, would you share how you did this? Thanks!

Hi, We've had very similar problems with Premiere Elements on a network. After a lot of trial and error (along with frustrated students and staff!) it seems that everything works as it should if we log on to the machines as administrators, exactly as you describe. Does it continue to work and just play the audio, or crash with the 'Premiere has encountered an error' message? Do you use mandatory or roaming profiles for your students? Or redirected application data? This seemed to be the cause of a lot of our problems. We configured a new group policy based on our existing students policy, which does not have the redirected application data setting. Using a WMI filter, we then set this policy to only apply when a student logs on to a machine with Premiere installed (we only have 20 licences) - therefore on any other machine in the college they get the normal mandatory profile. Its also worth setting up a folder (can be done via group policy) on the C: drive of the machine, which the students can see and have full control of. This will allow premiere to write preview files to the local drive rather than the network, which will greatly increase performance. However, this does mean that students need to use the same machine for the duration of their project, as all their files will be local. On ours, we also make sure the students set a few settings in the software itself. When you create a new project, make sure you are using PAL settings rather than NTSC. Once you have created a project, we found that a few more settings helped things even further. All under Edit --> Preferences: General - Unitck 'Background Rendering' and 'Enable GPU Playback' Scratch Discs - Set each option to the local folder you created on the C: drive. Click OK, and you will be prompted to save and re-open the project to apply the settings. All the above seems to have worked for us, but involved a lot of trial, error and testing! Hope everything makes sense - let us know how you get on! Regards, Stephen

Hi, I have recently bought a new Macbook Pro running OSX 10.7.2 Lion I have joined the macbook to the domain (Server 2003) with no apparent issues. My account is set up as a mobile account, so that I can login to the macbook away from the network. I am unable to set any mobile account settings (greyed out) and when i try to sync with my network home folder, i get the following error. 'The Sync could not complete because your network home at "(null)" does not allow writing.' I also have a Mac Pro (also running lion, upgraded from 10.6.8) with which the home sync works fine for the same user account, so I am sure that my Windows server permissions are correct. I would like my network home folder to sync with my local home folder on both machines as I would expect it should be able to. Does anybody have any idea why I am getting the above error? Any help greatly appreciated!

itevo's post above worked for me too a few days ago, found after extensive googling of the subject! I'm also on a .local domain. On Server 2003, I have found that I also needed to disable (set to none) dynamic updating in DNS to get the new IPv6 record to stay there, otherwise its deletes everyday. Can anyone shed any light on this? Mine is only a small business network of 2 macs and a couple of PC's though, so its not a huge issue - would be on a larger network though. Since applied, login times on OSX 10.6.8 are now 15-20 seconds rather than 5 or more minutes.

Hi, As per this post we have recently re-directed application data for a mandatory student profile to speed up the logon process. When a student opens Publisher, it is autorecovering other students work which is currently open elsewhere on the network. Does anybody have a solution? We are using Server 2008 and Publisher 2007. Thanks!

Hi All, we have recently done the same as the above post and have the same issue occuring. Using Server 2008 and Publisher 2007. Has anyone come across a solution for this? Thanks!

Had this appear on several of ours. Any memory showing as 'free' has not yet been used by any process on the server since it was last restarted. 'Available' memory is that which has been used by a process and then released but does not go back into the 'free' pile as it has been used. Hope that makes sense!

all our main IT areas have computers with the cd drives etc removed, and just usb sockets on the front for usb drives etc. the empty drive bay is then covered with either the machine specific blanking plates, or black perspex. B Behind that exterior, we have also glued in some metal plates. stops the little darlings punching through the fronts and stealing the ram too!

just discovered the instructions on the bosses blog! how useful! He's away on holiday by the way, and i have students pestering me to make it work! can you point me in the right direction to check this out? Just sorted sound and USB device access with my ThinStation deployment. "I inserted the following lines to the thinstation.conf.buildtime file and it all started to work. USB_STORAGE_SYNC=On USB_MOUNT_DIR=”/mnt/usbdevice” SESSION_0_RDESKTOP_OPTIONS=”-r disk:USBDrive=/mnt/usbdevice -r sound:local” Make sure too that you have the necessary modules included for storage device and USB access in the build.conf file." would all the thin clients be applying this from somewhere? or do i need to change the files and then go round re-installing each client?

Where will I find the tftp root directory? Sorry, I'm going to need a few basics here! The thin clients themselves are some very basic school built machines. Having installed a few myself, they are firstly formatted / booted via a usb drive which drops an image onto the hard drive of the thin client. After the installation, when the thin client is booted, it displays the post, then the thinstation screen, then connects straight to the 2008 terminal server at the user login prompt..

unfortunately i am not back in school until tomorrow morning. it has worked in the past and no configuration has changed as far as i know. I'm a bit new to this, where do i find the thinstation config file? Cheers, Stephen

Hi, We have about 60 thin client pc's (running thinstation) connecting to a server 2008 terminal server. Users have recently been unable to plug a usb pen drive (or portable hard drive) into a usb socket on the thin client and get access to it. This redirection used to work, same with audio redirection! All the drive / audio redirection settings are correct in group policy, and also in the terminal server config / setup / management options. Anybody have any clues as to whats gone wrong?

Hi, I have a strange issue with Print Manager Plus. We have set our printers to default to black and white printing. (They are Kyocera Colour Laser) If a document is black only (ie plain black text) Print Manager Plus detects it as black and white, and charges the black and white cost as it should. the document prints in black as expected. If a document is colour, Print Manager Plus detects it as colour, andthe colour cost is charged, and the document prints in colour as expected. Here's the issue: If a user wishes to print a document that contains colour and black data to a printer using the black and white default (to save money, ie a web-page), Print Manager Plus still detects it as colour, and charges the colour cost. However, the document prints in black and white only. Has anybody come across this before? any solutions? Admins - please move to a different area if i have put this in the wrong place!
