Oh dear - my site may well have the above problem - by "interesting" what is involved? A document server has been recently re-named (not the SIMS server) and now many bespoke report templates are not readable. Any advice/experience would be much appreciated. -- RH

I fixed it by putting this vbscript in startup on the profile (works a treat): set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ' Proxy Settings WSHShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyServer", "10.0.0.2:8080" WSHShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyEnable", 1, "REG_DWORD" WSHShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyOverride", "10.0.0.*;intranet.*;" Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ' Home Page URL StartPage = "http://www.google.co.uk" WSHShell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page", StartPage WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page", StartPage

Nope.

I'm not sure whether this is an LNM problem - or a pc image problem but here's the scenario: - Mini-towers with XP Pro SP1 logon to the server GPO invokes - my documents redirected fine, the internet works. - 1st user logs off - 2nd users logs on and everything works fine but - the proxy settings and the homepage are gone - so no 'net access. If the PC reboots the first user to log on can browse the net fine. All desktop PCs with different hardware work fine everytime. I guess I'm answering my own question and it is an image issue - but has anyone come accross this before? Is there a fix so I don't have to re-image all the towers? - tried upgrade to service pack 2 - no joy - there is the possibility they were upgraded from XP Home Edition One last note - the towers did not have this problem when logging on to the old (now departed) server (server 2000). Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

:?: Hi all, Our deputy head is setting up a plasma screen in the staff room that he wants to display an electronic version of the weekly bulletin on. The PC it connects to is to be networked. Does anyone know of some software that could create scrolling messages that could be easily updated and/or scrolled automatically. For example a web style form that automatically forwards the new message for a set period of time. I don't want to have to create a PowerPoint and update it all the time :-( Cheers for any suggestions.

Everything is in the default folders ghost32.exe is ver 8.0.0.984. I am using an old HP unmanaged 10/100 switch to do the experimenting on. I have managed to do a restore with a virtual pc on the server - using a solid image from another server. However I still can't get it to clone properly (finishes early) using a virtual machine either...

After resolving the RIS problem (full reinstallation) - I am having difficulty getting the Ghost facility to work. Images bomb out before fully uploading (although the screen says they are completed) and good images from other servers don't install properly. Any ideas? Cheers.

The blurb for LNM mentions remotes control of PCs for teachers. I have a server setup - but see no evidence for this functionality. Am I missing something from the setup? Cheers for any replies.

Hi all, I am creating a server for one of our primary schools as part of our support commitment. I like the way LNM creates a structure quickly and fairly simply - so I have chose it as the base for the network. However, when trying to image a windows PC using LNM RIS I get the following error as Windows XP begins its automated setup: "Untranslatable message, Win32LastError is 14001" This is at the stage when the XP picture appears and the counter - stating 39 mins (plus the screen to the right stating all the new features of XP). I am wondering whether it was because I didn't use an original XP SP2 CD during the initial install (I used one of our backup copies). Any ideas? I'm about to give up on it.

Hi all, We have a bit of a situation kicking off at our school. It was agreed 6 months ago that a former ICT Support Room/Office would be turned into a 2nd server room as part of our disaster recovery plan. Basically the main server room is easily accessible via the roof - and I once witnessed an ASBO peering in after hours not so long ago. So server room 2 has been setup at the other side of the school - with all data replicated to the BDC as well as an NAS box and admin server etc... To cut a long story short I recently got an e-mail from the head of ICT (Teaching) telling me to use some work experience kids (the idiot ones who'd been sent home from placements) to clear some space in there so teachers could store coursework and files. This I have refused to do - regardless of the work experience kids - as I steadfastly refuse to share the server room with teaching staff. In my 7 years at the school I have to say, that although I respect the difficult job they do, I have not been impressed with the teachers approach to security - from doors being left unlocked to theft from classrooms. The room is likely to become a dumping ground to keep classrooms spic and span. I have got a feeling I might be over-ruled on this as I am being seen as being petty... Anyone have an opinion/experience of this at your site? I'm particularly looking for support I could forward to senior team as I feel my disaster recovery plan could turn into a "disaster waiting to happen plan" if shared access is forced on me. Cheers.
