Thanks to Luke, we're sorted. Thank you to everyone. such a shame I had to make a post on here for the issues to be resolved though.

Fair play - Luke has now contacted me to try resolve. You are right - I'm more annoyed that we've been charged a £300 collection fee when nothing was mentioned before collection. Hopefully we will come to a compromise.... The second thing that annoys me is that the Directors of the company have ignored my e-mails and haven't been helpful. I too have used millgate in the past and have had no problems until now.

Without going into great detail, we were not told about any collection charges - and I did ask. Agreed, the deal was that the offer may be dropped due to the standard of the kit. Fair enough. BUT when we gave 60 motherboards to them for FREE that were exact matches for the machines, I don't expect to be chraged for motherboards! OK, there may have been some damage on the machines from kids. What I'm most annoyed about is the fact we have been charged £300 for collection which was not discussed, and then ignored by the management of the company when I have asked why this has happened any why I was not told from the beginning.

We carried out a large ICT upgrade over summer and removed 50 PCs from service due to their age. As a way of subsidising the cost of upgrade we thought that it would be a good idea to try and sell the computers. We contacted Millgate ( IT Services | IT Support | Business Telecoms - Sheffield, Leeds and Yorkshire - Millgate Computer Systems ), who we have had dealings with in the past, and they told me that they would purchase them from us at an agreed cost. However, once the computers had been collected, the price was dropped and a hidden “collection” charge was deducted from the final total offer. Due to this, we are over £500 down on what the original offer was and are getting no response from the company – even the director. They refuse to communicate, which suggests to me, that they aren’t worth doing business with in the future. This is a very brief summary of the trouble we have had with this company throughout the sale of PCs, but I hope that you will think twice before placing any orders or selling PCs to them…. The views above are my personal views and do not necessarily represent the view of the school.

Sorry - looked at the ad on my phone and didn't see the link. There's a similar job advertised at the minute at south hunsley thats all.

Hi Steve, Are you at south hunsley?

Hi All, I've been asked to look into setting the system up so that the windows on screen font is set at 18px for one user. I've looked in group in group policy and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Has anyone else managed to do this? Thanks

As above: 60 x Asus P5VDC motherboards - taken from RM Ascend 2800 all in one PC. Intel Celeron 2.8GHz Minimum 512GB RAM - some may have more. Please contact me ASAP if you are interested. Looking for a quick sale, and these are ready for immediate collection. All packed in individual boxes to keep them safe. We may split if smaller quantities are needed... Price - open to offers really. I'm not sure what these are worth.

Cheers - thinking out loud always helps!

Hi All, I've got a Netgear managed wireless in school and have setup an 'Open Access' SSID. Is there a way that I can create a DHCP scope for these Guest devices that are on the network? - ie. Non Domain devices My idea is to then allow the IP range through our TMG server which will hopefully act transparently so that guest users don't have to configure proxy etc to gain internet access. OR is there a better way of doing this? Current Setup is 2008R2 with TMG2011 and Netgear WFS709TP wireless. Another idea was to setup a VLAN for the open access, create a new DHCP server and TMG?
