Old-school method of a Pupil Shared drive, mapped as 'P' is the tried and tested method. It's a free-for-all for students and teachers alike. Staff should set a folder per intake with Year Of Leaving (easier than Y1, Y2, etc, or Year of Intake I find) In that folder, each kid has their own which travels with them through their time at school. So, Computer | P drive | 2026 | Bob Cheese | Y6 | files I guess their Home drive mapped through GPO works too but then the staff need to navigate to multiple home folders and that's a faff they won't want to do.

Nobody's been messing with AD OU structure have they? If loopback is enabled then make sure the staff/admin machines have the same policy links as pupil ones, bar specific lockdown/mapped drives etc etc

Oh yeah, RM's response was: Thank you for your query. RM no longer support RM Snapshot due to its incompatibility with later operating systems such as Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit versions). I am sorry that we are unable to assist you further. However there is a new assessment service we supply which has replaced Snapshot - called Formative Assessment Service. Details are available on the link below.

How'd you get on with this? Was it Windows 7, by any chance? Did it prompt for running the Calibration Utility? I'm having some issues myself with Server 2008 DC and Windows 7 x64 SP1... Snapshot and Manager do not run from the network with the following message: Project exception (registry) Cause: DefaultTimeout Try to run the setup to install locally and the message: "OS not supported" is given. Set compatibility mode to 'Windows XP service pack 2' as guided by RM Support to no avail. How to install RM Snapshot on Windows Vista Created a Windows XP Virtual PC (part of the the Windows 7 Pro OS) and tried to install it there too but came back with the same message. The rest of the network is XP or Vista, running with no problems.

Yup! It works! Server 2008, Windows 7 and XP Pro clients separated by OU. Made a separate set of icons in a different folder, created loopback merge gpo with redirection settings amd placed it in the Computer OU for the x64 W7 clients.

Would this loopback method work for an environment where there's 32bit XP machines running on the same network as 64bit W7? The issue encountered first off was that the W7 machines put all "legacy" applications in 'Program Files (x86)' which then renders a number of redirected desktop icons redundant. The plan is to have a separate redirect per OS for pupils. Looks doable but wondering if anyone's had success with this?
