Same problem here. For now until we go to manage our upgrade to 2013 we tell staff to use OWA to set their out of office.

In case anyone is in a similar situation where I was recently where there was only a small timeframe to roll out a vast number of Windows Updates and cant wait days for them to update each night according to schedule, below is a command line that will force them to look for updates, install them reboot, install updates. If you grab PStools and WUInstall you can use the command line below kick them all off. Put WUinstall.exe in netlogon. If you highlight all your computers needing an update and paste into excel, save the computer names only as a CSV (list.cvs) psexec.exe @C:\pstools\list.csv -c -s - \\server\netlogon\WUInstall.exe /search /install /reboot_if_needed /rebootcycle 3 It will run through each computer in the list forcing the updates, rebooting and updating. PS. I set the reboot cycle to 3 but if you have a huge number of updates this may need to be higher.

Sorry for not replying.... Both button on the IWB and space bar swapped over the screen as suggested above. Thanks all

When setting the IE proxy bypass settings with group policy preferences you have to press f6 (I think) to "enable" the settings you've made. Should go from red underlined to green. Caught us out!

Few things to look into: Disable creation of windows mail profile, Disable creation of activex in profile. Trim stuff from your mandatory profile, exclude from your roaming profile. Use verbose logging to see what's going on and the new event viewer to see exactly what is taking the time. Look at the enterprise slow login hot fixes, deploy your printers as a user policy not computer or you won't get logged in until printers are fully installed. Make sure your redirected wallpaper is small in size and your redirected startmenu isnt bloated in size. Good luck

Have you looked at editting the bootstrapper.INI and removing just the password? We leave the username (installer) in but just have to enter the password. We also disable F12 in the BIOS and stop the wds service when we are not re-imaging machines. Remember to recreate your boot image AND ALSO remove it from WDS and reimport it.

Hi, Working perfectly here. There was a group policy that stopped it working at one point, "Prevent users from making changes to the start menu." Or similar. Will copy and paste our XML tomorrow. It worked from Netlogon or from a local folder on the C drive root.

We put wired Microsoft 600s in one teacherless room. They have chunky risers and the recessed keys quite hard to pull off and swapped around compared to cheaper KBs. The spacebars do sometimes get pulled. No IP camera in the room? You can also buy them in a 5 pack. Thinking back now they might be 400 series not 600!!

I hope we missed a setting somewhere. Not found it yet. We are running 2011sp2 I believe. Not quite the latest. Previously we've managed to swap the VGA cables so the projector is always identity 1. In this case we can't as these have a display port that is always 1. Worth me calling SMART instead then i reckon. Thanks for the help.

I wish it was that simple Jamo. "Identity 1" monitor still stays as 1 but now its on the right instead of the left. Everything but the smart board software realises this and the writing always goes to the monitors labeled as identity 1 where ever it is placed. Cheers

Hi. Calibration comes up on the correct screen and it calibrates fine. But any writing appears as a pen mark on monitor 1. Not on the projected screen. Thanks

Hi Ben. It doesn't seem to matter. It just always draws on the monitor that is identity 1. Very annoying.

Just been asked for GameMaker 8.1 Free on the network. You are correct that the msi TARGETDIR switch doesn't work. It just unpacks it in the folder the MSI was stored in. I even tried editing in Orca but still the same. YoYo games I told them about it but they said they will look into it, this seems to be a problem with old out of date software they probably cant be bothered to fix. I also found out that 8.1 needs to be purchased. The free version isn't suitable for school use. Not sure what to do next.

Hi, We have some machines with dual screens setup. One the teacher uses connected to the projector that they use to display to students and another monitor that they would leave their personal data, emails, registration on. The problem is with the "Smart Whiteboard software", when teachers write on the board it will only write on to the monitor with "Identity 1" I know this would usually be as simple as swapping over the VGA leads, but in this case we cant as it uses a VGA and a displayport. In XP you could uninstall the monitors from device manager, delete the registry entries, plug in the monitor you want as monitor 1 and reboot, the other would then be monitor 2. But Windows 7 appears to want to always want the displayport as Identity one. (info here: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=657768) Any ideas please?

Hi Stephen, Just to adpate, working perfectly with Server 2012 R2 as well as Server 2012 now... As said earlier if you watch the install video it has a couple of steps missed in the pdf. Good Luck!

Hi Nick, Is this regarding server 2012 R2 only? Thanks

Hi Stephen, We have it running fine on server 2012, we are now trying to install it on 2012 R2 and we are getting the above issues. Must be something were missing.

Get-MailboxDatabase | ForEach-Object {Add-ADPermission -Identity $_.DistinguishedName -User syncuser -ExtendedRights ms-Exch-EPI-May-Impersonate}

Do the Ruckas points have to be ceiling mounted in the middle of the room for the beamflex to work optimally??

I don't think that its a problem with the user as it would say: "The account does not have permission to impersonate the requested user"

Hi, Ive setup connection to our 2007 exchange and I cant get the live tiles to work!! "The server to which the application is connected cannot impersonate the requested user due to insufficient permission." Can anyone please help? Ive run through the "Microsoft Exchange Web Services Connectivity" Tests and they all pass? Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance

Server 2008 R2 64bit Backup Exec 11d If you add the following key into the registry you can install the agent. Tested and working fine.

Hi mate, Yes were all sorted here, they were blocked on our local smoothwall install and the upstream proxy. See email from smoothwall below. Hope it helps you! Hi Tim As discussed , please ask XXXXX to whitelist the following URLs on the council proxy that you use as the upstream. officeimg.vo.msecnd.net office.microsoft.com odc.officeapps.live.com ieonline.microsoft.com This should then allow you to use the Office 2013 templates

Thanks, but we need each and every student to have their own file that they can edit. Will look at creating a folder and setting permissions for "this folder subfolder and files" etc

Ok, so even a "delete" set on that file will be ignored? ok thanks. Could you suggest how you would setup security on this please? Need a file placed into student areas that they cannot delete! They need to be able to open and save it. Thanks
