check your graphics cards/monitor documentation for any clues once you sort it, check if the graphics card has the rotation option, if so disable it, also uncheck the shortcut keys option if your graphics card allows

marvelous! i was asked today to set this up thursday and bingo the instructions are here without having to ask

i will keep that handy just in case!

i find the technet website is a useful resource for the webcasts and vitual labs for the hands on knowledge.

what about CSE's network toolkit, you can buy modules such as the workspace explorer, (front end) application manager (deploy applications) station manager (remotely monitor clients, it also logs everything the pupils do on the workstation, even if they have used usb apps, what words they typed into google etc) Not bad on the pricing either.

do dell still have the robot outside there stand (and are the still giveing out rulers?)

well train tickets booked for friday! i need mugs for the office as i dropped the 3 staff mugs last night whilst in a rush! are the mugs new or used? which stand is the edugeek occupying?

we also use pcounter, very useful piece of software for quota management and also setting up ruling such as delete duplicate jobs, delete job if more than x number of pages! I love it when pupils turn up saying they have not been assigned the weekly quote. All i do i run the report feature to show they were! THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES!!!!!

floppy drive? whats a floppy drive? lol

well 16 pounds return and £1 for the insurance! not bad many thanks guys oh well back to trouble shooting group policy!

many thanks guys look forward to aving a chat IF we get there!

sorry Russ yep BETT 2007 more details on the coach travel please Ben -------- just about to make second donation to this great site!!!!!!

being in the second capital city our lea who used to provide transport will not do so this year. With all thats being offered at the fair (advice, guidance, choice, infomation, etc) they could have used some of the funds they take from the schools to provide transport) Trains are working out bout 80-90 quid, so much for the goverment wanting us to use public transport! any body travelling from the birmingham area, there are 4 of us who want to go and wil pay petrol and more

ranj what sort of infastructure do the servers support?

how olds the floppy disk that you are using, have you tried a different floppy disk/ floppy from another batch hth what version of ghost are you using. You may if the symantec software allows us a bootable cd (cdrw), i am hoping to use ghost to boot the pc via the nic.

just found this at icttechnicians.com site just thought i would share it for anybody else looking to setup desktop/startmenu redirection 1. folder redirection is not dependant on profile setup. Local, Roaming or Mandatory will all work with it 2. Start with a simple folder path to direct the desktop contents \\server\templates\student\desktop and when this is OK, move on to start menu and start menu programs folder. \\server\templates\student\programs and work from there. 3. Remember the 'Remove common program groups from Start Menu' option otherwise your custom start menu will 'merge' with the local 'all users' one and you will see more shortcuts than you should. 4. Use 'Classic Mode' XP start menu as this looks much more logical

Thanks for the link. As the home folders were already in existance when i setup redirection for the my documents folder i did not need to create anything. However I do not have a desktop folders that i can redirect. i have created shared folders that have set up for staff and students. Do i just drop the shortcuts that i want the two different groups to get, is is there more to iw Also the same applies to the startmenu. I copied a startment folder from the all users group from the languages department. I then removed any folders (system tools etc) from it Do i just drop the folder in share then use the gpo settings to run that for the particular security group? many questions........

sorry if there is a thread already, i have had a good look but did not find one here. I have sucessfully managed to use intellimirror to redirect users my documents folders. However i cannot find any websites or threads here on how to carry this out. Would be greatful if anybody has any links or docs on how to setup up desktop & startmenu redirection. would be most appreciative ... as always

DaveT 'so it wont work then!" stop it you are putting me off me work! lol

I added a user to the print operators group and then was able to print, so could it be a permissions issue? If so why would the job even register in the print queue? Sinking fast!

what is really annoying is that when users send a job to the 1700 or 9600 they appear in the print queue as spooling deleting printing just as expected. Therefore the script must be appllying in order for the jobs to reach the print server. We have about 15 autostarting scripts that have never been an issue and the CSE network toolkit is a very reliable product. All other scripts are fully functioning and i have edited a working script, added these printers, yet still no luck

i logged onto all the workstations in the three rooms and used the microsoft printer driver cleanup utility to clean the drivers. i then manually installed all three printers and then added the unc port for the printer. By this method all users are able to print to the three printers. This proves that they have permission to print. I checked the cse side of things for confirmation. The vbscript was assigned to the correct workstations and to the staff and student group. The printers are mapped when users log on so the script is being applied. I am also able to print to one of the printers so, i am struggling to put my finger on it. I also deleted the script and recreated a new one.

thanks Ric did you remove the drivers from the server as well or just workstation level? We use cse Network management software and it is there we allow the script to excute on start up.

the scripts are startup ones. i have a few rooms with two or more printers, i have used the same script (modified printername) and they work fine. It is rather strange as the they are able to print to the 2300 laser but not the other two that are in the same script. apeo i will try that at lunchtime and get back top you thanks for taking time out to reply.

i have a vb script that maps 3 networked printers and also sets one as default they are hp 2300n hp cp 1700 oki 9600 The 2300 is set as the default If i log onto the workstation with the script assigned with the domain admin account I am able to print to the oki and 1700 and 2300. However if I log on as a standard user I am only able to print to the 2300. In the print queue for the oki and 1700 any job that is sent by the standard users appears as would be expected. We only had the oki and 2300 previously and they were mapped at workstation level. All users were able to print them. I have checked the permissions set on the oki and 1700. I also use the same script (edited) for other printers and they work without any issues. Server = 2000 running as a DC Clients = xp pro sp2 The printer are setup with IP addresses and are shared at server level the printers are on the 2000 server and the script is connecting users by \\servername\printersharename script = the script i am using is Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server\rdclaser" WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server\rdccolour" WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server\rdca3laser" WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\server\rdclaser" i have checked the share permissions of the 2300 laser and the other two, all are set the same I set the 1700 as a the default stil no luck help!
