Hello there, Could anyone please see if they could find me the TOM program as shown in the following pictures as needs a copy asap. Pictures are in this link: LINK RMEOVED - IGNORE POST Any version of this software will do and if you can post or PM me the link it will be much appreciated. Thanks

You create a SFX Archive to replace the wallpaper on the computer (located in %ProgramFiles%/Research machines/Network Management/Desktop/*.jpg can not remeber the exact name of hand) or just change it in the Policy Settings in the RMMC for each user type. The wallpaper is Installed by RM Desktop Components, However this is an essential package as it installs other stuff too. Thanks

Hello all, Not sure if this is in the right place so apoligies if it isn't... I have a question that has been on my mind for ages and would like to know what others think. The main question is what do IT Staff (NM's etc) need devices like iPads (or equivalents) for in the School / Office environment, I can understand why "some" students may want them but personally I think they are a waste of money in that use. Finally what would you do with them as a Network Manager or Junior Technician etc.. I have thought of a few things and am drawing up a table of advantages and disadvantages and am asking for contributions. If you have one what sort of things do you use it for ?? Advantages, Ideal for Internet Surfing, Updating School Website (If possible), RDP, App Development (Skills) email updating schools FB or Twitter (If they have it) Disadvantages, Distraction, (Apps, Games, News, Photos, iMessage etc....) Limited to the iOS Family (and jailbreaking) however Win 8 support for ARM may change this ??? Nothing really special compared to a netbook etc. Thanks

Ok, Thanks, However this would be my chossen way of doing it because what I am trying to do is make a bundle if you like that gets installed on a clean Win2008R2 server and automatically does everything for you, Installs all the Roles, Role Services, Features, adds the AD, sets up the AD, imports users from CSV, sets the Home Folders and Profiles adds them to the right group, adds all the shares required, set up all the GPO's.. In basic it takes a clean Working 2008R2 Server and makes it ready to use straight away with little effort needed in setting it all up. All the user does is answer a few questions at the start of the install and it does the rest automatically and they can then change it as and when needed. If you do know how to do this or anyone else does please can you help me. Ideally I would like it to run in PS or as a VBS and so would appreciate the help. Thanks.

Sort of following on form that is there any way I can do this programatically (sp?) e.g. I run a Powershell or VBScript and it will automatically add those GPO's and make them Active and Link them to the correct groups etc. Thanks

Hey Nick, Sorry to drag up an old thread, But was wondering if you could update the download link as it does not seem to be working here at the moment. Thanks

Where is the "Like" button @Edu-IT, But yes overall RM networks are a piece of p**s to run when it all works and are very good if you have more important things to get on with. However obvious stuff like a good knowledge of the server OS and features is essential. But congratulations anyhow.

Thanks but it does not do quite what I wnat in the fact it does not set up the home folders etc and would prefer a script that I can run and edit each time. Thanks Charlie

Hello there, I know this has been asked before but I just can not find the answer I am looking for at the moment, What I want is a VBScript or Powershell script that when run will create a User in the AD in the correct OU, Add it to the correct groups, fill in all of the required fields like Name, Username, Password, Adress, email etc and create there Profile and Work folders as well as set it to Map X:\ to there Work folder and finally set the permissions on those folders so only that user and Administrators can access that work. Does anybody have a full working solution to that or can point me in the right direction. P.S. I dont mind having to edit the script each time for a different user. Thanks all, Charlie

Hello all, I have decided to move from CC4.3 to Vanilla and was wondering if some pepole could help, I have been playing around on a test VM of Win2k8R2 and set up a clean domain some OU's etc and added all the Group Policy Prefences that I wnat and have tested them and they are working secure etc and was wondering is there a way I can export them from the Virtual Machine adn import them into the new Physical one I setup as I do not want to have to go through it all again. Thanks. Charlie

Hello, I'm fairly new to VB and have been trying to make a few scripts and would really appreciate some help here please. For the first script I have done no work on yet and do not know what to do so if anyone can make it or help me make it, it would be appreciated, What I want it do is to create 2 partitions on Disk0 and assign them a specified drive letter and format them to NTFS.....BUT... what I would like it do is to use a percentage of the free space e.g. Partition1 would use 60% and be Drive D:\ and Partition 2 would use 40% and be Drive E:\, if you sort of understand. The next script is a long script that writes to a text file and it reboots in the middle however how do I get it so that when it reboots, it a) opens back up that logfile and can write to it .... and b) go to where is left off Also when using diskpart how do you get it to add the disks and format them as well ?? Thanks in advance

Hello, What happens if you try running the installer manually (Log in as SystemAdmin and then run it) Copy it across locally to the HDD as well, Also what OS, XP (SP2 or SP3) or 7 etc.... Thanks

I belive you have to make a new build disk. That is how I have done it, in the past

Something that may not apply to you but did not see it mentioned, No Food and Drinks in the IT Rooms or by the PC's and nobody in the IT Rooms at Breaks or Lunch without a teacher present or explicit permission. There 2 we have here but may not apply to you.

What version of the RMC3IEngine do you have (My knowledge of CC3 is rusty) Try uninstallng it on the server and reinstalling and the same for the clients affected, Otherwise log a Support Call with RM as they WILL know or at least will help you fix it, Otherwise restore from a backup that worked !!

is there a .NET Framework Package for 2.0 or 1.1 on RM sites as per like there CC3/CC4 ones as im in search for one, as I have an old app taht for some reason does not work very well with .Net FX 3.5SP1 but works fine with .Net 2.0. Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a 64 bit version of RM Visual Studio dotNet C Runtime as I can only find a 32bit version and it seems to be causing a few problems ...... Thanks

DWN2269819 is the Article ... Require a Support Contract Installation is over 500mb by the way .....

Ahh sorry I was not making much sense, I run here about 70% Windows 7 Clients and the rest are XP. What I meant was that I was rolling outto the Windows 7 Clients Service Pack 1 which RM Released the other day ... Sorry for any confusion WMP 11 was given as they said I needed it for Windows XP and Vista should I Use it, On a side note, Does CC4 have Wallpapers like CC3 did as I have just found out they do !!! All this time I have had a custom image set for everyone ... If they do who knows what package installs them and where they are ... Its not a huge problem as I like our custom wallpaper I just want to see what the CC4 ones are like ! Cheers

They said the reason why I was given WMP11 was it is used on XP and that thing called Vista ??? Apparently it was a standard package and there was a minor bug in the Server Build that allowed it to be run not copied so they said because that was there fault they will replace it, The same again for the first package they gave to me "USB Fix" they said there was a bug in the build .... Thanks for the advice Michael I will do that today as it is just beyond a joke now !!

Well that got me somewhere ... they have given me 1 package now .... and it was one I never even ha don my list to get Windows Media Player 11.0 (YAY ... Lets get rid of VLC now ..... puhhhhh) Honestly the How are we doing Survey reply came through yesterday and they said it was beyond there control and that if Support are not giving it to me then there must be a valid reason as of which they still have not told me .... It is starting to become really annoying now, I have decided to come in this morning to roll out the new Station Delivery Update and Windows 7 SP1 in hope that it will fix the Drive Mappings and Printer Issues, But this is just getting un-real now .... Well at least I can now watch a film on WMP11 whilst waiting for them .... Thanks RM !!

They need to update their site then, Funny you should mention complaining, I log in and what do I get "How are we doing ...." annoying but now rather well timed survey Lets see how they like that then, Last time i got one of them I got a reply within 24 hours so hopefully Monday this will be sorted out otherwise I will take it even higher again!!!

Nope no explanation, RM constantly say it was my fault, even though when the server was first built I had to get the Server.ini replaced as it "mysteriously" disappeared after build along with everything else in C:\$RMINST$\ I don't want to point the finger at anyone but our engineer did delete quite alot of things and the other thing is I know they should be there ! Also its not as if I am asking much from RM I only want 6 things from RMHolding and 4 from RMPackages and none of them I should not be given as they are core packages, I have spoken to our Account Manager who said she would "Look into it", and unfortunately none of them except for 1 are in Repoman either which is annoying. Also on the note of this when I first got CC4.3 I had to import alot of regular CC4 packages into the RMMC as they did not contain the XML files it was about 20 of them in total and its all basics like Assembly Loader, File Transfer etc ...... (I can't name them all) I just do not know what to do besides keep on complaining as I would like to get it before Wednesday like mentioned earlier but its not looking good, Because other than that I would be singing CC4.3's Praises as it is a much better build than regular CC4.0/1/2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 works so much better with RM than Win2k3 did and has so many more features available. This would be my first major problem with CC4 since I got it which is a shame as it really is good !! Thanks all, Charlie

We have support and have complained up high we just seem to get no where, I have had a call open for 3 weeks and got no where. I just do not know what to as I need the missing packages preferably before my last day at work which is Wednesday. Cheers, Charlie

Sorry if this is the wrong area but I think it is right ! In July we recently upgraded from CC3 to CC4.3 using new hardware domain etc and since then I have found RM to be pretty useless as in the past month I have discovered we are missing a few packages from the RMPackages Share and RMHolding Share that were never given to us which I need now and have since had a support call open with RM who have pretty much refused to do anything about except replace 1 package which they said was there fault, as to which the rest they said was our fault (even though they do not even appear in the first backup tape) I have no idea what to do about this as I keep pressing RM and they refuse to replace them at the moment and it is really annoying me as I need them at the moment and want to get this sorted out with RM, Does anyone know what to do or any advice if you have been in a similar situation. Cheers, Charlie
