Maybe I should go for Microsoft, especially because I can I get these for free from the council. I really don't know what do go for... Paul

Hello my IT geeks (including myself), If you were to study for a course, what course would you say is the most useful? I've looked at various, such as ITL, Microsoft, Cisco, etc. Thank you. Paul

Hi guys, I went on holidays when I came back, our electrician/network technician had updated some network sockets. He failed to label these sockets and now I'm left with fully working network points but can'y seem to find where to patch in the comms cabinet. PS: I know some of you are going to say, go logically with the previous network sockets numbering on the trunking, but being this school as it is, nothing really makes logic. I've tried the next ones and they didn't work. Is there any equipment that might help? Thank you Paul

We use the SymWriter at school and works just fine.

Hi guys & gals, In a Windows 2012 with Windows 8 desktops environment, how do I go about to set on the server a group policy, that would allow users of a certain security group modify access to a specific folder on the C drive? So, the intended is that the security group ACL_SIMS has modify access to the folder C:\Program Files\SIMS. Cheers. Paul

Hello, Is anyone having a nightmare with the AirWatch system? Their customer service is slow in answering and now out of the blue we have a limit of calls we can make. Don't know where they got this from. We don't use the extent capabilities of AirWatch. We only use it to push apps on to the devices. Can anyone suggest a simple MDM? Thank you Paul

Firewall in 2003 is disabled. Using LGfL's firewall, but the port 8080 is not being blocked by the Firewall.

Hi guys, I've hit a brick wall.. can't get around this and haven't found much on the web. N:\>portqry -n 10.147.154.57 -p tcp -e 8080 Querying target system called: 10.147.154.57 Attempting to resolve IP address to a name... IP address resolved to helpdesk TCP port 8080 (unknown service): [b]FILTERED[/b] Need to change the FILTERED to LISTENING. I have followed How to configure TCP/IP Filtering in Windows Server 2003 without any success, it's still displaying FILTERED. This is a Windows 2003 with RM CC4 installed. Any ideas? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee!! Thank you Paul

Any news on LGfL network? I'm trying to get it to work on two of our servers and the authentication never arrives? Any tips?

Well, if you do, let me know your TAG, so I can add you as a friend.

If you liked the Anno series, then you'll love this game! Been playing it for 6 months now... and still addictive.

Anyone here plays Anno Online? http://en.anno-online.com/en/play

I had this issue before and it was usually to do with the printer drivers.

You are most right, Sir! :-)

37.5 hours is 7 and half hours a day. If I start at 8am, plus 7 and half hours I should be finishing at 3.30pm. Does this mean we have 2 hours lunch break? And who would want 2 hours lunch break? Normally eat in 30 minutes or less...

Only 25 annual leave days, plus 2 after 5 years? I have 28, plus 5 after 5 years.

Just in case anyone is having problems, this is what you need to fill in on your domain control panel. Here is an example on Namesco Control Panel: Name: _autodiscover._tcp Priority: 0 Weight:0 Port: 443 Result: mail.lgflmail.org I hope this helps someone...

Hi, I have 3 domains at school and my laptop is standalone. Is there a way I can resolve all domain names on my laptop from these 3 domains? Everytime I need to logon (VNC) I need to resolve the name on the server so I can find IP address and then remote to the desktop. It would be so much easier if I my laptop could translate the names. Thank you. Paul

I've done a tutorial on how to force a screen resolution on all CC4 computers. How to Force Screen Resolution on CC4 on all Desktops I hope you enjoy it.

This 'How To' teaches you how to force all your school computers to a defined screen resolution. You can tweak this 'how to' if for example you only want certain people to use predetermined graphic resolution or groups of computers. It is all up to you! First thing is first, RM does not support natively any way of forcing a graphic resolution. It is also not advisable by Microsoft to force it through GPO, because every computer has their own graphics card with different specifications. Saying this, if you have a homogeneous network, where the majority of your computers have the same hardware configuration, then this 'how to' is for you. 1. SetRes You'll need to download this nice little program called setres.exe. You can either Google or Bing it, or you can go to Miscellaneous utilities by SeDivY and download it here. 2. Copy You will need to unzip the file and copy the setres.exe file to your server. I recommend you copy it to the NETLOGON folder. So open your \\server\netlogon folder and copy the setres.exe file there. 3. Unblock Right-click the setres.exe file. Once the properties window opens, on the General tab, right at the bottom click the 'Unblock' option. http://content.screencast.com/users/Marsupy/folders/Jing/media/d327131e-b675-40e4-816e-8c4c3611d9f0/setres_properties.png 4. RMMC Open and login with systemadmin to your RMMC console on the server. 5. Software Restrictions Policies On the RMMC, expand the Software and click on Software Restriction Policies. At the top click on the File Rule option and then 'Add...'. Click on the 'File name' box and type \\server\netlogon [enter]. This should take you to the netlogon location of your server, where you have the setres.exe file. Select the setres.exe file. 6. Description & Rule On the description write 'Set Resolution' and on the rule confirm the option 'Allow this file to be run' is selected. http://content.screencast.com/users/Marsupy/folders/Jing/media/7392e6e6-6085-472b-88d4-14c723a61702/2014-08-20_0748.png 7. Registry Expand the Registry Policies and then User Policies. Expand Global and then All Users. [This is the stage where you can tweak.] 8. Software Restrictions On the 'Software Restrictions' option verify the 'Disable the command prompt' is unticked. [This could be an issue for pupils? You will need to decide on this.] 9. General Click on the General and tick and expand the 'Specify programs to run after logon'. Click on the 'Add...' On the Name type: Set Resolution On the Value type: \\server\netlogon\setres.exe 1024 768 [The values of 1024 768 can be changed to whatever you want to force the screen resolution. The 'server' is of course your server name.] http://content.screencast.com/users/Marsupy/folders/Jing/media/299b0447-0a2a-485b-8257-420474b7a3f0/2014-08-20_0746.png 10. All Done You will need to restart the computers you've applied this and it should work wonderfully. ISSUES You could possibly encounter issues with UAC. RM has a TEC articles showing how to disable UAC on CC4. If you are having any problems, just PM me and I'll do all I can to help you.

jaf, It worked perfectly!!!

Reply from RM Support: "Hi Paul. unfortunately as you say [TEC article] that relates to CC3. There is no method of doing this natively in CC4. You can run them native in Windows but it is not supported by RM." Fantastic. I can't believe that no one has accomplished running an exe/bat file at startup logon on a CC4 network.

Shame that TEC article is for CC3 network. Doesn't quite work the same on CC4.2.

Hi foofighterjim, Thanks for that. I got everything up to point 3, but the 'Add the file; General > Specify programs to run after logon I didn't understand. Say I have a file called abc.bat, located on the NETLOGON folder (\\servername\netlogon), which actually points to an executable file abc.exe at the same location. What would I need to write on the Name and Value boxes? Ta.

Hello, As anyone had success in executing a batch file (.bat) from the netlogon on a RM CC4.2 network? I need to run a batch file for all users when they logon, but I'm finding hard to find information on RM on how to do this, although quite a few of their TEC articles say it is possible, but no indication on how to accomplish. Thank you.
