Yup seems absolutely normal to me if the huge wait times have only just started what's changed in the environment? any new drivers? new drivers aren't necessarily better. Ben

Otherwise a security marking specialist who do compounds for different materials and have one for aluminium i.e selectamark. Ben

Sand blasting the school postcode in to the glass would be best Ben

It's the new chocolate phone haha it's funny. Ben

Yeah really different

Try and print lower def images but tbh any file that is printed is spooled into a much larger raw data file that actually gets sent to the printer. Ben

Yeah that'll do it I think they used to do a power only cable you could swap it with as well, newer boards went to usb only which can be a pain. Ben

Can you convert the boards to usb with all except for very very old models it was a case of just plugging in the promethan usb a to usb b cable Ben

Ok so you say you've disabled the domain wide password policy but have you tried setting it to something less restrictive and applying that instead? Ben

It may not be set there look for fine grained password policy. Ben

a: yes b: yes - most of the time but you'll need to check what POE standard the camera supports and have matching switching equipment. Ben

Without managed switches you will not be able to use vlans the only way really would be able to connect the wap's that are providing guest access to their own switch and then get that out via your gateway possibly a small managed switch even a web managed one although it depends on how many waps you want to provide guest access you may have to limit it to certain areas i.e reception. Ben

They are but it's disabled in the bios, solved it this morning well switching hard drive mode to ide from ahci has enabled it to work. Ben

Not yet but thought about it this morning. Ben

Does it now automatically copy the wim to the wds boot folder with that version of mdt then? Ben

Done. Ben

Did you replace the boot image in wds after regenerating it in mdt? Ben

Nope it's usb dvd for pe boot and usb hard drive containing the images. As I said before this is the current setup and worked fine for the desktops I did the other day at the moment I'm concerned with getting this method working on the laptops using the existing images that were capture and then when I get time I will be looking at alternatives. Ben

Thanks for the suggestion but at the moment I have existing Acronis images previously built by other IT staff for their desktop and laptop models, we're looking at SCCM at the moment but I may have to start looking at something for building machines although tbh I'd probably use PXE Server for Windows - Serva for a simple setup. Ben

I've tried several different machines and different usb ports at the moment. I'm wondering if the laptops can't supply enough juice and I meant to bring in a powered hub with me today but forgot will try that tomorrow. Ben

No but he does get his equipment PAT Tested. Ben

Anyone have any experience with this lovely s/w? My current employer uses it for imaging and restoring whole images to machines. I used it absolutely fine last week on half a dozen dekstops but now trying to do the same with some laptops and it's not working. I boot up from either the Linux based media or winpe it doesn't matter select the disk image to restore from a portable hard drive and then go to pick the internal disk I want to restore to but everytime I get an error "the disk is already occupied", I wiped and reformatted the target disk no difference, I can capture an image from the machine and I tried doing that and then immediately to redeploy it and the same error. Acronis tech support are no help. Other ideas? Ben

Probationer alert. I guess Very-PC competitions are good for drawing in new members. Ben
