That's what I have been told, yes.

bump...

In some cases i'm seeing uses with very large profiles. Investigation shows that AppData within their profile includes local and LocalLow, which should be excluded from copying with the profile. I've pushed out a registry fragment via GPO which should prevent this: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "ExcludeProfileDirs"="AppData\\Local;AppData\\LocalLow;$Recycle.Bin;OneDrive;Work Folders" But it's still happening. We are running Windows 10 LTSB. It's not happening to everyone, but I'm having trouble pinning down anything in common with those affected. Any ideas?

Currently I have the share for user areas at the containing folder level - so \\server\$\%username% Now, mainly due to having to do things the way our new MAT wants us to, I need to set the share at the username level - \\server\%username%$. Is there a simple script I can run that will add all the new shares, but keep the existing ones in place until we switch GPOs across?

Remote apps? We have a RDweb server, and SIMS works well as a remote app.

No, they have issued a new plugin - we found out when a load of exams failed with "plugin not found" even though the plug-in I had downloaded earlier worked. I had to download and deploy the new one.

A2C worked flawlessly on the Exam Officer's PC when we were on Windows 7, but now we're on WIndows 10 we can only run it as administrator. I'm sure I'm missing a permission somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find out where. The exam officer has exactly the same permissions to the network share where we've located Examin and examout as she had on WIndows 10, applocker allows her to run the A2c executable, but I've missed something. Any ideas?

i just reimage them annually.

Try this one - not mine, someone here wrote it for me years ago. /* * Request user for grayscale/color printing * */ function printJobHook(inputs, actions) { /* * This print hook will need access to all job details * so return if full job analysis is not yet complete. * The only job details that are available before analysis * are metadata such as username, printer name, and date. * * See reference documentation for full explanation. */ var CONVERT_MESSAGE = 'Your job contains colour pages. Would you like to convert your job to grayscale? Selecting "No" will print the job in colour, Selecting "YES" will change the job to greyscale.'; if (!inputs.job.isAnalysisComplete) { // No job details yet so return. return; } if (inputs.job.isColor) { /* Color job, ask the use if they want to print. */ if (inputs.client.isRunning) { // User is running the client software. Ask if they want to convert to grayscale or cancel. var response = actions.client.promptYesNo(CONVERT_MESSAGE); if (response == 'NO') { actions.log.debug('User chose to keep on printing in color'); } else if (response == 'TIMEOUT') { actions.log.debug('Dialog timed out, canceling job.'); actions.job.cancel(); } else { actions.log.debug('User chose to convert their job to grayscale.'); actions.job.convertToGrayscale(); } } else { actions.log.debug('Canceling job due to high number of color pages and user not running client software.'); actions.job.cancel(); } } } if they select yes, it continues in greyscale, no and they get colour

I only have one version installed. All machines are newly imaged, with the latest version of ActivInspire installed during the build.

No, the file extension is .flipchart

No icon anywhere pointing to another version of the program. They are clicking on a saved file, not a shortcut

I've tried running one of our oldest flipcharts having amended the ini file, and I don't get the prompt. I'll push it out, and see if it helps our end users.

There is an Admin.ini - where can I find the tool?

Windows 10 LTSB. The machines have all just been imaged and ActivInspire loaded as part of the build. We are using version 2.6.66568. I did log this at prometheanworld a few days ago, but heard nothing back

When a teacher double clicks on a flipchart file they get the error message "A newer version of this program is already installed on this computer. If you wish to install this version please uninstall the newer version first" Clicking OK simply closes the dialogue box. If they open ActivInspire first they can open the flipchart, but many find this too complicated. Why is this happening, and how do I stop it?

i can find lots of posts about this, but no solutions. we have one printer with unsigned drivers, the others are all signed. We cannot deploy that printer by GPO or GPP. How do I get this printer to deploy. The Art department are (understandably) going mad.

Bumping this, cos I've only got tomorrow to sort it.

Made the leap to profile manager (enforced, my old mac server died). I am trying to enrol the iMacs into it. I'm doing so manually, so on each machine I navigate to the my devices website, authenticate, and click enrol. About half the machines enrol and accept the profile I've set up. The other half put in a placeholder, and nothing changes on the machine. Why? What am I missing on the half that fail? I can see no logical reason for it.

I doubt I've scratched the surface of what it can do - details can be found here: https://psrightclicktools.codeplex.com/documentation

+1 for right click tools, great little utility.

hard quotas on deduplicated volumes are only not supported on the root of the drive. you can create subfolders and hard quota them; https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831700.aspx

Yes, but you can use WMI rules to determine membership of a device collection, so it can be based on OU or, for example, membership of a security group. This is helpful: https://blog.thesysadmins.co.uk/sccm-2012-creating-device-collections.html

yes, available puts it in the Software centre, ready to be pulled down to the machine, required forces it to install.
