If you're smart clienting on a CC4 network you have to use administrator, other admin users won't work.

I have 235 desktops and 65 laptops to unpack soon, so if any of your teachers need anything to do...

That is perfect, thank you

Thank you - the pre-defined script is: /* * Color print jobs require user confirmation * * Color printing is expensive so users should be encouraged to print * in grayscale whenever they print in color. No confirmation is required * for grayscale jobs. */ 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. */ 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. The job cost is displayed * prominently to encourage users to consider black and white printing instead. */ var response = actions.client.promptPrintCancel( "This print job is color" + " and costs " + inputs.utils.formatCost(inputs.job.cost) + ". You can save money by printing the job in grayscale. " + "Do you want to print this job?", {"dialogTitle" : "Color print job", "dialogDesc" : "Consider printing in grayscale to reduce costs"}); if (response == "CANCEL" || response == "TIMEOUT") { // User did not respond, cancel the job and exit script. actions.job.cancel(); return; } } }

Anyone?

Could someone cleverer than me point me in the right direction for this script? I want a pop-up to appear when users print in colour, giving them two options - "Convert to Greyscale" and "Continue to print in Colour". There are pre-made recipies which cancel the print if Convert to greyscale isn't selected. but none that allow colour printing if necessary.

Macs can be integrated into an AD structure, which allows logon using AD credentials, and access to their home folder. Look on here for "magic triangle" It's advisable, and easier, to have a mac server to manage the macs. The ipads, as mentioned before, are a totally different issue.

You can get coloured filters for kindles now, which are said to help dyslexia sufferers.

Book1.xlsxTry this - I've generated random numbers between 1 and 10000, ranked them, then used vlookup to return the name in that position on the list - it makes more sense when you look at it!

One of my Techies got poached by the ICT Department and did his GTP here. You would never know he had been a techie now...

We have just replaced our ISA box with a Forefront Threat management gateway box, and have rebuilt all our rules. However, whenever I (it appears not to be doing this for everyone, but I know of about half a dozen who are affected) try to log onto OWA externally I get the mesage that my password has expired, and needs to be changed. I change it, and can access my mail. However, if I log out, and attempt to log back in an hour later, I again get told my password has expired. If I do not change it, I can log on at school successfully, and can access OWA internally without issue. We have a 90 day password life policy. Setting my password never to expire does resolve the issue, but I don't want to do this for staff. I've checked the time on the TMG box, which is acting as an edge transport server, and on the Exchange box, and they are the same.

This month, due to the bank holidays, they have extended that exemption to the 12th.

Sorry, I should of updated - I had to remove watermarking on that printer. I'd like to switch it back on at some point, so I'll keep an eye on updates.

You can exclude a printer from Papercut - you need to add the printer name to a properties file - the help file has clear instructions.

I found turning off watermarking helped when I had a similar problem.

They can e-mail to their school e-mail address from their personal e-mail without restriction, other than our spam filter. We found that most e-mail misuse was students using e-mail to chat during lessons. This effectively put a stop to that. ICT lessons that required them to e-mail each other was fine, as the students get a pop up telling them they are a member of a restricted group and to cc their teacher into the message.

Whenever we denied access to e-mail completely we had subjects complaining that e-mail was essential to the student's learning. I therefore set up a transport rule (Exchange 2007, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't do it on 2010). This rule states that anyone in the mailgroup "restricted users" can not send e-mail to anyone in the group "students" unless they cc in a member of the group "staff".

That's a greetings card - seen in most newsagents.

I've set all configuration at the User level - in disable URL protocol schemes I've added both file and file:/// - belt and braces!

I think I've solved it - I added file and file:// to the block type list, and browsing the c drive, and in fact any other drive now just reverts to the previous web page silently.

I'm currently looking at Chrome as a second browser for users. I've got the Enterprise msi, and it installs perfectly, but as a restricted user, I can type C:\ in the search bar, and see the entire C drive. I have the drive hidden in My Computer. I've tried blocking file://* and c:\ in the GPO options, but no joy. Until I've resolved this we can't deploy it.

2003 server. I'm printing from a client via the server. Printing from the server also fails, although I can print a test page! I've tried the drivers from the Brother site, and the ones on the CD accompanying the printer, which were slightly older. I'll have a look at the firmware update tomorrow.

Watermarking is enabled. I've tried two or three drivers. I've found that enabling "send directly to printer" allows printing, but it appears to have reset itself twice now.

Both Advanced printing features and Bi-directional support have already been switched off, to no avail. I have just found out how to tell PaperCut to ignore the printer, which allows printing, but I don't really want to leave the printer unmanaged for long.
