  1. I am having a problem with a Brother 3040 printer. When loaded onto a computer from the server, with Papercut installed, the only thing that will print is a Test Print. If a user sends anything else, Papercut logs the print, the data light flashes on the printer, the printer motor whirrs, and nothing comes out. If however I load a local TCP-IP printer port on the machine and load the printer using the same drivers, it prints. Any ideas?

    Firefox on CC4?

    The msi can also be used to create a CC4 package easily, and your technicians can find instructions on how to add the adm file to the RMCC.
  3. Would vlookup do what you require?
  4. Which version of Office are you using? I know we had an issue with Office 2010 and assessment manager reports until I ran a Microsoft patch.
  5. We had two days when we were in New York, but the highlight was the boat trip around the island. Well worth doing.
  6. We don't allow the running of executables from any removable media.
  7. Do you have any scripts running at log on? Is it possible that one of those is waiting for a response, and hence not closing?
  8. I have a Kindle, and when used alongside a piece of software called calibre I have not yet found a format it will not read - txt, pdf, mobi etc.
  9. Even though I'm now in yorkshire, I still make cawl once or twice a year, in the depths of winter. For the uneducated - cawl is a broth of lamb, root vegetables and leeks.
  10. Congratulations!! Was it you on Daybreak this morning then?
  11. I have 60 macs (imacs and macbooks) smart cliented in this way. I can confirm it works well.
  12. If restricted users can't see a shortcut, and you've distributed it via a program set, then there is a permissions problem preventing it from running. You can create a dummy package then use ACL Detective to create a writeaccess.ini file for that program.
  13. PiqueABoo's suggestion works well in an Exchange environment - I impliment it here, so I assume it would work with live@edu
  14. (24,000/220,000,000)*100=0.0109 Sound right to me...
  15. IE Office 2010 Adobe CS5 Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver Sibelius iMovie Also teachers use ActivInspire and SIMS widely.

    RM CC4 & Apple Mac

    Exactly what I've done too - in fact my Win7 image for the Macs is fully patched, up to the point I created the image, with the smartclient files in a folder on the C drive and a shortcut to smartclient.exe on the desktop. They are easier to smartclient than the odd windows machine we need to smart client, due to deploystudio

  18. You can add a new mapping in RMMC - just type in the details you need. It's already populated with the RM servers, but you can add others. This is how we map our SIMS share from a vanilla server.
  19. Is there anyone in the South Yorkshire area running a Thin Client network we could come and have a nosy at? We are currently a CC4 school looking to take the leap to Vanilla and hope to run both fat and thin clients depending on need.
  20. Put =Right(A1, 4) in A1 then drag down so you get =Right(A2, 4) etc. Alternatively, if they are all 6 digit numbers and all have the two leading zeros you could format the cells as custom type 0000.

    RM CC4 & Apple Mac

    I'm still on snow leopard. I assume that if all your workstations are on Lion, then Lion server will be fine.

    RM CC4 & Apple Mac

    When you sysprep a windows installation it automatically runs a mini setup once the image is put onto a new machine - resets the SID and so on. Mac server has workstation manager, so you would need that to manage the macs.

    RM CC4 & Apple Mac

    No, I created a syspreped image with fully patched Windows and the RM Smart client on it, unnamed and not on the domain. I use deploystudio to put on the image, it runs mini setup and then I use Smart client to add it to the domain and rename it.

    RM CC4 & Apple Mac

    You will need to smartclient the windows side, and we have a macmini as a server to manage the mac side of the machines. Use deploystudio to put images of both the MacOS and windows on the machines, and reFIt to allow students to select which OS to use at boot.
  25. if you boot from the usb floppy with cd drivers on into DOS, can you then navigate to the CD ROM? A Windows 98 disk boot floppy might hold the necessary drivers and config.sys file.
