Hello, Hopefully someone can help. When one of our students login, all they get is a temporary profile giving them access to the control panel etc. After a few restarts on the same PC everything appears to be working fine. This problem is intermittent but is affecting alot of machines in the school. I have tried the registry fix (removing the .bak entry) and also removing their local account. We do not use roaming profiles for the students. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi @stevenlong1985 Just wanted to say a massive thanks. That worked! Every machine now logs in without issues. Thanks again Respectfully, Ryan

Hi all, Thankyou all so much for your help. @stevenlong1985 I have just applied your settings hopefully this will work on Monday. I will let you know Thanks again and have a great weekend, Ryan

Hello, Bit of a strange issue, we use a custom start menu and desktop for our students. These are shortcuts linked to our server and set out via a GPO. For some reason, when a student logs into windows all they can see is the standard W7 wallpaper with no desktop icons or start menu shortcuts although they can browse the internet and access their files. The strangest issue is the problem is intermittent, the same student can log onto a different machine and all desktop icons are there but if they log off and back in again they just disappear. I have tried everything from deleting the profile on the local machine copying profile from another PC even restricting the users folder on the C drive. We don't use roaming profiles for the students. Whilst im on the subject, is there anyway I can stop local profiles being saved to each PC? Just clutters everything up. Sorry for the massive paragraph. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ryan

Hello, Thank you so much for all your replies. Apple TV has been a complete nightmare so we have decided to use AirServer (20 licenses for just under £51) You can download a 7 day trial from AirServer - The game console for Mac/PC has arrived it seems to work for us just waiting on our finance depart to purchase the licenses now.

Hello Thanks for the replies. Sorry I should of been clearer, its Red, Yellow and white connector and the only other connection on the projector is VGA im afraid. Thanks again Ryan

Hello, Has anyone purchased an Apple TV and successfully connected it to a RCA input? We need to link our Apple TV to a projector but it only has a RCA connection. I have purchased several HDMI to RCA but none have worked. Thanks. Ryan

Your amazing. Thanks John. I was looking in the admin section rather than the front end. Thanks again. Ryan

Hi John Thanks for the reply. I have looked for this option but cannot find it anywhere. Would it be possible to point me in the right direction. Sorry for sounding stupid. Thanks again. Ryan

Good Morning. Hoping someone can help. We are moving all of our subject files over to My Big Campus and as you can imagine there is a ton of files and folders. The only way I have managed to download all our subject folders is though "Export to FRG" but I cannot find anyway of opening them. Tried 7Zip, WinRar but no joy. I really hope I dont have to go though each subject and download them one by one. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards, Ryan

Hello again, Sorry feel abit stupid now. Just been sent these instructions via email and it has worked. I hope someone else will find it useful: In a GPO that applies to that computer, add the following setting: Computer Settings Administrative Templates System Logon Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon - Enabled After you set that (and allow the GPO to replicate if you're in a multi-DC environment), do a "gpupdate /force /boot" on the subject PC. It will reboot and you should see the software installation occur

Hello all, Not sure if anyone can help me but I have spent hours on this and im banging my head against a brick wall. I am trying to roll out the useragentx86.msi and UserAgentServerID.mst. I have followed everything though 100% as per the lightspeed user guide but once I perform a GPUPDATE /FORCE Server 2008 throws out a error "the group policy client side extension software installation was unable to apply" The server asked for a reboot which I have done but none of the PC's within the domain are getting the user agent. If I apply a manual update this works fine but I don't really fancy doing this to over 1,000 different units. I have also tried applying a login script using VBS but still no joy Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

mac_shinobi - you are a genius. Thankyou so much. This is a huge help

I think I may have fixed it using a very long winded way round: To seprate the year I used: =REPLACE(A4,1,2,"") To remove the full stop, in the next cell I used: =SUBSTITUTE(E4,"."," ") Then to split the first name: =LEFT(G4,FIND(" ",G4)-1) and finally the surname: =RIGHT(G4,LEN(G4)-FIND(" ",G4)) Now to concatenate. Wish me luck. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks pcstru, 12 is the year of entry so I basically need to remove the year and just have the students username split into a first and surname. So far I have managed to remove the year using =REPLACE(A5,1,2," ") but no joy in replacing the full stop with a space. Thanks again for your help.

Good morning all. I hope someone can help me. Over the summer holidays I need to add a first name and a surname of many students into our active directory. Rather than go though each student and manually type the names I thought I would create a excel document and use the DSMOD USER command although I have bumped into a slight problem. Does anyone know how to separate the username into a first and surname? For example: Username: 12james.smith I need the above to change to James Smith I have used the formula =LEFT(A17,FIND(”.“,A17)-1) but no joy. Thanks in advance.
