Sorry to be Captain Obvious... But why use sockets? What we do here is get the trunking with the backbox in the trunking then use - http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1239&doy=search on the top with a 1.5 mtr cable running out to the PC. See the attachment (courtesy of ms paint ) for a clear'er idea. fooby P.S this is loads cheaper too!

We use Net user administrator ****** in a machine startup script. fooby

Webman Is that plugged in to Sharepoint? fooby

Microsoft then promptly pulled the download It is still available for download - however before it was lost forever I grabbed it here. Download here... http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/offers/Details.aspx?displaylang=en&countrycode=USA&offerid=441c2998-248b-49cf-b084-f3a237b58f71 Or see attached. fooby P.S Note to Admin - we might not be able to re-distribute this here after Microsoft officially pull it from their website. mspf10enu.msi

How strange, we had a power cut last night - The UPS's shut everything down ok though

We use the free versions of http://www.gfi.com/mailsecurity/ and http://www.gfi.com/mes/ These are GFI Mailsecurity and Mail Essentials. And we use the Exchange IMF for filtering. Been ok so far here. fooby

I have used PolicyMaker Registry Extension (free!!) and group policies to set the environment variable per OU, this works pretty well (I can post a howto if needed) However I use a utility called psprint (v.hard to find on google I can attach) this has an INI file and takes the part of the computername and adds printers based on this. fooby

What does anyone think about the CompTIA Network+ course? Is this comparable to MCSE's? Is this a well recognised course? fooby

I kept getting loads of Windows Management Instrumentation related errors and such, and found a way to rebuild all of this. net stop sharedaccess net stop winmgmt c: cd %windir%\system32\wbem rd /S /Q repository regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\scecli.dll regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\userenv.dll mofcomp cimwin32.mof mofcomp cimwin32.mfl mofcomp rsop.mof mofcomp rsop.mfl for /f %%s in ('dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %%s for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mof') do mofcomp %%s for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mfl') do mofcomp %%s mofcomp exwmi.mof mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange wbemcons.mof mofcomp -n:root\cimv2\applications\exchange smtpcons.mof mofcomp exmgmt.mof gpupdate /force /boot After running this through (and fixing some other things) I had group policies and things working a lot better fooby

Didnt see this post, however I have a solution to this on this http://edugeek.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3203 fooby

What prices have people got for these sorts of courses? I was looking at the MCSE 2003 and so far have found classroom led courses for £4000. Haven't looked at online courses so far though. fooby

I have a file that i need copied to many destination folders (redirected desktop's) and a startup script hasn't worked. Is there some application? or a script (foreach / for next loop?) that anyone has used that would work? thanks fooby

Hmm don't know really. We were thinking of adding IM to all staff desktops. But really I don't want to provide and instant response - rather have a helpdesk website. Live help means live interruptions all day, mostly i'm there sorting the network I would rather the technicians do the IM however they are off fixing hardware issues elsewhere. I can see teacher to teacher it might be useful though. Having just the head of dept IM'ing me is bad enough..... 170 (ish) staff doing the same? nightmare. fooby

We use that here, well I do and the other ICT teachers. Never really deployed it site wide. Works fine as far as I have tested - LDAP authentication to AD server. Runs on a Win 2003 server with the spark clients on XP. fooby

Parts of both really, some students who I know would properly logoff have come in, and a lot of students just turn their pc's off. Since I implemented it I got so many people come in it was more of a problem for me than it was for them. fooby

I have been running LimitLogon since monday and have disabled it, drove us nuts! so many students coming in all day long saying "hi yea i got a message saying im already logged on" got boring quickly so I dont think we will bother anymore fooby

Hmm no group policy changes recently, Unfortunately, the documents are in the profile (not redirected) so makes resetting them hard (staff profile, lots of junk there) we are working on redirecting the docs at the minute. Looks like I will have to sort the documents / desktop redirection then wipe this users profile out. fooby

### Edit: Should have been clearer, its only one user its happening to ### We are having a weird problem where half the start panel is missing (emulated on the attached graphic) Has anyone seen this weird problem before? fooby

Does any1 know if this config will work? On trying to load the software I get nothing fooby

I knew if I said that I would start something......... I'm more of a Fedora / CentOS person, never really used a Debian based distro. If Karoshi sets up as a print server easily / quickly then thats best for me anyway... any excuse to play with Linux is a good excuse fooby

I just had another thought about this one, and have grabbed Karoshi to see how quick / easy i can do it in there. http://www.karoshi.org.uk fooby

We have many XP clients and a b0rked windows server 2003 print server, never really worked properly. After a bit of googling I haven't found any, but I was wandering if there are any step by step instructions on creating a CUPS print queue and sharing it (via samba?) to the windows clients. Has anybody else done this? thanks fooby

We use reschange here, in logon / logoff scripts. Works well If you can't do logoff scripts, you could do it at logon anyway then the students could change it to their preferred resolution. The next sutdent to logon resets it to 800x600. fooby

Does the server that holds the home folders run windows server2003 r2? If it does then you could set a file restriction on it, so these files cannot be created. fooby
