I have a procurve, will investigate also

Hi, I have a few servers here, and the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service is running as NT Authority\NetworkService on some and LocalSystem on others, I need to work out what its supposed to be running as - google hasn't really helped much with this. Maybe you can help

mstsc /? shows some settings. once you saved the rdp file you can "mstsc noprinters.rdp" (without quotes) and this should do it. Does mean you will need to precreate each RDP file for a server though. Also you could try software called Royal TS, this has many rdp connections in one user interface with independant settings saved. I use it all day, its great

Maybe, Another way is you could save the settings to an RDP file then run that.

Untick the printers on the local resources tab of mstsc the client side. Tis should stop it. See attachment. fooby

:-O i didnt know that

Instead of uniservity, try Moodle. Moodle is an open source course management system.

Has tcp/ip access to mysql been enabled? is this a windows server? have you got MySQL Administrator? I have joomla running here on windows server 2003 mysql5 php5 iis 6 so maybe i can help fooby

I hate that piece of software.... however its powerful enough to be useful sometimes :S

Is there a way to load this at logon somehow? Because if they can't logon, how can they reset their password? Just a thought

You can quickly apply the deny execute special permission to the students group to the home folders, this way they cannot execute software from the home shares. However, setting up software restriction policies is essential, i think i may have gone overkill in my setup of SRP however no one, thats no one can install anything i dont allow

let me test.... Nope, I disabled it on my box here and I can still remote to my servers Graeme p.s. Even if it did break RDP it would only be from places you dont want people to runas so you might not want them to rdp either (students pc's basically )

Disable the secondary logon service net stop "secondary logon" in a startup script or do it on the image. This means it cannot run at all (also for other management things they can't do this either) fooby

Or google for Quicktime Alternative, then you just get the codecs and no crap.

shame

Well looking at what the program does it seems to grant users acccess to the INF files, the one i think it does here is USBSTOR.INF maybe this is all thats needed to be changed, and maybe there is a "USBIMG.INF" (i made that name up it isnt a real INF) maybe there are more .INF files that need full access granted to them. If you read the autoit script in notepad you can sort of see what is happening. HTH

I used NovaT4 and exported a list Admission No, FirstName, SecondName, Yeargroup, Form / Tutor Then in Excel made dsmod user "CN=1234,OU=Students,OU=CollegeUsers,DC=xxxx,DC=xxxx,DC=sch,DC=uk" -fn Joe -ln Bloggs -display 1234 -office 11AA This way on copying it back to a text file I had 1300 lines and ran it ok The Excel Sheet is attached to mod for your playing. Please rename it from .TXT to .XLS

This isn't the usual how can I import users from a text file this time I already have 1300 users, and I want to import extra data for each of these. For example Joe Bloggs is on active directory under his user number 12345. number 12345 is his admission number in SIMS therefore I have exported a text file with the fields Admission Number, Forename, Lastname (and a few more like address) How, if any way, can I import this to the currently existing user accounts? Thanks p.s i have the free IIFP installed http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d9143610-c04d-41c4-b7ea-6f56819769d5&DisplayLang=en this is little brother of MIIS http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/miis2003/default.mspx

Think I will set a daily backup untill we get a replacement ........

It is now working which is good, however I can see some capacitors with the stuff coming out the top, which probably isnt good. Thanks for all the replies.

Panic over, after unplugging it all for about 10 minutes, reseating the processor. It works.

Hi, Overnight the webserver here died, when you switch it on, the fans run for about 1 or 2 seconds then all switches off, is this a diagnose'able symptom? The board is an intel server board s875wp1-e it has a weird custom power supply, made by en-light. Sata controller and 4 sata disks. Any more info ill post it. thanks fooby

Hmm, I thought so. We have a Joomla website on IIS6 on Win2003. I was hoping to pass the problem to IIS not mod joomla, however I can search for a RSS thing that supports proxies, when I looked before I couldn't find one. thanks fooby

The proxy is the standard proxy.town.county.sch.uk:8080 provided by the SWGfL. The gateway for the IIS is our internal router address, as are all the other pc's in the lan. IIS just doesnt seem to use the IE proxy settings, also proxycfg doesnt seem to help. I have managed to work around temporarily using wget for windows, however its awkward as I want to use RSS feeds and currently have to wget the feed daily.
