will do the next lesson is probably enough to see if it works, especially for the appdata folder which was very intermittent

Thanks I think that maybe why mines a bit sketchy sometimes. Just changed it over so will have to see if it helps

I would say your most important thing for video editing would be the gpu and loads of memory. I think your estimates on price are fairly accurate though and you should be able to go for a 1 Gb Raedon HD card or something similar with a decent AMD Phenom or something. My preference would be about 6 or 8 gig memory for video editing.

You can probably modify your batch to include a icacls entry to add the user with full permissions to the relevant folder. Will be something like the following (but this is off the top of my head so probably wrong) icacls {folder} /grant {username}:F so in your csv you can export the users name as well as the folder and target your for loop to to create the directory and then use a second command to collect the username variable for granting the permissions

That seems to be a good comparison site to me. If you look at the detailed breakdown, IE does not score a perfect 4/4, there are some crosses in there. What is convenient however is the way they've grouped the items to get the 4/4. This is marketing but not BS marketing.

I'm guessing you are using the code from this link http://www.edugeek.net/forums/general-chat/36295-anyone-using-xibo.html#post339241 If so then I think you need to change the two height and width values to change the size of the object and the embedded video.

What boards do you have? You mentioned that they are not SMART anymore but whatever you have must have come with software.

In a word... no. You might be able to work around this with a scheduled task. I'm not sure though as I've never used one. What exactly are you trying to do?

I use the WiseSoft Account Management Spreadsheet Account Management Spreadsheet which will create the home folders for you (and through a spreadsheet too so you can use any name for the folder name). edit: beaten to it again. Must type faster

OK. I didn't realise that all dates had to be in there. It's fine now

Try on a set of test folders first but you might need something like this Save the following as inherit.bat and replace the relevant server folder info FOR /r "tokens=*" %%G in ('dir /ad /s /b "\\server\share"') do icacls %%G /T /C /Grant {Your User or Group}:F(OI)

That looks great. This new look is actually starting to grow on me

Take a look in the options on that spreadsheet on the add users page. One of the options I have is 'create work areas'. It seems that as long as you have enough permissions on the server the folders are created with this option ticked. (you can even specify the ntfs permisions). There is a dll that needs to be registered for this to work I think. It comes with the spreadsheet and needs to be in System32 (or SysWOW64 on a 64 bit)

I've just gone back to the WiseSoft spreadsheet and mine will now create the directories. I added myself to the root of the home folders with full permissions and the folder created no problem. The only thing that I don't get now are the user being added to the correct groups but that can be done with active directory users and computers. You could probably restrict this permission to create folders and change permissions only. Home folder has full control for SYSTEM and CREATOR OWNER only apart from my addition today.

I'm sure it still applies but have a look at this thread http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-server-2008/53755-home-folders-renames-my-documents.html If you can find a way to create the desktop.ini file with something like this [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName={users name} IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-112 IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll IconIndex=-235 I don't know how flexible this is though. You may be able to create one .ini file that will get the users info from active directory but I'm not so sure now I've had a look at it closer.

I've used the WiseSoft spreadsheet but since turning to 2008R2 I have not been able to make the program create the folders either. I would guess it has something to do with permissions but as I only use the %username% for the folder name I wasn't too worried. Could you exploit the 'Documents' bug by populating the directories with a desktop.ini with the students names on?

I completely agree. If you want to show that kind of disrespect maybe this forum isn't for you. We all have opinions on everything but there is a time and place for every one of them.

I had a real headache with this. The main reason for such high file sizes was uncompressed .bmp files generated from paint when the kids were bored and images in powerpoint, again not compressed. Once I had deleted/compressed these I gave a quota for each year based on the following: Year 7 35Mb Year 8 40Mb Year 9 50Mb Year 10 75Mb Year 11 110Mb These seem small however with win 7 most file sizes are fairly small and paint no longer saves in .bmp by default. Occasionally I need to increase these limits for graphics students and I always need to increase if they are doing graphics and ict but it keeps the server space at a relative constant. Currently no limit for staff however I am looking to implement something if we go with a moodle vle as most of their docs can be stored there as course content.

I've had this too. Didn't really think too much of it but it does correlate to the SP1 install. I'll race you for a solution . In any case will the "winner" please post answer for the rest of us?

Sorted it. Was not authenticating anonymous access with the app pool

OK got a new install and all is working. Have a strange anomaly on the login screen though. Before first log on I get the screen below. Looks like it can't find the images until first logged on but I'm not sure how to fix this. Any ideas from anyone else. I'll eventually want to customise this page anyway but would be nice to get it working first

Can I ask why? Creating a compatibility list mode should sort that out though
