I've found this page How to Reset Available Remaining Rearm Count in Windows 7 » My Digital Life And this section is what you need

What are the exact errors you are getting? If they are permission denied errors then try adding everyone read permissions and see if it works then you can restrict it after it's working. You might need to add domain computers or give network service permission.

Just a quick update on this. All is well. Computers go to sleep after 3 mins with no one logged in and never when someone is logged in. Students are automatically logged off after 20 minutes and staff after 1 hour 30 of inactivity but screens lock after 20 mins (yes staff forget to log out too thank heavens for locking screensavers)

Would one of these do ACER AL1714 LCD Monitor Power Supply - £22.99 : Power Adapters, UK Mains Adapters, Power supplies UKl

Try the windows key and left or right arrow few times and see if it comes into view then (this just does the side by side snap view)

Thanks for the lol (unless of course you are serious then thanks for the rofl)

A virtual machine with a few snapshots?

Can be done if you turn on auditing of logins but this produces a huge log as it records every time a computer contacts the server for GP updates and every time any login activity occurs for any user

Does anyone know if this is still true with new new licensing model for schools

Don't think I'd have many customers if I charged that much per hour

What else do you want to know. sukh's post is fairly comprehensive so I think you'll need to be a little more specific

I've found that if you run the installers silently then they don't complain about the date they just install. Might be worth a look as I've occasionally missed the regional settings for Default Profile when building images and this helped. I was fed up with the fussyness of the installers and so I built SIMS into the staff image. Meant I only had to do it once then. Not sure about updates though but we'll see.

My bad Completely misunderstood that.

Not quite true rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0 will put the computer into sleep. A value other than zero will result in hibernation.

All windows 7. They currently have a sleep time of 45 minutes and WOL is enabled to wake them just before a shutdown at the end of the day. Do you know whether GPP is just that (a preference) so that it will return to a previous state when the user logs off?

Now that idea I like. It already logs them off after 20 mins of no activity (Using Impero policies). Could I do this with Group policy preferences instead with different settings for machine and user?

I have been approached by a group of students from our eFutures initiative to try and reduce the power consumption of our computer suites. They've noticed that they remain on during lessons when they are not used and so want to see if I can put them into standby when a user logs off. At first I thought this would be as easy as running a logoff script but that put the computer to sleep during the logoff process and when the computer was brought back the user logoff process had crashed. Has anyone managed to get this to work successfully, maybe with a scheduled task instead. I've found this script as well but I can get it to run as a student as yet as I get an undisclosed error and it just terminates. '** Script Name: "standby-hibernate.vbs" ** Option Explicit On Error Resume Next Dim strComputer, sUserName, bLoggedOn, bReboot, objWMIService, colComputer, objComputer Dim bStandby, objShell, sComputerName strComputer = "." Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colComputer = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem") Do While sUserName <> "null" For Each objComputer in colComputer sUserName = objComputer.UserName sComputerName = objComputer.Name If sUserName <> "null" Then bLoggedOn = True End If Next Loop If Err = 0 Then If bLoggedOn Then WScript.Echo sComputerName & " is not Logged Off." bStandby = False Else WScript.Echo sComputerName & " is Logged Off." bStandby = True End If Else WScript.Echo "Error accessing computer: " & strComputer bStandby = False End If On Error Goto 0 WScript.Echo "bStandby: " & bStandby If bStandby = True Then WScript.Echo "Going into standby..." 'Go to standby objShell.run "%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe Powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0", 0, False Else WScript.Echo "Not going into standby..." End If Any suggestions?

It can sort of be done. Take a look at the file below. Uses an IF statement to sort boy or girl and SUM for the key Sort M and F.xls Above is much easier. I missed that one

You can do this is Access with a duplicates query but I'm guessing you want Excel to do it and I'm not entirely sure if its possible (at least I've not been able to do it in the ten minutes I've had so far) I'll keep trying and let you know hopefully without making the 2010 spreadsheet incompatible with 2003

Alternatively we have our support direct with Capita as it has also been excellent. I would just think of service times when looking to change as ultimately the support comes from Capita anyway who pass it down to the LA who in turn pass it down to you. This is why we don't want to move away from direct support as it could take an extra day or two before a response is received.

I used the guide here Deploying Windows 7 - Part 1: Windows AIK 2.0 Enhancements and I'm using the MDT Database to name computers. Had spiceworks to export the mac addresses though so that made it a bit easier. If you have the mac addresses of the clients though this is really easy to do and I've managed to get a fully automated install with this

Does that mean I can call myself art (Albeit probably 'bad art') :-)

What type of account is it (Exchange or POP,IMAP) Actually scratch that can only really be exchange There is a setting in there to change it over are you saying this keeps resetting? Mine is set to basic and it keeps the setting. Do you have a policy somewhere that's changing it back

Try this. I set the Group Policy preferences registry entry and all is well Wallpaper via Group Policy and Windows 7
