I use it mainly for inventory purposes but I'm looking at getting the helpdesk going to replace our ageing system that no-one uses effectively. It links nicely into active directory so no-one has any 'I've forgotten my password' excuses.

I'll agree with that. If anyone knows of any I'd be interested too

This looks like it could hold your answer but would need to be a vbscript that the users would have to download. IE - Automatically Detect Settings - SOLVED Almost at the bottom of this page is a script that will turn off or on the checkbox. I would guess you could incorporate this into activex maybe to make it more seamless with the page but as i've never done this so i would probably just make it something they have to run

If you've not done so already try disabling the firewall. Apart from that no ideas sorry

Related to this what can I do if some of my switches are on an unknown subnet?

I seem to remember you could force a specific screensaver but as we are running server2008 now I can't look it up anymore. The server2008 gpo's have it as a user policy under control panel\personalisation (sorry personalization as it's american)

Thanks. Got a scan going now in "the Dude". hopefully this will show something @terrorvis. I tried to do that but got a web page not found error. I'm wondering whether it maybe a student running a DHCP server on a laptop just to p*** me off. Some of our kids are just too clever for their own good

It appears that I have a second DCHP server dishing out IP addresses on my network. I think it must be a wireless router of some sort as the addresses I'm getting are in the 192.168.1.0/254 range. Is there any way i can trace the offending object with software in as much as work out what switch it is connected to as a search of the school has not provided any such devices. I know of one such router that we have that supplies the network admin staff with internet in order to bypass the filtering but this has been working quite happily for over a year now (and i've tried with it off and get the same results) and the problems have started in the past week. Failing tracing the device is it possible to get my domain machines to only look for DHCP leases from one server?

@ittech You may need to check if your mapped network drive is available for the administrator. I disabled UAC while i installed and then reenabled afterwards @jcollings System manager is still a 16bit app and so not supported on win7. Capita are still making the conversions to 32bit for some of the modules but i'm sure they will get there before win7 goes mainstream

You can try to use case statements for the year groups so instead of If objGroups.Name = "Year 1" Then objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Spring-iwb01\Year1" objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Spring-iwb01\Year1" ElseIf objGroups.Name = "Year 2" Then objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Spring-iwb02\Year2" objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Spring-iwb02\Year2" etc it would read Select Case objGroups.Name Case "Year 1" objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Spring-iwb01\Year1" objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Spring-iwb01\Year1" Case "Year 2" objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Spring-iwb02\Year2" objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Spring-iwb02\Year2"

No problem for me download link pointed to this file ljp2015pcl5vista2k2008xp2003.exe

I am trying to get LanView4 client deployed across the whole school but I can't get the shipped version of VNC to run on a non-default port. This is necessary as I run ITalc for the teachers in the IT Suites but I want LanView so that I can use the IAM for blocking internet. Can I transform the standard client msi to not install VNC at all or can I do something to change the port. Changing the winvnc.ini file did not help by the way.

I have installed lanview4 server and it's working fine with most of the client computers but is there any way of customising the install to run vnc on a different port. I have ITalc installed in the student computer suites as many of the teachers use it and in these rooms the computers complain that vnc is already running. I have tried changing the .ini file in the ultravnc folder but it only seems to work for the app not the service. Any help on where i can change the port for the service greatly received. Thanks

That's a novel way to give your teacher an apple. Not sure i'd want to eat it now though

used to work as dell hardware tech. still have some of the dismantling manuals. what laptop model is it. most have a couple of screws underneath labelled with a k

That sounds like a brilliant idea. There are way too many ambiguities in English regarding plurals. I must admit that I use mouses myself much to the displeasure of the ICT teachers who seem intent on teaching the subject with mice anyway. Maybe you could apply this unusual plural logic to other peripherals such as keybi and printa

I had the same problem but was able to run sims as administrator first time to solve it. However it seems that the network drives are not connected for the impersonated administrator account so I had to browse for the file in order to connect the drive. Sims does work flawlessly after this first config though.

What keyboards do you have. I've found some students swapping key blocks with a blank plate that used to house power off, sleep, standby keys so that you think you are pressing del but you are actually pressing power off. Been trying to find an image to illustrate this but can't at the moment. I can take a photo to clarify if you wish

The second machine will need to be running the fog nfs server so that the two machines can communicate. You will need to put linux on I think. I've not tried this yet but I think instructions are on the wiki. Look under Adding NFS node

I had this recently but it was folder permissions not file. Check if the folders are set to read only or take a look at the bottom of this ms article How to troubleshoot errors when you save Excel files

I've just started looking into this myself. There are loads of good open source solutions out there. I run a lot of portable apps from a central sever which saves having to install applications on the individual comps. You could try looking into some of these. Free Portable Software USB Flash Drive Applications | Pendriveapps Seems to work very well in my set up here.

I had a similar problem. It was related to encryption of the password in the sysprep.inf answer file i think. If you don't encrypt it see what results you get. See above sorry took too long to post obviously

New version of ultra VNC does though Download UltraVNC: Remote Support Software, Remote Support tool,Remote Desktop Control, Remote Access Software, PC Remote Control

If you haven't already try whitelisting fronter. We had to do this on our Cache Pilot to help the speed.
