We have hardwood windows with a single glazed hardwood door. The door is drafty , we just have a big thick curtain to pull accross and that makes a masive difference. Rob

The UPVC doors should seal properly without foam draught excluder, it may be that the door and latches needs adjusting for proper closure. Unfortunatly it may be time to risk calling a window and door company to service and adjust the door. At which point they will tell you "Ahh , it's and old petersonfandanglewidgit style hing with fungrumblebebo locking, best upgrade to this #pulls out brochure# one with 83 point locking, 8x thermo rated letterbox and ding dong anouncment chime... We can do it as a package with new windows for those old ones you have........." A good locksmith will probably be able to make adjustments too. Rob

Why not use the native IPad Sims Client? Ya know, the one that management must belive exists as it's an apple and it can do anything... Oh hold on, it's a consumer device not a business device.. But on a serious note, if you have never tried using RDP or any other remote session from a touch tablet then be prepared for a dissapointing experience. And using a product like full blown SIMS is goin to be quite awkward and the potential for mistakes to be made is much greater than on a proper device. We are going to look at PARS connect as it's designed to interface with mobiles. We had Emerge at our sister site but it got dropped for some reason. Rob

It's about 10 years since I played with either thinstation or ltsp.. May have another look at thinstation. Rob -
That's why many many Schools don't do it. And by the time you have spoken to the business manager for half an hour, got the admin staff to send out letters, totted every other intangiable up then you will loose money. So if it's about making money think long and hard. If it's about correct disposal then look for a computer recycler who will do all the hard work for you. Rob

How much is your time, how many can you get through checking them, wiping them, building them, doing the paper work working with finaince on the paper work, taking money, processing, dealing with the customer, finding the software. £25 is only worth £25 if that's the end proffit. Rob

You need to find out how the autoconfigure is being delivered, and then work out what "Autoconfigure" is setting up. It may be that Autoconfigure is pointing at something different to the TMG and TMG is having DNS or other issues. Rob -
Repurpose PCs as thin clients

Hardware failure wise, unless you go diskless then a hardware failure will be the same regardless of FAT/THIN We just use the orignial OS on it's original HDD with the OS Set in Kiosk mode. then connect with Citrix reciver. If A HDD fails we can chuck in a spare. We just pulled 110 of our thin HP laptops ( installed new thin terminals. ) We envisage that these 3 yr old machines will provide spare parts for a further 3 or more years on the remaining 190 thin laptops and their 150 fat counterparts..

Is this to make money? 1) if it has a COA sticker then you can re-install the operating system on the sticker. Else Linux. 2) Must be datawiped. Things to consider. 1) if they are paying for it and it goes wrong what are you going to do when they come to you? 2) if they get linux and can't use it and come to you what are you going to do? 3) it will need to be electricaly tested befor transfer. 4) if giving them linux how will you make it useful to them 5) what happens if they dump it in a skip in 18 months and the waste management company finds your school details on it. It's a MineField. we wanted shot of a batch of staff laptops. they got them for £1 and were told never to darken our door with any question at all about them what so ever. They were also told that the units could never be sold on and should end life being recyled in accordance with the WEEE directive. Rob

Also, who's proxy are you using? How is client DNS handled? Were clients previously able to resolve DNS , and can they still do so? Rob -

If you do have to policies in force on the same car, you should in theory tell both insurance companies of a claim but indicate that there is also another policy in force. Then they need to work it ot between each other to split the pay out. I use Multicar insurance so adding and removing cars is not so much of a problem. Rob
