Thanks rpwillis, I think in the near future we would open the sharepoint out to the internet so that teachers can login to it at home. Would the page viewer solution not work this way?

Thanks unixman_again that worked a treat. I am unsure whether SLT want to simply be able to view them or whether they want to be able to edit and rename documents. If they do then I will look at the software suggested by theScarfedOne

Hi everyone, Please can anybody offer any advice on a SharePoint 2010 web part which will connect to a share on a file server and display the content on SharePoint? I have had a quick google and found a few that state they will do the job but wanted to see if anybody has got any experience of such web part. Any information is greatly appreciated. Regards

no not yet Westfield are still testing it as there have been a few problems

I have ran the report and it shows the following: I am sure my boss has been through this report with TASC and they have said everything is fine.

It is my boss who has been looking at this issue but he is off ill today, I am not 100% certain he has looked at these. How do I go about running these? PARS seems to stop at the same point everytime, it stops when it is creating the PARS.exe.config file.

Cheers for the reply Quackers. Is that from a restart?

Hi everyone! We currently have a situation at our school where the teachers are complaining that PARS takes too long to load in the morning. From our investigation from first boot in the morning PARS does take a while to load and when a say a while 1 minute, but apparently this is too long for teachers to wait! After this first load PARS will open within seconds. Our PC's all run windows 7 and have at least 2GB of RAM and an Intel core 2 duo processor or above. Our server are Server 2008 R2. Please would it be possible for someone with a similar setup to test how long it takes PARS to open on their network? Simply login as a teacher and double click PARS and start a timer. We have been in constant contact with TASC but they cannot seem to find a solution to our problem and say we are the only school that has complained of this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, Hope somebody can help with the following issue. At our school we have Server 2008 R2 and Win 7 clients. All the staff use the same mandatory .V2 profile. Every now and then we will get called out to a PC where Windows 7 has logged the teacher in with a TEMP profile instead of their mandatory profile. The only way to then enable the teacher to logon correctly is to restart the PC, login as administrator, go into regedit, then delete any keys that have their SSID in, HKEY Local Machine-Software-Microsoft-Windows NT-Current Version-Profile List. Then lastly go into C:\Users and delete any profile with their username on. Once this is done the teacher can login fine. The wierd thing is that this issue keeps reoccuring randomly with different users on different PC's. I have also tried completely deleting the user out of sctive directory and recreating them but still the issue will reoccur again. Please can anyone help?

Hi All, Just thought I would end the thread by letting everyone know that I have fixed the printer issue by setting up a x86 Server 2008 machine. All the drivers and printer now map a treat using a VB logon script. It seems that Server 2008 R2 can simply not be used as a print server for x86 win 7 clients, very wierd! Thanks everyone for your help.

Sounds like I will have to do the same, never touched hyper v is is pretty straight forward to set up?

So cleared all the printers and drivers off the server, re-added all printers with x64 drivers for Server 2008 R2 then added x86 drivers via a domained win 7 PC. Deleted all old drivers from PC's in the ICT rooms and all worked fine for one morning and now just back to square one with students getting script error saying "specified port unknown" Only way I can see to solve the error is to login with administrator delete all drivers from print management and restart print spooler. But if I keep doing this I will be going round in circles!!

When you say not printing correctly how do you mean? Just text and no images?

Sounds like a driver issue, I have had the same error message as you stated and it turned out to be incorrect x86 drivers on server 2008 r2. To solve it I did as Andy T said and added the drivers vis a windows 7 domained PC. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-server-2008-r2/82992-network-printer-server-2008-r2.html#post732998

After a bit more investigation I think it is because I have been adding Server 2008 x86 drivers as the additional x86 drivers rather than Win 7 x86 drivers . I am going to delete all drivers and printers restart the server and then re add the printers. Then add the win 7 x86 drivers using the method described by Andy T and figers crossed this will work.
