Posibble, Sophos, WSUS, Exchange 2007, Print Server etc or possible file server or back up server.

Don't use it for Sophos server................it would not handle it. Sounds like a confurationial nightmare.

I have inherited 2 servers at a school i now visit. The servers were ordered by a very inexperienced teacher/it person. I have checked the config and i am worrried about the lack of redundancy. The servers are configure d on one big raid with no hotspare. Two drived C & D. I want to rebuild these but am usnure as to what will be th ebest config. This is the spec below of how th eoriginal servers were ordered in. 2 x Xeon 5050 3.0Ghz/2x2mb 667FSB 4GB 533 Ram( 4 x 1GB DIMMs ) 4 x 160GB SATA HDD ( Originally configured into a Raid 10 ) DVD-Rom Perc 5i Card Advice please?

I have just recently imaged a room of Intel PC's. I have put the chipset drivers on from the Motherboard website. Everything appeared to be fine but now when anyone puts a USB pen in (tried 2 types of pen) they get prompted for admin username and password??? What has caused this, I know these USB pens worked fine before then. I tried a quick fix by giving users modify access to C:\Windows\inf\usbstor.inf but this made no difference. Help

Where from Everton?

Argos, B&Q Ebay. Looked at all the above because i have been looking for the same thing.

There is the only driver form 2002 on Toshibas website.

NO updates on Toshiba site for Wireless Lan driver, More expense i suppose with a card.

I have an old P3 500 Toshiba laptop. It has built in wireless card but only supports WEP. I have just purchased a new router that supports WPA2. I don't really want to lower the security level to WEP. Can this be change by a KB patch, Driver Update etc? I sem to remember once ready about a XP SP2 pathc released that woul ddo this but not sure? Can this be done?

I have not had much luck with this so far, deos anyone else have any suggestions?

Has anyoen purchased anythihg from these? I havce noticed their prices are very good on certain things (persoannl purchase not work) Feedback appreciated.

Yep

Anyone got a copy of this spreadsheet they could let me have?

I had to do this with 40 odd kids today as well. Bloody nightmare that you cant do all at once.

I did it manually on 58 machines, took me just over an hour. 40 odd kids at the test this morning with no problems.

Just successfuly sat 40 kids through this this morning. All worked fine after installing it on the server.

Is this software particular to one type of board ie, Hitachi or is this just software that can be used with any IWB?

@srochford The printer is parallel

Does anyone have use any free software for screen capture or screen recording. the pupils need to record the mouse clicks etc for proof of work done? Any suggestions?

OK here3 goes one reason we had so much trouble. The old NM set this up on a Win XP Pro workstation, but had installed the ESM_Test share on the workstation as well. I took it for granted the share was on a server. ( I only pop in here when someone is off sick) As you know XP Pro only allow 10 concurrent connections to the share. Hence only 10/12 kids being able to sit the test. I checked the documentation on the web and also the install documents and it does not say anything about this at all. I then spoke to tech support again and the guy admitted it should state this. Now I know most techies now about the windows XP Pro share restrictions on numbers of users but some time Exam Officers/secretaries deal with a lot of this and they would dnot know. I will be re-installing on a server now and then editing the registry of all computers with the test software on to point to the correct path of the server folder now and not the workstation.

We have just tried to sit 40 pupils through ALAN testing, some doing numeracy some literacy. Out of the 40 we have 12 successfully finish. The majority could not log on. With an error saying that only 50mb of hard disk space was left onto he machine which had the shared folder, but i checked the HDD an there was over 60gb spare. I phone Tech Support and they tried to ell me it it was a permissions problem on the shared folder and then on the Program files directory. I assured them that this was all correct and that the permissions on the Program files directory was set in a Path Rule to 'Everyone Full Control' as they tell you to. They came up with all sorts of crap excuses but i think it was their end not ours. Has anyone else had any similar trouble with this software?

My neighbour just has Sky broadband fitted. The router is plugged into the main phone line near the TV. It has two ports on it for hard wire devices. He has tried to move it to another connection in the house but it looses download speed when not plugged into the main phone line. So he is going to leave it by the TV. Problem is ihe has have two PCs, print server and two buffalo HD that connect via wired LAN. What he would like is to have all these connected to a 5 port hub which then connect to a wireless device which in turn connects to the router in the lounge. Can this be done ? I have no idea what to do now, He wants all the kit upstairs to be hard wired other wise he looses the ability to connect to all devices as their is no dedicated phone point in his room. I read about using a AP as a repeater buthis is over my head. I wouldlike to help him to set this up but i need help myself

Thanks guys

I've tried it but it seems to make no difference to the GUID number on the Remote Install tab in the properties of the machine in AD?

Will taht work if the issue is with the mobo/hardware?
