How did you change the search order?

I have one by my desk. Connects WiFi, enables lock screen, lowers volume. Tap again toggles those settings. One in my car for Bluetooth and music start.

This is correct. It only needs to be on the pc running the command. I don't know about it installing/removing a service on the client though... Although, if you want psexec on each pc, you can install it with psexec after deployment..

I pmed you, but that is not the issue here. The issue is that people don't print to a locally installed printer. In fact, there is no locally installed printer, they simply print to a shared printer on the server. That printer does not go through AD or anything. Those prints are invisible. When we add the printer into ad and install it, then impero sees those prints as well. I suspect impero needs to be enabled on the server.

They should be able to see all work in the folder, but not open or touch any of it. You may need to make folders for each student and grant only them perms on the folder if you want them to open their own work.

Create a shared drive, set NTFS permissions on folder only , files they enter lose permission as soon as it is entered.

PSexec shouldn't be considered 3rd party... everyone should have it in their path.

O&K Print Watch - Printer manager and monitor We use it, works really well. Trying to switch over to impero for easy print credits, having no luck getting impero to actually see print jobs. But that is a topic for another time I guess

Surprised no mentioned o and k print watch.

Depending on your phone you can probably just send it to voicemail without ringing the phone even.

Its my fault, I didn't see the date either and brought it back to life.

How about running whatever file you need through psexec? psexec @%labList% -h -n 5 c:\deploy\installTemp\install.bat That's what we use....

Hi there, I work in a school that gives detention (I know, big shock). Anyways, the system is a bit...outdated...and I am trying to bring it up to the 20th century. I mean, they are still using a pen and paper.... Basically, teacher gives detention, it gets entered into a pc (spreadsheet), (this part is ok), but when a student goes to sit, he "checks in" on a sheet (writes his name), and then when done, he "checks out" (writes the time he leaves). Then the sheet is re-entered into the system and adjustments made. What we want is something: 1) Teacher enters time. 2) Students goes to a PC, checks in via a webpage - He logs in (AD Integration is a plus) and hits the "I'm checked in" button. 3) When done, Student hits the check out button. 4) System auto-calculates how much detention is left for that student. Maybe he can even see the number in real time. There are some unique requirements: 1) Must be self hostable in a closed environment. 2) Must have some sort of idle timeout. 3) Teacher must be able to see who is currently "sitting" at any given time (so he can check) and what time the person started. 4) Ability to prevent certain students from using this system. AD group is a plus. A bonus: Ability to set times a person is allowed to sit, i.e. only between 1-7. I don't care if it is php based, java based, etc. Even a windows application. Does anyone know of such a script?

I was always wondering about srp locally. How would you deny local admin permission to the GPO?

You will probably have to take ownership, then set permissions. Then rename. Might be easier to just block it with GPO

You know, if you still need, I must have a dozen xp home stickers on boxes we no longer use...

No problem. I stopped imaging xp anywhere so I don't need a copy. Still pushing 7, but hope 8 passes our tests so we can start pushing that instead.

I have a copy of xp for dell, sp2 though. OEM stuff. I also have a retail is, dunno where I came from, but works fine.

Try reinstalling windows on new drive. Provided the BIOS is setup correctly, any OEM key you use should work, as long as you use a official OEM disk for that laptop. Research slic for more info

We ended up with the following: Impero attempts a shutdown. 5 minutes later a custom script (calls pskill and kills winlogon) is called via scheduled task. This will, without fail, no matter what, log the person off. Done,

I moved it so I could track downloads... http://mordyt.com/?wpdmact=process&did=Ny5ob3RsaW5r

Download this, close ie, close outlook, run. Credits to me http://mordyt.com/software/gcfix.bat

Wow. That is 95% of what we were looking for. Thank you, I had no clue it existed!

Thank you all for your helpful replies. between poweroff and impero, I think we got this handled. We are still testing shutdownertron as a alternative too.

Hi all, Looking for a software piece to do the following. 1) Service on client PCs reads from a central server. 2) On central server we can set a message/task (i.e. please read the computer use policy) 3) The message is sent to all users, even if they are not logged in (shows up the next time they do). Bonus 4) Some way of them say "I have read this message" 5) Message is persistent, won't close unless we remove it or they click the I have read button (if we could set that on a message basis would be better). 6) Specify specific groups or even users to send to (great for those few who cause issues). Anyone have any ideas? We don't have the biggest budget for IT and would really like something along these lines.
