Many thanks, will give them a look.

We have a mixed bag of UPS's, mostly APC and Riello, most of them either need completely replacing or at least new batteries. I personally don't want to touch them for fear of death. So am looking for any school friendly companies willing to come to West London and take a look at what we have and quote for maintenance. Any recommendations? Thanks!

SIMS Learning Gateway mobile site showing up in IE

Thanks for the help, will give compatibility view a go and let you know. -
I am getting reports of some users accessing our SLG site using Internet Explorer 11 and getting the mobile site instead of the full site. I have failed to replicate this problem, so its proving difficult to diagnose. Anyone had a similar problem? Any idea's? Thanks

We have Cubase 7 artist running on a Windows network. We have come across a problem that if a user logs off without closing Cubase first, another user will log on and Cubase will then crash when trying to run it until the PC has been rebooted. Its as if there is still a Cubase service still running in the background for the previous user that's stopping the new logged on user from accessing it. Any ideas for a fix or a work around? Making sure pupils close Cubase before logging off is easier said than done. Thanks

I am still getting the referral error, here is the script I am running: OPTION EXPLICIT Const ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR = 1 DIM strSearchFilter, strSearchRoot, objRootDSE DIM cn,cmd,rs, strSearchScope DIM objNewOU, strNewOU ' ******************************************************** ' * Setup ' ******************************************************** ' Specify the distinguished name of the new OU to move the computers to strNewOU = "OU=ICT1,OU=Assesment with Word,OU=Controlled assessments,DC=stbenedicts,DC=org,DC=uk" ' Modify the filter to query for your department.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have specified the OU + domain by adding this line: strSearchRoot = "OU=Classroom Pc's,OU=Senior School,OU=Managed Computers,DC=stbenedicts,DC=org,DC=uk" But I get an error: A referral was returned from the server, I'm pretty sure I have delegated control correctly. If I run the script still from the DC on the pupil domain the script works. Am I missing something?

I need some help with a script I found here: Q and A - TechNet VB Script to move computers to specific OU I want to be able to move a rooms computers to a specific OU for controlled assessments, then use a similar script to move them back again. The script I have works only if used on the same domain as the PC's in question, trouble is, the script will need to be run from a teacher PC (staff domain) and move PC's on the pupil domain. Is it possible to specify a domain to look for in the script? I am a complete novice at scripting!

Thanks for the reply, what about programs that a installed on a server and all that is required on the client is a shortcut?

We have upgraded our client PC's to W7 over the summer and are using App-V for software that works with it, so far so good. Problem we are having is with software installed centrally on our appserver, I have been trying to add shortcuts to the start menu via group policy preferences. We would like all the shortcuts to be in the same folders ie SS Apps/English ETC weather they are App-v or a GPP shortcut, sadly the GPP shortcuts don't seem to show up. Our previous system was to redirect the start menu to a server share, but doing this the App-V shortcuts don't show. How do others deliver applications that come from various means?

I recently transferred our users homefolders from a 2003 server to 2008 R2, mainly for better quota management ETC. The transfer was easy enough as the data was on a SAN, all I then needed to do was to then recreate the shares, for this I used the following script: FOR /D %%G IN (*.*) DO NET SHARE "%%G$=%CD%\%%G" /GRANT:Everyone,FULL /CACHE:none Problem is the script has disabled caching on the shares and we need this to sync with the users laptops. I have tried changing the script to /cache:documents and /cache:manual, but neither work as the folders are already shared. Any idea's how I can set caching without having to go into each folder properties and editing? Thanks in advance!

I am trying to setup a URL redirect in ISA 2006 for our exchange OWA. Currently we have one URL for internal OWA which is HTTP and another URL for external, which is HTTPS. The external address isn't available inside the network. What I would like to be able to do is setup a URL redirect so I only need to give staff one URL to use, so that externally all works as it should and internally they get redirected to the internal HTTP URL, is this possible? I have setup a test URL redirect with ISA 2006 and this works fine, but that's only using HTTP, so I'm sure the fact the external site it HTTPS is the problem. Is there another way of doing this? Thanks in advance.

First of all thanks for a gamekiller! I'm trying to get it working on our network and have a problem. We are on a vanilla 2003 network, I deployed gamekiller to some test clients OK, but cant get it to work with students. The problem seems to be that gamekillerapp.exe starts as a student logs in and the process runs as that user. Problem is we have our students pretty locked down via group policy, so the gamekiller app doesnt seem to have the priviledges to kill the saflashplayer.exe process or block the swf file from running in IE! very annoying! I logon as admin with gamekiller running and it works fine!! Should be the other way round. I guess It needs to run gamekillerapp.exe as system or local admin account to work?? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Help!
