  1. At your service
  2. Friend lists have always existed; my impression of this announcement was that groups extend to much more content than lists do.
  3. A network printer with a virtual PDF driver is how we do it. The document is batch processed and then dropped in the user's home drive.
  4. Where is this download all content feature and how is it controlled?
  5. No, there is no current (and working) *nix client.
  6. If I'd known I would have done... but to be fair I saw him at the NIA not long ago and it was excellent
  7. Apparently the post was filled over a year ago, too.
  8. This is a social problem, and there are no technical solutions to social problems.
  9. You need to set the group policy option "Force logout when logon hours expire" for the appropriate users.
  10. It means call the support department and quote that code at them, and they will tell you exactly what's wrong.
  11. You'll get my opinion whether you want it or not. That's how forums work. Your attitude has reeked all through this thread and others today. Maybe you ought to consider how that's reflecting on your reputation.
  12. And breathe... now please chastise people for no reason with the correct spelling, and finish your sentence with a full stop. Maybe now you could get over it and contribute a useful answer instead?
  13. Hmm, what did you have for them? Video players, tellys, UPSs etc?
  14. Er... I'm supporting your opinion.
  15. This is fact, not opinion KVM exists for very good reasons.
  16. My emphasis (actually, my words anyway...): Call me old-fashioned, but I thought EduGeek was "the IT professionals' life-line". Bit odd that someone can't ask a straightforward question without being told they're putting too much effort into helping their users...
  17. Yes, and frighteningly often.
  18. It's our job to enable and empower the office to do the actual collecting in the most efficient manner with the tools and skills we possess.
  19. The only sensible solutions are: - withdraw access - enforce MAC filtering on your access points, but this is trivial to bypass - implement a proper RADIUS setup, but students sharing their account details pose the same problem
  20. For the sake of everyone else watching this thread because they're facing the same decision, please keep discussion in the open unless it involves confidential information (which means you probably shouldn't be exchanging it with strangers in the first place...).
  21. From memory, you need to disable the use of mod_deflate (though really, not being able to deal with compressed responses is a pretty poor show nowadays...) edit: it is mod_deflate, though if you have an exotic setup it might be mod_gzip instead. mod_deflate - Apache HTTP Server
  22. These letters are becoming common and you're right, they are NOT from your normal registrar and if returned, you WILL be initiating a transfer to the company sending the letters (so don't). Please complain about them to ICANN and your domain registrar, since the details are generally harvested from whois and for most whois providers, this is a breach of usage terms.
  23. We do about 500 machines with my single one-touch start-me-off-and-I'll-do-all-the-rest XP image, by embedding drivers in our own repository and allowing it to install them as required.
  24. But you must also consider your data protection responsibilities. You are collecting personal and identifiable data, so you must take every step to protect it.
