I have started fresh with the servers, just didnt really want to go down the rebuild of workstations in the middle of term

the system was set up using hyper v, when they left they deleted the virtual dc server yes (where group policy lived)

you would think so wouldnt u, they even deleted all the software from the server as "they built the msi's" is that the group policy folder under the windir?

Hello, i have recently taken over a support firm at a local primary school. When they left they deleted the dc and when i remove the workstations from their old domain it then takes off the software that they installed over gpo, that part is fine. When I have set up the new dc and added the machines to the new domain they dont seam to be applying all of the computer settings on start up. In face it keeps trying to uninstall the same piece of software and doesnt try to install the new software that i have pushed out. Any ideas or am i looking at a system rebuild of the workstations? thanks

havent ever seen it, la spoke to heads about costing etc, heads agreed about as much as ever came of it

its supposed to be 40 meg, all the primaries are supposed to get it but nobody gets above 10 its got to the point i think where people are so sick they have just given up and waiting for the contract to run down

so are we, and the exchange is outside the school fence!

slow? we get 9meg on a good day

Hello, just considering schools options with broadband as the current contract runs out in 2 years time. Have many schools scrapped the LA broadband option and gone it alone? also do you need to make any arrangements to have a connection back to the LA in terms of admin machines? let me know your thoughts and experience on this please.

Works fine for me as long as you have the pre reqs in place prior to install I have done it in multiple sites with little problem

are they free?

hello, hope you can help. I have an old dc sever 2008 and have just migrated to a new server 2012 r2 dc. I am trying to copy the users documents from old to new but having permission problems, i can give permission to it by manually assigning to files but some profiles are 4gb+ is there a quick and easy way of doing this in bulk HELP!!! Many thanks

Hello, I have just replaced an old server with a shiny new one with server 2012 r2 on it. i have set up ad and gpo etc however the settings seam to be hit and miss. so of the machine have picked up the start up policy to install software etc and some havent, they all apply policies that add a network drive for sims but not settings such as proxy or wsus. Even the server its self isnt picking up the wsus policy though it says it is. any ideas or help would be fantastic many thanks

Seams too easy lol

so on windows is it just a case of copy and replace whats already there? couldnt find any documentation on this

Hello, I have noticed xibo are about to release a new version which looks pretty cool. What I was wondering is, I have Xibo running in school and really like it, but is it possible to upgrade an existing version or do I have to re-install it as a new install then copy everything over? Many thanks

anyone in north east using it?

We are looking at getting rid of our paper signing in books and replacing it with a touch screen or ipad, anyone done similar. we want it to register visitors as well as staff but it also needs to sync with the cloud so in case of fire we can view who is in, ideally i want it separate to the device used to register people as i want to secure the device for obvious reasons. thanks
