That would work! I have done just that, synced up Contracts under legal and allowed to sync back to the original server then deleted the DFS replication

Thanks for your quick response! Might be easier to provide a screenshot of an example. In this i am attempting to replicate 2 folders, both to the Legal folder. 1) \\SERVER1\Shared\Contracts > \\SERVER2\Shared\Legal\Contracts (works fine) 2) \\SERVER1\Shared\Legal > \\SERVER2\Shared\Legal (conflicts due to the above) Tried these replications the other way around (2 before 1) and the same happens.

I am trying to migrate from one file server to another, in the process I am also restructuring the route of our shared drive. I am attempting to go from \\server1\shared\Sales Operations (for example) to \\server2\shared\Sales\Sales Operations. I have a DFS membership for Sales to Sales and attempted to set up the DFS replication as above, however due to the sales to sales replication I get the error "The path entered conflicts with another replication folder path" Does anyone know how i can migrate multiple files from source to destination where some folders go to the same location as another replication? I would prefer not to use something like robocopy as I'm trying to pre-stage the migration to limit downtime. Thanks in advance

Anyone?

Has anyone come across a small script or program that basically asks "Are you sure you want to print?" before someone prints? I don't want anything like PaperCut or PCounter, I just want something free that displays a pop-up that confirms you want to print before you do so. Any help appreciated :-)

Cheers! A bit of alteration and testing and that worked

Hi All, I have a problem where some files in some home folders are losing their inherited permissions, it is affecting over 200 home folder. Basically I need a script/batch file that can take the permissions from the Root folder (which are all fine) and propagate them down, this would resolve the issues we are having. I can do it individually and it resolves the issues however its a little impractical to do this 200 times, folder by folder. Any one have a batch file or something that can do this? I have used iCacls in the past but I can't seem to get this to work this time. Any help appreciated

Don't know if the screenshot helps at all...

Well... Access to the command prompt is disabled as its a student account however it can run scripts. I have icons that run vbscript commands (i.e) This works for everything else but it hangs on opening any drives

Hi All, I have created an exam environment with a few different scripts including a VBS script that kills explorer.exe so students don't get the task bar and a command to open up an exe i have created. In the exe window i have a icon that is supposed to open up H:/ (home area) but when you click it I get "Server execution failed" after a few seconds of the command prompt hanging. When I run the environment with explorer.exe running the links work fine and open the appropriate drive however as soon as explorer is killed it stops. Does anyone know a way around this? Any suggestions appreciated. Many Thanks

Most of our Managed Service schools use ABtutor, NetSupport or Impero. All are pretty good and have similar features.

Does anyone know of any registry edits we can use to disable .doc and .docx or the "insert objects" from within wordpad that we can put in a logon and logoff script? Cheers

Brilliant! It works! Just added a line in my VB Script that says: WshShell.Run("\\ad1\NETLOGON\NoAltF4.exe") Cheers!

I'll have a look into it tomorrow morning, might be back

That's a good idea, at the moment I have a batch script that runs on logon and a kix sctipt that starts the software and kills explorer.exe so maybe an if statement for if the file is closed it should run again?

Hi All, I have created an exam environment user interface script that also kills the explorer task and removes task manager etc.. however you are able to close the UI using ALT+F4 and once you have done this you can't do anything at all (not even log off). You have to manually reboot the machine. Is it possible to disable ALT+F4 for a security group? I wan't to avoid regedit unless it can be used for a security group on its own and doesn't affect the machine after the exam user is logged off. Any help appreciated. Cheers.

That's right - they give you a 30 day free trial, however for 14 days of it the software runs in the monitoring mode to collect information and work out your savings. You can then use the software for another 2 weeks to evaluate it, from there they provide you with a quote for the software. I agree it is an interesting model, no way of knowing how much other companies are paying. It can be a little off putting.

Our window is set to a specific size 985x758 because of the way it is designed, plus i have now disabled the maximise control so the background doesn't tile.

Sorry to bother you all again, does anyone know of a way to get the HTA window to automatically open in the center of the screen no matter that the resolution is? I currently use windows.moveto 100,50 as it gets it in the center the best.

You found that on Google? I've been searching all day but not found anything. Ah well, thanks anyway and enjoy your holiday

Awesome, Thanks!

Perfect! Just tested it and it seems to work exactly how I want. Is there a way to say closeButton="no"? I tried that but it didn't work. Thanks though!!

I coded it my self using html and changed the extension to hta so it opens in an application window. I have Visual Basic but can't seem to get it to work with the coding i have already done.

I have created an exam environment for our schools, it comprises of 3 files; a .kix file that says if they are in the examination group run a .vbs file. The .vbs file kills the explorer.exe task so they don't have any taskbar or desktop shortcuts and then opens a .hta file. The .hta file is a user interface that has icons for apps like Win Word that executes the application when you click on it. There is also a log off button. I am looking for some kind of code that stops the students from being able to close, minimise and resize the window. Does anyone know of any code that can lock this down so they literally can't do anything except click the icons inside the window. Hope this all makes sense? I have the codes if you want them

Thank you for all of your suggestions, I have managed to find a piece of software that seems to do exactly what I need called PowerMan - PowerMAN PC Power Management Software Technical
