Also, can you run a gpresult on a computer outside of the ou to see if it is being applied?

fine, but my question still stands. why are you using item level targeting in this case? This should be used to narrow down the number of computers in an OU that the policy is applied to. If you apply the gpo to an OU normally, you wouldnt use item level targeting?

if you apply the GPO to the just the curriculum OU, why are you using item level targeting? Which computers are you trying to shutdown? It wont apply to computers outside of the OU.

This is exactly what I need but this is creating a folder called cakewalk in \\servername\userdirs\students\intakeyear\studentusername\ I need it to create the folder in \\servername\userdirs\students\intakeyear\studentusername\files The files folder is already there and has documents and other folders in it I also need to set the permissions on the folder to deny for the group gsgstudents Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks, dow this script create a folder? I cant quite understand what its supposed to be doing?

Sorry to hijack the thread but I seem to remember you offering the HTC flyer on trial a few weeks back. is that deal still available because I would be very interested now? Or have I completely made that up?!

Does anyone have, or can anyone quickly knock up for me a script to create a folder in a number of folders and set the permissions on that folder? Heres what I need... Our directory structure is like this, \\servername\userdirs\students\intakeyear\studentusername\Files\ I need a folder called Cakewalk set up in every one of our students Files folder with our students global security group set to deny full control. Im sure one of you clever people can do this in a few seconds! Thanks James

anyone?

I am trying to roll out office 2010 to a number of computers using a script. Microsoft suggest running the script at startup, but I have chosen to run it at shutdown. This way the users dont have to wait 20 mins for it to finish. They can shutdown at night and in the morning it will be ready for them to use. My problem is that when the computer is shutdown, the installer starts. At about half way through the install, it fails, and finishes shutting down the computer without adding a logfile to the installation source folder. If I turn it on, then shutdown, it works perfectly. I have scouted the net and cant seem to find any information on this problem. I have even tried adding a seperate batch file to uninstall previous versions of office first and then call the setup file. This causes the same issue. This has happened on almost all computers I have tried it on. Has anyone else experience this kind of problem? Is there a way of logging what the installer is doing before it shuts itself down? Thanks James

This is exactly whats happening, how can I get around the problem? I dont know the answer to this. It's set up in cachepilot to only allow access to the internet if the user has authenticated with active directory.

bump anyone?!?!?!?!

This is a question about cachepilots. We have a cachepilot as our proxy server. I am trying to embed a youtube video into powerpoint 2010 but it come up with a message 'Contacting the server for information', then it fails. I know the problem must be something to do with our cachepilot because I can change the proxy to another LA proxy and it works perfectly. I change it back to the cachepilot and it doesnt work. Ive added youtube.com to the exceptions auth domain list for staff but its still not working and I can navigate to the youtube video I want without any problems. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this? How can I find out what Powerpoint is trying to do and why its failing? Thanks James

Im not using a kms host there are only going to be about 40 deployments. As mentioned above, I can use the VAMT to activate them, I want to know if its possible to activate them automatically at computer start up when the product gets installed. If i run the script with a user logged in, it works. I can install the product and have it auto activate. I just cant do it at startup.

Ok thanks, Ill use that for now but is this problem actually solvable? Can a computer connect to the internet via a proxy server before a user logs on to automatically activate?

the clients are XP, does this matter?

Hi folks, Im trying to deploy Office 2010 to out to our teachers workstations. I have followed the method of using the Microsoft script and deploying via group policy at computer start up. I have created the admin install file and it all works perfectly except the automatic activation. I have read that I can enter AUTO_ACTIVATE=1 in the OCT to achieve this but it doesnt work at startup. We use a cachepilot box as our proxy and this requires authentication. How would the computer get its proxy settings to auto activate before a user logs in?? Has anyone got this to work? I want to roll it our over night and would like for the users to not have to do anything when they come in, like activate office over the net. Thanks James

what version of office have you got? You can do it in 2010 when you save and send, there is an option to create a video EDIT: Scrap that, ive just seen your posts title! its 2007

do you mean on a dvd as a video file, or packaging it to a dvd so it will run anywhere?

BUMP anyone??

As the title suggests really, I need a new cleaning tape for our Dell PV-124T. Ive never had to buy one of these before and don't want to get it wrong. What am I looking for? Can anyone suggest anything? This is what came out, HP Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge (C7978A) specifications - HP Small & Medium Business products but its £85 This is what I found, C7978A its £30, is that about right?? Thanks James

What!!! You have windows in your office? What a luxury!! I dont have any in my converted toilet/cupboard.

In my old school, we bought all our kit from novatech. they are reaonable priced, good support. I would definitly use them again.

our workstation computers are set to accept both of these methods for WOL.

Yep, checked these. Its all correct I have checked all of these settings and they are correct. I know the machines can be woken from a shutdown state because we use another piece of software called SchoolVue and this will wake the machines without any problems. Are there any settings in the server program that I need to check or should it work 'out the box'?

Afternoon everyone. Just taking a quick look at LanView 4 and my first impressions are that its a really useful piece of software. My problem is that I cannot seem to use the WOL feature. I have checked that the bios is set to allow the WOL feature but when I select a machine to Wake Up, nothing happens. I am using my workstation as the LanView Server, the test workstation is on the same VLAN subnet, I am able to view the machine with VNC, I just cant get it to wol. Anyone got any ideas?? Thanks
