We use a script which looks at a spreadsheet which contains a list of student usernames, this then creates a folder with their name, and another folder inside called marked work. The student drops their work into their folder (this is the only folder they can see), Once a teacher has marked a piece of work, they drop it into the marked work folder and the student cannot get to it again. This stops them from tampering with it. Let me know if you want a copy.

I am the NM and in charge of the network. The head of Curriculum ICT manages the subject. There are also 2 members of SLT, the business manager and the assistant head and we all meet regularly to discuss ICT strategy accross the school. The head of ict would never tell me to do anything a specific way but we discuss what he wants to happen and I tell him the best way. There are no other techs to manage, its just me.

to work out the winning policy, open group policy management and select the ou you are interseted in. On the right hand side at the top there are 3 tabs, the middle one is Group policy Inheritance. Look at the tab and whichever policy is higher in the list is the winning gpo (There are a few exceptions but this is rule most of the time.) The policy with the biggest number is processed first and works towards policy 1 which is applied last. If you need to know exactly, you can run Group Policy Modeling to see which policy the settings are coming from.

Load up AD and click on the View menu at the top. Select 'Advanced Features'. Now right click on the OU you are trying to delete and select properties. Under the Object tab make sure that 'Protect object from accidental deletion' is not ticked. Click Ok and you can now delete the OU.

I need a bit of help with this... Im doing some work on our website and I want to incorporate a few CSS3 elements into the mix. The elements are box-shadow, border-radius and text-shadow. As you can see from the 3 screen shots, in chrome, everything works as it should. There is a shadow around the outside of the site, the horizontal menu has a drop shadow under the text and headings on the page have rounded corners. Opera has a shadow around the outside of the page, drop shadow under the text but no rounded corners for the headings. IE9 has a shadow around the site, no drop shadow under the text and no rounded corners on the headings. 1. Box Shadow - this should work in IE9 but I have had to include a line in the css to run a file called ie-css3.htc. I would have included this anyway to make it work in IE8 but why doesnt it work in IE9 without it. Heres the css im using to create a box shadow around the outside of the page. .shadow { -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 15px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1); -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 15px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1); box-shadow: 0px 0px 15px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1); behavior: url(https://slp2.somerset.gov.uk/schools/rbsc/_catalogs/masterpage/ie-css3.htc); } 2. Border Radius - Aparently this should also work in all three browsers but it only seems to work in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Opera and IE9 dont seem to be able to cope with the rounded borders. heres the css im using .ms-WPHeader td { border:1px black solid; height:24px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 8px; background:url(https://slp2.somerset.gov.uk/schools/rbsc/Images/button_bg.jpg); border-radius:8px; -moz-border-radius:8px; -webkit-border-radius:8px; behaviour:url(https://slp2.somerset.gov.uk/schools/rbsc/_catalogs/masterpage/ie-css3.htc); } 3 - Text Shadow - This should work in all browsers but again, it doesnt appear to work in IE9. CSS below .ms-topnav { font: bold 13px "Verdana"; border:none; border-right:2px solid [url=http://www.edugeek.net/misc.php?do=dbtech_usertag_hash&hash=fff]#fff[/url] background-color:transparent; background-image:none; background-repeat:repeat; background-attachment:scroll; height:40px; text-shadow:1px 1px black; behavior: url([url]https://slp2.somerset.gov.uk/schools/rbsc/_catalogs/masterpage/ie-css3.htc[/url]) } All of the browsers im using should support CSS3 by default and I cant see any reason why its not working. The site is based around Sharepoint. Im starting to think that it might only be my computer that is not displaying the site correctly but because ive got the only copy of IE9 in the school, I cant test on anyone else. Does anyone have any experience with CSS3 and help me out. Its not a major problem but I would like to get it right. And sorry for such a long post. Thanks! James

anything that you can turn off in msconfig start up options? Can you delete the file? Anything in the local startup folder?

you have to root the tablet but you can use an app called ProxyDroid. I got it to connect a Android 2.1 tablet to our proxy.

I agree, but the OP didnt ask for any of that. they said they wanted to be able to submit a job to the tech and they could print it, and then be told when its ready. That sounds like an email system to me...

We have a great system, its called email. staff email the reprographics tech, she prints it, the staff pick it up from her when she says its ready. It works every time and because we already use email, it one less system for people to have to worry about.

This is funny, what I'm actually reading is that if I make a change, you will take 100% responsibility Thanks fellas

Morning everyone The clock on our main DC is about 5 mins slow from the rest of the clocks in the school. All of the workstations and other servers get their time from the DC. If I change the clock on the main DC, am I going to screw anything up? Thanks James

+1 for Daemon Tools lite. I use it on m y W7 machine all the time.

Thanks. I dont really want to know how to do it, more how it all works together? what are the downsides? how did the other members of staff get on with the Macs, how do the students feel about using them? that kind of thing. It wont be me setting up the system but we have to tell RM how we want it set up.

Morning everyone. We are thinking of getting a suite of Macs in our new school and I would like to take a look at how they integrate in a windows environment. I want to see the following: - how users can log on and whats is the experience like for a user. - how do you deal with file storage and accessing their home drives and shared areas. - what is the administration like of the macs. We would be getting a Mac server to deal with this. - We are going to be using them for our creative arts dept so I would like to see how you deal with large file such as photos and movies. - our new school is going to be CC4 so I would like to see how the whole system integrates with that. I have only every used a mac sporadically before now and I would like to feedback to my collegues on how it all fits together. At the moment, all the information is coming from RM and we would like to see it for ourselves. Does anyone who works close(ish) to the Bridgwater/Taunton area have a setup that I can come a take a look at for a morning/afternoon? I'm more than willing to supply biscuits/refreshments in exchange for some of your very precious time. many thanks James

We are a BSF school about to move accross in sept this year. We to are discussing what we want to do with regards for licensing. A few interesting points were brought up about this. - yes you can buy 3 years worth of licensing at a time but as you have already mentioned, what happens in three years when there is not as much BSF money to spend. - If you choose the EES route, if after the deal finishes you dont want it any more, you have to buy yourself out of the deal. I think its about a years payment. - If like us, you are having a managed service, does the contract include upgrading machines? Its pointless to have the option to upgrade to the latest software if the company wont do it for the life of the managed service. In the end, it was better for us to buy licenses for the machines individually.

Yes. Ive used them a few times before and never had a problem.

We have a Aruba managed wireless network and I need to extend it to one area of the school (sports hall). Can I just buy a standard wireless router like this or does it need to be properly installed and configured as part of the managed system? The school is being rebuilt and it would only be used until july so we dont have much money to spend. thanks james

If I got the chance to meet a few of the big players in MIS' i would definitely want to know what their thoughts are on the following... Who would win in a fight between a badger and a fox??

Morning all, We have a Dell 71PXP KVM switch here and a few weeks back we had a small power cut. Once i had powered everything back on, the kvm switch is displaying the word 'free' and is asking for a password (which as you can probably guess, I dont know). Its not a huge problem because i can use rdp to access the servers but I would like to eventually get it working again. Does anyone know how to reset the password? Ive looked through a few internet sites and the dell forums but cannot find anything. TIA, James

... i was just testing to see if everyone is still awake...

If this is the case, what makes you think they will be able to use an piece of instant messaging software. It sounds like this is a training issue, not a need for a new piece of software.

Weve got a pebble here and it does a great job. We print badges for all our staff and visitors and it hasnt put a foot wrong in the past 18 months.

Sorry to resurect this thread, @reggiep did you ever get this sorted, I am having the same problem as you described in the OP.

Just tried it in IE9 and it doesn't work? Should it?

The standard ones. - IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera. I like the look of the shadow but I would like it it go around the whole table, not just the bottom and the right. Is that possible? Where would I put the code you supplied?
