Thanks all for your suggestions. I am using Account Management Spreadsheet for the creation of accounts. One more question, who uses roaming profiles with the students? If so where do you keep the profiles? Not sure if i should have a dedicated server just for STudent profiles, away from Staff documents/shares etc.

What FREE bulk add to AD tools are recommended? Cannot find any decent ones.

Excellent....Just what i wanted to hear Any recommended tools for exporting users from the student domain and importing to the staff/student domain?

do you have your students on the same IP range as staff?

When you say secured correctly? Do you mean by having them in separate OUs and controlling Group Permissions?

Hi there, I currently have a setup where we have 2 separate domain servers. 1 for staff without the use of roaming profiles and 1 for students with the use of roaming profiles. Just wanted to find out the standard practice across schools etc. Our student domain is a mess and want to build a new server but if i can securely migrate them onto the staff DC then that would be easier but not sure if it is best practice? Any info would be beneficial.

Can i have a copy of this please?

Thanks!! Will look into this. We are trying to achieve the same thing with teachers having a central media server that they stream their videos/music from

Did you find a solution for this?

I set the Root password and allows me to login. when i try creating the database i get no errors just carriage return to the next line.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Id like to use this between 2 departments so will not be able to install just on My PC. I have tried installing mysql on the server but will not allow me to create new database using the command line syntax CREATE DATABASE. Where am i going wrong? Webman im not a pro at MSSQL but i assume just installing SQL Express would give you all required. CANT WAIT TO USE YOU APP!! Its going to save us alot of hassle

Thanks for clearing that up Will get MYSQL on my server.... It wont have any implications on MSSQL will it?

* I have created the following path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\printmaster and extracted the content of the .zip file downloaded. * C:\inetpub\wwwroot\printmaster already has the Session folder created and readonly access removed Now i need to import the .sql content but doing this in SQL2012 gives errors.

Its exactly what ive been looking for but struggling to get it setup. Any idea if this can use SQL 2012 instead of MySQL?

Is there a complete dummies guide to get this working on our internal network?

Thanks for the quick response.

Hi there, This is the first time i am posting on here but have used the site many times for help. I am the new IT Manager at a private school and have taken on a big task to develop the IT Infrastructure etc. We currently have a wired and wireless network. The wireless network uses Cisco WAP4410n 300Mb Access Points throughput the site. The channels of the overlapping APs are all over the place so that is one thing to sort out. The wireless network is only meant for staff. As ALL staff were domain admins (yes i know) children of some staff members managed to retrieve the wireless password from their parents Windows 7 laptops. Students have now passed this around and are using the wireless network from their mobile devices. Now..... I have taken all Domain Access away from staff and will be changing the WiFi password very soon. What i want to implement is a separate network for students to use for research, with restrictions using blocks on the firewall or implementing a proxy (which would be advisable?). Is there a way to do this using the same wifi access points? Or will i need to buy new APs for the students? Also wondering if there is any way of blocking use of VPN internet bypass software on this student network? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
