we not so lucky to have the luxury of a minibus! and then they would have a go at you anyway for turning up with crt monitors that they supposedly won't accept! you need a weee liscence or something now don't you ? to dispose of anything electrical or hazourdous. thanks

how has anybody dealt with this before? the problem is we have 65 new machines coming in a month and i need a solution to dispose of the old equipment for as little ££££ as possible. if any body knows of a company in lancs that is cheap etc.. could you please let me have the details! thanks in advance

it definately doesn't work copying and pasteing the font into c:\windows\fonts as i tried that using the batch login script previous to asking on here copies it accross ok but then it doesn't register with word. cheers

thanks Chris i'll have a look now Cheers

i'm just wondering if its possible to install a new font through GP or script so word picks it up i.e c:\windows\fonts ? thanks Kris

did you delete the installation files as part of the set up? because if you did thats your problem! cheers

get out jim on question time! i'll be asking him about that!

@tarquel cheers for that, i'm not with it today! [no problem hehe - tarquel]

Do any of you guys use a network scanner and if so can you reccomend any thing to me? if you do how is it set up? many thanks Kris. Edit :- P.s. the topic title is meant to be scanning! its been a long week! just to make my self a little clearer this is a scanner of the picture variety not a port scanner or anything like that cheers. [I've made it even more clearer for you in the thread title - tarquel]

isaserver.org usually helps me when i'm feeling stuck with these issues! cheers kris

thats what i meant i just couldn't think of the word at the time.

not got server 2003 infront of me but if it was any where wouldn't be in system properties under system restore? or advanced like on xp? i've always hated system restore it hardly ever works properly. Kris

i set up an an ftp folder on 1 of our servers and shared it out via iis gave student write only access to this folder and gave teachers full control of it. each teacher gets the kids to drag and drop their work into this folder with name and set in the filename and then the teacher copies it to the appropriate folder of their choice. once the kid drags or pastes the file into this folder, it then disappears out of their sight. there will be a better way to do something like this but this works for us and it was free! just takes a bit of messing with permissions. cheers Kris

sorry i didn't read your second reply properly. have you checked all permissions on that specified folder as sophos uses its own usernames like sweepupd and emmanager or something along those lines check the permissions to see if anything is overriding that due to remote install needing to read from that share and using the username you specified for install!

is this happening on all machine sor just a couple? i've had something similar to this happen on a couple and i ended up having to take them off the domain and then back on again and for some reason that works not entirely sure why though, but i'm not one to argue!

that was meant to be sensory as in taste !!!!

got semsory glands of 80 year old! i really don't knw how people can enjoy that stuff!!!

@ Dos_Box : what do you class as chemical sludge?

black bull garstang rd? or the one in the town centre?

try first technologies they may have something like that. not sure of their phone number but if you wait 5 mins i'm sure somebody will post it. kris

ok. its the last time that particular machine you were looking at updated. kris

isn't that the last time your server updated? http://www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/ will tell you the last uploaded ide files which was 08:48 this morning! kris

received securus yesterday, so far very impressed install was extremely easy found our first ssupect this morning, very easy to use. do you pay for the liscences per user or per machine? we'll just to wait 2 weeks to see if its going to be cost effective or not but the head seems really impressed so we'll end up with it more than likely. but it does go to show without this sort of software on your network you wonder how many instances of this abuse you've already missed, which is quite a scary thought. its worth the money if you stop 1 pupil from getting bullied. the only problem is its probably a bit too sensitive picks up everything but they're probably things that you'd have to learn to ignore. cheers kris

i've also got surfcontrol on the same box which i presume keeps everything in its own database? just had a securus box put in today for a trail so far very impressed, simple to roll out (very small msi package) i'll let you alll know how it goes many thanks kris
