Nope! Never seen this and I can't recreate it either!

Hello, I was wondering, does VEEAM support Shadow Copying itself? For example, can it act AS the Shadow Copy, or can it only back them up? If not, do you find Shadow Copying uses a lot of space etc.?

Excuse me for asking the obvious, but is this PowerShell? Also, could you possibly give an example CSV and I can work from that? Thanks!

Hello, I'm sure this has been posted a million times however, what's the most simple way to bulk create intake accounts? I have a spreadsheet which takes the students forename, surname and intake year and concatenates them into their username. We will then have the passwords on inset day, however I have a powershell script to bulk change passwords. all I really need is it to set the following options Forename, Surname, Username, Profile Path, Logon Script, Home Folder (Connect M:), User Cannot Change Password (true), Password Never Expires (True) Any tips? I wouldn't like a massive chunk of code I don't understand either, I've seen these flying around!

Hello, The senior management team are wanting us to provide capability to display an error message to users if the selected printer is offline due to maintenance. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with any software which could do this? In example: 1) Resources Colour MFP is in an error state for some reason 2) Staff prints to Resources Colour MFP 3) Software informs user that the printer is in an error state and cancels their job Any ideas? We have PCounter but this doesn't seem to do exactly what we'd like.

Looks good! Will give it a shot VYPERZ

Hello, I'm configuring DirectAccess for our system, and I'm stuck configuring the network adapters section. I've setup two NICs on the server, but one should be pointed to the internal world and one to the external world. I'm not sure how to do this? Any clues?

What's this like from an administrators perspective? ie. Setup process? I've heard it's rather awkward/challenging.

Hello, Working from home for staff Easiest options? FortiClient VPN - Tried it ROBOCOPY (Files on C: ) - Tried it Remote Desktop - Tried it (contemplating this again however) Home Access Plus - Not an option Any ideas................

Thanks for your response. We would be looking at around at least 13 merge fields per subject - there are 12 subjects. This would put the machine under a lot of stress and I can only presume it would fail halfway?

Hello, We're looking for a way to print ROA (Record of Achievement) reports by student. Currently they are printed through the individual report routine in SIMS by subject - meaning if we wanted to print one students' reports we'd have to go into each subject and print that student manually. Is there a way to say, "I want to print every subject report (ROA) for Joe Bloggs"?

Your attached file works with no problem. I'm running VS Ultimate 2013.

It seems that the timer is called 'BackupCheck' under the properties of it, and the NotifyIcon is 'NotifyIcon1' FYI - I'm usually sensible with naming items, with this one I just decided not to bother.

Hello, I've given that a shot this morning but there are some build errors. I've adjusted names for things that don't match up etc. and this is the result: The on hovers say: Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types. AND Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference. Any idea as to why this might be?

That would be brilliant! I won't be able to test it myself until Monday now mind, but I will be sure to reply either way. Thanks!

I think that's exactly what I want. Could you help with the code for this?

Yes that's the problem I want a tooltip when the application starts and a tooltip when it stops. I see the process.exited may be what I want but the process does not start from within the VB application itself (it's on a scheduled task within windows)

No it's not. I'm moving forward slowly, I think something like THIS is more what I'm looking for: Private Sub BackupCheck_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BackupCheck.Tick Dim BackupProc = Process.Start("C:\Backup\SCHOOLNAMEBackup.exe") If Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("SCHOOLNAMEBackup").Count = 1 Then NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip("5000", "SCHOOLNAME Network Portal", "System backup started.", ToolTipIcon.Info) While Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("SCHOOLNAMEBackup").Count = 1 BackupProc.WaitForExit() End While ElseIf Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("SCHOOLNAMEBackup").Count = 0 Then NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip("5000", "SCHOOLNAME Network Portal", "System backup complete.", ToolTipIcon.Info) End If End Sub End Class

Hello, I'm trying to create a loop for our system tray application to check if their system is backing up. So far I have this Private Sub BackupCheck_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BackupCheck.Tick If Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("SCHOOLNAMEBackup").Count = 1 Then NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip("5000", "SCHOOLNAME Network Portal", "System backup started.", ToolTipIcon.Info) ElseIf Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("SCHOOLNAMEBackup").Count = 0 Then NotifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip("5000", "SCHOOLNAME Network Portal", "System backup complete.", ToolTipIcon.Info) End If End Sub End Class It's not working quite right, but the basic idea is that: >Check every 10 seconds (the timer tick) if the process is running. >If so, show a tooltip 'started'. (if not start again) >When it stops show a tooltip 'stopped'. >end if - restart loop. Any ideas?

Nope Permissions are all fine. I tried it with a 'call' command - this doesn't work either? It's as though from a logon script it doesn't like starting a new program/calling another script.

Hello, I've got a script deployed via a GPO to run on logon, however it only seems to be doing the first step? The script is the following: @echo on xcopy "\\SERVER-IP\IT\Software\Necessary\SchoolNameApplication\SchoolNameTrayInstaller.exe*" "C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\" /y TIMEOUT /T 1 start "SchoolNameTrayInstaller.exe" /D "C:\Users\%username%\Desktop" "SchoolNameTrayInstaller.exe" It will run the xcopy command and successfully copies this to the desktop. It does not, however, execute the 'start' command. When running the same batch file manually when logged in, it completes successfully. Any clues?

I've requested a trial now. Hopefully they will get back soon and we can try it out! Thanks.

I see! Is there a trial download for this product? Also, does it just sit on the Exchange server or is this endpoint?

Is that per annum or is that a one off cost?

I see! This may be useful then, do you have any idea how to set this up though?
