Hi, I'm fairly confident with Access and how to setup databases/designs, however I've been given the task of creating a job logging database for our site team. Obviously this will be in a shared file location so multiple users will want this open at a time. I'm not entirely sure how I can make this work? I would presume using Microsoft SQL server or something? I COULD do it within VisualStudio, but I feel it will be much easier in access if possible! I will be creating this in Office 2013, but it will be being opened on 2010/2013. I presume there will be compatibility options? Please could anyone advise? Thanks!

This will be our issue also. Plus, we have a few newer boards utilising the new software and they're not as happy with it. Especially MFL teaching staff, they're finding they can't insert accented letters using alt gr anymore!

Had a look at this, we have smart notebook 10 and that version isn't there! Any ideas?

Got so far with this and realised it's trying to make me use Smart SE. I can't seem to locate an MSI for the full edition of Smart Notebook? Any ideas?

Hello, Anyone know a way of installing CAPITA SIMS .NET silently? I've seen a few where there are multiple batch commands, but these looked a bit strange and didn't work for me. Nor did they actually run the installer, merely copied a few files! The other two bits of software are SmartNotebook and FortiClient VPN (we use the newest version of this) Any guides/scripts/syntax would be greatly appreciated! We do use MDT so if they can be done through this; great!

Huh? What do you mean by this, sorry?

Awesome! This worked perfectly with a few adjustments to suit me! Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to write a script with user input, then that user input determines an outcome. Let me show you the Pseudo: set imageScript = Which image would you like to run? if /i %imagescript% ISEQUALTO STAFF goto loadStaff if /i %imagescript% ISEQUALTO PUPIL goto loadPupil if /i %imagescript% ISNOTEQUALTO PUPIL OR STAFF goto quitScript I also would like to open the scripts as start maximised (I know this isn't fully maximised in windows 7 but it's a bigger screen fill) So far, the actual code I have is as follows - but it doesn't seem to work! @echo Offcls Color 0b @echo Options: STAFF, PUPIL, NONE set /P imageScript=Which image script would you like to run? IF /I %imageScript%==STAFF GOTO :loadStaff IF /I %imageScript%==PUPIL GOTO :loadPupil IF /I %imageScript% NEQ "PUPIL" "STAFF" :loadNone :loadStaff call "\\location\IT\Imaging\STAFF-IMAGE.bat" :loadPupil call "\\location\IT\Imaging\PUPIL-IMAGE.bat" :loadNone exit

Hello, Here we go... We're running a survey via which users will enter their username so that's a unique key to each survey We then want to compare this with a list of usernames from AD and find out who HASN'T filled in the survey. The problem we are facing is we have no idea how... I'd presume using VLOOKUP and CONCATENATE? But also, AD exports the list and they look like this: [TABLE=width: 233] [TR] [TD=width: 233]%USERNAME%,User,,[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Anyone any ideas...?

Yes - this makes sense. So basically it's just their folder that has the 200MB limit applied, not their folder AND their subfolders with their own 200MB limit.

Hi - thanks for this! I saw this option but wasn't sure if that would then do folders within a users folder? So like this 200MB on E:\Students\ 200MB on E:\Students\Intake\%username% 200MB on E:\Students\Intake\%username%\theirOwnFolder etc.

Hello, We're in the process of setting the quota on some of our users' folders. We currently have the quota set directly on the right click, properties of the drive however I notice that FSRM is a much better way of doing this. Our folder structure is as follows: E:\Students\IntakeYEAR If I apply the Year 7 quota template to E:\Students\Intake2014 does this apply it to that folder alone, or will it apply it to each user folder? What I don't want to happen is the entire Intake2014 folder to be limited to 200MB, rather than just their own user folders. Please can someone confirm whether or not this is the case? Thanks!

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but we'll soon see! Does anyone know of a batch/powershell script to use to set a wallpaper? If so, could you advise? Thanks!

Hello, Some of the machines in our network are set to boot from PXE by default - we want to find a way (from the WDS server) to ensure you have to type a password to launch the lite-touch? Or secure it, so that students can't just image a machine! As there are a lot of machines like this, we can't unfortunately just adjust the boot preference - hence why we'd like to do it from the server end ideally!

Never mind, I've got it to boot on a real machine rather than VirtualBox. Only issue now is, it's not launching the task sequence... But I'll look into that!

Yes I've done all of this as far as I'm aware. I literally only copied properties of files, replacing the old server name with the new one. I've imported the 64bit LiteTouch.wim into boot images within WDS.

Hello, I'm moving the server of which my MDT is situated on so I can revise it all and ensure it's all done properly. So far I've moved it all and copied information, however when booting a client I get the following error: Any ideas?

I like the look of Atom and Brackets - which one would you recommend out of these?

I see some people use Eclipse with a Shell plugin - not sure which download to go with on the Eclipse site though!

Which software would you use to write a BATCH script or an HTML document? Notepad? Notepad++? Or are there any really useful (free) alternatives?

Hello, I've configured all of the Google Chrome GPO options, however I can't find one to disable custom themes? A lot of pupils are installing silly/inappropriate themes to their browser and we want to stop this and set them to the default. Anyone know of a policy to do this? Thanks!

Hello, Really big ask, but someone couldn't help me put together a batch file that does the following: Looks for ANY printers on the system and removes them (from the old print server) Adds the printer for their department (on the new print server) (user input can be in place), adds all the resources copiers With no errors when trying to remove printers that don't exist on the machine etc. Also, how would I allow staff to install printer drivers - currently this requires administrative elevation. We are rebuilding our print server, and rather than go around EVERY member of staff, I'd rather GPO a reconnect printers desktop shortcut, they double click it and voilá all the printers are sorted! Please help!

We're using Meru

They are - this is the first thing we checked, gave it back to them with any that needed updating and it would continue with the issue!
