Its Rm's Smartcache "safetynet" which is allowing downloads from the site. Its group policy thats blocking the download. We have a ban on all downloads from websites unless they have been added (in group policy) to trusted sites. I have added sparklebox but the website shows that its in "unknown zone-mixed" which is why i cannot download from it.

I have added SparkleBox - 1000s FREE printable Early Years and KS1 teaching resources - phonics, posters, labels, signs, activities and more! as a trusted site and allowed files to be downloaded from trusted sites via group policy. This is fine on other websites but sparklbox for some reason shows up as "Unkown zone mixed" which then spits out the error message "your current security setting does not allow this file to be downloaded" Any suggestions how i can download files from this site?

I didnt receive my email from them (i donated) wonder if they are staggering the emails?

I agree that the exercise is utterly pointless but i suppose ideas like what my Bursar had is what happens when many "great minds" get together at bursars's conferences and dream up wonderful schemes such as cleaning keyboards!!

I have been asked by the bursar for a way that will ensure that all keyboards, mice and computer desks are wiped down to prevent the spread of bird flu in the event of an outbreak at our school. I think this proposal is entirely un-workable as it would require the equipment to be wiped down after every class but i was wondering if any other schools out there have been asked to do something similar or better still if you have something currently in place.

Computer config level, i have disabled user config.

We just have the one restriction policy assigned to all workstations. it is its own group policy object with no other settings

We are running redirected " my docs" and there is an option there to give the user exclusive rights to the folder on creation. Are redirected folders an option?

I have mandatory roaming profiles and sometime the active desktop background image stretches when they log off or when the screensaver kicks in....

I would like to have a script that would change the ownership of a file based on the name of the file. For example i have a folder containing users document folders named bursary, jbloggs, apupil and would like to run a script that would change the owner to the name of file i.e jbloggs and also add the user and administrator with full permissions. Does anyone have a script that can do this?

Is anyone using sims and software restriction policy with levels set to disallowed? Once a teacher logs on and clicks on the sims icon it naturally goes off looking to see if the server has been updated. I had to create 3 path rules in software restriction policies pointing to the server for SIMSAmparkSetup.exe, SIMSApplicationSetup.exe and SIMSManulaSetup.exe the upgrade seems to take place and ends up at the logon dialogue box but no upgrade has taken place. What else needs to be "allowed" in software restrictions to allow the end user to upgrade?

I have installed microsoft deployment toolkit on the windows 2008 server and have configured the distribution share,task sequence and deployment point succesfully. After creating the deployment point i moved the .wim file into my WDS server and booted? via pxe. When i select the image i am now getting Windows failed to start File : INTELIDE.SYS Status 0x0000098 INFO : windows failed to load because a required file is missing or corrupt. Anyone out there had this problem before through MDT?

I am looking to run add a registry entry when a user first logs onto a workstation via group policy by having a startup script (.bat) run a .reg file. The batch file is "regedit /s outlook.reg" which runs but still requires user intervention to actually install the reg change although i am using the /s silent switch. The strange thing is is that if i go into the user gpo>user configuration>administrative templates>system and enable "prevent access to registry editing tools" and the user then logs on, the user gets the error message stating that they are unable to edit the registry due to restrictions (which is what i would expect) they can then click ok and it enters the reg key anyway! I would either like the regedit /s key to do its stuff I.E not prompt the user to add the key or remove the dialogue box stating that registry editing tools has been disabled by your administrator. Any suggestions?

Do you happen to have the scripts to hand spuffmonkey? it would save my hair and my fingernails!!
