Another vote for Yawcam! Simple, light, great configuration, free!

Thanks everyone. The CPU was installed by the company, as well as the CPU fan. There is a case fan on the front, although it's not plugged in as there wasn't a power spot on the M/B to use. Not that I could see anyway. The M/B is tight on the case, and there is a sort of plastic round tube which is connected to the case that sits over the cpu fan, presumably for quick air access. Perhaps a new fan then!

Thank notalot. Worked like a charm! Although the line#: cscript c:\xcacls.vbs c:\folder /E /p "Authenticated users":re;re needs to read cscript c:\xcacls.vbs c:\folder /E /p "Authenticated users":X Thanks again- couldn't have done it on my own

Hi, I recently bought and installed this bundle into a mini tower case. Novatech : MBB-542G Novatech Motherboard Bundle - Intel Pentium Dual Core E5400 - 2Gb DDR2 800Mhz - Intel G31 Motherboard : novatech.co.uk All works fine. However, I do notice it's quite noisy. Can anyone recommend a solution? Is there a quieter fan or something I can buy? Which one? It's all screwed in tightly! Many thanks

Hi, this is my first time using xcalcs. I have a folder c:\shortcuts that I want to make read and execute for all users on the domain, and full access for teachers and admins. I really need a command line that I can put in a batch file to run in a GPO. I've downloaded the xcalcs.vbs, but can't really work out the parameters, particularly if I need authenticated users R/E and teachers/admins full access. Needs to recurse into subdirectories too! Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure- certainly more than when I built a PC 8 yrs ago. Do you know of a cheaper site?

Great, thanks Michael. So in general a Micro ATX MB will fit a mini tower case?

Hi, My uncle's motherboard has gone, and he wants to replace and upgrade. He's given me the specs of his current machine as: Evesham Vale Ax1528000902 kit axis xtr (???) Mini tower case (352x180x365) AMD sempron 64 bit 3000 + sktam2 1gb ddr2 ram 667mhz 160gb sata 8mb cache Geforce 6100 (on board) Vista I came across this: Novatech : MBB-634G Novatech Motherboard Bundle - Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 - 4GB DDR2 800Mhz - Intel G31 Motherboard : novatech.co.uk : which looked like a good deal, but my question is will the motherboard fit in a mini tower case? I believe so, but would like confirmation from the experts! Will any micro atx fit MB fit in a mini tower case? Thanks.

Great, thanks everyone. Will call gamestation in the morning. Just got back from London, took me 7 hours on the M3 to do journey that normally takes 30mins...

Having got a new Wii with Sports Resort the other day, my 2 yr old boy has now managed to bite into the game CD. Now it won't load on the wii. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do, to prevent spending £25 on a new one?

definitely recommend evohosting, have several sites hosted there. Great prices and quick customer service. Instant joomla install too.

Hi, I have a working FOG server on Ubuntu, with a Win2k server running DHCP, XP clients. FOG works fine, and clients can PXE boot to the FOG server ok. However, I have a new machine I need to image with FOG, but the machine gets an "ARP Timeout PXE-11" error when it trys to PXE boot. Having tried other machines, they can boot fine. However the new machine, an Acer Veriton M464, doesn't want to do it. I've had the same make/model machines booting fine before. Any ideas? The fact that other machines are working fine points to the Acer PC being the issue. I might take the drive out, plug it into another PC of the same spec, and FOG it from there.

Do you know if this can be done under a system account? I.e. if I run this is a gpo as a script, will everything work ok, or does it need to be done as an admin user logged in? Thanks.

I take it the printer drivers are only downloaded if they aren't available? Presumably it doesn't do download each time? Also, we have roaming mandatory profiles- would this make any difference? Is there a way I can stop the drivers being downloaded? So many questions!

Cool, thanks. Out of all the things in the logon script, the printer bits take the longest. Do you think the line IF %Location% == upstairs CON2PRT /CD \\SERVER\UpperSchool_HP Will actually try and check the UpperSchool printer over the network? If so, it means that several printers will be checked during each login, slowing things down. We have Win2k still, until next A pril.

Hi everyone, I'm after a little confirmation that I do things in a sensible way! The longest part of the login script is the time it takes to add the printers. This is how we do it: A System variable is set on each machine, called Location, and this helps determine which printer to set as the default. The script 'printers.bat', called in the login.bat script, contains the following: IF %Location% == upstairs CON2PRT /CD \\SERVER\UpperSchool_HP IF %Location% == upstairs CON2PRT /C \\SERVER\LowerSchool_HP IF %Location% == upstairs CON2PRT /C \\SERVER\"ICT_Suite_HP_3600" IF %Location% == upstairs CON2PRT /C \\SERVER\"New_Build_Upper_School" IF %Location% == upstairs CON2PRT /C \\SERVER\"New_Build_Lower_School" plus 2 other printers Is this an efficient way to do it?? Thanks for your help.

Hi, When I sysprep a machine, I try and include the domain information in the sysprep setting (sysprep.inf). So when I take an image, it already has domain info 'inside' the image. FOG doesn't need to know about the domain stuff, just manages deployment. I know it doesn't answer your question, but it is an alternative. Read quite a bit about Fog issues with adding to the domain, although lots are successful with it too.

Thanks Michael. Another question for you! WHen you right click an image in FF, you can set it as the desktop image. Is it possible to disable this? We use bginfo to set the wallpaper on login, but would rather not rely on this. Also, if I make a change in Mozilla.cfg (i.e. change the default home page), what's the best way to update all the clients who already have the FF msi installed? Do I make a new GPO, and remove the original one? Cheers

You're right- turns out I missed the '//' at the start of the cfg file. Thanks. I do have 2 questions though. 1) I know I can deploy FF via GPO using the msi, but can I also just copy the files across to the clients? Does it need to be installed properly? 2) Is it possible to install FF plugins, and if so, how? Thanks again.

@Michael http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/42484-deploying-firefox-5.html#post407931 Hi Michael, I'm very interested in deploying FF at our school, but I'm having issues getting it working. I followed the instructions in the post above, created Mozilla.txt with lockedprefs, edited Hampshire proxy values, used byteshifter with value 13, downloaded proxy free FF "Mozilla Firefox (3.5.5) Logistix ProxyFree.rar", replaced the cfg file. The MSI installs without issue. However when I start FF, I get the Configuration Error "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator". Any thoughts? I had FF installed before, but removed this and Program Files\Mozilla directory and App Data\Mozilla directory. Still no joy. Thanks in advance
