Doesn't look very free to me. Thankfully I managed to find and download the last Free edition. Cheers.

Morning all. I was wondering if any of you have the installer for the last 'free' version of MinecraftEdu prior to it's 30th Jun cut off? I'm not sure of it's version number. Cheers Stu

Nope. It was built as a full, fresh image and imaged using Acronis. I may have made a bit of a breakthrough. I've created a new profile and it seems to work, now?! I need to test it more and try and 'break' it, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow as i've got to power off everything for some electrical work happening tonight. Typical. Still no idea what was causing it, but it's progress though and i'll report back tomorrow. Cheers for the help so far. Stu

Hmmm. Not a bad thought, but we don't authenticate users through smoothwall. (If i've understood correctly)

Thanks for the reply. Can't update through student as i'm guessing it's a secure connection. Fully updated through Administrator without problems.

Windows 7 Client Server 2008 R2 It was hard to come up with a title for the thread as i have went around in circles for 2 days now. Student user has a basic mandatory profile. Log it on, on a fresh image. Every GPO is working fine. Internet, all fine and loads everything fine. Log off. Log back on again and HTTPS sites stop working. Everything looks fine in Internet Options. SSL 3.0 enabled. This continues until i delete the local copy of the profile. This is IE9 and Chrome. Chrome using system settings. FF works and also using system settings. Time server is fine as it works for admin and the student when it first logs on. I've taken machines and users out of usual OU and put it in an OU with only the Default Domain Policy where it only gets the proxy details (which is where i'm having another problem, but one thing at a time). Any thoughts at all? Driving me crazy and taking far too long. Cheers Stu

Sorted it. Bizarre. Hopefully someone can shed some light on something i need to set up or disable... I had one Policy mapping 2 drives. One for everyone, the second only for teachers. The way i set it up was to not allow students access to the 'T' drive. So it would try to map it for the student and then fail, but suppress the error and continue. Whereas on Win 7, it suppresses the error and then doesn't allow anything else. I don't think it's down to the order, either! Frustrating, but light at the end of the tunnel. Any ideas what i may or may not be missing? Cheers Stu

Nothing that jumps out, unless i'm looking in the wrong place. The folder redirections GPO that i'm using to test, applies the redirection correctly. But no sign of proxy from DDP.

Sorry Sparkeh. Didn't see your reply. I'll check now, but pretty sure nothing jumped out.

Another update... If i log on as a user with slightly elevated privilages first (I still can't see where they are), the student logs on and get's all settings as it's meant to. If i log on as the student first, the user with elevated priveleges doesn't get the settings it would have if it was logged on first!!!

Morning all. I have what i think may be a bizarre problem. We have an 2008 R2 + XP network. I'm moving over to Windows 7 and the current set up will not work at all. That's a Default Domain Policy containing 'defaults' and Proxy Server Details. Then 4/5 other GPOs containing specific Preferences, such as Drive Mapping, Document / Desktop redirections. This is working perfectly in XP. Now i've built a test Windows 7 PC, Proxy settings aren't applied for a student. After a bit of trial and error, it seems that as soon as there's a policy containing a User Preference, the proxy settings (my indicator) from DDP aren't applied. I'm very rusty in my GPO testing after spending a good 3 years messing about with it, so pardon the lack of other information gathered. I set up a new OU structure where the Win 7 Machine and Users are separate. Proxy is fine when only inheriting from DDP. As soon as there's a Preference added, it stops working again. I'd thought that getting the preferences working with XP would be the difficult part and that they'd be tailor made for Win 7. How wrong I was! Any help appreciated. Cheers Stu

Cheers Stu EDIT: I've discovered that if i add a user to another secutirty group, it works fine. But from what i can tell, the group is not a member of any Domain Admins or member of any other elevated groups!!!

Thanks for the reply Michael. No trusts, no data migration, completely fresh start for an entirely new department. I'm looking for any new practices before i start copying anything across, idea or otherwise!

Morning all! I am setting up a separate network from the original school network in a new building. A very simple network, one box, a DC, Server 2008 R2 Std, 10 permanent users (as well as visiting students) and the traffic is completely disconnected with the school now. What i'd like to know is what you do for user accounts / profiles / logon scripts etc. I'm new to Server 2008 so I'm a bit confused as to where to start and if there's any new features i can use. Previously, we had the user, a redirected my documents folder (through AD home folder) and a redirected App Data (due to a large amount of settings, through GPO) as well as a logon script to map printers and a couple of network drives. Happy to do this again, but don't want to go ahead and do it if there's a simpler way of doing things etc. Cheers Stu PS - XP Clients, for now.

Sadly a Uni student we had recently already had the job of auditting. Good to have these ideas for the next time, as no matter how much we battle it, there will be more work experience weeks...
