If that is his real name, and he has already been found out before with http://www.alevelwork.com, then he is very very stupid to post his details on there.

Funny this should come up but IU also am looking to order two replacements for our Hitachi CP-S210 projectors. Found these sites on the web and they have the remote but not sure about their credibility? http://www.avukltd.com/remotecontrolsearch.php?source=googleadpower_replacement http://www.espares.co.uk/remotecontrols?WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=tsw0143

I wouldhave thought this was a simple GP setting, but I can't seem to find it anywhere!

Ok, done this no problems. I'm getting a bit stuck on this. Presumably you are talking about local group policy settings on the PC with the certificate added. First of all, 'Enterprise Trust' can be found under the User configuration route, not the computer configuration route. I presume that it what you meant. Second, when I add a 'code signing' and then I can add a certificate to the list, I cannot find the 'Text Help Systems' certifiacte in the list. I try to add one by file since I have exported the certificate, but it tells me only 'self-signing' certificates can be added. At this point I am stuck. One last question, if I were able to set this up as you have described, does it feed back to the rest of the network, or is this just for that PC?

Thanks Lord Edam, I will try this tommorow. Thanks for the 'fixed' ini too - we have already had complaints of Acrobat reading everything out!

One share for each year. Group Polcy set to redirect 'My Documents' to user folder. Also creates user folder if one not already in existence. There is a KB on Microsoft's site on how to set up the security settings on the share to stop pupils seeing other's folders, but to keep Administrator access open: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288991/en-us I know setting up home folders is the traditional way with a windows server, but I prefer this way and I've never had any problems with it. I would be interested to know the benefits of using home folders over this method though.

We are trialling Texthelp's Read & Write 8 Gold software. I have installed it on the network through a custom MSI. But what I didn't know and what they didn't tell me is that the install puts a word template with a macro in it into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP. This means that every time word loads, it runs the .dot and asks about the Macro - you have to tick 'Always trust macros from this publisher' and then enable the macros. Is there away I can import a certificate with the trusted publisher information automatically through group policy?

We have manually assigned Static IP addresses for a while now. Of course, changing to DHCP would make things a little easier, but would we have the same amount of control over our network?

@ Chris Is that a GP setting in R2? I can't find it on my R1 server? @PiqueABoo I have IE7 at home and cbeebies full screen works fine. Must be something else. Bet you get sick of listening to the spooky spoon song eh? TeeHee. I'm sick to the teeth of the Alphabet March!!! Of course, I always listen to it one more time for my little'n.

Anybody come across this problem? Is it talking about users being able to change home page despite GP settings? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/12/ie7_critical_update_managed_desktops/

Wow, 'Auto it' is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks Chris! Glad you were waiting for your server disks to format. Hope it's nothing serious.

Thanks Chris, and well done for winning the fastest reply on edugeek award!!!!

I remember my Mac days, ahh when I was able to record my exact actions on the desktop and save them into a script with applescript. Is there anything like that on Windows? I want to have a simple script, which will run a program and then click on when a box appears before the program opens up. This script must be able to run with windows scheduler. Sounds like it should be easy. Is it?

I think it would be better if they had a simple OFF button

They do have an automatic time out where they are supposed to switch themselves off. You can change this through the software via the radio link, but when we last put them away, none of them had the display showing, so in my books that would mean they were off?

We purchased the GeneeUs voting system earlier this year, but the Maths teacher who was the most likely to use them left. They haven't been used at all in the classroom apart from a few training sessions. Just come to get them out and all but three of the handsets (there's 33) aren't working. The batteries have all gone. This is after replacing the batteries once allready in many of the handsets. Some of the batterys went after just weeks of having the hand sets - without any use! Batteries aren't cheap and it takes ages to replace them all since they are held in with a screw. Why are these habdsets draining the batteries when not in use?

Copy the profile of which ever user was used to install Office (usually local administrator) to the default user profile, then delete all local profiles from the HD. We do this as a matter of course now before we commision new PCs

Another question: Do we have to buy the upgrade off the original re-seller? We had a bad experiece with the company we bought the first boards off which were all TDS boards. We have recently been using another company for the newer promethean boards. Can not this company provide us with a board upgrade?

So what you mean is we have to buy a license for Activstudio to run it on the older TDS Activboards?

We have just bought 8 new 78" Promethean Active boards and they have come with ActivStudio. I have tried Activstudio on our older TDS Activeboards (bought around 2002ish just before Promethean took over) running on USB. The new driver works fine, but when you run Activstudio, it asks you to install a 'Promethean Activboard', then the software quits. If I unplug the TDS board, Activstudio will run fine. How can I get the software to work with the TDS board then?

Mmmmm Well, something is blocking it. Here is my code: if ($_POST['formsent'] == "1") { if ((($_POST['name'] != "" && ($_POST['email'] != "" && ($_POST['story'] != ""))))) { mail("[email protected]","Story from website","".$_POST['story']."\n\nFrom:".$_POST['name']."\n\nE-Mail address: ".$_POST['email']."\n\nYear of leaving: ".$_POST['year']."","From: ".$_POST['email'].""); ?> Thank you.

Please ensure that your name, e-mail address and the story fields are complete. } } else { ?>

Chris, does it use sendmail then?

Ok, I'll wait and see what CLEO says on the matter. But they must have a solution for a simple web reply form.

I'm not great with PHP so my brother set me up with a simple email reply form which can be filled out and it sends the content to my email address. My brother tested it on his own web server (completely seperate from CLEO network) and it works fine, I happily received the replies in my inbox. As soon as I put the page on our CLEO webspace, you can fill it in and it happily tells you that the reply has been sent, but I'm not getting the replies in my inbox. Running the PHPinfo thing from our webspace shows that 'sendmail' is enabled on the web server. I'm just wondering if they block it somewhere else. I have emailed our cleo contact about this but just thought I would ask on here to.
