I agree Geoff it’s often down to much discussion and not enough men out there getting the job done. Its no use talking about problems without acting on them, one part of the article that jumps off the page is the fact that a number was plucked out of the air for this OS rollout. Does the number of machines you wish to deploy not depend on the technicians you have with the experience and knowledge to support them.

Some techniques and cracks available here Though it does say try at your own risk

Why not just post the link, as both positions are advertised on a public site?

I'm a bit hard on Teachers about this, but ICT has been part and parcel of a Teachers job now, and has been for near on ten years. We had a large sum of money injected into training via the lottery fund under the guise of NOF, (most of this was wasted on poor training programmes). And we are still getting NQTs in school who were part of a generation that were taught IT while at Secondary school, still not able to complete simple tasks on a PC.

The Testbed study used to small a group to be significant for Secondary schools nationwide. Take note of my above comment. Do we need classrooms full of PCs or an IWB for classroom use, which would be most effective? The what the research link just gives us papers on what has been done and is being done in some subjects, there is not much evidence in these papers on the raising of standards. The above is a quote from one of your referenced documents.

Are there any studies out there that prove ICT actually raises standards, not just presentation but standards? You may think the use of IT does, and indeed it may but is there any proof that in UK schools standards have improved through the use of ICT. You will all be aware that ICT use in badly managed classrooms can waste an incredible amount of time i.e. pupils not on task or playing with some other software package. You could also make a differentiation here; A Teacher using a IWB could be seen as a more effective use than a class of pupils sat at a PC working or not as the case maybe.

You can replace the Normal.dot template with your new template. Create a new template the way you wish your Normal.dot to look and save it as a template. Go to your Templates directory under the said user in the Documents and settings directory and you should now have a second Word template called Winword2 remove the Winword template and rename Winword2 to Winword, Word will now launch with the new Normal.dot settings.

You misunderstand. The lease hasn't expired. The Linux box is simply trying to DHCP RENEW it's lease at LEASE TIME/2. Windows DHCP sends a DHCP OFFER in response but with a different IP. This isn't how it's supposed to work (as per RFC). Windows DHCP doesn't seem to ever send NAKs. If it did there wouldn't be an issue. But if the lease has not expired under windows the same address is issued,

I'm not going to dispute this Geoff, as you will know more about Linux than I do. But it does seem nonsensical that when your Linux box has not been used for a period of time that takes it beyond the lease expiry date, that it could loose this address. So does Linux then give us the same hilarity as you described it, or does it just receive a NAK and then requests a new address like other clients. (A Storm as you described) or a simple Discover, Offer, Request and Acknowledgement the four steps in the lease process. So if your correct and Linux does as you say then surely its Linux that is broken not M$ as in your own words

Our Head told me just this week that BSF was running short of funding and has now become known as PSF (painting schools for the future)?

RFC2131 States that once the lease is agreed the DHCP process does repeat through the lease period a shortened version of which uses a dhcp request and dchp acknowledgment in communication between client and server. Why would this be different on Linux, if it is then Linux does not comply with RFC2131 and MS does?

Found this its made by HP worth investigating as its alot cheaper http://www.pcwb.com/catalogue/item/CPQAP354?speedtrapid=froogle&lead=froogle

Same as Simcfc73, changed it this year, use a netsh command during sysprep to set exceptions having modified the netfw.inf

I'm with Norphy on this; teachers have to go because they have something called directed time in this respect they are paid to be there. I've done these evenings in the passed and my presence has not really been required. If everything is working before the event and has been set-up correctly then an evening down the pub will be far better for my well being! Stay at home.

I've had similar results when there are time differences between the server and the workstation, though I cannot remember the error number I was getting it may be worth checking the time settings on the server and workstation. A stab in the dark but what is happening here also happens when there is a time difference. Bye the way Bart PE is a 32bit environment and does not use Dos drivers, so NICs are not usualy a problem when booting.

I believe the issue is with poor configuration of file and directory permissions this enables the google bots to index those pages. I will speak with frog about the open session issues but you will find pages on google that were indexed months ago. Would any developer code their software so that sessions were open indefinitely? And in many cases you do not need passwords to access information that would be deemed as sensitive. I brought this issue to the attention of Frog six months ago. As for the bases of the flaw mentioned in your last para, you will find that these sites are accessable from any internet connected PC.

The server is a Frogteacher box this supplies web services with access to the school network mapping the users home folder in Active directory so that it can be accessed from any Internet connected PC via Internet Explorer (Home School links). One issue that I am aware of is that Google indexes pages that you may not wish the public to view. This post on Google outlines a "Google hack” the search string used is in the first post. If one of the pages indexed has search facilities for the MySQL database the users can be listed, as with any other data stored there. I suspect this is where the person has fallen foul; they have found one of these links in google and exploited it.

Have you checked the path for the location of the .msi file it should be a UNC path ie \\server\share\clicker5.msi. If you browse to the file as in the above instructions the path will be local, your msi files are stored on a server share not the loacal C: drive. Could this be the problem?

If you purchase processor licenses you will need one license for each processor whether SQL server makes use of both processors or not. There is no need to purchase CALs as the processor license allows for connections from inside and outside the organisation without CALs.

Visit this page and search it comes up with several options.

Where were you buying your CALs Pete?

The Avantis CD server uses cd images on fast scsi drives, so speed of access is not normally an issue. Its going to be much better than most school file servers and as the post specifies you can also restrict access to a limited number of connections.

Plexor is right with this one the continual short bursts of charging/ discharging can invoke what is called the "battery memory effect" See article here Battery memory effect

I think Markcuk wants to add a logon script to the account properties.

We use white lists here as well as the local authority filtering. If a member of staff wishes to give access to the Internet then only the sites in their white list are allowed. We are finding this works better with some groups as they are not drifting off task by loading up some games site or site that has no bearing on their study. As you will know already it is impossible to control web access effectively through the use of blacklists, there are just to many sites out there to list or categorise, they will always find another site even using different languages to search for them.
