No thread. I have managed to sort it. Short story, idiot that I am changed some permissions and removed something critical. Which caused things to go wrong. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Resetup and deployed. More annoyed at myself for doing something so stupid. But I needed something else to blame! Thanks anyway.

After today I have now come to hate, nay detest my sophos installation. But I digress...

Due to car being on fire in my street. Not mine thankfully. This is the second time in less than a year. Last time was really good as there was 20ft flames and everything. This time was far less dramatic. I was just saying I was a little bored. Well not any more.

oh it's better now. It's only £970, I know as I had to buy an extra licence last year. But was offered 3 for £1700. Bargain!

Thanks Synack, Yup I managed to figure this one out myself last night when I could not sleep!! Was one of those dozy moments . But many thanks for the help!! This will manage to keep some order around here.

Well that is what I have done, I have it exactly like this on 2k3. However if a teacher acct logs on they can add a folder in the media folder. I want them to only be able add content in to the 3 folders inside media. I have attached pics of what I have done. Anyone see where I am going wrong?

Well I have the permissions setup exactly as I would want and everyone can still add a folder or anything for that matter. So 3 folders can become 5, 6 etc. I want staff to only be able to create content in those three folders no where else.

I understand that. But the bit I can't get my head around is the groups bit at the star ie reader, co-owner and owner? I assume reader is read only and co-owner and owner are full access?

Ok.. In server 2003 setting up a share was easy. I am trying to setup a share that is read only at the top level (3 folders and people are not able to create more) Then apply folder permissions so that everyone can read but only certain groups can create folders in the original 3 folders. Does that make sense? Can anyone give me an idiots guide. As I can get the share working but am only able to get read only access or full access to work. Thanks

Can you give me some information regarding the specification of the PowerVault system. I am looking for something and what you have bought sounds exactly what I need. Thanks

I am looking to get some casio projectors to fit the promethean poles. So if you could dig out the contact it would be good! Thanks

I see you have some promethean software installed. There is some issue that can be caused when installing activInspire. I had the issue, but had to reimage the machine for an unrelated issue. So did not look in to the problem in any great detail. You can try looking here.

Erm with the barcode & finger print scanner? Just want 2 machines in the library I keep getting a jet DB error, unless logged on as an admin. Not high on the list of priorties atm, but something for Sept.

Yup it is the case, just backup the DB of the machine and then edit the local .ini file to point JL to the network share for the DB. But on a side note any one managed to get 2 machines using the same DB at the same time?? Want to use 2 machines and the network DB.

I place cut down version of our AUP message as a message before logging on. I imagine people do not read it, but it does become a large stick to beat them with if any incidents do occur.

Have a look at AngryTechnicians blog. Here. I found it a good place to start when I began looking in to windows 7.

Sysman, thanks. You have managed to impress SMT in one go! Can I have as large a resolution version as possible. Just I need to send the logos and millions of photos to the printers. Oh and if possible by Monday. Ta

Can those with better photoshop skills work some magic on this. It will be used on our prospectus and be sent to the printers. It's a version I have scanned from a letterhead. http://www.asj-inc.co.uk/images/logo1.jpg Thanks

Sorry I thought you were talking about the actual fog software.

I'm no fog expert. But the updating does not work behind a proxy. I found this out by getting an answer on one of the threads on sourceforge site. As for the other errors I can't really help.

There is a way, you can download the administrative templates for office 2003 and enable the macro security level. I will find the exact setting tomorrow when I get in to work.

Well the code has come from example scripts off the web and as you guys suggest is more than likely wrong. Shall give your ideas a bash and plod on. Will no doubt be back at some point!! Thanks Oh and on the code I input there are no spaces between the current version code. Must be the wrod wrap as suggested.

I am trying to teach myself to use VBScript. I have managed to get almost everything working on this script. However I can't get the last part to delete a reg key to keep our local profile start menu's in alphabetical order. It works in my batch files but not the VBscript. Can any one point where I am going wrong. Script below Option Explicit Dim objNetwork, strRemotePath1, strRemotePath2 Dim strDriveLetter1, StrDriveLetter2 Dim Command, prntchar, backgr Dim RegMenu, WshShell '------------------------------------------------------- 'This section removes and reconnects the network drives strDriveLetter1 = "M:" strDriveLetter2 = "P:" StrRemotePath1 = "\\server\sme" StrRemotePath2 = "\\server-1\public" Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") 'Section which removes Mapped Drive objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive strDriveLetter1, strRemotePath1 objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive strDriveLetter2, strRemotePath2 'Section which connects Mapped Drive objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter1, strRemotePath1 objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter2, strRemotePath2 '--------------------------------------------------------- 'Printing Section '--------------------------------------------------------- 'Creation of custom desktop background using BGInfo Set Command = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") backgr = "c:\windows\bginfo\bginfo.exe /i""c:\windows\bginfo\students.bgi"" /accepteula /timer:0" Command.Run (backgr) '--------------------------------------------------------- 'Start Ranger Print Client software Set Command = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") prntchar = "\\server\rangerprint\gpclient.exe data=\\server\rangerprint\data" Command.run (prntchar) '--------------------------------------------------------- 'Remove registry key to keep startmenu alphabetised RegMenu = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder"" /f" Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.RegDelete Regmenu Set WshShell = Nothing '--------------------------------------------------------- WScript.Quit Ta for any help.

Well the reason for going to 2007 is simply cost. We already had half the licences we needed. So only needed the other half. Where as with 2010 we would need to buy all of them. Increasing the cost. I would have liked to use 2010.
