Ok, I havent got a clue if this would work but....if you login to the meraki console, go to systems manager > add devices Download the OSX client wait for it to appear in the console and see if it would let you do something with that. I'm not sure I would want to push Final Cut Pro out though with it ...it must be a huge install.

unless you have a decent (ish) monitor I wouldn't bother as most don't have a wide enough gamut something like this maybe: Eizo ColorEdge CS230 23 inch Black Monitor with Colour Navigator (CS230-CN) - Wex Photographic

if you get prints done for a competition you can choose the paper etc based on the lights you think they will have where your image will be displayed...can't remember where I saw this....dscolourlabs or onevision or something. in my experience all lasers seem to print photos far darker than they actually are.

@Wizborg how did you find out your dns forwarders were being ignored??

I managed to get this working - the string in my variable wasn't formatted correctly - it needed to be this: WshShell.Run "msg * /server:"& strCompname & " Registration is now OPEN" I have a scheduled task on the server which runs this.

Hi @Oaktech, I personally dont want to shutdown the computers I just want to display a message on certain workstations at certain time of the day - scheduled task won't allow that as the popup box wont seem to run in the user space.

ok so this is what I have so far: Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set oFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 'Open a text file of computer names 'with one computer name per line Set oTS = oFS.OpenTextFile("C:\RegistrationTest\Computers.txt") 'go through the text file Do Until oTS.AtEndOfStream 'get the next computer name 'store it in variable strCompname strCompname = oTS.ReadLine WshShell.Run "msg * /server:"& strCompname & "Registration is now OPEN" Loop 'close the text file oTS.Close If i replace the strcompname with the name of a pc it works fine but I don't think its getting the information from the text file and putting it in to the variable - any ideas?

Hi Nick, The task runs without errors but I think its something to do with the task schedular not allowing interaction with the desktop. I will give your suggestion a try. Thanks Simon

Hi Guys, I am trying to set up a scheduled task to display a reminder on all PC's, the problem is the dialogue box doesn't seem to appear on the users desktop, I have searched the net but not found a solution that works. I have tried changing the user the task runs as, setting as a machine scheduled task and a user scheduled task using msg.exe and various vbs methods but nothing seems to be working. This is on Windows 7. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I just tried to push this to a test machine running Windows 10 Education and got the error: Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Upgrade to Windows 10 Education, version 1511, 10586 - en-us, Volume investigating now

I tried to setup a hand in area a while back, without delete permissions and office 2013 just would not save.....maybe I was doing something else wrong but my Google Foo at the time took me to a page which stated that if the user didn't have delete permissions the documents wouldn't save, as soon as I gave delete permissions it was fine..... just my experience

office documents require students to have delete permissions for it to save, something do to with the way office works. this would explain why notepad files have no problems

in the WDS console right click your boot image with the correct driver and click create capture image......if when you have done this the capture images fails to allow the machine to boot. mount the image using dism, don't make any changes then unmount and commit, re-import the image and you should be good to go. oh an you will will need to sysprep the pc otherwise the drive won't show up in the capture menu.

Hi, you can add unsigned drivers, its just a bit of a pain to do. Injecting x64 unsigned drivers to boot.wim Download correct driver PXE boot > Wait for Error about Network Driver > Shift F10 >mount drive with driver on (Diskpark) and Exit Check you have the correct driver - boot the PC and wait for error > Shift F10 >drvload "\enter path to driver"\nameofdriver.inf > initializeNetwork >IPConfig /all - check for IP On the server – take a copy of your boot.wim # Mount the boot.wim image. dism /Mount-wim /WimFile:\boot.wim /index:2 /MountDir: # Add a single driver Dism /Image: /Add-Driver /Driver:c:\drivers\mydriver.INF # Or recursive if you have a directory full of drivers Dism /Image: < pathtomountedwimfile> /Add-Driver /Driver:c:\drivers /Recurse # For unsigned drivers Dism /Image: < pathtomountedwimfile > /Add-Driver /Driver:c:\drivers\mydriver.INF /ForceUnsigned # Save the changes to boot.wim. Dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir: /Commit

My wife is a vet nurse and the same applies....... to be honest I think it's the same whatever profession you're in.

Have to say I think the functionality is limited on my switch/controller, no easy way to add a captive portal etc

I have found that entry level DSLR's (if you have one) seem to offer better quality recordings than a camcorder that's a few hundred quid. Only problem with DSLR's is that they can only record 20 mins continuous footage. also you may want to consider a hot shoe microphone as sometimes you can hear the focus motor in the recording.
