I'd vote for Mdaemon as well - we use it here as a demo mail server which our Advanced Higher pupils install on a mini network lab and run it with a dial up connection!

Hi, We're using RM CC3 :-( The only user who can add components in Visual Basic 6 is the Administrator - can anyone advise me on what permissions need changing in order to allow users to add components (My Advanced Higher class need this facility) thanks, Ian (posted this on another forum by mistake - sorry)

Our standard user (unedited RM connect version) can set their desktop background using picasa, so it doesn't seem to be disabled by default.

Anyone know a way of disabling the ability to set a Desktop Background on an RM Connect network. Pupils desktop backgrounds disappear when they log off, but they can change it once they are logged in. I can't see anything obvious in the settings for the User Types or Global Workstation Settings in the Management Console. Is there a registry fragment which would do the job?

Doesn't work for me I'm afraid - I'm still just getting "%username%" printed as a footer instead of the actual value of the variable (assuming it exists in Community Connect of course)

We are using XP stations on an RM Community Connect network. I'd like to be able to identify the dimwits who print out huge web pages and then leave the results lying around in my printer. We had a reg fragment which did this for IE5, but I can't get it to work with IE6. If I use the reg fragment below, all we get is the string %username% printing at the bottom of the page instead of its value. Presumably the variable which stores this value has been changed. Has anyone got this working? REGEDIT4 ;These settings add %username% as a header to IE pages ; when printed [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup] "footer"="&u&b&d" "header"="Printed by: %Username% &w&bPage &p of &P" "margin_bottom"="0.750000" "margin_left"="0.750000" "margin_right"="0.750000" "margin_top"="0.750000"

Thanks - I eventually found the same solution. regards, Ian

We're still feeling our way around our new CC3 network and have a weird problem with our standard user profile: Standard users can't print from MS Access 2003 (they can print from other office applications) I know the setting will be in the profile somewhere but can't find it. Short of making all my users advanced, can anyone tell me what setting to change? What possible security problem there could be with printing from Access eludes me, but that's RM for you. regards, Ian

Many thanks - looks very handy. Ian

"They have another free program that you can set to automatically start playing a new slide when you drop it into a certain folder, or when a certain file has been modified it will automatically refresh and show the latest infomation." I'd like to get hold of this - do you know what they are using to do this?

I'm guessing that it checks every file access - it certainly checks any file on creation, so no doubt that is another factor delaying the logon process. What puzzles us is why it should start to be a problem now - nothing has changed as far as we can ascertain other than additional users (and the heat of course - we've put a data logger in the server room to see what happens over the next week)

We gave a yeargroup unlimited space in file manager as an experiment (the problem is at its worst at the beginning of certain periods when everyojne is logging on simultaneously. This seemed to improve matters, but of course the next thing that happens is that our tape backup will fail because our users are taking up too much space sigh.....

Yes we are still stuck in 1998 Recently our users are having to wait an inordinate amount of time for topic selector to complete its task (and often looks as if it has hung up) We're puzzled as nothing much has changed recently except having added the new batch of users and not yet removed the old ones. Could it be the heat? :-) We have memories of the same thing happening last year, but nothing specific. Can any kind person suggest a strategy for getting topic selector to streamline its activities (or is it file manager which is clogging things up? ) Ian

Well I managed to finish it eventually! Andrew Virnuls kindly send me the source code for his program and I've adapted it to read logs from our SSDN content engine (extended squid format) you can search the log for a username, or by using a word list (text file) and it will output the results in Excel or Notepad. Ideal if you want to track the activities of a pupil, or just check for badness (and if you put the RM filter url in the wordlist you can check for attempted badness ) If anyone wants the program just drop me a note - probably more useful if you are in Scotland and have had a Content Engine installed as part of the SSDN Ian
