Not via GPO (as far as I am aware) but you could script it..... for e.g something like this will check if a program dir exsists, and if it doesn't will install the MSI! @echo off IF EXIST "C:\Program Files\......" GOTO Fin msiexec /i \\path\to\msi /q :Fin

What OS are you running? If it's 7 or Vista, try turning UAC off on the machine and try rebooting the machine.

No prob .....

Our selection is "November 2009" as that was the last round of exams we did in school. http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4064/exams.png

Yes, there is! An example.. for /D %%i in (*) do ( SetACL.exe -on "Z:\homedirs\%%i" -ot file -actn setowner -ownr "n:DOMAIN\%%i;s:n" SetACL.exe -on "Z:\homedirs\%%i" -ot file -actn rstchldrn -rst "dacl" ) Change "z:\homedirs" to the path to your my documents store on the server. Don't remove %%i as this is the folder name for each user (the username). Change DOMAIN\ to your domain Save it to a directory on your server and name it "Perms.bat" (for example) You need to run the script on the server, and have SetACL.exe in the same dir as the batch script. Download it from Download SetACL: Windows ACL management from SourceForge.net

That might be quick and dirty but it works for us! Thanks so much.

Thanks chuckster too - that did the trick

Hi Styart, I haven't as I have blocked any kind of network discovery so it is there but not functioning. If you do find a way let me know!

Hi all I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this. I don't need to hide the network part of Windows 7 (although I guess that would solve this problem!) but I would like to stop them "searching" Active Directory. Is there a gpo I have missed that can block this? http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6224/netwotrk.png Cheers Rich

Hi Steve - thanks for your reply. I have found the GPO setting literally 2 mins ago and it works a treat: User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar, this policy is called “Remove common program groups from Start Menu”.

Hi all, A quick one. There are shortcuts in the default All Users profile which carry down to the main desktop on the teachers profile. We don't redirect the desktop - GPP's create shortcuts. http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/1046/shortcuts.png Anyway of making these not appear? Cheers

You are a star creese! Neveru sed it before, but if I get the login box I asssume it works! Further than the Workstation ID error! Cheers!

Thanks creese - I can do that, I just need to add the workstation ID to SIMS System Manager DOS now

Yes, okay, I know it is old and antiquated. Our Admin team did not move this over and they use it rarely to pull old data off (such as Exams for students that were here years AND years and years ago!). I have instructions to re set this up but need to get into SystemManager DOS. How do I get into it? Never done this before.. Cheers! R

Thanks teejay

Okay, I fixed Point 2 by turning on the Remove common program groups from Start Menu (User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Start Menu & Taskbar) GPO, 1) is still needed though

Hi sall - just a quick one. Redirecting our Start Menu here ... 1) How do I set it up so shortcuts appear in the below box (if I click "Alll Programs" I see my redirected start menu!) http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/457/blankgu.png 2) How do I stop the start menu copying all folders from the default user profile into the start menu (for example Accessories, Administrative tools..) etc. I used to know the answer for the latter but I have completley forgotten! Cheers, Rich

Hi all, For some reason, even though the GPO has been turned off, I still seem to be getting a classic start menu on 2 machines I have tried to log in to. User is not using a roaming profile. Any ideas? cheers, Richard

Thanks this seems to have fixed it ... how annoying!

Hi all Just setting up the Windows 7 GPOs and must of enabled a GPO that blocked me getting into My Documents (see below)/Stop it redirecting http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/8619/docsproblem.png Any ideas while I strip it out to track it down? Cheers

Sometimes, Sivadam - I feel two different points of view (Granted half of you are on support net) are good.

@Ian_ICTDS - yes, I will use a result set for this case for every year group as I have lots of tests/unit for different yeargroups @Ian_ICTDS and @vikpaw - thanks again both of you for your sound advice.

Thanks for this Vik. I think I will go for creating Aspects for each test - whereas this might look massive, have lots of aspects, overloaded - it seems like it will give a better audit trail. Thanks.

Do you delete all drives before remapping on the next logon? That's what we do here and doesn't seem to cause an issue.
