Or, you could simply run this batch script at startup, if you wanted it to be removed for everyone in a particular group: net localgroup administrators DOMAIN\GROUP /remove Maybe try: net localgroup administrators DOMAIN\%username% /remove That will work too! Will remove the current username from that group.

Thanks for this, thank goodness for our schools agreement!

Did this work for you?

Totally stoked this is out now, can't wait to work with the boss setting up our new domain Really? Can you provide me more info where you got this from? Looks like we may not be running exclusively r2 if this is the case!

Run this on the server on the user directory as this sets permissions on the folders inside. This is also assuming your folders are called by username. for /D %%i in (*) do ( cls CACLS %%i /E /T /C /G %%i:F ) That will give the user particular full control. That should do it. I'm no scripting god though.

I would use this http://www.wisesoft.co.uk/software/bulkadusers/default.aspx You can update attributes by excel spreadsheet, save it, then when you close it it asks you which attributes you want to update. r

As would I! :-)

I guess you are running (or should be running!) a proxy filtering system. If so, do you have AD integration? If so, surely create a new OU, move that user to it, then set up the proxy to deny all websites except a specific list/whitelist you set up? This is the only way I see it being possible? Cheers.

Thanks all - was something I knocked up quickly! Cheers witch :-)

Oh god how did I miss all of this! thanks!

Hi all, Can't find an answer to this here so am posting... We are currently in the middle of setting up a complete new network and one of the things I need to do on my old 2k3 dc is to add a UPN to the employee id field so we can use Moodle and integrate with LDAP. Now, I can do the addition of the employeeID fine, I have done a simple dsmod script, but the previous NM here hadn't set any first name or last name and only set the display name! This is causing problems for me due to the previous student naming structure. Do any of you have a script, or can point me to the right direction for a script which will modify the first name and last name attributes in Active directory with the first and last name set in the display name? Is this even possible? Many thanks for all your help! Rh91uk

Can reccomend ABTutor and a Vanilla network. That's what we use here, after previously moving away from Ranger like yourselves are doing.

Well done SysMan! Thats awesome!

I would be interested to know this as well as we are moving to Moodle. Is the script single sign on or would the user have to sign in with their AD credentials again? Cheers, rich

You could create snapshots using Wininstall LE and create an MSI to deploy the exe that way with before and after snapshots.

Hi PEO, I got asked exactly the same thing (even though it was me who produced the student AUP!) Please find enc the poster I did - simple, but does the job. cheers. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ALL COMPUTER USE IS BEING MONITORED.doc

Oh wicked, cheers

Hi all, Apologies if this has been posted before! We are looking to implement SIMS into Active Drirectory i.e for the addition of new users. Obviously penfold_99 is working on a new moodle block, but the need for this will be coming immediate in the next few weeks. Anyone use any tools/scripts to populate new users from SIMS to AD? Any advice or reccomendations would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Richard

No worries, I'll send you a PM when I can dig it out!

I have achieved what you want to do for a locked down account for the art exam that we had here. I ran a logon script that I wrote which firstly mapped the drive. Then, the script looked for the particular user in that drive. If the user has a folder in there, then it skips to the end as they already have a folder in there! If not, it creates them a folder then sets the relevant permissions. I can dig this out for you if you want?

This is excellent - thanks :-)

Totally agree with this, and also the Sharepoint Web Parts made us switch to Eclipse and we got this rather than the Acquisitions module included (as our librarian will not use the acquisistions module!)

Thank you all for your replies. Possibly Comic Life, then!

Hi all Just wondering ... do any of you create comic strips in house? If so, are the utlities you use free? Suggestions for free software would be great Many thanks

Here we run Exchange 2003 and a remote access system here. All websites are hosted externally. All web services internally are hosted on IIS. Over the summer we are moving to a combination on hosting our web services on Ubuntu Linux (where we can!!) and IIS7 for the ASP applications, aswell as upgrading to exch2007. Virtualised.
