Or just press f7 i think!

Nice chocolate though, its for the OH said last year I'd get one and couldnt find one in the UK either! D

You've confused me!

You should print that and put it in his permanent file for when he gets older!

The mega sized ones that look about the size of a small cat/dog wrapped in gold paper lol!

Get in touch with some of the Smoothwall Guys on here they will be able to help you out with getting a smoothwall installed at your site. Cheap and they work fantastic I run one at home :-P

Tut Tut a local loopback is your 127.0.0.1 address, it's just another name for it. D

Does anybody know where I can get my mits on one of them massive Gold Lindt bunnys that are like over 1ft tall I want one for the OH this easter! D

Yes, put your prefered DNS as your PDC and then put the Secondary as your BDC, you can also specify your local loop back address in the Advance TCP/IP settings section, Properties -> Advanced -> DNS.

The alternate can be either itself if it handles DNS or it can be another DNS controller on the network. DNS best practices: Domain Name System(DNS) D

Not something I do regular. Define 802.1X authentication for wireless networks in Group Policy: Wireless You need to create a trusted and signed cert on your CA then export it to the clients via GP, this way they will be able to connect to your wireless network. D

Np :-) D

1. Log onto system (preferably as admin). 2. Goto start/run/regedt32 3. Locate key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList 4. This will show all readable profiles on the machine, it may but probably will not show information leading to the users original profile. 5. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\UsersName and note the profile name of the original profile, usually the same minus the domain information. Make a note of it. 6. Now go back to regedt and manually edit the duplicate profile location in the ProfileImagePath key to that of the original e.g: Original - %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\jsmith Duplicate - %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\jsmith.domain Change the duplicate to point to the original profile, save the change. 7. Now have the user log back in, and they should now again be operating on their original profile - bring on huge relief! D

Those can't be deployed. If you're seeking a 100% Group Policy administration solution, I guess you'd have to go with a certificate based solution where clients are authenticated through certificates that got rolled out with GP. The encryption keys can't be rolled out with Group Policy D

Yes you can do a direct upgrade although a clean install would be best practice especially if you have a virtual environment to do it in. Otherwise see below for help. Information and resources to use when you plan to upgrade Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/why-upgrade-2003.aspx hope that helps. D

How have you got on with this, is the issue sorted?

:drunken_smilie:Lol there are alot of beer related threads lately!

Use CACLS to set permissions from a script. CACLS q:\common\q:\common\STUDENT RECORDS\A-D\Foldername /E /T /C /G "GroupName":F Quick and easy. VBS is always good too Steve :-) although can be confusing for people at Chris's current level of scripting. Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("q:\common\q:\common\STUDENT RECORDS\A-D\") Set colSubfolders = objFolder.Subfolders For Each objSubfolder in colSubfolders ' Do the thing Next D

just put it into the excel sheet attached the script you need will be at the far right, copy and paste that into notepad and you have your script. D New_Concatenate_Example.xls

Ah right, if they aren't the home folders then it may be a slight more difficult. One way to do it would be to use Excel and concatenate and using the exported folder names using dir! See attached xls file. Concatenate.xls

What are the folders used for, to store students work when they log on, are they there My Documents folders? Or do they just hold info about the students that Admin staff will be using? D

Sorry, is that not what tape or NAS backup is for, seems a bit pointless to me does this!

Do you map these folders to a Drive letter that would be easier to script if you do! are they the students home documents folders? D

I would use a logon script something like... @echo off if exist "U:\ICT" goto end MKDIR U:\ICT CACLS U:\ICT /E /T /C /G "GroupName":F :end Exit So if a folder named ICT Exists in U: then the script terminates, if the folder does not exist then it will create the folder and set the permissions using cacls.
