Yep, i'v got my 1st Xmas dinner at this new school soon not sure what its going to be like, its a nice school so we shall see. D

Sheep make a "baaaaaaa'nned" noise not cows they make a "moooooooo" noise silly! D

Nothing as yet, who knows though theres time yet! D

I opt for storing them up, then when a member of staff P15535 you off take a hammer to them. It will sort the stress out easily! Or collect them and make large dominos to topple over all round the office? D

Either way, I hope you/they get well soon Steve! D

This gets my vote, used it on USB's before with much sucess. D

JEEEEEESUS thats an old printer! Erm, try logging on to the local admin account and changing the settings?Does it still change back? Have you checked permissions, make it so that user can print and only admins can change print settings? Bleeeeding P-Ports man!!! D

Yep their cheap as well and Toners last also if you splash out and get the 53X version. Im fed up of typing "Dan" at the end of my post so im abreviating it to "D". D

Should rip their fingers off and see how they like it! Lol

Im working until 23rd inc 20th and 21st Sat and Sun, got a lot to do at our latest big build. Dan

Yep that would work, put the settings you want on the server and they shoud, go down to clients. Dan

Well Said, we could all do without the phone going all day! Dan:confused:

HA HA hes gone for the easy way out... good on ya! Dan

Please let me know if anybody finds a good tape drive..... We currently have issues with compression ratios being too low. Dan

Id recommend "Recover my Files" by GetDataBack. Dan

We gernally go for HP2015n's as their cheap and reliable, well untill the last few weeks they were. We have had 2 break down and had to be sent back to HP for repair. Other than those we use HP3005n and HP 1312MFP for single user. But this printer also has a fault. HP know about it but continue to sell it. We got one for our Maths Dept, Installed it, they liked it and used it for weeks, then decided rather than walk down stairs to do their copying in Repographics they would just use the Copy Button on the printer. OOPS nope its disabled and there is no where to enable it on the in build menu. Rang HP, they had the same problem with the exact same printer in their office. Sent it back, it came back today working as normal, with the additional menu for enabling and disabling copying lol. Dan

Hey, I had the same problem, I was told from Adobe Support that if you install V9 from any other media other than their website that it can cause errors that will stop Adobe working correctly. Their solution was to roll back to V8 until the error with V9 was correct. As yet I have not had word back about when they plan to patch the error in V9 Sorry for the bad news, fortunatly 8 will roll out via RIS very easily. Unfortunatly for me, when I found out about the issue, it was too late I had just ghosted 500+ workstation with the same image that included a USB installed version of Adobe Reader 9. Boo whooo for me! Dan

Hey, Try this method, Set a logon script to run at startup. Inside the logon script enter: " REM ----FILL IN SERVERNAME AND PRTSHARENAME WITH YOUR DETAILS---- REM ----BOTH MUST BE SAME ON ADD AND SET PRINTER---- REM ----ADD THE PRINTER---- RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ga /n \\SERVERNAME\PRTSHARENAME REM ----SET THE PRINTER AS DEFAULT---- RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ga /n \\SERVERNAME\PRTSHARENAME /y REM ----RESTART THE SPOOLER---- net stop spooler net start spooler " Otherwise if this is not what you are after you can add a local printer that is isn't local but is actually network connected. To do this follow the steps below: 1. Open Pritners and Faxes 2. Add a new local printer making sure to uncheck Auto Detect 3. Select create a new port 4. Select Standard TCP/IP Port 5. Follow the Add printer wizard through entering the printers IP address and printer details. 6. The printer will then be installed as a local printer but connected via Ethernet. 7. To print direct to the printer and cut out the spooler, right click on the printer you have just added and select properties 8. On the Advanced Tab, select print direct to printer, unselecting Spool Documents before printing. Dan ;-)

Thanks Mark, I hope I can bring lots of info to everybody on here. I currently have 5 and half years exp working in Schools, not an amazing amount compared to others, but still its a decent amount to say im only 21! I Got a job in a school as a Techy streight from school. Dan

Sorry guys, but as yet smart don't have a solution. To make things worse, today a room of workstation has stated to display that the trial period has ended even though when I installed the software, I made a point of making sure it was registered. Any Ideas? Dan

Hi, Im Dan and i'm and alcoholic! No really, Im from Wath Upon Dearne in Rotheram. I work for a Computer Company that manage all aspects of ICT Networks in both Primary and Seconday Schools and also in Industry. This means I get to see both sides which can be usefull in some cases. Contact me if you need any help, im on here quite alot so ill get back to you quickly. Dan Rhodes :-)

Yep, we use Buffalo TS's and I find them expensive for what they can do. I would prefer to use DIY Kit, it would be easy to setup a decent Mobo with SCSI Card, 5 or 6 1TB Drives, and 2 1GB/s Nics teamed up for extra Bandwidth. Cheaper and probably less problematic. Unless you can afford the HP solution. Dan

Get a box, install FreeNAS, install 5 x 1TB drives and set as what ever raid you like. Problem Solved... Dan:troll:

Mmmmmmmmmmm SuperJanet we mere mortals can only dream of such service!!

Hi, They have two load balancers, both decided they were masters which as you can imagine caused issues, a new proxy was released with the address of newproxy.yhgfl.net. The BT address secondaryproxy.bty-h.org.uk that normally resolves to proxy.yhgfl.net was stuck on resolving to that address, and not the new address newproxy.yhgfl.net. That is the reason they were asking people to flush their DNS in their proxies, to update the address that secondayproxy.bty-h.org.uk resolved to. Good old YHGFL. Dan
