Only a very few settings roam with LiveID sign-in. It's not a replacement for AD unless you have no roaming profiles, no redirection, and are happy with per-machine GPOs only and your Internet connection being destroyed by everyone's files being cloud-stored.

I would like to take this opportunity to profess most effusively to the assembled ladies and gentlemen here, that I NEVER left ANY coursework that late. NEVER EVER. (Honest, guv.)

My config file has savedir=N:\Tux Paint\ and that is working fine for us. Did you have a trailing \ on yours?

As SYNACK mentioned, if you are trying to prevent audio files from being too simple to copy, you could embed them into a resource file. I don't know what development environment you're using, but Visual Studio has built-in support for storing and retrieving data in a resource file.

I think I know what you're after even without the picture. Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Security Features > Add-on Management The setting you want to configure is Add-on List You'll need a list of the CLSIDs of the add-ons you want to allow/disallow. To get these, open Manage add-ons in IE and click the More information link for each one: Click the Copy but6ton to copy all the details to the clipboard, then paste to Notepad and re-copy just the Class ID. Now go to the GPO setting, set it to Enabled, and click Show. Add each CLSID into Value name, with 1 to enable or 0 to disable in the Value.

If we're talking about this one, it normally contains the postcode and what they call a "Delivery Point Suffix", which essentially identifies the individual letterbox that Royal mail deliver to. It does, therefore, represent the individual address (down to building level if you live in a flat with a shared letterbox) - though the data to translate the DPS to the address is not readily available, and most barcode readers can't read the barcode anyway.

Text search is a lot simpler to filter locally, however. I don't think there's an educational filter on the market that would let the search terms in your example get through. We have had internal discussions before about Maxim-style bikini images being returned. Our staff are fairly understanding about the limitations of automated filtering and haven't made a huge fuss; in most (but not all) cases of this we have tended towards reminding pupils of what is and isn't an appropriate thing to be searching for. Yesterday was the first time we really felt the technology had truly failed, and we reacted accordingly.

And there I was thinking I was missing out on something by never having been to Tokyo. Strict is considerably better, but still lets through a few I'm not thrilled about in a primary. Forcing it to Strict is the first thing I'll be turning on as soon as I have a system that allows me to do so (assuming its not on by default). I do think Bing has a lot to answer for though given that Google Images doesn't produce anything near the sort of severity with the same search on Moderate.

Now, I'm not a complete idiot, so I know that the various SafeSearch filters on Bing and Google are far from foolproof, but I never expected it to be quite this bad. one of our pupils wanted a picture demonstrating the high temperatures in Tokyo during the summer, and so typed in how hot is it in Tokyo into Bing Images. SafeSearch was on Moderate (default). The resulting images were not only wholly inappropriate, but not stopped by our current filtering system (RM SafetyNet). What followed was a total block to Bing Images search on our SmartCache, and a brief phonecall to Smoothwall to get a quote for a filtering system that actually works. If you too were under any illusions that SafeSearch helped at all, now is the time to think again.

I use the free version of Advanced Installer.

The primary is integrated (it's an all-in-one, a Lenovo M90z).

HDMI length is 15m. Not the most expensive cable in the world but I deliberately didn't go for a cheap option either. Like I said, I have some different cables coming in as I am leaning towards a cabling problem myself, as the interference looks very similar to that on my office computer a couple of months back that I found was down to a dodgy DVI cable.

It's very easy to make your own as you just need to copy the files and make a shortcut. I would post the one I have but a) it's quite big (60MB) and b) I've never been sure of the legalities of distributing third-party binary installers for GPL software. I think its fine to do so but something in the back of my mind has never come to terms with it.

One of the houses next to the school had the Sky installer clamp theirs to the metal fence along the boundary. OUR metal fence...

At a guess, check if you have all the chipset drivers from HP installed. Windows may have used generic ones which are causing some kind of bizarre interoperability issue. Back in the day I recall a ropey VIA chipset that had the opposite problem: it would cause problems with some PCI cards when you plugged in a USB device, that disappeared as soon as you unplugged it.

How simple do you need? Tux Paint is very good, but more suited for younger pupils.

The free version of Advanced Installer will do it.

If all a school uses their VLE for is transferring files between computers, they not only could replace it with Google Drive, but they probably should, because they've totally wasted their money on a VLE product they are barely using (and could already be using Google Docs for the same thing). If they are using it for any of the other myriad of things a VLE can do, then no, you can't replace it with Google Drive.

I installed a Mitsubishi FD630U projector in to one of our halls over the holiday, and have it connected to a desktop's second monitor output. The second monitor output is DisplayPort, so I've used a DisplayPort to HDMI cable to connect it to the projector's HDMI port. This works fine, except in one scenario: whenever there is a significant amount (anything more than about 15%) of pure black or pure white on the screen, a green horizontal 'tearing' effect appears on that part of the image, and the rest of the image also experiences some interference (not green, more like intermittent missing pixels). This causes a problem with PowerPoint, unless you set the background to slightly off-whiter (or slightly off-black). In extreme cases, the projector will actually lose sync entirely, then flick back a second later. The rest of the time, the image is perfect. This happens regardless of image resolution or whether the computer is in duplicate or extended. I've got different cabling coming in on Monday to test, and my next step will be to try a different computer, but am wondering in the meantime if anyone has seen this sort of thing before and knows what might be causing it?

Last time I checked (and this was some time ago, mind) you had to get authorisation for buying a copy of FHM and the like, even though there is no legal age restriction on them (whether they should have one is a matter of debate). I also once had to get authorisation for a bag of frozen sweetcorn, which the checkout operator couldn't even hope to explain.

WSUS is all well and good, but in my experience most fixes that Microsoft publish as hotfixes (the ones for which you have to request an email with a link to get them) are not published on WSUS, even if you search the Microsoft Update Catalog. KB2525332 is one of them, so having WSUS alone is no good. However, if you also use Local Update Publisher in conjunction with WSUS, you can use this handy guide to add the update to your local WSUS server. There are some setup steps you'll need to do to get LUP working first, but they are well worth the time investment.

Can you remove the phone, then untick the boxes when you add re-add it?

None of my album names are visible except for the new album called "Cover Photos" that contains the single cover image for Timeline (later it will have more, unless I delete the old ones). All my other albums are completely invisible to public view. As for group photos, they will appear in the timeline with the same visibility as the group. If the group is public, the photos are public; if the group is closed, only those in the group will see it on the timeline.

I tend to stick to 1 partition per VHD, but the question of whether to partition at all really comes down to the server role. For anything that has the potential to fill the disk unexpectedly (i.e. produces a lot of logging, or stores user data), its good to keep data separate so that disk space exhaustion won't bring the whole server down.

We used them in my last school for Adobe volume licensing, got a good deal out of them.
