  1. Users are in OD, made by importing a CSV file so it was possible to mass import them all. Home areas are all stored on our XServe which was all done through WGM In order to unlock the keychain you need the "first ever" password used on the Mac admin account. I'm under the impression the old password is this password. So is this more of a roaming keychain rather than a local?
  2. it's true, never seen the RIP section. I think we'll just find a way of bodge jobbing a BBQ to cook soup or something along those lines.
  3. What if users don't know the old passwords, some of the old passwords are administrator passwords on the new Macs...
  4. I never saw a problem with the Gas canisters at download, but then it could have got worse last year. Unfortunately a red hot gas canister isn't the easiest thing to hide by quickly chucking it in your tent. I'm certainly not buying the food in the site though. I wonder if we can break in the RIP section just to cook?
  5. I'm definatly going on the wednesday also probably wont take clothes, just aload of food and drink! I write Edugeek on our pirate flag, if you see that somewhere in the camp site then i'll be very suprised! At the moment its planned i'm going along with another two technician from my college course so they won't mind
  6. can't wait for the summer. We have the PE block oppisite us, they have mirrored windows so if the sun isn't shining directly in the windows reflect it into our window. Sometimes it makes it like 4 times brighter, which isn't great on your monitor.
  7. no, used all those on MCR in 07 Actually thats a lie, to busy being trappled to death in the middle of Korn. I almost want Korn to be in the middle tent for the sheer chaos of it all. I love Blink, ahaha, Could never throw p*** at them! GOOD NEWS, got the time off for download, will go buy my tickets tonight. Look out for a camp with a pirate flag and someone with dreads underneath it. That would be me
  8. thats funny until the end. he must wake up so confused! and he run into a wall!
  9. i'm sure this is all well and good, but could you drive to america in one?
  10. Can I get a WOOP WOOP!
  11. I could be COMPLETELY wrong with this and with a large drive it would take ages anyway but with a machine in one of our labs it was running a chkdsk because it wasn't shut down properly. I noticed that it was deleting some files called Zlob, which I know for a fact Zlob DNS Changer is one of those nasty virus' which is a pain to remove. I'm not sure if this would solve the problem, perhaps someone could tell me if this was removing infected files, or have I got wishful thinking?
  12. I love the sun. So much It's almost like it charges me. At home it shines straight through the living room window about half 8. Sucks for watching TV, but sitting on the sofa with a nice coffee or orange juice (with the bits, has to have the juicy bits) with Sun glaring down on your face. You just know its going to be a good day from then on. In the words of Katrina and the Waves
  13. OH with MS we have DNS issues, log on scripts going fubar, exchange profile faults and all the rest. All networks have they're issues. And I didn't say "MAC NETWORKS SUCK!!" I did word "It all falls apart." incorrectly, I should have said "Ours all fell apart" I'm sure there are fully working Mac networks with no issues at all. But, from my experience, the Mac network is very fiddly to maintain. For example one fix breaking something else and then that fix causing something else to go wrong! And, like Mac_Shinobi said, I have asked for alot of help and alot of the help has been very useful and I thank you all for it. But we still have our problems which, IMO are almost pointless, such as the Safari Keychain not actually in use yet still persists to cause annoyance. I am certainly not judging the whole Mac network on a Safari Keychain, like you say, I am however judging it on the method of giving permissions and complexity of it all to someone who has been using the Macs for under a year, being thrown in the deep end with limited training and only having knowledge of Windows Servers and permissions. I hope this gives you a better understanding of the position I'm in, and calms you down that little bit more. (your post sounded angry)
  14. Can't stand the band =P the fact i would pay for a leeds ticket to go see them explains everything haha
  15. IMO Mac's are great Expensive But great. As soon as you plug a network cable into the back of it. It all falls apart. The Mac network, even with just using WGM and OD, no AD integration or anything require so much effort to maintain. We even had a professional to set us up, yet some of the Macs insist on updating from the internet not the server. Some Macs still can't run applications because they're not allowed, even though its been added into WGM 7 odd times. Some Macs crash because a user logs out. Some Macs can't visit a web page without Safari's Keychain flashing in your face several times! WHATS THE DEAL WITH THAT! If anyone can help stop any of these errors happening, feel free to PM and I'll try give a bit more patience to the Mac network.
  16. If they are all stand alone machines you can find the option in the system preferences, accounts, select a users and then select login items at the top of the window. put the application or script in there. If they are not stand alone machines then I wouldn't be sure unless your using Workgroup Manager, then the second post is the most useful
  17. If you got to applications and then go to the utilities folder it is in there. Can usually find a list of errors in the Console Messages or system.log under log files. alternately you can click on go (on the top menu bar) and there should be a utilities option in there and you'll find the console in there.
  18. I have a 4 petabyte pc which is almost full, will that cost me £39.99? Okay, I did over exaggerate, but doing all those scans on a huge amount of data would take hours! If I do jobs, its usually for people I know and they force money onto me. I'm one of those softies that doesn't like to ask for money.
