Ranger users should use DirMonitor.exe

Agree with the others, look at doing it yourself with on-site assistance from individuals (companies, contractors or peers) as opposed to a 'one size fits all' install. TBH most people who would do that would not be on this forum asking for comment. IMO is it a good idea to try and do all the things at once? EG Microsoft Learning Gateway could be added after it is 'live', just to break the task into chunks. For the record, Ranger Print Manager is not re-badged Print Manager Plus. However, not much between any of these apps.

Don't you mean the pre-logon wallpaper as opposed to the actual logon program? If so, its this registry key: [HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\desktop] "Wallpaper"=""

Is this any use? http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF009.html

NSS all the way mate. It does its job very well, as opposed to half-doing a few other jobs.

Used it a few times now and I think it is very good. Need to configure some templates to get the best out of it but gets my vote.

Ranger does not have a server or workstation build process. Most Ranger users use Ghost or RIS to re-image a machine and then install the Ranger client once it has completed with a simple logon. Package Builder is a good 'snapshot' installation tool but only as good as 'snapshots' installations are. Most sites use this or an MSI via Active Directory depending on the app. I think the level of support is very good. However, to be fair it is just a software product they need to support as opposed to RM to have to support everything you might call about. PM me if you want some sites local to you to talk to.

Think of Ranger as a half-way point between vanilla at one end and CC3 at the other. Have a good techie demo of Ranger and see where in that line you and your site want to be.

Think of Ranger as a good half-way point between vanilla at one end and CC3 at the other. My advice is to have a good techie demo of Ranger and then ask yourself a. What you could do yourself b. How much hassle would it be to do yourself Balance these against the costs and talk to others. Nicolabs points above are spot-on.

Don't dismiss Ranger Outpost as its a simple idiot-proof method of giving remote access to files for students. Its dirt cheap and secure as well. All it needs is a port forwarded (is that real english?) to one of your DCs. Its a good way for a site to actually see if remote access is really something that would be used and if so, then maybe explore something more sophisticated. You can download a test client program from here. http://www.rangersuite.com/products/outpost/index.asp

...erm, hope so, otherwise that joke doesn't work :oops:

Relax Mitch , i think that Forensic Software is the name of the company only. After all, no one gets upset that you can't buy a jungle from Amazon.com
