Have you tried Go menu, Connect to server, and then type: smb://IPaddress/sharename

Used to be with RM. Had lots of issues. Left two years ago.

Thanks all. MultiDoc convertor sorted me out.

Thanks all. I ended up finding a free piece of software called MultiDoc Convertor made by Pawel Idzikowski. This does the job and doesnt add any watermarks or have any limits so is great!

Yeah that would be good but don't have Adobe Pro. - - - Updated - - - I tried the Print to PDF printer but it will only let you select about 10 files at a time. Any more and the Print option dissapears.

Hi, Does anyone know of a good way to convert Word documents to PDF. We have about 700 documents that need PDF'ing. Thanks all.

We are with Riso and they are the cheapest of the lot.

Thankyou for asking. Sorry I only saw your post now. We could definately do with some still. If you still have some where abouts are you? Thankyou.

Congratulations!

Hi, I'm on Windows Server 2016. I downloaded the Windows 11 ADMX files and theyve extracted to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Group Policy\Windows 11 October 2021 Update (21H2)\PolicyDefinitions Where do I put them now as they dont show up in GP Editor? And is it just a matter of pasting them in or do I have to delete the old ones? Also, will it mess up my current GPO's on Windows 10? Thankyou.

Is there a way to see policies that only target Windows11 or listing policies that have been imported in the ADMX templates? Thankyou.

Thankyou. Much appreicated.

Many thanks. Thats great.

I'm currently on a Windows Server 2016 with Windows 10 machines. Several GPO's are set up that make changes ot Windows 10. Is it possible to change any Windows 11 settings from Server 2016? Thankyou.

I'm installing Windows 11 and wondered if there was a way of automatically doing certain steps, eg. Choosing Wifi network, naming the user, prefernces for location setting, advertising, etc? Can I combine this into the installer? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I’ve got an issue where my Hikvision NVR will show in the Hik Connect phone app but if you reboot the NVR then it comes up as offline. I can access the NVR configuration via browser and can see in Network>Platform access that Hik-Connect is enabled yet the register status is offline. The only way to get it back online is changing the DNS and then changing it back, then saving. I’m using 8.8.8.8 so can’t see why there would be an issue. It’s been fine before. Once that has been updated, Hik Connect can see the NVR again. I’ve tried so many different things. Different DNS, reinstalled the app, logged into Hik Connect portal and removed and re-added NVR. At one time I wondered if it was because the NVR is on its own IOT network but tried plugging it into sane home network as my other devices and the same thing happens. Reboot and can no longer access NVR via the app. Any ideas anyone? Many thanks.

We are thinking of replacing our MFD's and looking at getting four machines: KYOCERA TASKALFA 8353CI What do you guys think? Any good? Stay clear? Many thanks.

I've always found it very easy to get through to them and have found their tech support to be good.

Thanks all. In the end what you say makes sense. Have just added our DNS instead and waiting a few minutes is fine.

My physical host boots up before the VM’s. One of those VM’s has dhcp and dns so I setup a static IP on the host and set google as dns. The problem is it says it can’t reach the dns server! Could my isp be blocking using 8.8.8.8 as dns? Surely I should be able to use any dns? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Good news. We are back up too. Happy Friday everyone! I need to be taken to the pub immediately now to relax.

We were back up. Seems up and down. Hopefully not long before things are sorted.
