What OS is your print server running? We have had all sorts of fun and games deploying printers to Vista and 7 via Group Policy. If you have 2008(R2), ensure that the print server role is installed and push out and create the group policies via the console. I have never had any issues deploying this way, just seems to work for Vista and 7 clients!

How many CC3 servers do you have? - I have had a similar issues in the past with multiple servers. Make sure that the drivers are being added to the server that the build process uses. I'm afraid I can't remember specifics such as where the drivers are stored but IIRC, the build server is specified in the build disk manager when creating disks. We had problems with the drivers not being duplicated across all servers, although I'm not entirely sure that they are supposed to. Can't really be any more help I'm afraid, been a while out of education and memory of CC3 is getting more and more patchy!

May also be worth temporarily changing the TTL settings in the DNS down to the minimum well in advance of the switch-over. That way the changes should propagate a lot more quickly when the time comes?

You can change the Sent Items folder on a per account basis as follows: Tools --> Account Settings --> Double-Click the desired account --> More Settings --> Folders Tab From here can you change the Sent Items folder from the Outlook Default.

You can't add another SBS box on to the same domain, whether it be 2003 or 2008 (unless performing a migration, in which case you get a 21 day grace period). You can however add as many other member servers or DCs as you like but the SBS box must hold all of the FSMO roles. I have added multiple DCs to SBS networks in the past, usually for AD replication between branch offices.

I am off to the big smoke of central london to work for an IT support company as a consultant. Leaving the wonderful and magical land of education! (and Dorset!) But I shall still be very much checking in on the site from time to time as it has helped me out of numerous jams in the past, and will continue to do so I'm sure!

Is it all web pages, or just the MSN site that you describe in your post? Is the problem limited to IE - have you tried other browsers (already suggested). Do you use a proxy server - are the settings correct?

Anyone?!

Great info here - just out of interest for those of you that have them, where did you get your UCC from and roughly how much did you pay (if you don't mind sharing!). Thanks.

What problems are you having exactly? We have a CC3 package of ProDesktop that works fine but I don't know off the top of my head what version - i'll check shortly.

Have you tried with a variety of machines, and connected to a different area of the network?

In case you're wondering, the lmhosts can be found in \\server-name\rmrebuild\build manager\rm\source (forgot about that bit sorry:D)

For the first issue, check that your lmhosts file on the server is pointing to the correct server and IP address. It should contain the ip addrees and server in the following format: 192.168.1.1 server-name If that is wrong, change it to the correct values, save it and recreate your build disks, making sure they point at the right server also!

We went through the same process a couple of years ago as well when replacing our Forest Root. I questioned it at the time and was told that is standard RM practice. If you push, they will do a fresh install but I was told it would add another 2-3 days to the engineer time needed:eek: At £750-800 a day I decided against it! We had a few niggles to begin with but everything is fine now.

Does the one that went down handle your DHCP?

Wow! nearly 2 years since the last school closures! We are closed tomorrow btw! Woohoo!

As much as it pains me to say it, have you looked at the Pc World sale offers? There are some very good deals to be had, such as: Advent PQD5002 Desktop PC. Cheap Advent home and office computers from PC World.

This depends on how you have set up your security filtering for the GPO. The default permissions will apply the object to "authenticated users". Using existing permissions whill do exactly that - copy across any changes to the security filtering that you may have made to the original GPO. Being that you are copying a GPO to create a new one, and thus want the original as the foundation, I would preserve the permissions so as to keep everything the same to begin with. Hope that made sense!

No, doing that will simply create a link to your existing GPO. You need to copy and paste the GPO into the Group Policy Objects folder. This will then create "Copy of No Internet Privs" which you can then rename and link separately.

What are using as a build disk - floppy or usb memory stick? If it's a memory stick, make sure it is formatted as a zip disk and is taking the correct drive letter (a:). If it is taking c: you will experience the kind of issues that you are having.

Are you serious?? With an attitude like that I'd make you move your own boxes too. If we have small delivieries then I tend to just sort it out myself. If we have a whole load of stuff to shift, I'll ask the site staff to give me a hand and they are always very accomodating. I found out very early on that the site staff, caretakers and especially the site manager are the people you really need to keep sweet. Most teachers here don't seem to grasp that, and it's very much to their cost!

You may be able to create a dummy package with a registry entry for the serial number and roll that out on top. I have done the same thing a few times and it has worked before for me.

Have you/he tried Edition38, Club Gti, or any local VW forums? Usually all an aladdin's cave of spare parts!
