Mornin' all... Have deployed a load of managed IPads and forgotten to turn on Location Services on a lot of them. Anyone know how to turn it on remotely ??? Cheers in advance

Currently using Windows Server 2003, with a VBScript to add icons to my desktop for multiple users on the same PC. My script will make the icons appear with each user login but I am having an issue with the physical location of the icon. Is there anyway to automatically have each icon appear at a desired location? PC is 64-bit Windows 7 Pro.

Hi, We are upgrading our admin system machines here at school and instead of forking out over £1000 for Oneconnect to come in and upgrade them from XP to Windows 7, I thought i'd do it myself. All gone well except installing SIMS and FMS! SIMS is on our server. Gone into our S: drive, sims setups, found the SIMSInst file but that doesn't work- it says the 'Infrastructure is missing' so i tried the SIMS Application setup. All went well but on launching it, it says: The SIMS.ini file cannot be located or is incomplete which means the system cannot be automatically updated. What is going wrong? Help very much appreciated! xx

Hi, I am having an issue at the moment with Shared iPad deployment. The iPads use DEP and talk to our meraki console, where they are supervised and configured as shared iPads from that DEP enrolment profile. Once they have been supervised the devices think they are in San Francisco and we seem to be unable to change the location of the iPads. There doesn't seem to be a restriction set...

Afternoon all, We are running Server 2012 R2, and Windows 7 Ent on all machines. Users have their Home directory and profile directory mapped in Active Directory. We get this strange problem where the students mapped drive says "N: refers to a location that is unavailable. it could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network." The icon is there along with the location \\server\share but it doesn't have the drive capacity underneath. (I.e. 800MB free of 1.5GB). Another user logs onto the same PC and it works fine. I am assuming it is something to do with the profile or offline files perhaps. Anyone had this problem and know a fix via GP or similar? Not a major pain as the student just moves to another computer but figured I would put it out there as it's one of the many things I need to fix! lol Thanks

Our SLT are having a rearrange when we move sites and appear to be wanting to move our team of two from a secure (small) office environment that we have at the moment into an open plan area in the new library. We do have the server room and a general store cupboard for the day to day junk that we need to keep and we've wrangled those out of the new building, albeit smaller but manageable. I've got various concerns about this - physical security of assets, GDPR concerns surrounding privacy, confidentiality and commercially sensitive matters that I have to deal with, constant phone calls, difficult calls to suppliers who I am politely giving a dressing down, handling CCTV, the ability to concentrate whilst dealing with complex problems - the list goes on. We have a small workbench area where we do development and faultfinding and quite often have thousands of pounds worth of kit like laptops, chromebooks, cameras and server/network kit out. No ral provision is being made for a development area or work room. I wondered where you were all sited within school and what the pros and cons you have found of your environment are.

I have been tasked to write some VB scripts for the kids taking the ICT functional skills exam in January that will do the following: When the user logs on it will assign the correct printers to that machine and set the default printer accordingly. Delete any installed printers that are for a different room. This needs to work for laptops (we do not know which rooms these will be in beforehand so the user will have to select which room they are in.) For example: If they log onto a laptop in room 107 and select that room it will add the correct printer and delete any previously assigned printers.. I found one on here but am not sure how useful it will be: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/scripts/22475-printing-location.html Could anyone point me in the right direction or suggest a script I could modify? (Lazy I know but if the resources are already available why not) I'll continue looking on the interwebs in the mean time. Thanks guys
