School Networks Why do they have to be so difficult...

[kevlar557 0]

At my school, I'm a student computer tech, which means that I fix the computers that arn't working correctly. I'm also taking 2 programming classes, Visual Basic, and HTML. In order for the Visual Studio to work, all of the files and projects have to be backed up to the network hard drives after you are done working, and they have to be restored to the local hard drive before work can be done. Well, there is some odd problem with the scripts that backup and restore all of these files, and no one can figure out what they are. What happens is whenever I(Yes, it only does it on my account)run the restore program, it not only won't work, it disables access to my student network directory, which has all of my assignments, research, etc... The only reason this has to happen is that ****ing Novell and Sophos anti-virii will not trust Visual Studio.

have you tried looking at your access rights? Maybe its freaking out cuz you dont have high enough clearance to run jobs like that on the different servers.I had a problem like that at work where the different servers had different permissions and so whenever we ran a distribution job it would screw everything up and lock a cple folders cuz it sensed illegal access to the files.Unless you already have the highest level clearance =(I havent really used Novell enough either to know how all of its permissions and stuff work but hopefully it helped a little =)

I agree school networks are a pain. They block everything and there is constantly some program that got corrupted, deleted, or the save files were erased. I have also heard that each student is only allowed 5 megabytes for files (I might reach the limit first because I like MS Paint pictures and they take up so much space) so I will have to start deleting my art soon.

Amen to that-My school network blocks everything! Xisto, Outpost-Universe (my fav gaming site), Diablorealm (second favorite), and almost everything related to images (I guess they're afraid of us watching porn all day).We're allowed only 10 megs for stuff- not a barrier really, I just bring my 1-GB flash-drive to school. But they gave me the lowest access rights, I can't do crap- Run .exe's, .bat's, etc. etc. (They're afraid of me screwing with the system).I went to see the computer lady at school about it- and they'll be upgrading my rights, after I -- Give my SSN- Federal tax ID- Bank acct. Numbers- Sign off all my major organs- Sign an affidavit swearing to use for only school appropriate activities.I think I'd like to keep my kidneys :ph34r:Panda

I have to pay for internet access at school, and it is a private school. The Ku Klux Klan entry is blocked in WIkipedia

I agree.It seems as if most schools use some sort of a network, to block or other.My school network blocks all forums and basically all fun sites, and leave the boring ones.Basically, if everyone started going onto this particular site, the teacher will pounce, tell the technician, and he will block it.I don't see why, as the lower and middle school have everything blocked, and the 6th formers, don't.Rights of privileges I guess.Sometimes the defences go down, but they're only updating it...You might start thinking in bringing your laptop into school. I saw that one didn't connect to the school network but instead, just used the internet connection.Anyway, School networks are a pain.
