Since creating the last mandatory profile the following problem has occured.
When I log on to the pc with a user that has a mandatory profile it brngs up an office installation screen and then a failure because it cannot find the source. This is only if the profile has japnese enabled in the office settings.
The fix to the problem is log on as admin and check the japanese box in the office language settings. Log off the PC and insert the office 2000 cd abd then log back on as administrator. This will install the required japanese features. Logging back on as a user with a manadatory profile is then ok.
When creating an image we must add japanese as administrator.

Setting up softwre installtion from Group Policy
We have a windows 2003 server.
Added the software package under group policy for my test OU.
On reboot of my test machine the folowing error appeared in the event application log
"The group policy framework should call the extension in the snchronous foreground policy refresh. "
According to microsoft support doco the policy "Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Sytem>Login>Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" is not set by default. This allows for the user to get their screen up more quickly. However for software installtion it means that itcan take a couple of boots to install software.
I enabled this policy.
The next error in the event application log was "Installation Source for this product was not available".
The share where the package was located had access fo the adinistrator only. I added read access for Authenticted Users and the installation was succesful.

WSUS 2.0
Listed are some issues with WSUS 2.0 and fixes
In the event log (application) on the WSUS server
Syncronization Event ID:364 "The parameter is incorrect"
I had updated WSUS 2.0 to SP1. The password to get through the proxy had been reset to blank. Puting the password back fixed the problem.
Syncronization Event ID:364 "File Cert Verification Failure"
From the WSUS server started a manual windows update. From the optional software I selected "Root Certificates Updates". Having Installed this update it would appear all sync errors have disappeared.
A few bits of information gathered on the way of researching this problem that may help in the future.
Program Files\Update Services\Logfiles\softwaredistribution.log
Bitsadmin.exe utility \support\tols on Windows2003SP1 CD or XPSP2 cd.
bitsadmin /list/allusers
wsdebugtool
0x80004002 reported in the client log
Link below sorted the problem out

Switch Configuration 4500 3Com
Had some difficulties bringing a 3com 4500 swith into our environment. Thought I would document some lessons learned.
Configured a static IP address and subnet mask from the console. Then I tried to ping from our admin side - no good.
I had a tie cable (cat5) running from our core switch to the 4500. The port at the core switched was tagged and part of both vlans. Removed tie cable and ran a cable to the other switch in the cabinet.
I configured the 4500 to have one port tagged. (note you must make the port a hybrid with the 4500 before you can tag it for the student side. I did this from the web interface. I then tried to tag the port on the default lan and was told the default lan can not be modified.
It turns out you have to modify the default lan via the console.
All now ok.
