What are the best printer deployment practices for Win Server 2012 R2?

I have about 40 printers deployed around my school. My users move around my building and log into several computers throughout the day. I need to consistently get the correct group of printers to map to the computer upon startup and set a default printer.
I have tried to use GP, but the inability to set a default printer within the computer policy is a crippling issue. I have tried using third party software (Kaseya DPM) where I can set printers and default printers, but the real-world, daily deployment is
inconsistent. I have a logon script that I used to use, but the printers were trying to map before the network was established; the printer mapping was failing because the script was too fast.
This is not a new idea. What is the best way to consistently deploy printers that are mapped to specific computers?

Why not using user policy with item level targeting for the computer name?

What are the best settings to use for the newest AirPort Extreme (AC wifi) with my optimum online service provider?

I have the current generation of the AirPort Extreme and a handful of devices that utilize the new 5Ghz A/C frequency. My internet speeds were blazing fast when I had first set it up but lately it has been lagging terribly. I was told that changing my dhcp did help, which it did it seems like it might be back to its normal speeds but I just want to know what are the best settings to configure for the airport so that I can get the most out of my service on all my devices? I'm using a CAT 6 cable which does help, I have a guest wifi setup with a wifi password which I understand will slow it down a little. Can anyone just point me in the right direction or just give me a step by step guide on what settings to configure? Should I really consider turning off the guest network?

I am assuming that you are looking to configure your network to provide the highest level of bandwidth possible for your network clients. If that is the case, the following are a few things to consider:
The Internet modem should support Gigabit Ethernet. That is the Ethernet connection between the modem and your 802.11ac AirPort Extreme should be Gigabit Ethernet.
Use CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cables between all wired connections.
Only expect 802.11ac performance with 802.11ac clients in the same room as the base station.
Eliminate or significantly reduce any forms of Wi-Fi interference on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands.
When streaming, especially HD video on your local network, use wired connections between the host and player devices when possible.
Other than the above suggestions there are no "magic" settings that you can make on your AirPort. Note: The Guest network shares the same bandwidth as the "main" network. Unless you have a network goal to provide this type of network, it is best left disabled.

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import? Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...

What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

• iMovie'08 to 11
- Share to Media Browser - AND as Large (or Medium) - HD or other resolutions degrades the final result
iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choise if quality is important as they all degrade the picture by discarding every second line when going from, Event's to Project's and this can not be mended.
iMovie HD6 and FinalCut delivers 100% of what any DVD-Authoring program needs.
• DVD is as standard MAX - intrelaced SD-Video - and can not be any better than this
• iDVD does only care about TIME / Duration as
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
• iDVD Does Region = Zero (to be played everywhere)
• Frame rate - DVD can be in two types PAL (25fps) and NTSC (29.97fps)
If Your material is 30fps then keep to NTSC (29.97fps), if 25fps keep to PAL.
One can feed iDVD the other frame rate - BUT RESULTING DVD WILL BE BAD
I use JES_Deinterlacer (free on Internet) to convert all material to the same and final frame rate
• NTSC - US etc
• PAL - EU etc

What are the best Color "Display Settings" for both my Macbook Pro Retina and Thunderbolt Display??

I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display for my MBPr (early 2013) and was wondering what were the best settings for both to obtain an equal color and graphic appearance. I want to have them identical for working on graphics and illustrations.
Thanks

I have the same laptop. There's nothing you really need to do to optimise the system. Perhaps just install the cuda drivers.
It runs premiere like a dream.

What are the best quality wireless speakers for use with iTunes

I'm not sure which is the best forum for this. SO here goes:
I want to replace my wired powered speakers from my iMac with wireless so I can place them further away and clean up the desptop area. I want decent sound and volume not tinny little portable junk. But it doesn't need to meet audiophile standards either,
What am I looking for? Thanks.

Intel processor in you MB Pro? Need it to capture avchd.
regarding file size and the need for external drive:
"AVCHD output files are about 120Mb per minute of footage. The converted output file will be about four times the size of the input. This is because AVCHD is a highly compressed HD format and we are uncompressing it into a Quicktime-friendly high definition format. Our example 1 minute AVCHD clip becomes about 500Mb in size, after conversion.
The final size of a converted clip has a lot to do with the amount of movement in the clip. A lot of movement will mean a larger file. Action clips can be as high as 7 times the size of the raw clips."

What are the best portable Bluetooth keyboards for 3rd G and 4G iPod Touch?

I have both a 32 Gb 3G iPod Touch and a new 8 Gb 4G iPod Touch which I am trying to determine the best choices of a portable (folding or otherwise) Bluetooth keyboard to facilitate faster typing than using that on the iPod. I have reviewed similar excellent threads for recommendations for folding boards for the iPad, but these threads are two years old with last entries in 2010, so I am opening this thread in hopes that additonal product recommendations might be available.
My purpose is to select a good quality one that functions well for a touch typist (moderately skilled). I am thinking that the Apple one is a bit bulky to carry around, but also I realize the folding models also have limitations for touch typists. One I have been considering recently is the Verbatum Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Folding Keyboard for various later model Apple products for iPhone, IPod, and IPad that is currently selling around $50.
I would appreciate any experience and recommendations that people that have use this product or others that they would reccomend.

What are the best accessories to buy for an iphone?

I bought an iPhone this xmas, and i'm curious which are the better or best accessories one should buy?
I'm thinking of another usb cord, so i can leave the dock on my computer and just bring the outlet plug and usb cord on when i'm mobile.
But then i was thinking maybe just buy the Iphone bluetooth headset as it comes with the cord, and a new doc, as well as the bluetooth.
I think it almost makes more sense to buy it since the usb cord by itself is a ridiculous $20.
I already have my iphone covered with a bodyguardz skin (on the back) and a crystal film on the front for protection.

I like that case. Its very nice. I wouldnt mind a pouch like case. I think i might get one of these. Thanks. So many colors to choose from
I keep thinking that i wont drop the iphone, but i'm sure i will and some form of a case would probably be a smart idea. I just dread the idea of a case on the phone
This pouch looks like a nice trade off.
Has it scratched your iphone at all?

What is the best printer to buy for Airport Express printing?

Help! I need a new printer.
Required features:
• under $300
• multi-function (fax not required)
• auto-document feeder
• prints 2 sided
• USB to Airport Express, or itself be wireless printer--(bluetooth seems to not have the range I need: 35-60 feet)
• affordable ink
• photo printing a plus, not required
• color printing a plus, not required.
I bought a Canon PIXMA MP780 only to discover that it is incompatible with Airport Express! The PIXMA MP750 seems an option (for printing only--Airport seems not to work with Scanning). But the 750 seems to be all but unavailable anymore.
I am considering upgrading from my old iBook G3 600mHz to a PowerBook G4, but this shouldn't make much difference regarding which printer to buy.
Any help? What printers have worked well for you?
Thanks,
Stephen
iBook G3 600mHz Mac OS X (10.4.4) 640mb RAM

Obviously I would prefer to be able to use scanning over the wireless, but I am content to plug it in directly as needed, especially if there were a second USB port on the printer.
Do you know this Brother machine you suggest? Do you recommend it? Does it have all the features I mention above?
Do you know the Canon MP750? I am told it does print through Express.
Thanks for your help.
Stephen
Do you want all functions of your new all-in-one
printer be accessible over a wireless connection, or
are you content to live with wireless printing but
plugging the printer directly into your Mac's USB
port each time you want to scan something? For all
functions to work over a wireless connection you
really need a network-ready all-in-one printer - and
finding a good one that costs under $300 could be a
real challenge (the Brother MFC-420CN is one of the
few).

What are the best tools and software for iPad presentations (including remotes)?

I'm using an iPad 4th generation device and my software includes Haiku Deck and Keynote. I've fully used Haiku Deck so I don't want to discuss that too much (love the software!). I'm curious about working with Keynote and PowerPoint and any others that are compatible. I also am looking for solutions for remote control devices. It's not clear to me what devices work with iPads, as most apps describe controlling a Mac computer with an iOS device. So far I've had trouble using an iPod Touch 4th generation which is troubling. I can connect all kinds of devices to my iPad, such as Bluetooth keyboards and an Android phone, but the Touch running iOS 6 will not seem to connect. In other words I can't use it to control Keynote on IPad which is disappointing. Please advise on software and remotes. Thank you.

What are the best optimization & cleaning tools for Mac OS X?

I found a great app called MacKeeper, but it cost $500!?! I have OnyX, but it not so good because it just clean your mac and has given my mac some problems.
I really want to fix and clean my mac and give it top performance, because my windows 7 is now faster than my mac in boot camp, and my mac boot up speed is so slow, it actually slower than my 7 years old windows xp laptop!

It takes 3 minutes to get into the log-in screen. My apps bounces for 20 secs.
Then you need to begin reading the [Mac OS X speed FAQ|http://www.index-site.com/Macosxspeed.html] that you were referred to. It does sound like you're having a performance problem, but using a "cleaning tool" to do things like clear caches, run the periodic scripts, etc without a specific reason for doing so is not the right solution. You could just as easily break things worse without solving any problems. It's like firing multiple shotgun blasts into your walls, while blindfolded, to try to solve a mouse problem.
When I scanned my computer with AppKeeper, it said 1700 useless junk files and 12 performance problems.
Without knowing what those are, we have no idea how legitimate those claims may be. Some AV software will label "tracking cookies" as a danger when they are not. As sad as it is, some software companies will play up "problems" in order to sell software to solve those "problems."

Go to Solution.

no it cannot support the Angry Birds franchise, because simply the hardware is too old and weak. Apart from Nokia Store, Google is your only bet for apps and games, there is nothing else that can be done about this mate.
