Home Access Plus+

[TheScarfedOne]

A bit of a dense question.... with the Room Bookings system, everything was fine until I set about removing me and my team from Domain Admins. Now - we arent Admins of it, and cant book for others/remove bookings. Where was that controlled from again?

The ability to override bookings is a DOMAIN ADMIN function

Hi Nick - just trying to do the v6 upgrade (looks great!) and having a problem with some users (such as myself) acessing their home directory - I'm getting the attached error.

I can only specualte from the error that there's a 64k default limit on the message size for the directory listing data, and people like myself with a lot of items are causing it to exceed this limit.

Do you know how we can up this?

Cheers

John

I've updated the v6.0.1 update release on Home Access Plus&#43, can you download it and check to see if the issue is fixed?

Wow thanks Nick - that was fast! That's done the job and everything seems to be working perfectly now. Cheers!

You reminded me of something I forgot to do. When implementing the HAP.Silverlight.Browser I overwrote the predefined configuration that set it's maxmessagesize to 2gb. Overwriting it to allow HAP+ to work using your sites URL instead of mine set that back to 64kb. I've now set it to allow a massive message payload.

Any chance of changing this to a configurable AD Group? It can even be one you hardcode in if easier - just so that its not Domain Admins (I would like some of the office staff to be able to do it too)... something like Booking Admins - and we would need to create that group...

Done, it will be part of v6.1. There will be an attribute under

<bookingsystem ... admingroups="xx, yy, zzz"...

Domain Admins are still hard coded to avoid any major issues

What is this user card thing? Also, is the config tool now back then?

The config tool has really helped me move on with installing Home access plus.
I now have it running but could do with some help from somebody with this...
The homedrive settings are by default N: pointing to %homedrive% I need to work out what I need to change it to.
My users all have their home drive mapped to \\servername\username$
I have tried putting \\servername\%username%$ but this fails
I know I'm close because if i put \\servername\myusername$ it works for me (myusername$ refers to my actual logon name with the dollar sign at the end)

Can anyone help with this?

thanks

[nickbro]

try \\servername\{0}$

[reggiep]

try \\servername\{0}$

Easy when you know how!

Thanks Nick for A brilliant product and amazing support!

Off topic sorry....

If there is a mod or admin around, could I suggest that this thread be moved and its own sub-forum started - possibly in projects or somewhere, I am sure @nickbro will agree it will help with troubleshooting etc if threads were able to be split.

At over 700 posts it is getting a little tedious to find solutions within the tangle that is the thread as it stands...

Just a thought

Thanks
