It's called cost savings, I know a number of schools who wouldn't be happy paying an extra £350 + vat if they didn't have to.

It seems this is going to be a painful process. I better start testing asap.
Need to dig out some docs on best practises for setting up a Win2k8 server first, followed by SQL2k8....
I agree, I know that lots of schools have very streched budgets as it is and for smaller schools £350 is that new PC that so and so has been after for a while. Which i sopose brings me back to my rant about capita producing a tool which doesn't work and that they wont support (in a few cases at least).@fawkers

Now if the tool worked me and my NM would be doing the SIMS migration no problems knowing that should anything funky happen we did it the 'capita way' and there should be support (well I would hope there would be). Instead of the 'dirty' way where we could end up in a complete mess, I'm sure that most of us here are capable of doing it this way its just if your willing to take the risk, personaly I would I feel happy to do so but it wasn't my call.
I've even tried removing the table completely, removing the entry, editing the entry it still doesn't like it. So frustrating when I can move the FMS databases with no problems what so ever.
I would argue that. It does work, I admit it's a bit problematic in places.Originally Posted by fawkers
It does work the tool, FMS worked fine for me its just this main SIMS database. I’m beginning to wonder if something is right with our existing database. I know (before my time) capita setup the original server and had some … major issues… esp with SQL 2005 and the migration. I just need to crack this nut.
Done it, right I think detaching the database using the standard DBattach tool isn’t the correct way to do it. But because I was having difficulties with the tools GUI on the original server that was my only option. Until I gave it one last go using the CLI and the --Silent switch, and it worked!
Connected to the original database and done a migration to a transfer path, then on the new server the opposite and it was happy as rain no complaints about Backup locations. Logged into SIMS and everything so fair looks good!
Have you tried asking them for the latest installable media?!
They will not let us have it!
Who Capita or your LA?Have you tried asking them for the latest installable media?!

Capita.
Eh? Sure the lovely ladies in distribution could sort it out for you if you ask them nicely, assuming you've paid your annual maintenance and you don't get support via your LA
What setup files you after on the media? I found everything I needed in the setups folder after doing a solus update.
