[sims] How do I gain access to SIMS?

[IT24]

I'm a student so obviously I don't have access to SIMS on the school network but I would like access as it would be helpful when I'm looking for free rooms to go and study in. Sometimes (not all the time) there is a folder on the windows 7 start menu and it says SIMS Applications I open it and then click on sims . Net but then it comes up with an error message that says SIMS fault. How do I gain access?

Your school has a duty to keep other peoples information confidential therefore they have put restrictions in place to ensure you can't access sims.

 

Attempting to circumvent this may leave you in breach of the computer misuse act as well as your schools policies.

 

If you are allowed in free rooms then speak to your admin team who I am sure will assist you.

The only way you would be able to access this information would be by having a SIMS account.

 

You seem to have had few SIMS related request threads recently...

Thanks guys. He deleted this thread for some reason.

 

I have the power and returned it.

 

Please would you report when you're dealing with students as it's useful for the mods to keep an eye on.

@IT24 You are on a forum full of people who spend their entire working life keeping an eye on what people are up to on school networks. One of them may be your network manager. They'll certainly all be checking.

Quite worrying that one really! Pretty confident it's not one of mine!! Thankfully!

I make sure that students can't even log on to machines with SIMS installed, but of course there's always the risk of PCs left unlocked, passwords being discovered etc. Most of our students don't even care what's in SIMS, but if I was the NM at this student's school I'd be watching very carefully.

Looking at the other threads i am pretty sure sims has already been accessed.

[Liam]

Same here.. I have software restriction policies in place to prevent it with other software like impero and they can't even access that as we limit it at server level too. @IT24. If your school does use impero you should ask the tech support team about the free rooms/computer feature. At least that way you won't need sims..correction ...should not be using sims

[elsiegee40]

This thing about free rooms he's asked about more than once is weird. What's he up to?

[zebulunn]

Would it be unreasonable in this case to ask for the original poster's region based on their IP address? So we can rule ourselves out.

Free rooms > internal truancy? If he's got access to the system and found the documentation he could even make some free rooms via the cover module :-)
