Zimbra

[CHR1S]

Ahh thats why, the email addresses have changed too!! FARCE!!!

 

Does anyone else find it takes 3 or more attempts to get to mail.myvle.org via the web ??

[Little-Miss]

That's what i thought....something isnt switched on my end cus i dont have the External accounts option...

[dpittaway]

You have to be in 'Advanced view' to get the External Accounts option. Is that it?

 

Also, Link2ICT have now locked down all Zimbra emails for schools that have yet to transfer as they were causing problems apparently. So I now can't get into 3 of my 4 accounts. Great!

[CHR1S]

 

Does it look like this?

 

Edit - beat me to it... advanced view lol.

 

Just to reiterate to any L2ICT people viewing this... I know you are

 

WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING???

 

All this info we should have had BEFORE you decided to start the migration!!

AHH! I missed that gem of information!!

[CHR1S]

wow, this is really messed up, check this out -

 

 

LOL

When you finally get an IMAP connection to your old email, dont just sit there clicking "Get New Mail" like I did! You have to right lick the folder it creates and then select "Get New External Mail"

 

D'oh!!

Yeah, it depends how you set it up too. If you set it up so the mail goes into its own inbox, you can click in that inbox and the 'get mail' button at the top will change into a 'Get external mail' button. But the way you describe works fine too!

[Little-Miss]

Where's my website gone!?

[CHR1S]

Where's my website gone!?

 

Que???

[Little-Miss]

http://web.harborne.bham.sch.uk/ can you see it?

[Devontechie]

nope... but Welcome to Harborne Primary School works

[CHR1S]

What steve said....

 

I think BGFL/L2ICT are having big DNS issues because of the migration, I would just wait it out and see what happens

[Little-Miss]

Yeah i will do, i cant see Welcome to Harborne Primary School internally then...

[CHR1S]

thats probably your proxy settings doing that, or dns lol

[Little-Miss]

lol! We had this issue before easter when they were messing with their DNS servers. Its fine as long as you can see it externally.

[Little-Miss]

Leave my DNS alone you anyway!

[CHR1S]

Leave my DNS alone you anyway!

 

I still think your DNS needs a spring clean!

[CHR1S]

Grrr, now peoples contacts have vanished from BGFL+

[CHR1S]

Grr again.... they send the student accounts with no sorting information like class and/or year group! D'oh

[Little-Miss]

Of course not....one lovely big list!

 

Did we decide there was a way to stop the kids emails showing up in the Staff account list or vice versa?

[CHR1S]

We only took minimum information from the MIS. For students we took the YearOfEntry, FirstNam,SurName and staff FirstName,SurName. This information was agreed upon with all schools to retrieve from their MIS

 

Was it, I dont remember being asked, first I knew was when the office manager told me they had remoted on and took the info! Complete lack of forward thinking/planning again!!

[Tricky_Dicky]

But why take only minimum information? Our CMIS system has every bit of information imaginable about our children including links to other siblings, current class, teachers etc. If they had taken a copy of more information surely they could have implemented a system that was easier to manage and implement! GRRRR..

[CHR1S]

Exactly... its such a farce, considering all MIS data is unified (or should be) this is a step back! Do they think this level of planning will work roling out Shibboleth or another of thir pie in the sky plans??

Data Protection act prevents you from taking anything more than the minimum information necessary to carry out the task. Just 'cos the information is there, doesn't mean it can be legally shared!
