imkzru Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 We are in the process of changing over from Novell to Microsoft. With Novell we used Ifolder / Netstorage to gain access to our documents from home. I have poked around on here and found some are using Home Access+ but I do not see any documentation on how to install it and I'm also concerned about sensitive student info. In my hunt for a solution I found a college that is doing exactly what I want but I have no clue of how they are doing it. It is my hopes someone on here can point me in the right direction. Here is the site link to what I wish to do. http://www.cnm.edu/depts/its/tutorials/software/files Right now we are redirecting students My Documents folder to a network drive.
nickbro Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Sounds like it could be WebDav. Installation instructions for HAP+, as well installation videos: https://hap.codeplex.com/documentation 1
imkzru Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 Thank you for the link to the videos. I will check them out.
rh91uk Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I am doing something really simple here, just giving staff access to Terminal Services then they don't need to download docs etc, they can live edit.
Netwacky87 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Terminal Services is a big winner in my books (alongside HAP, which is brilliant also) Terminal Services can be a right pain to get working correctly but once it does, works like a charm (and HAP is even simplier to get going in my books!)
themightymrp Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 We use our VLE for home access to documents (Frog). Secure logon etc etc
RTFM Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) We looked at HAP, it wasn't great. Take a look at a Sonicwall SRA 4200 (American site but will let you see the video demo of it). Not free but really is brilliant and great value for money. The web based remote desktop function is fantastic. Edited January 30, 2013 by RTFM
bshingler Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 remote desktop terminal services, access documents, programs as if they were sat in school.
imkzru Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 okay. I feel like a idiot but no I did not see the big bold link to videos and documentation :/ but I'm installing this on a Windows server 2008 R2 64bit with IIS7. I have searched this forum for documentation on installing on IIS7 and found This. I have watched the video but I to am really looking for a pdf version of the instructions. The link in that thread are broken. Doe anyone have an updated link? I am having an issue installing HAP but I want to read the documentation before I start asking questions. Thanks

nickbro Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 @imkzru Documentation link is on the documentation page of the HAP+ site: https://hap.codeplex.com/documentation or in the root folder of the HAP+ install
Tsonga Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Sharepoint VLE with a Home Folder browser webpart 1
3s-gtech Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 We've been playing with the html5 remote desktop feature from Remote Spark (no plugins, not browser specific like the Sonicwall/MS ActiveX version). That combined with a php based home-access system seems to work well, still in testing.

jmair Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 To answer the "How do you do it...." part. Personally I don't believe their is a 'wrong' solution if the solution you chose works for your situation. My solution to a similar problem was to move away from Office and intranet data storage completely and go to Google Drive. We switched and it quickly became a hit for most of the students and staff. Google drive + Edmodo has been a wonderful combo for saving money on a few fronts while providing the perks of google docs like collaboration, access anywhere, seamless(ish) and more paperless. It also supports every device that has come on campus so far with BYOD being another hurdle. In fairness, we have run into issues with docs also, but the pros outweigh the cons in the long run and most of it has been the teachers mindset. "We need Office, and I'll never understand this techno interwebs stuff" are the two major hurdles. More info for you. Good luck!
edutech4schools Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 If you need to run apps like office, Sims etc then terminal services. If it is just file access then Hap+ or Google apps for education (Gdrive). To install HAP follow the video, the instructions do not make sense.
