Hi, I've had a quick look through some older posts but want to see what recommendations people have for classroom management and keyword monitoring. I want a system that is going to work Trust wide over 4 primary schools, but three of my schools will soon be serverless, so I'm after options that are not going to require a server based install. All of our student devices are now Chromebook (or machines converted with Neverware) with a handful of iPads thrown in for good measure. Already have a meeting set up with NetSupport so looking for some others that people recommend to compare features and pricing against. I've used Impero in the past and it was great, but was server based. I saw at BETT they have a web version, but not sure if this is just a web based front end, or if it will run serverless. Any other suggestions greatly received! I just need something in place to make my monitoring and supporting staff across multiple sites a bit slicker and easier so I can stay some kind of sane! Cheers

Haven't been on the site for a week or so. Seems it went down last night. I've imported the foreign configuration and the machine is back up and running with one of the disks currently rebuilding. This is a server about to be removed as we are going serverless in this school. All of the data has been moved to the cloud, all that was left running was DHCP and DNS which were due to be done shortly. Looks like I'm going to have to move this project along a bit faster!

Hi, Have a very old server (Dell PowerEdge T620) that has come up with a problem. When looking at the hard drives, 2 of them seem fine, but 2 are flashing green then orange lights and the machine will not boot. I've gone through the BIOS to the controller setup and it is listing all four disks. The ones with the normal lights are showing online as expected. The other two are showing as (Foreign) Online and the other is (Foreign) Rebuild Pending. I then have the option to import Foreign Configuration or Clear Foreign Configuration. Overall the Virtual disk is showing as degraded. Any ideas on how I can try and at least get the machine to boot again?
