  1. An Opportunity for a Full Time ICT Technician at The Ferrers School in Rushden. We currently run Windows Server 2012 and Windows 7 clients. Looking to move to 10 in summer 2018 and as such experience with Microsoft software is essential. We are looking to recruit to this role asap with the closing date for applications on the 14th December. Full details can be found on the school website: The Ferrers School - Vacancies Regards,
  2. We were all told that "considerable" work was done over the weekend but here we are again. Not good enough I'm afraid. We pay a lot of money for this service. :-(
  3. Feel for you Nathan- I too recommend them to one of our cluster schools and also look like a fool!
  4. Also we are finding that even after services have been restored our filters take a long time to actually start working properly again. Lessons disrupted, staff unable to work, its really been appalling.
  5. We have been having the same issues at my school for the past few weeks too, on Filter 11. This has been totally unacceptable and I too will no longer be recommending them to any of partner or trust schools. I will also be looking at ways we can cancel our contract early and change supplier. I accept that downtime will happen, that's part of IT, but this is meant to be an enterprise level provider and our service has been worse than my £10 per month home broadband recently!
  6. Thanks Guys- we are using Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection. It does detect it and and tries to delete the infected files but more often that not fails. We then end up having to restore the folder. You are correct that our staff have the ability to install software on their own laptops but taking this priliagave agway would be a major headache too! So far students have not been hit but worried they will be soon.
  7. Hi All, Are any other schools having problems with this horrible encryption virus thing ( Ransom Testcrypt.)? Its causing us a major headache and I cant seem to find a patch or fix to prevent it. The only way we seem to be able to get rid of it at moment is to delete the files and folder and restore from unaffected backup. Obviously though, this isn't really practical and won't prevent it from coming back! Its affecting network drives, staff laptops everything. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best Wishes,
  8. Dear All, Does anyone have a HP Procurve wireless network? We have a MSM760 controller and MSM422 Access points. We were operating in a mixed mode b/g/a/n as we had some older clients and access points which didn't support n but these have now gone. I would like to now change and run in n mode only. Does anyone know what changes I need to make in VSC section to make this happen? Thanks in advance.
  9. Thanks- I though MS Expression was for web publishing?
  10. Hi All, I'm after some Windows software that could be used by our students to record their computer screens, while using microphones to voice annotate over it then export to for example a video file. Any ideas on anything out there? Thanks in Advance, Best Wishes
  11. Thanks- It was a proxy exception issue. Had add both external address and internal IP!!!
  12. Hi All, We migrated from Windows XP\Server 2003 to Windows 7\Server 2008 this summer and have been having issue with calendar sharing in MS Outlook. When we used to use Exchange 2003\ Outlook 2007 staff was able to share their personal calendars with one another. However since the new system it there appears to be permissions issue which is preventing them from doing this. From Outlook users get the following message when they try to prepare sharing with another user: "Error while preparing to send sharing message" I had a quick read online and it mentioned default sharing policy which I checked and seems to enable sharing for our users. Several Forums also suggested to see if users could share via Outlook Web Access. The message work but then even after accepted they still could not access one another calendar’s (It just came up blank). Further reading has suggested to me that it could be something does with the Auto discover virtual directory service not running but I am unfamiliar with this. Any ideas? I'm sure this may be a common issue when moving from exchange 2003 to 2010 but I can't seem to find an answer. I’m hoping it’s something quite simple! In case I didn’t mention it this issue is affected all users. Thanks in advance! James
  13. Glad to hear you got an interview and good luck! But you know better than to discuss ANYTHING to do with saleries here! It must be discussed in the proper area. I dont have a problem with it but I 'm afraid I dont make the rules!
  14. 65 servers is a crazy amount Citrix or not trust me!!!!!!!!!!!
