We do... PaperCut £5.00 / week for staff £3.00 / week for pupils 10p per A4 Colour 0.5p per A4 Mono All prints (except pupil laser printers) are queued and collected at a copier. No print = no charge.

There is the SIMS.net mobile app for basic functions. Depends on what you want your users to have access to.

Don't think you can schedule installs. You could license each device a few at a time (if you've got DEP or unique apple ID's)

No, but that is an option. TBH I'd rather put it together myself but advice is always welcome.

Love the light wood violin bass. He never made that himself ? I've got a '64 model. Its bloomin lovely sounding That is a truly impressive machine. Reminds me of a busker I saw in the square in Bath who had a pedal powered guitar. One foot picked the strings while a button device he held in his hand used air pressure to place metal fingers on the fretboard. It was amazing. Here he is. The machine was brilliant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYHlwk9xrIE

Imagine clipping a kerb. Big ouch!

I'm not sold on Cisco AP's. The ones I've used aren't anything like as good as Ruckus.

Ruckus is great for here. You will save a lot of cash by going the Ubiquity route. Not used them personally but seen them in action and they are very good.

@Daaood Link2ICT made this a large pain in the bum for me. You need to ask them to enable IMAP on your Zimbra accounts. Get the IMAP server details from them, then use the USERS/IMPORT page in O365. The pain for me was that they'd only let me IMAP 10 accounts per day. because it was too heavy a drain on their network! Sheesh! I had to use a non .bham,sch.uk domain because they'd turn the IMAP off after half a day so the mailboxes would be out of sync after a couple of minutes. I just told the users 'you have a new mail address from now' then forwarded mail from Zimbra to their new address. In the hols I moved the old domain to a new host, validated it in O365, set up the DNS etc etc. Its a bigger pain than you think, and you're going to have some mail downtime. EDIT: That was a couple of years back. Has it changed? I don't know. Maybe now they're pushing O365 themselves. I'd say phone to ask.

You could always use Dreamweaver... but then again if you want the site to actually work ..... (Do they still make dreamweaver ??) EDIT: They do !

True. I read it as e.g. 8 quad cores lol

8 vCPU's... ?? Surely thats super overkill gtech ? U mean 8 cores ?

I did it to lend a fellow a hand... but u didn't get my real info on the last page m8.

I read the video caption as 'Rod Stewart was in a helicopter'. We are crashing... We are craaaashing....

ALSO... What virtual hardware resources are you guys using ? CPU , RAM etc

Hi all, Easter will be time to get rid of my last physical machines converting them to VM's. I have a server running Server 2008 & Sims.net plus other associated sync programs etc. (It wont be a fresh install, I'll convert with VMWare Converter or deploy an image) Are there any SQL issues or other gremlins anyone has experienced that I should be aware of before I convert ?? Cheers in advance

Nah. Not a single. I've got a lawnmower for that

I thought they were a newish model and 300cc for A2 ????

Oh but.. but... I want one of these ....

True. And when you have a VM storing data (like my SQL server) it won't get lost when its migrated back to the host.

That's a very very good idea ! Not sure I'd be happy using the current file server but its more reliable than my NAS. Or a cheap Fujitsu server with a couple of TB would do it. Still though, if any 1 physical machine that holds data fails, the servers and data are still unavailable. Thats a pain of centralised data. Its a tricky one without spending many thousands ££££

Penny farthing for you lol. Are you on an A2 now then ?

Have a look here @caffrey 4 Pairs of 100w 8? Ceiling Speakers, 4-Way Speaker Switch & 100m Cable

My set up is this thus far... 1 x Esxi host - (x) VM's - VM'd vSphere Web Client 1 x Physical 2nd DC 1 x Physical SQL server for MIS - going virtual at Easter - This machine will be Host 2 1 x Physical 12TB file server - standard tower full of raided disks 1 x QNAP 16TB NAS - for all backups 1 x 1TB Buffalo NAS for 2nd backups of critical data 1 x Smoothwall What I'm aiming for is zero downtime if either host fails. - I understand shared storage is needed for hot redundancy- not happy with NAS 1 holding all the servers though - not reliable enough. What other options do I have with what I've got?
