  1. Try this.. take a backup first!... and see how big the c:\Windows\Installer folder is first. https://www.homedev.com.au/free/patchcleaner

    UPS Advice

    Have a look at the APC SmartConnect ones. Ive got a couple of 1500va ones here. Cloud interface is handy.
  3. Technically you can't have more than one teacher per registration group. The way I do it is...... Add your new users in Focus/System Manager/Manage Users ..... Attendance Operator or Class Teacher permissions... Focus/School/Pastoral Structure/Current Structure ...... Create a new Joint Supervisor in the relevant class. They should then hit the Take Register button on the home page, browse for the relevant class teachers name (not class name) (top left) and open and edit the registration marks from there. That should do it. * I'm not 100% sure you need to add them as a joint supervisor but I always do out of habit. Works for me.
  4. My Beach Head (on an Amstrad CPC464) always crashed in the last moment before finishing the game As did Gianna Sisters on the Amiga But unlike Daley Thompson's Decathlon which broke ALL my many many joysticks and endless smashing bent the keyboard til it resembled a banana. Lovely stamp set though @Dos_Box I kinda want to play Feud on my Amstrad all over again
  5. I thought 00:35 was an ethernet cable poking into a garden fence till I looked properly Eh ?!?
  6. @Dos_Box .... @petben Must be disk space related... or your paging file is broken. Run this to find the culprit folders: https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free Then maybe this to free up some space on your drives: https://www.homedev.com.au/Free/PatchCleaner *Use the latter with a bit of caution. Not my fault if it borks a machine !

  8. Just to help the OP, There are loads of software alternatives (if that's what the music teacher could use). All the above plus Magix Music Maker Acid Pro is pretty good still As far as interfaces go the Focusrite units are quite nice but you could easily get away with cheaper Behringer or Alesis stuff. Just had a look at the price of Mac Minis nowadays ...... Shseeeesh!!
  9. Y something networky there on the other site.
  10. Gotta say all.... +1 for Garageband being sh*te. It just is. All the cr@p DAW interfaces are why I've got one of these... makes those 'orrible screens a bit less 'orrible.
  11. Link2ICT keeping you in a straight jacket again to keep themselves in work. You should have got out while you could.
  12. We have them dotted around our primary for safeguarding purposes. Makes sense.
  13. This is the right tool....
  14. Probably a daft suggestion but.... There's always Garageband on an Ipad. Might be cheaper. Similar-ish app and there's plenty of DAC/interfaces for them.
  15. Bit confused by the post but you might be looking for this... https://www.papercut.com/support/resources/manuals/ng-mf/applicationserver/topics/find-me-printing.html
  16. WSUS always fell over when I tried putting the updates on another drive... might try that again soon actually. EDIT: come to think of it, I think I was trying to put the updates on a network share... thats probably why it fell over.
  17. WSUS really does not want to not be on a VM. It will eat ALL of your disk space in a short amount of time. Mines sitting at 250GB right now. IMO, 2 SSD's isn't really going to give you a great deal of redundancy... not ideal, especially as they're SSD's. As for the machines, mine basically go like this on VMWare. Aiming for minimal interruption if any one (particularly) production Windows VM needs to go down: DC1, DC2, MIS, PRINT, WSUS, WDS, FILE, BACKUP (console) - all replicated across 2 hosts. I'd also consider using virtual appliances for anything that you can. Very low CPU & disk footprints for your hypervisor. Also VA's might utilise your hardware a bit better. VA's here are: Hypervisor console, UPS console, AV console. Saves a lot of wasted resources if we were using Windows.
  18. @TwistedHelixis First page of the user manual pdf says: English. 04/2019. Rev.1.0
  19. I'd stuff MS and do a Cisco cert. I reckon It would be much more valuable in the long run.
  20. A pen whack looks like.
  21. Someone here recommended Zen Internet to me a while ago. Going to renew with them next year. Free ADSL backup line. Instant support. Never gone down in 3 years. Good pricing too. Zero complaints. It always baffles me that a Virgin reseller always quotes much less than Virgin themselves. FYI... If you go direct with either Virgin or BT, your support is going to be bloody awful. Go with a decent reseller. EDIT: I have spoken to Wave9 too and their Sophos cloud filtering and connection bundle looks very appealing. Choosing the right filtering package is important as you'll be stuck with it for a looong time.
  22. Depends on the age of the 'pad though. I have some old mini's still lurking that won't be DEP'd by AC2. Bah!
  23. Y Recuva is pretty good.
  24. Pull then re insert the lightening cable then hit Trust on the screen.
  25. Hi all, I'm revisiting a old problem that now really needs sorting. I've got 2 x Esxi 6.5 essentials plus hosts, both with local storage and on a gigabit core. Current hosts are HP rack 360 G9's... 2 x 4 core Xeons each with 72Gb Ram running about 5 VM's each both replicating to the other and backing up to NAS's with Veeam. Both are 4 disk sata raid 10 arrays with esxi is installed on the array.... (why I did it like that I do not know instead of using removable storage... but hey!). Host performance is 'average'. Migrating, backing up and restoring is slow mainly due to the disk access. File storage is currently on a physical Windows box which I want to virtualise. It is server upgrade time, so I could do with some recommendations of how to achieve: a) shared storage b) get the connectivity speed up between servers and backup NAS's. Speccing the servers isn't an issue but am having trouble choosing what storage type, platform and connectivity to go for on my budget. NFS, ICSI, VSAN, Storage Spaces, local storage with Starwinds? Dedicated hardware, Windows/Linux, NAS? SAN is well out of the question due to cost. I also don't want to introduce a single point of failure as this is something that is not an issue at present. Anticipated is up to 20K for the lot maybe including a couple of 10gb switches for the core.... Currently everything lives on a flat gigabit LAN. Required is 8 -10 TB storage. What we have right now works. Its reliable, resilient and plenty quick enough for end users.. but the design really needs updating. What can you guys recommend to get the best value out of this? Cheers in advance
