I have read that the cmdlets are only available in 2010 and other cmdlets from 2010 cu3 . I saw this ps script but when I tested it on mine exchange it would not populate all the databases information. I ran the script multiple times and I would get varying outputs. Like the script was timing out half way through. Glad this worked for you

Hmm can’t quite decide whether this is a permission or cmdlet compatibility Is the ems run as administrator?

Imagine a factory reset in SIMS. the chaos it would cause by accidental or malicious operation. if there were one I bet it would go next to the emergency alert button on staffs dashboard lol

Banjo response it probably closest to what you need. Spin up a test server Copy the setups folder from S:\Sims onto your test server Install SQL database Run SimsSQLinfrastructuresetup.exe (not to be confused with SimsInfrastructureSetup.exe) run simsinst.exe check all three options workstation/SQL/DMS (you may need to run simsinfrastructuresetup.exe and simsapplicationsetup.exe also but the step before may call them. ) TBH there is no guarantee that this will work because there will be no data. Sims is not like an Access Database that you create with no records in from scratch. These steps are normally performed as a prerequisite of performing a manual dbattach for example. Capita may use dbattach to diagnose a database fault that has been raised and they need your data to replicate the symptoms you discussed. but even still I would probably clone my production server vhd disconnect my network card spin it up run dbattach to drop the database run dbattach again to put a new database in its place

Sorry should have been more detailed the code is powershell but you need to run it in Exchange Management Shell (EMS) as this will load additional cmdlets. the version of exchange may not support some of the cmdlets you don't need to change the code. just copy and paste the line in to EMS

If what you need is just a blank dB then as banjo suggested. You may need to run sqlinfrastructuresetup first (can’t remember if the install option within simsinst calls this setup during its process) maybe worth running it first. I’m struggling to understand why you would need a blank dB. Unless it is just to gain experience in the installation process of sims from scratch... Sims will not behave like a production server that would be helpful to anyone for testing purposes without any data to query. Believe me sims is not sims without data. You won’t be able to determine whether additional modules work eg nt6, exams etc as there is no data to import.

Another +1 for NS notify. Had it in place for nearly a year now and I love it. More useful for sending technical service messages out eg internet down etc. No thrills Piece of software that does exactly what it says on the tin for a very respectable price. Really pleased with it. Support are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend buying the support agreement maybe for the first year just to get you up and running. My only negative of the software is the limited user authentication options and allocating permissions for the people who are able to send messages. Currently all contributors have full access to areas that you probably wouldn’t want them to have like change server connection settings and other things which probably would hinge on the software functionality. After speaking with net support they are looking into developing this feature

I read that ideally 2 public IP address are required to authenticate the transaction. Is this not the case with you? Also what in their opinion is non compliance? Can you give me an example?

Why not use a sql database backup of your production server to spin up test server. Remap your s: drive and your connect.ini to your test server. Then you can play to your hearts content without risking the production server

Can you remember the ports rules you made?

I am steering more and more toward a sim based device but I am aware that it’s cost is a lot more than the WiFi only for obvious reasons. The device will be used in the school uniform shop I guess if they wanted to really save money the person who runs the shop could set up a WiFi hotspot from their mobile device but that would depend on that person’s wanting to use their personal data as little as it consumes per transaction for nothing in return other than good will in facilitating the school to profit. World pay estimate each transaction is 2kb when I upgrade can be up to 10mb twice a year.

I think Paypal are generally quite expensive in comparison on the per transaction. I know a few small business owners who use PayPal and the general consensus is you pay extra from the convenience and simplicity of the whole package.

That’s what I thought from what I read up on so far. Reinforced with world pay not able to provide basic networking information is not filling me with confidence

Afternoon All Just sniffed out another potential purchase that could have gone horribly wrong because no one had consulted ICT and the school was going to go on the assumption that everything just slots in to every network nicely because the nice sales man said it would scenario, Our finance dept want to commit to and subscribe to WorldPay service on a Wifi enabled credit card payment device and I am concerned about filtering and firewall rule. WorldPay haven't managed to provide any documentation yet and wondered if anyone has any experience they can offer Also I read that the "merchant" referring to us require ideally 2 public IP addresses, one for a test environment and the other for the production, which is registered on their system to authenticate the devices use. Is this accurate? can complicate things a little as we have a county fed internet, web filtering, firewall, we have used all our allocated public IP address etc dualed up with a BT infinity line which acts as load balance and failover. Essentially we have two internet bound ip addresses. granted I can set up so that certain traffic can route out of any one of the interfaces and therefore should be ok but anyone know of any reason why this wouldn't work. Part of me thinks ask the school to get a gprs or 4g device which will make setup far more simple but would like to have felt I have tried to research all avenues Thanks

if you want to export a list of mailboxes within all your database and find their sizes then this ps command will help Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-MailboxStatistics | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | Select-Object DisplayName,ItemCount,TotalItemSize,DeletedItemCount,TotalDeletedItemSize | Export-CSV c:\11122012.csv

This is what I use on Exchange 2010 (should still work for 2007) I think this will give you what you need in a more granulated form. Database size is how big your edb is, available space is database whitespace that can be filled before the edb will grow again. White space is generated by house keeping rules that delete emails from the database. that space is never recovered in physical space on the volume until database maintenance is performed Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft name,databasesize,availablenewmailboxspace -auto [/Code] Edit - adding edbfilepath will do what is says on the tin [Code] Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft name,databasesize,availablenewmailboxspace,edbfilepath -auto [/Code]

We did briefly also but trends like Asgard only showed a few hits per month. Totalled 16 hits one year. I left it turned off after an upgrade and had no one complain to date. That was near enough 2 years ago

We use a similar code with the additional age switch in a shutdown script c:\delprof2\delprof2.exe /ed:domainadmin /ed:localadmin /d:30 /q /i Public and default are protected profiles so are already exempt Maybe using the age switch may help mitigate the errors if it is a locked profile

Iv never experience the problem you are having but a couple more suggestions I have found even domain/local administrators don’t have permission to remove certain reg keys Also try restarting the computer and trying again. Sometimes reg keys get locked

Is this just happening on lib-16 computer? Does it error on more than one user on lib-16? What user are you running Delprof under? Try running under system user Confirm the key permission by going in to regedit. It will likely be referring to the user’s hive Can you delete the profile in the gui. System properties, advanced tab, profiles

Can you go into a bit more detail of the setup of your deployment server? I assume you will have WDS installed. it could be a setting within there In WDS, click on the server then properties, click on the PXE response tab check the radio button labeled approve all known and unknown device, then uncheck the check box require admin approval. HTH

Thanks for the suggestion. I have resolved the issue now. turned out to be a driver conflict on the workstations that had the printer deployed to. I had changed the Driver from the HP model driver to the UPD and it basically made the originally problem mutate. Clearing down the drivers on the computer and redeploying a rolled back HP model driver resolved my issue

@Chris_Cook and @Katy Thank you that was the answer I needed (or part of it anyway) . Dialing 17070 from a phone line that has a dial tone gave me all the info I needed associated with that line. I am eternally grateful to you both. Thanks for everyones suggestion but if it were obvious and my finance team did know I am sure they would tell me. It could be that the phone bills are part and parcel of a much bigger service, who knows. Companies moonlight in what seems to be the strangest of things for example. I found out that one of the lines was in service with ... who is affiliated with an IT subsidiary company (who installed the system) who of our accountants who include the telephone service in one big packaged bill.

You would think so with finance but no. Whether it’s ignorance, or they really don’t know they are not getting me the info I need. Our backups are housed in a secure house on the school ground away from the main servers and is completely separate from the main school building by a fair distance. It’s not on the same electric don’t know how but have known the school to be without whilst the house remained online. The disaster would have to be fairly significant to wipe the house as well as the school.my plan would be to reinstate the bt line in the property as a backup line if the school server room became out of service This is slightly aside from my issue detailed above but is linked to the reason why I’m asking this question.
