Some teachers don't need ict issues for this to happen. I had some teacher just the other day getting really stroppy with me because the computer wasn't working and apparently I had ruined their lesson. Tried some over the phone support which wasn't very productive as she wasn't very cooperative so As anyone would do, I marched over double time dropping my brew and biscuit. Got there and the computer wasn't even switched on. All I had to do was press the power button on the front of the computer. What I'm trying to say is everyone is put in the queue and made to wait their turn. On some occasions there is an immediate response but on most other occasions they will have to wait their turn. That stupid woman who didn't stop and take a breath before barking down the phone and wasted my time could have taken the priority away from a genuine incident that required our immediate assistance like my brew which by the time I got back after an ear bashing was cold and some thief stole my biscuit.

I had issues doing a direct upgrade on my physical 2008 r2 dc to ad connect. Ended up having to fresh install on my other 2012 r2 virtual dc Touch wood from day 1 it has been solid Edit: a dedicated ad service account should be standard.

Priority 1 : HT/SMT Priority 1b: network server related issue being rye cause Priority 2 : he who bears gifts Priority 3 : he or she who shouts the loudest Priority 4: all other business on first come first serve Anyone else who says they do it differently is lying. 😈 All software is considered and tester over the end of term holidays. If some one comes mid term I grant the use of the software in one room only manually installed so they can report any bugs that I may need to iron out

Criminology (Sixth Form) & Web Filtering
dapaulio replied to Tefters's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Our sixth form started criminology also and asked for all sorts to be unblocked. Guns, rape etc, the only thing they didnt want was porn. I too went down the path of letting senior management decide but by the time a decision was made the course was scrapped. Dodged a bullet me thinks. The only thing I could suggest is to make an elevated ad group sync in smooth wall with the relevant policy filtering where all criminology students are in -
Do you use lesson monitor in SIMS. you can add additional present codes that can mark the student as forgetting homework/equipment.

I created this script to help me create and share user home folders from a csv. You need a 2 column csv for this script %%a = Username %%b = Physical path to the home path You will also need to download xcacls.exe and rmtshare.exe and save them on to the file server (if you need me to send them to you let me know.) Please test it first though and a small selection of test accounts. what works for me may not work for you Good luck for /f "eol=; Tokens=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Delims=," %%a in (%1) do ( md D:\homes\%%b\%%a\mywork "C:\Utilities\rmtshare.exe" \\server\%%a$ = d:\homes\%%b\%%a /grant everyone:f Echo.########### Students ########### "C:\Utilities\xcacls.exe" "d:\homes\%%b\%%a" /c /y /t /g "domain\%%a":f;f "domain\Domain Admins":f;f "Admins - RO Home Directories (students)":RO;RO "Admins - RW Home Directories (students)":RW;RW rem Echo.########### Staff ########### rem "C:\Utilities\xcacls.exe" "d:\homes\%%b\%%a" /c /y /t /g "domain\%%a":f;f "domain\Domain Admins":f;f "Admins - RO rem Home Directories (staff)":RO;RO "Admins - RW Home Directories (staff)":RW;RW rem Echo.########### Other ########### rem "C:\xcacls.exe" "d:\homes\%%b\%%a" /c /y /t /g "domain\%%a":f;f "domain\Domain Admins":f;f )

@EduTech I have PM'd you a dropbox rar link of the whole folder. -
To be honest I cant say I have ever tried wireless uplink so I wouldn't be able to comment. However the UBNT team forum have always been helpful and resolved issues I have had with my equipment Forums - Ubiquiti Networks Community try there

sorry should have specified Hardware base Disk Encryption. EDIT: Basically any good offers on laptops that have a TPM chip. not normally uncommon now but is necessary in this case

Hi All As the title suggest I am looking for suggestions for a laptop with HDD encryption Preferably light weight Doesnt have to be too powerful for general office use. eg office, internet etc As always the budget holder gives me a budget of "i'd rather pay next to nothing for it" (False economy really... he obviously knows he going to have to pay something but im sure he likes to waste my time getting me to look for offers/cashback etc that knock £20 off whilst it has probably cost him a days work to source) Any suggestions Thanks

when you mean wireless repeater do you mean you daisy chained the AP using the secondary network port? does the speed return to a normal level if you unplug it and reboot the ap it is daisy chained too?
-
Has this only started happening since your last firmware upgrade? We are on those fw numbers here and have not noticed any difference in performance. There are upgrades to your version however seen as we both run the same firmware I suspect something else isn't quite right. Is it on all your UAP or just a few? Try restarting the POE switch? Double patch anywhere?

What version of sql are you running? If 2014 have you put it into compatibility mode as this addresses a number of performance issues that sims has with sql 2014
-
how is the HDD enclosed? USB caddy, internal SATA power... could it be Under power? Have you tested the PSU. I'm afraid that doesn't sound good. Do you get a ticking or any other unnatural noises coming from the HDD when you plug it in
-
How much ram does your box have installed? Have you any other programs other than sims and fms installed and running on the same server that could be consuming ram As others have mentioned sql will naturally consume as much as it can leaving the server with the bare minimum just enough to operate.

Not too sure how that would work logistically. That would rely on someone changing the toner after the first email. If it interrogates daily and emails you daily. If you miss the email ln friday it wouldnt get replaced until monday but would have reduced stock by 3 when only one was taken. As a suggestion I would be inclined to write a small program/access database what ever takes you fancy on a touch screen computer located in each of the stores. Simple database that has two button what toner has been taken and where too. This could email you a confirmation. With stock levels When you receive a delivery a technician signs the toner in to the store again emailing a confirmation with stock levels. This however would rely on staff actually signing it out properly but with discipline would actually work the way you want it to

[sims] Solus 2/3 - Summer release "Needed" for exam results?
dapaulio replied to Steve21's topic in MIS Systems
Is there a high demand for aims during the summer holiday other than exams.? What I may be inclined to do is tell everyone aims will be unavailable except for a select few machines. install s3 and only deploy the agent and summer release to your exams officer and select few others for the mean time. Once exams are over you will hopefully have your shiny new server. Migrate it over then deploy the agent and the summer release to the rest of your client. You then only have to check a select few that may have the old server config -
Im going to assume a number of things based on that you have o365 already. Easiest method would be to use AD connect to sync your AD into O365 and you have access to the o365 admin console. If you are allowing students and staff to download a copy of office 365 on to their own devices then this shows up as part of our EES agreement from your MS partner and as individual qty eg if you have 1500 students and 150 staff syncing from AD then you would need to have 1500 student O365 proplus licenses and 150 staff(faculty as they call it) o365 proplus licenses. I would advise adding another typical year numbers of licenses for the bit inbetween new kids starting and the ones leaving eg +250 students licenses but this is completely up to you. if you only use the online o365 the licenses they can be upgraded yourself within the admin console To actually physically assign the licenses you go through each users in the admin console toggling the licenses you want to activate for each user. There is a PS script which we use if you get to that stage and want to save yourself (from shooting yourself in the head) loads of time you would then need to make users aware of it. if you are using AD connect then it will be the same email address and password on your network. we downloaded the MS promotional email templates I mentioned earlier. this page will help https://www.microsoft.com/en-GB/education/products/office-students-marketing-resources/default.aspx hope this helps
-
Ms have promotional downloads on a webpage somewhere. Things like emails/banners etc to help promote office 365 to your users. Can't remember how to navigate their through the admin console but you may be able to Google it. When I get back on my computer I will have a look and post the link.

yeah robocopy mirror switch (/mir) essentially clones the source with the destination. if there are extra files in the destinations these are purged. like a forced delete

We have our installed on our finance teams computers who manage the induction of students and staff. I have access to parent pay so can install it on my machine if need be but this hasn't been necessary.

Can I suggest that amongst the forum listing the OP can mark the thread as solved which then would be signified with maybe a green tick on the thread icon. Great work and Thanks in advance
