Rufus is ace! Dog2Work days should be weekly! I brought my dog into work over the weekend, she loved it, and I probably got more work done!

Missed the first few videos as I was away, but just watched the first one and laughed my head off at the size of my ticket! Love it! Make sure its that size for the PS4 draw

Its ok - I have created 50 edugeek usernames and got 50 jobs in different schools, so I reckon it's in the bag. Oh and I'm also Col's wedding photographer and chauffer just in case. I really wanna play GTA5

Well that's my weekend sorted, clearing some space for a PS4

Thanks both for the answers. I agree it must be a huge undertaking for MS to shift all these accounts around, and as we're only on the A2 subscription we can hardly go demanding upgrades. I can appreciate its hard to give definite dates for things too due to the numbers and that they don't want to compromise the service by moving too quickly. I think I was just a little disappointed having used W15 for a couple of weeks and been totally amazed by it, to then not get that version for my main tenancy. Good to know I'm not hunting around for an upgrade option anywhere though, and I'll wait with anticipation for the upgrade!

Anyone know if it is possible to request to be upgraded to the latest Office 365? Just upgraded from Live@edu and had been testing AD FS and DirSync in the latest version and really liked the latest version, so was a little disappointed to have stayed on the pre-upgrade version. We're planning a launch of Office 365's new features after half-term and the latest version really works very nicely!

So you wouldnt recommend them to run a VM environment on? Do you mind me asking what you have for your main storage?

Interesting you should mention the p4500 as that is one of the options for the new SAN. They have 10GBase-CX4 nics as an option I think? Do you happen to know what the part number is for the module for the 5406zl? I did try the HP site but the link take sme to printer cartridges... Id be interested in whether you recommend the p4500s? I'm guessing so as you have 6 of them!

I think I had always thought of keeping the VM Backbone separate to my core backbone for better performance, however the 5406zl has nearly 4 times the switching capacity of my current 5308xl so it should be well within its capacity. I am also looking to replace the 5308xl and start down the road of getting 10Gb to my edge switches too, so this could work out more cost effective.

Hi I'm looking to replace my VM Backbone switch, wanting to take advantage of 10GbE. Wondered what people were using? Want to put 10Gb cards in my VM hosts and SAN and get rid of the 4Gb LACP trunks I'm currently using. Cheers!

Hi Strange one here. Uploading an excel 2007/2010 (xlsx) file through the extended version appears to be slightly corrupting the file. Opening an uploaded xlsx file gives the following message: Excel found unreadable content in '.../xlsx'. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trurst the souce of this workbook, clik Yes. It manages to then successfully open the file, and there doesn't appear to be any data lost, however you do then get the following message: Excel completed file level validation and repair. Some parts of this workbook may have been repaired or discarded. I've checked the MIME types on the IIS 7 server that is hosting it, and they look fine. Have also tried it with a word document and it did the same. Interestingly though it doesn't affect excel or word 2003 files. Also, the basic version handles xlsx and docx files fine, which suggests IIS is probably fine. Anyone else seen a similar thing?

Ah! went back through the setup of the app pool in v6 and se the Identity to NetworkService and we're all up and running! Noticed the timetable page - is this work in progress or is there a report def available to populate it?

Hi Nick Unfortunately that gives me a pop up with Bad Request when I enter the password (that's with HAP as the root directory and as a sub directory)

Hi! Looking forward to getting v7 up and running (and like the look of the new metro style for v7.5) Unfortunately I'm having a bit of a problem getting it up and running. On first glance it looks to be a similar issue with bindings however I'm either missing something really obvious, or somethign else is going on... If I set up with just https binding I get the following error pop up when I enter the user password for the AD connection: SYstem.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException. In my application event log I also get the message: The exception message is: Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https]. If I add in the http binding then I just get a pop up saying Internal Server Error when entering the password. I have tried adding the site in as a new website and also as a virtual path in an existing website (which was how I got HAP 6 to work). I have also tried removing: from the web.config but doing so sets me Bad Request when I enter the password. I'm pretty sure I've followed the video and the documentation correctly, but I'm obviously missing something. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks very much! That's great, fixed the photo and the tab issue!
