It's time for me to leave so if anyone wants my job then here is the link to the advert : Vacancies | Parkfield Primary School We are a large (740 children) Outstanding Primary school in Satley Birmingham. A quick over view of the systems in place that you are in charge of: Server 2008R2 Hyper-V with SAN 50 Desktop Machines 70 Macs 250 iPads 120 Chromebooks Paxton Net2 Door Entry CCTV Tricaster Newtek TV studio Radio Station Engineers Academy Promethean IWBs Ruckus WiFi As a rough quide. If you would like a tour then feel free to get in touch. Closing date is very soon, so please get the application form in. No CVs I'm afraid. Rich

Just removing the adaptor and re adding now. Yes other DCs are running fine through it.

Hi, We've got 3 DCs. The main one is DC-02 and it has gone down for reasons that I can't figure out. It's a virtual machine running 2008R2 and the LAN is showing as Authentication failed. DC-01 has picked and is working, but I'm really not comfortable with this. Any ideas why it's done this and how to fix it or what the best next step is?

Hi, There is a finance meeting tonight (it's been moved by a week to make it easier..) And I need a quote for 100 11" Chromebooks and education licence for them. Does anyone have a supplier they can recommend? I've already got a quote from Misco but need 3 due to the value of them. Thanks

Hyper-V 2008R2. Ok, will try and get it shut down over a weekend and see how it goes from there. Is it just the VM I would need to shut down or the host as well?

Ahh, there aren't any snapshots showing in the console.. The plot thickens

Hi, I can't see checkpoints anywhere within either the Hyper-V or Cluster manager. Where should I see it?

We are using Redstor for the backup but we don't take snap shots of the servers, we just back up the database and files for SIMS. Any idea what I can do about this? How reliable and how long should it take to merge them back together?

Hi, I'm hoping there are some gurus on Hyper-V on here as I'm getting really confused with something. On our SAN I've got a volume of 760Gb for our Sims Data drive. On the host I can see the volume is 760Gb so that's fine. Within that volume I've got 3 files, a Sims-Data.VHD at 520Gb, a Sims-Data_LOTS-OF-NUMBERS.AVHD at 248Gb and then a sims-data-expanding.vhd at 17Gb. Within Hyper-V the hard drive attached as the drive is the Sims_Data_LOTS-OF-NUMBERS.avhd. The virtual machine is showing a Data drive of 496Gb in capactity, but with 370Gb free. What's really cooking my brain, is that the machine paused this morning due to running low on space on the disk. Can anyone shed any light on what's gone wrong here and how I can fix it? Many thanks

Hi, Has anyone else been having internet issues this week? We've been having a rough time of it with DNS apparently being the problem. Have had no update from Link other than a text last week saying there is an issue. Driving me crazy!!

Using the Online Beta. I'm hoping it will stay connected for quite a while then. It does seem to be hammering our upload connection though which I wasn't expecting. - - - Updated - - - I was wondering when the puns would start. That one is Eggcelent though...

Thanks for the info! Every day is a school day. This is also a technical exercise to see how long a YouTube live stream stays up for.

Regards nothing in the incubator, I don't know to be honest. The chap who just dropped them off said that's how they are and that's kind of it. Don't they eat the shell once they are born for their first food? I've got 5 chickens myself and wanted to go on a course to learn how to properly despatch and prepare them but the wife wouldn't allow it...

In case you are interested, we have just had some eggs delivered to school that will hopefully start to hatch either Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. If you want to watch the glorious birth then check out the stream here: https://www.youtube.com/user/ParkfieldCommunity/live It's fairly low quality, but does the job. Tech Spec - Stone i5 Laptop, Hue Webcam, OBSProject to send the stream to YouTube and record.

I don't understand what you mean, sorry. Are you talking physical port of software port? If I made the last physical connection between the internal network and the BGFL network the smoothwall, how would I need to set it up?
