I work for two LA schools that are federated and both use SIMS/FMS. The question came up in a meeting about the possibility of moving away from SIMS. For anyone that has gone through this process for LA schools could you answer some questions? Also what MIS system you moved to and how it was received? • Is there any info about the data transfer from SIMS we need to be aware of? Does anything get missed etc? • How do CTF’s IN AND OUT work + Census etc? Does this cause issues for the LA or School if not using SIMS? • I don’t know how much integration there is with SIMS and FMS at the moment because I don’t use the systems but is there anything to be aware of that being separate if we moved away from SIMS? • Anything else you can think of that we need to be aware of? Thanks

Can't seem to find that and no way to do it in Hyper-V Yes, heard that before. Just annoying that it worked for years and then stopped, while it works everywhere else we have it deployed. Yes, tried various settings with no change Will look into that but don't think we have it enabled anyway...

Hi all, Got a strange issue on one RDS server for the last 6 months or so. The majority of SNB files (that work perfectly well on every other device) don't work when using a remote desktop session, the words get scrambled up. This RDS server is a Hyper V. The Host server and RDS server are all up to from Windows Update and drivers from Dell including the host graphics drivers being changed a few times. Also tried adjusting the remote desktop client options in regards to graphics and quality, again with no joy. Smart Notebook has also been uninstalled and reinstalled with different versions tried. It does work fine if I remote in via LogMeIn to the RDS server and open an SNB file. It also works if I use the Hyper-V virtual machine connection. Any ideas?

Hi Guys, Has any one got a working script for creating these. I've tried a couple but they don't seem to work for one reason or another. We are whitelisted so that won't be an issue. It's just too much to create 400 ID's. I need to get a script working one way or another! Cheers

Spot on, many thanks to both of you. That saved me a lot of time!

Thanks, I'll try it out. Next problem, I can get Excel to produce ipad1 -> ipad164 but as soon as I add the full email address it wont do it. It pastes ipad1,2,3,4 ipad1,2,3,4 Can you tell I don't use Excel! You guessed right! Such a joy trying to get them configured and deployed!

Has any one got a script that can achieve this from a CSV file? Cheers

Hi, I'm getting confused here! Can anyone answer some questions for me? We have just got 30 iPad's with a charge and sync trolley. It has 2x USB's to connect to all 30. I understand that I can use Apple Configurator to manage the iPad's and deploy apps which I have successfully done today. I have used a normal Apple ID to download the IPA's through the iTunes store. I have also signed up to and got working, Meraki, with our school VPP account. This is where I am getting confused. If I use Apple Confirgurator then I can sync all the apps I want and they sync to the devices without any user interaction or being asked to sign in to an iTunes account which is exactly what we want. If I use Meraki (which would be handy for remotely installations when I'm not there and the benefits of VPP, if there are any?) then I can use the VPP account but it appears that every device needs its own Apple ID to accept new apps. Am I missing something or is this about right? Cheers

I know it's old but this really helped me out today. I had to set the current primary DC to burflag D4 and the new one to D2.

Don't think so but can you confirm where you mean please.

Any one?

Hi Chaps, Most of our staff use roaming profiles. This is set within Active Directory under user properties then the profile tab. We then have a path set on the server for the profile folder. This works well. Some staff do not need or want a roaming profile and to be honest I'm swaying towards this my self for the rest of the staff at some point in the future. The problem comes when I remove the profile path from user properties/profile tab. Even if I delete the folder from our share on the server and the local one from the PC, the profile gets recreated. I can't figure it out, where could it pulling these settings from? Maybe I'm just having a mind block, need some pointers please

All resolved. Added it to the Curriculum server again and had the same strange issues when I last tried it but updated drivers sorted it. Thanks for your help chaps.

Thanks, I did try that a while ago but there was some issue which I can't remember. Will try that method again and let you know the error.
