We are still with Sophos and it does a good job. We have never had anything it cant deal with and the Endpoint security version is great. Simple to install, simple to mange that's what I like :-)

[acs] Importing data from FFT live into CMIS Facility
WOW_freak replied to WOW_freak's topic in MIS Systems
Well after 5 days, I still haven't got all the data correctly into KS4 as the template that Serco provide doesn't actually import their predicted grade! I think I'm going to suggest John's method of letting the staff enter the grades manually until this is resolved by Serco and FFT. Grrr. Thanks for your help. -
[acs] Importing data from FFT live into CMIS Facility
WOW_freak replied to WOW_freak's topic in MIS Systems
Yes John, But it doesn't work correctly :-) And the other posts on there are outdated. We had Serco in the other day and they said it was due to FFT changing the format at last minute and not letting anyone know. They are working on resolving it but didnt have an expected date -

I will try work out which fields map where and post when I have them :-) -
Has anyone managed to sucessfully import the FFT Live data into Facility? If so, could you explain the process please as our data manager is having difficulties. There was a previous thread on here, but it doesn't go into detail of the new live data. Thanks.

Our Head wants me to look at getting an ultra portable projector. but from what I have seen they are pretty useless. This was 2 years ago though. Does anyone have any dealings with these? I'm not talking pico but something less than 200mm x 200mm.

@DHICKS A Standard 18v 1.8ah Cordless is more than adequate for that, I would always go for SDS now. Use plasterboard screws for securing it though. Like Metal RediDrivas 35mm Pack of 100 - Screwfix.com, Where the Trade Buys. Unlike rawplugs, these will not slide out of the wall as soon as you place a book on your shelf :-) Don't expect a plasterboard fixing to hold heavy items though, its ok for books and CD's, etc but not for TV's and the like. For that you need to be drilling into masonary and using rawplugs. As for whats behind your plasterboard, dont drill above, below or horizontally either side of sockets or switches. Cables will generally run in those directions. I would invest in a cable detector though, as I recently found a 10mm shower cable running diagonally accross a wall with my now very bent drill bit. (Oh the joys of no RCD's or breakers and a fuse that been modified with a generous winding of fuse wire). It melted the drill bit and gave everyone a lovely fireworks show :-) Makita, Bosch and DeWalt drills have never seen me wrong. Hope that helps.

If you are going through metre thick walls you will need something with serious power (As a sparky I have gone through a few 18 & 24v cordless drills this way!). Forget 18V altogether, they will burn out too quickly. I currently have a 36V Lithium Ion Bosch.Bosch Cordless Rotary Hammer GBH 36 VF-LI Discount Building Supplies Ltd It's as capable as a mains powered 2KG Hammer drill. But its not cheap, I got a deal on mine for £350 off ebay, but it should be around £550. If you can manage with a mains powered, go for a 3KG+ Hammer Drill (loads in screwfix or toolstation). They are much cheaper. As a side note, dont buy metre drill bits from main suppliers. Go to Ebay. I used to pay £80 for a decent metre drill bit, now I pay a tenner! They wont last as long, but mine has lasted 2 years of serious abuse so far. Hope this helps :-)

Hi All, As a porky sysadmin I have decided to set myself the challenge of running a 10k race for Cancer Research.

Thank you. :-)

See my earlier reply. I get this same problem, but doing it the way I posted seems to open it for me.

Sometimes the open other users mailbox doesnt work for me and I have to do the following : Goto tools Goto Account settings Select your mailbox Click on change Click on more settings Click on the advanced tab Click on Add next to open these additional mailboxes Type the name off the account. This will then add their mailbox underneath yours. This will only work if you have permission to see that users mailbox. Not sure why I have to go through it that way sometimes but I do
