It's a shame Microsoft host it on IIS8/S2012 rather than NT Server 3.5 as the page claims

I have upgraded to HAP 10.2 and booking system 4.5 and it does the same as above - any ideas?

Is it me or does anyone find it strange that 2008 R2 gets IE11 whereas the newer server 2012 only gets IE10? I realize that not many people would browse the net on a server though!

I do it a similar way to @SHimmer45 but instead of smoothwall express, I use a pfSense VM to handle routing for my test network.

Disable the computer accounts in AD? This would prevent domain account logons, but not sure about local users though.

I realise that there has been a thread on this recently which suggests doing JSON debugging: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/home-access-plus/139194-hap-v10-problems-booking-system.html I've got HAP 10.1 up and running on server 2012R2 and have run firebug. Results are below. The only json response I can see is for the black drop down list with links to the various parts of HAP along with the custom category I have set up (Staff): [ATTACH=CONFIG]25876[/ATTACH] I also get the following errors in the console (with the all category selected in the firebug console): TypeError: (intermediate value)(...) is not a function https://localhost/hap/api/js/beforehap?/hap/bookingsystem/Cal.aspx=10.1.420.1900 Line 10 TypeError: $(...).fullCalendar is not a function https://localhost/hap/bookingsystem/Cal.aspx Line 146 TypeError: $(...).fullCalendar is not a function https://localhost/hap/bookingsystem/Cal.aspx Line 194 TypeError: $(...).fullCalendar is not a function https://localhost/hap/bookingsystem/Cal.aspx Line 194 One more thing to mention - Thank you for the excellent software!

I'm not overly fussed about RAID (partly due to the microservers inbuit RAID not working with ESXi) as I'm not going to be hosting anything critical on it.

I'm looking at upgrading my microserver N40L (as I need a bit more power/ram for ESXi). However, I'm torn between getting a supermicro server board and xeon or a Intel NUC (the i3 model). Does anyone have any experience with running ESXi on the NUC? (I'd like to get the xeon but I'm worried about the heat/noise it would kick out compared to the NUC)

For PXE, yes, you still need WDS. In the deployment share properties you can tell MDT to create an ISO image that you can either burn to a CD/DVD or extract to a bootable memory stick (you'll need to run bootsect.exe to install the bootloader to the USB stick though) to use on the odd machine that won't pxe boot.

Dell do a microserver equivalent called the t20 - it has a xeon and can take up to 32gb ram

It will be the name of the domain that the WDS/MDT server is a member of (if that doesn't work, try using a local user account on the MDT server with the domain set as the hostname of the MDT server). Providing that you haven't configured any domain join options in MDT, it will deploy the image as part of a workgroup.

Usually I have no issues with the mouse/KB not working. If it helps, the only driver I import into MDT is the VMXnet3 driver for networking (only needed if you use the VMXnet3 NIC). A few years ago I had issues when I imported all the drivers from the VMware tools installer causing random crashes and hangs during the deployment.

Same here too. We have a few unmanaged POE switches too (so have no choice on these ones).

Do you have this setting enabled in group policy?

I'd assume that the two use the same port and are arguing over it - I would try changing the port on one of them to something different.

I wonder what turkey would do that? Seems to be reasonably quiet at the moment for me

I run virtualbox on one of my member servers - it give me the shivers just thinking about it due to the issues mentioned above. I can't wait until I can shift it off to another computer.

Nope - I have done the same too. I should put this in as part of my MDT task sequence for deploying 7 and confuse everyone....

Have a look at WDS name and approve: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/59762-deploying-windows-7-through-wds-prompt-pc-name.html#post541839 edit - this assumes that you use just WDS for deployment (not MDT/SCCM etc)

Have a look at Home Access Plus - it has a booking system plugin and all you really need is a server running IIS.

Enable the following settings in group policy (make sure you use WMI filtering or item level targeting if you only want this to apply to specific machines): User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu & Taskbar > Prevent and Remove Access to the Shut Down/Sleep/restart/hibernate Commands User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu & Taskbar > Disable Logoff on the Start Menu Create a batch script containing the following, and save it on the desktop or in the start menu somewhere: shutdown /r /f /t 00 The batch script should force all running programs to close (/f) after 0 seconds (/t 00, you can adjust this if needed. for 10s, replace 00 with 10) and restart (/r)
