Hi Jen , we have a meru network and would be glad of a couple of wireless AP's going spare if someone doesnt take the whole kit from you. thank you, can i ask why you moved FROM meru?

jinnan, its sql 2008, however there is no way its fully patched becuase i tried to run SQL 2008 best practice analyser on it, then it asked for best practice framework as a prerequitsie, then it asked for powershell , the server is *supposed* to be fully managed by the LEA . So i do not dare do much with it TBH. ( last week i got such a telling off for rebooting the cisco pix , thats fully managed by the LEA) . Awkward.

you are going to think im mad but i have been watching SQL actmon all day, and running the script to show who's taking upall the CPU. I have been ringing users straight away and ask what they where doing in SIMS at the time and they all say the same thing :- "sims is just open and i havn't touched it for a while" ... so is it possible there some kind of sleep function in sims making my CPU max out? see pic for latest result

LEA are passing this onto capita support, so fingers crossed will get a phonecall soon.

Ok now I know theres a problem looking at the comparison :-( Heres my top 10 running the script http://www.helpdesksupport.co.uk/sims.csv Server is still very HIGH CPU useage. regarding the backup. it has been successful. However the way i think it is done is :- When you right click the sims database ALL tasks > backup > full backup. I think this is automated daily and then this goes to tape. The LEA is reasponsible for this server and so i am going to ring them to see if i can esculate this as its getting abit beyond me but any extra input is appreciated,.

thanks butuz , sounds like a similar setup, would you mind comparing SIMS sizes too? my sims.ldf is 14GB and sims.mdf is 2.7 GB , im sure somethings not right somewhere. going to run that script tomorrow at a busy time to see who is doing what

ok have the results, shall i post them or what am i loking for?

thanks jinnantonnixx Does This mean anything to anyone? I;m guessing it just havsn't got eh CPU required but i maybe wrong

hi MAtt, this is taken at busist point of day, CPU = xeon 2.ghz ( four cores) x3220. Just wondering what else people have...

Hey People, Would anyone mind comparing SQL 2008 perfmon? running sims

yes certainly, we are doing a combined ICT refresh this summer for 2 "feeder" primary schools and some 6th form. Just wanted to know if we could save some pennies.

how much for the lot? and some kind of assett list?

hi cromer, yes we have secureaccess aswell, and OCR, promissor, ESM (ALAN) , becoming overrun by exam software!

Does anybody have the joy of deploying these msi clients in the next couple of weeks? Its RM OCR test plus sitting, you have an "admin install" and a client install that shopuld all sync together, am having quite a few problems!
