Please try later. If the problem persists, please contact your support team. X Close SOLUS.LOG shows Error when getting Manifest as well as the error above This is a site specific problem i.e. does not happen for all schools The release has definitely been authorised. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advice FIX 1:- This behaviour is most likely caused by the presence of The Microsoft Internet Explorer Security Enhancement feature on the server. Please ensure that this component is configured to allow access to SOLUS or you can remove the feature via Add/Remove Programs > Windows components on the server. FIX 2:- This is where a site has multiple core licences (Local Support Units Only) This needs to be resolved by the Distribution Team - please log a call with the Service Desk if you are experiencing this error. FIX 3: SOLUS 2 requires access to SOLUSUpdateService Web Service in order to negotiate with School Manager as to what downloads are available. It would appear that this is failing in this case Checks that can be made Can Internet explorer get to SOLUSUpdateService Web Service Simply paste this address in to the address bar. If it cannot access it then please check that your firewalls are not preventing access. This is http traffic and so it should not normally be blocked in Internet explorer. If it can access the above URL then it may be that your proxy server / firewalls prevent Solus.exe accessing the above address. Please check firewall settings to ensure that this access is allowed for Solus.exe (applications can have different rights). Check the firewall is open on HTTP, Port 80 Check that the proxy server name, user name and password are correct. Whilst it is usual to get some form of proxy server errors, some errors that are shown may not be obvious

Huge thanks to Simon and CP Ltd. Big savings to be had. Fellow geekers, if you're not using them, you should be.

A lad at the school next door (just back from holidaying in Mexico) is being tested as we speak!! We have a shared site and share some buildings......time to break out the masks

EDIT: Actualy looking at the two desktops next to each other I have a scary feeling I'm turning into a woman. You've certainly got the hair for it

Is your budget being cut because of this news? Mine is on hold until the school have decided what to do.......

Big thumbs up for Stone, simply the best.

Take a look at iDesk Welcome to i-desk Solutions LTD, The Worlds First Integrated PC Desk We've got one on trial at the moment, we're looking to buy 20 for Music.

Student came up yesterday asking if we could restore a file that she had been working on at home and had mistakingly overwritten her original, she was fully expecting us to recover a file from our backup because her teacher told her that we backed up everything!

task manager - users - logoff?

Does anyone know of any funding available for computers for pupils at home? I am aware of the Governments CfP £90 million project 2006-08 of which Gloucestershire was allocated £0, and no funding has been announced for 2008-09.

Smarter Interactive They've been awesome for us for the last 6 years

Do anyone besides the kids use your router at weekends? If not just unplug it!

Search on here for 'BSF' and read......when you finish which will be sometime next week your Techy will be back and giving you work to do.

Try 'Inside Man' - Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Christopher Plummer, Jodie Foster.......awesome watch.

I saw a demo from Exterity (IPTV), it looked pretty good but costly: Exterity - building IPTV - MPEG Encoders, TV Gateways, IPTV Receivers and Video on Demand

AD - highlight all students and use the profile tab, set home folder to \\server\students\%username% This will give each student full access to their home folder??

Boxster - no back seats Impreza - too common Evo - Yeeessss

Love the looks of the Astra and 240 BHP a bonus but afraid they only do a 3 door version, don't like the Megane that much.

Yep awesome bit of kit, I drove one at mallory park a couple of years ago, very quick and good fun.

I realise the old rotary engine isn't very economical and uses quite a bit of oil but it revs to 9000 and looks awesome.

'The students can now access their files from any computer in school' - what the hell sort of system did they have before!!

I like the type-r but they don't do a five door.

As she walks out with her suitcase, I could of course go one better and buy a car and a fast bike but then I definately would be divorced

Both mine and the wifes ISA's are maxed this year and we already have next years 3600 x 2 ready for April. I want a newish fast car before i'm too old.

I'm all for spending 5k on a car and the rest on a jet ski but again it's getting it past the wife.
