Have a look at VT Transaction Plus Final accounts production, iXBRL accounts and bookkeeping software from VT Software so so so much simpler than sage or any of the big boys, does vat and end of year returns and latest version can submit online - been using it for over 10 years for various enterprises. Highly recommended.

In simple terms 2 x 1gb copper is better than 1 x 1gb fibre Copper Twice the capacaity/bandwidth ( not speed though necessarily) redundancy in case 1 cable is damaged/fails

Are you talking to BT retail (the customer facing mob) who will only have instant info on lines people pay them for or BT Openreach (the poeple who provide lines etc for all and sundry) who will know about it if its a BT cable. Finance people are good to talk to in this instance as they know who money is paid to - remember look for any other company names that may be used (talk talk, plusnet etc etc) or are the lines provided by a central council contract. Are the lines part of an alarm system and possibly provided and paid for by the alarm company as part of the contract?

Best plan to be sure is ring the local team and have a chat with them and they will tell you straight and an exact answer, then you know for certain.

This may be a different issue, depending on how the outside tap was installed a lot have a one way valve in line and this will reduce flow.

Have a look at loxit - they do a range of stands including free standing smartboard units.

What about good old WOL?

Doesnt mean its a non starter depending on topolgy - have done 30KM links using this kit without issue. If you want me to look and see if this is possible then PM me the 2 schools and ill do some calcualtions.

Depending on the link and the topology is a Wireless PtP link a possibility? Look at the Ubiquiti AirFiber.. 1.5gbps aggregate Full Duplex. One off cost for supply and install and then completely in your control.

Have you got client isolation on your guest network (stopping devices on the same AP seeing each other) but not stopping seeing between different APS?

A good tool for longer links but short links are tricky - particularly as it doesnt account for trees/builings etc etc.

A pair of Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2 MIMO, PtP/PtMP Bridge, Base Station should do this ok (better at 2.4ghz than 5) althouh i make no guarantees - this is purely back of a fag packet but thers enough signal to do a useabale connection at that range. but at the price you can try it.

What range are we talking? What bandwidth do you need? what Latency can you take?

Look at the ubinquiti kit - the 900mhz stuff some claim is good but failing that a couple of isostations or nanostations may do it anyway - will be a case of "suck it and see" if you have no LOS.

Is the whole board affected? or just one area? What model of board? Have you tried with the bottom screws loosened to ensure board not warped/twisted? Are screen resolutions correct for the board ratio?

Are you reusing machine names - i have seen it before that AD doesnt tell the machine to reapply if the machine name still existed and was effectively overewritten. try remove, new SID, renmae, rejoin to domain and gpupdate /sync

Yes you will need to tag the port in the controller but each AP will need the port tagged on the switch for any vlans coming from it (if that makes sense). Remember to think about which vlan you will "manage" them on as well, again set in the controller software.

Yes, your ISP's as they will have to speak to open reach but its more in there interest to keep you happy as well! If needed do the whole speak to a manager at the call centre to show them you are unhappy and want it escalating - can also help move things as managers dont want to have to deal with issues, they want them sorted!

to tweak an old phrase.... "how longs a bt cable?" Ive found it varies in different areas due to demand and staff available (poles and holes guys) generally stick to either "poles" (overhead lines) or "holes" (underground lines) and depending on there work load. I would hope they can get it done within a couple of weeks but nothing is guaranteed in this world (other than death and taxes!). Best plan is to get a contact at the call centre and get contact details for them and chase ever couple of days until its done.

Looks like your root certs "may" be out of date?

They have finally seen sense and now recommend that all safety plug insert things are removed as the are not designed to any safety standard and actually stop the plugs safety mechanisms work as they are designed. See https://www.cas.dh.gov.uk/ViewandAcknowledgment/ViewAttachment.aspx?Attachment_id=102519 for more info. Anyone know of a use for several million plug inserts?!
