Thinking of going Virtual with our server
jamesreedersmith replied to talksr's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
Why not use windows Hyper-V instead - much more user friendly and better integration with windows VM;s -
Have a look at Loxits wall to floor mounts https://loxit.com/shop/led-lcd-mounts/led-lcd-wall-mounts/fixed-height-wall-to-floor-mount-multi-position-up-to-130kg/ transfers the weight to the floor (and no floor drilling needed) used them loads when wall wouldnt take the weight (can get them to suit whiteboards or LED/LCD interactive screens) they also do electrically height adjustable which are great for SEN schools as make the ideal for mixed ages etc.

MySQL in schools - How do you make this happen?
jamesreedersmith replied to RJohnson91's topic in How do you do....it?
Do you run Hyper-V - spin up a linux bos (centos or ubuntu) and then install a webmin module and a MySQL module and away you go. Set up 1 DB per pupil with seperate logins. Alternatively Spin up a windows VM and install WAMP and use that? Several ways to skin a fish....... -

How to install SOLUS/SIMS on a standalone laptop
jamesreedersmith replied to MarcLister's topic in MIS Systems
Just put it in the domain as normal and make sure its in a group that has cached credentials enabled, then she will log in as normal etc and the same at home and can still be managed and software installed upgraded as normal when she does use it in school - so much simpler... -

Are you internally on the same LAN or accssing it remotely (outside the network) is this the same as before? Can you access your account ok via OWA?

How are you accessing it - internal to the network or from external? has it worked before or is this the first time you are trying to access it?

In which case you have most of the tools you need for a large number of titles (those that have an MSI) can be done thourgh Groupl Policy Application Deployment, those that dont have an MSI can genearlyl be scripted and then done as a startup script, use the search option on the forum, theres 1000's of threads about this. Also have a google about it.

Cheap VDSL Router with QoS
jamesreedersmith replied to Fraser-09's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Dont forget that virtually none of the home ISPS support QOS anyway so as soon as the traffic leaves her home it would be subject to normal internet latency and the router wont help. -

Exchange certificate error on internal outlook clients
jamesreedersmith replied to mrbios's topic in Enterprise Software
Its to do with a name mismatch have a look at https://www.digicert.com/internal-domain-name-tool.htm gives you some useful info and a tool to make the change. You may need to create a DNS zone as well but the blog attached to the above helps. -

Room logging in system - a bit like a timeclock
jamesreedersmith replied to unixman_again's topic in Blue Skies
Yes just a scanner that dumps to a database or sql DB? -
Check on disaster recovery/backups plans and ensure they are up to scratch as if the s*** hits the fan it will be you it hits. Look at planning some staff/team meetings and appraisals/catchups with your team and help them develop like it sounds you have managed to. Look carefully at budgets and always squirrel away a little cntingency under a suitable sneaky budget heading (or headings to spread it out) - look for and make savings where you can. Hope they help a little!
