Hi guys, wonder if anyone can help. I am replacing an ancient Cisco switch with a HP ProCurve 2920 I have done most of the config but struggling with the differing proprietary commands for a few of the settings on the HP. I have just 2 vlans setup and need to replicate the below config on the new HP switch (have grabbed the section of config from the existing Cisco switch): spanning-tree mode pvst no spanning-tree optimize bpdu transmission spanning-tree extend system-id ! ! ! ! interface FastEthernet0/1 switchport access vlan 2 no cdp enable ! interface FastEthernet0/2 switchport access vlan 2 no cdp enable ! interface FastEthernet0/3 switchport access vlan 2 no cdp enable ! interface FastEthernet0/4 switchport access vlan 2 no cdp enable ! interface FastEthernet0/5 switchport access vlan 2 switchport trunk native vlan 2 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,1002-1005 switchport mode trunk no cdp enable spanning-tree portfast ! interface FastEthernet0/6 switchport access vlan 2 switchport trunk native vlan 2 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,1002-1005 switchport mode trunk no cdp enable spanning-tree portfast ! interface FastEthernet0/7 switchport access vlan 2 switchport trunk native vlan 2 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,1002-1005 switchport mode trunk no cdp enable spanning-tree portfast ! interface FastEthernet0/8 switchport access vlan 2 switchport trunk native vlan 2 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,1002-1005 switchport mode trunk no cdp enable spanning-tree portfast Many thanks

Brilliant!! lol

I have 3 class sets of iPads here, setup using a mixture of Smoothwall (proxy.pac file pulled down) and Apple configurator. They work well and every users logs in with their current ad username/password. Bit of a swine to configure but now works well. We have the luxury of having a Citrix environment so can use them as a traditional tablet but also run a full Windows 7 desktop on them if / when required. I am looking at the Linx 10.1" tablets for several of our feeder primary schools (around £140 with keyboard/case and Windows 8.1 Pro) - feel free to pm me if you want any more technical info with regards my setup.

Let me know if you don't manage to get a copy, I definitely have an oem copy you can have

yeah it made my giggle too but it was the best abbreviated name i could think of for a wide area network feed on the curriculum side and it keeps me amused everytime I log into Putty!!

Here's my VLAN setup

I use a wildcard SSL from Go Daddy, have several sites (O365, remote access, parent portal etc) and renewing individual SSL's every 12 months was a real pain, it has also meant we can roll out future stuff without having to purchase a new SSL each time.

none here too!

Hi would this script help? Its a Powershell Script for copying files from a source to a destination and forcing folder creation if it does not exist at the destination, see below: $targetdirectory = "D:\To" $sourcedirectory = "\\server\from" if (!(Test-Path -path $targetdirectory)) {New-Item $targetdirectory -Type Directory} Copy-Item -Path $sourcedirectory\file.zip -Destination $targetdirectory

+1 for Malwarebytes, its great at picking up PUP's, use it all the time!

Brill, thanks for the info, will give that a try this afternoon

Yeah the head of IT has given me the full Serif suite to install, successfully scripted and rolled out silently, but he has said that he stills requires the Macromedia studio too - not sure why??, trying to run 10-15 year old applications is such a problem.

It starts the installer and can't get past the licence agreement page

Hi all, has anyone managed to script the Macromedia MX 2004 suite (sorry I know its really old but our staff still require it!), I am trying to push it out silently (through MDT) I have managed to get over 124 applications successully scripted but struggling with this one (I need to push out the entire suite - Dreamweaver / Flash / Freehand / Fireworks / ColdFusion) Any help gratefully appreciated

Hi all, not sure if this is in the correct forum but I am trying to do a silent install of IEP Writer version 3 (to push out using MDT) cannot get the script to push out silently, has anyone managed to get this deployed silently? I have tried virtually every combination of /S /Silent /Verysilent /passive -silent –eulaAccepted etc etc on the end of my script which is below: @echo OFF CLS "%~dp0Install.exe" -silent –eulaAccepted :: Return exit code to SCCM exit /B %EXIT_CODE% Any help gratefully received (I am also having some issues with some other very old applications which I'll be posting later)

I am currently running School Guardian but I'm just in the process of configuring their UTM product (migrating over the summer), I setup all of school guardian based on security groups. I will be configuring the UTM product in exactly the same way. I agree by using security groups I think it gives you a bit more flexibility but at the end of the day I think its mainly just end user preference. Either way would work well, I'm going to stick with security groups as this is how I configured Guardian, it works well and my AD setup is configured ready to go. Hope this helps.

We used to use QLShutdown (QwertyLabs) before we made use of the Power Management options from within the Impero suite (which we purchased to do other things - the power management was just a nice feature that was included) QLShutdown isn't free, about $200 I think for the single PC version with unlimited clients. It worked great for the 2 years or so I had it in place. Here's a link: Qwertylab - Software for network administration and PC remote control

HP ProCurve here, excellent kit and been faultless, no issues in 3 years.

Yes I am already using some conditional formatting within the spreadsheet, I might be over complicating it (perhaps need a coffee and a break) by trying to make one formula do everything. What I think I'm going to do is use a countif to tot up all the grades and then another to put into A-C, A-G and work out the percentages etc (which I have working great and colour coding) and then create a separate column that then does a countif against that data to give me expected or beyond expected progress and then conditional format the results - hope that kinda makes sense. Thanks sparkeh for the info..... it was what I needed..

Hi all Wonder if anyone knew if it was possible to produce a countif statement that would use certain results and then fill the cell a certain colour. I know you can use a countif to count cell colours. I am basically trying to use a countif to pull through assessment data (which I have already done, it works out percentage A-C, A-G etc) and then based on the results then colour the cells that tells me if that grade is expected or beyond expected by comparing it to other data within the spreadsheet. Is this possible, any ideas / comments much appreciated. (Office 2010 and 2013 both in use - if that helps)

Hi all (Not sure if this topic has been covered before or if its in the right place?) I am the network manager at a state school (currently going through academy conversion). I have been made a core member of a new marketing / PR team and have been tasked with investigating making better use of social media for marketing purposes. I thought Edugeek would be a great place to start just to see what other schools / academies are currently doing. Any info / feedback would be greatly received, thanks in advance.

Signed up too!

Voted for Xirrus as its what we have in place here - I have 19 arrays here covering the whole site, never have any issues and performance / coverage is great. Currently using a mixture of Windows and iOS devices.
