ICT Administration Manager - Solihull
Mcshammer_dj replied to RichLHS's topic in Educational IT Jobs
Just had a quick look at the advert and noticed the following: The successful candidate will hold a relevant Degree or equivalent qualification such as MCSE or SISCO CCNA. -
Not altogether sure that Learning Gateway is cheaper unless you are going down the LA hosted option. FOr a solo school wnating to use sims around the school then Terminal services is by far the cheapest route.

Depends on what level you are on at the moment. TO get the system to work on SQL server 2008 you really should use the migration tools supplied by capita with the autumn Release.

[sims] SIMS.net and multiple connect.ini files
Mcshammer_dj replied to Taunton81's topic in MIS Systems
Thought that you would like that..... This works within a large domain as well to connect to different machines. The only problem can come with the versions of SIMS -
[sims] SIMS.net and multiple connect.ini files
Mcshammer_dj replied to Taunton81's topic in MIS Systems
This works for me Change the name to the correct name of the server you want to connect to. [sIMSConnection] ServerName=name1\sims2005 DatabaseName=sims ServerType=SIMSSQL DatabaseMode=OnLine [sIMSDatabases] FriendlyName0=name1 Server0=name1\sims2005 DatabaseName0=sims DatabaseMode0=Online FriendlyName1=name2 Server1=name2\sims2008 DatabaseName1=sims_sec DatabaseMode1=Online FriendlyName2=name3 Server2=name3\sims2005 DatabaseName2=sims_training DatabaseMode2=Online FriendlyName3=name4 Server3=name4\sims2008 DatabaseName3=sims DatabaseMode3=Online -
Set proxy server in GP but giving me gyp
Mcshammer_dj replied to El_Nombre's topic in Windows Server 2000/2003
check other policies and the order that they apply. I have just done this on all 60 of my Domains, set by user and I had to check that there were no other policies that had settings applied -

the .bak file not copy the passwords as they are now stored in the master of the SQL server. There is a routine you can, and should run which will copy the passwords. The other way is to create a backup using dbattach of the database and then extract the .bak file from within the zip file and dbattach using the /restoreui switch

you need to add a database name to the script, you have only highlighted the server name

As a Pompey fan I would be delighted to see him sacked!!!!!!!!!

are you going dvi(PC) to vg (monitor) or the other way around??

agree with Ric on the proccessors(especially if you are installing full blown SQL server) Why not Server 2008? Assume that you are going to 64bit server?
-
Are the hard drives on your system Raided? How are you backing the data up? How are you distrubuting software? How are you controlling individual access againg group access? All things that can be considered when talking about a server. It is also worth noting that prices are not high for Servers in school. Hardware would be around £1500 for a goodish server with a backup solution. Licenses should be around £50-70, with CALS @ £4-5

Setup disks for DOS modules / Launcher, anyone?
Mcshammer_dj replied to harryeds's topic in MIS Systems
We have schools with Launcher for some of the historical data that was not converted to SQL. All our site still have the wssetup folder in the SIMS share. This has all the files to allow Launcher to be configured -
Test this out by trying to access SIMS by only using pulsar. The problems we normally find are linked to the speed of the network and the load placed by Simsload.exe, and the way that most AV's will scan each of the upgrade files in the setups folder
-
have you tried do this with a disk such as a music disk in the drive??
-
copy your SIMS.ini from the windows directory here please
-
try putting a disk of any type into the disk drive, and then run pulsar
-
This is ussually caused by the upgrade failing. It deletes files such a simsload.exe and then fails. Simply fix would be to run simsapplicationsetup.exe from the central setups folder on the machine in question. This will copy all the correct files back into place

Broadband promised to unite the world with super-fast data delivery - but in South Africa it seems the web is still no faster than a humble pigeon. A Durban IT company pitted an 11-month-old bird armed with a 4GB memory stick against the ADSL service from the country's biggest web firm, Telkom. Winston the pigeon took two hours to carry the data 60 miles - in the same time the ADSL had sent 4% of the data. Remind me never to complain about speed here in the UK

sounds like a problem with the lamda sensor, which detects the mix levels on idle. A cable may be disconnected

Can't install SIMS - "package missing" error
Mcshammer_dj replied to Rowley_THS's topic in MIS Systems
check the sims.ini in the windows directory -
I would go for HD now. Blueray players etc. Equally you could simply get a monitor and one of these Convert PC Monitor to TV - £55.99 : Random, Funky, Novelty, Funny Gifts in UK - Birthday Gift Ideas

The real advantage of this system is that the user makes the call for help via a simple web page. This then contacts you to allow you to support the system. I use it to help out a couple of mates. Even if they remove the software it will reinstall when they go the the webpage again.
