Yuo don't need to detach the database using dbattach. simply use the built in backup process via a command line script. I also use the exellent sims tidy routine created by @matt40k to keep the size down

as TMG is an ISA server you could look at redircting ssl requests to use http??

check your version of Flash player. I get access no problems and am using 11.7.700.224

I have a doc I wrote for doing this if you want. Happy to send to you if you can PM me details.

I would wait and move to SQL 2012

I think we should all get behind the great BRITISH hope in Murray. Until the great Scottish git fails.

solus - login and go to SIMS information School Manager - Any released patches will be listed and a report run. Solus 3 - Don't know haven't gone to bed with the devil yet.........

I would take up the tiles, and then if going onto floorboards I would use marine Ply sheeting (ideally at least 6mm thick) screwed down evenly. Make sure you get the right adhesive (designed for wood_ and then lay your tiles. I am currently doing this and have layed the ply and fixed. Will be doing all the tiling next week

this might help - Veeam Backup & Replication for VMware, Help Center

That is a process to trigger the backup of an application without the need to shut it down. It uses VSS to complete the task. As to the need it depends on how you manage your sims data, your sims patching and your sims backups. I practise it should allow the backup to run witout needing to shut any services and therefore will allow you to recover sims from the point of backup if you ever need to.

In a late twist to the Chris Huhne case Aston Villa have claimed that they were actually driving the car at the time and have asked if they can have the three points please!!!!

Bill Roache, Freddy Star, Stuart Hall, Rolf Harris. Prison Panto should be amazing this year!!

our central pricing means that the 2609 and a second proc comes in cheaper than the 2620 single proc. I would also ensure that the PSU and the drives are hotswap

I would go to 16 GB ram and what HDD's are you planning to use?

Print out the register for each class and laminate it. Take the register online and then at a specific time print out the list of missing pupils and maintain this list offline as pupils arrive late. In the event of a fire the teachers take their laminates out and mark children that are present and then report to the fire officer to confirm any missing marks against the ecntral missing pupils list.

sounds like a dns issue to me.

try changing the port for the docstorge or even the protocol

yeah we are at 1.608.4.0 I would suggest that getting a more up to date setups folder will help to fix

what is the version of simsinst.exe

I use skipole here and it really is simple to use and gives a similar ability to monitor skipole-monitor - A simple network monitor with built in web server - Google Project Hosting

I appear to fall into "Established middle class"

Mine is 3 months to allow my employer to get a replacement in the event of my leaving. Equally however th notice period for anything other than gross negligence is the same length if they want to get rid of me...

Create a share on the server(my drive is G:) called installers and apply the security settings for users to be able to access Copy the discover folders into this directory Run the following on the server g:\installers\discover\Setups\ServerSetupFiles\Server\SIMSDiscoverServer.msi /quiet INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\SIMS\Discover Services" SQLSERVER=server\sims2008 DATABASENAME=Discover SIMSSQLSERVER=server\sims2008 SIMSDATABASENAME=SIMS TRUSTEDCONNECTION=1 g:\installers\discover\Setups\SIMSDiscoverClient.msi /quiet INSTALLDIR="C:\Program files\sims\Discover Client" SQLSERVER=server\sims2008 DATABASENAME=Discover SIMSSQLSERVER=server\sims2008 SIMSDATABASENAME=SIMS and only this on the clients g:\installers\discover\Setups\SIMSDiscoverClient.msi /quiet INSTALLDIR="C:\Program files\sims\Discover Client" SQLSERVER=server\sims2008 DATABASENAME=Discover SIMSSQLSERVER=server\sims2008 SIMSDATABASENAME=SIMS You will then need to upgrade the dicover datbase which needs to be done manually.

you can upgrade the client using the command line installers easily but will need to do a mnual upgrade on the server. All of my schools upgrade the client from a login script

are you talking about upgrading the client or upgrading the server??
