Great Super smashing so pleased for him

On my servers this is normally a sign of problems on the media, what are you backing up onto??

How did you move the data. It is worth remembering that in the current structure SIMS password s are stored in the master.mdf and only passed to the sims database during a dbattach action. I would imagine that the capita migration ensures that the passwords are transfered as a part of the migration.

Looks like SOuthampton may have taken a hit.... oh hang on it always looks like that

I appear to have survived as well

Interest that the latest SIMS guidance is as follows: Computer and processor 3.0 GHz processor or higher (Quad Core 2.4 GHz or higher recommended for optimum performance in secondary schools and sites using InTouch). Memory (minimum recommended) 2GB or higher (4GB recommended for optimum performance in secondary schools and sites using InTouch). Disk space guidance Overhead space—1GB working space + 1/4GB for SQL Express. Customers should allow 5MB per pupil/student. For example, a 1000 pupil/student school would be advised to have at least 5GB free for SIMS. File Server—2GB for applications and SIMS Setups folder.

Sound a little high what size is your sims?

Tell them what they have done and suggest that to tidy the cabinet up they will need to re-rack the server the same way........

I managed to get to 66 last night and am now taking a break before the final push. As stated before some of these really need abstract thinking...

Perhaps that can be found further down in the bin !!!!!!!

if your buget will allow for faster disks then you should always use them.

have they all been authorised? run a report and check what the status is. Also try setting a deadline in the past

this link should help How to remove data in Active Directory after an unsuccessful domain controller demotion As long as you don't try to reconnect the server after cleaning up you should have no problems. That is to say wipe it and totally rebuild.

are you using sophos

Age of the profiles you wanrt to clean Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - User Profiles, on the right pane, "Delete user profiles than a specified number of days on system restart"

yeah good point, UPH is built into the windows 7 OS but can be editied from a WIndows 7 GPO.

simply downloaded from the MS website we use it on all our domains and yes it can stop the problem with profiles you are having. Apply to the machine GPO

have you got the user hive profile cleanup tool running

yeah not really what I would call a dog. Also fun to watch the video on silent and play music then they just look like dancing robots!!
