I only have phone and Broadband and mine is going up by £3.49 according to the letter they sent me. I could get a flavour of Openreach Broadband but this 2015, I live on the edge of a city and speeds of upto 4MB a second is not an acceptable standard nowadays. Not when trying to use on-demand on a sky box etc. Sky keep trying to sell me there unlimited Broadband free for a year, but they simply can't complete with Virgin for speeds in my area. Nearest exchange is 3 miles away, hasn't even got fibre broadband yet, it's going to "soon" but it has being going to "soon" for over 2 years now. Even then 3 miles of miserable BT copper doesn't appeal to me, I don't even know where the BT master socket is!

I am lead to believe Sky are actually trying to move to an internet based TV package, to allow them to reduce the costs of installations and maintaining the current satellites they use. So it wouldn't surprise me if they will encourage people to move over onto a new broadband based service. If only Openreach could offer decent broadband to everyone the idea would work....

Centrify is about (depending on your needs): £550 per 5 Administration licenses (one off I believe) £375 per 10 workstations license (again one off I believe) Annual ongoing support is about £250 or so on a very low number of iMacs and you have to take it in the first year, it should entitle you to upgrades etc.

You could clarify what software they are using to encrypt the USBs it might be Bitlocker for example, which will likely be free for your school to install and use anyway, so if it was installed it would allow them to decrypt their USB.

I thought they gave you a USB to Serial cable in the box nowadays, or atleast a management cable, that looks like a network cable (usually black). You can plug that into the front of the switch then access it (see the quick guide on exactly how), we use console cables usually. Otherwise jsut reset the switch, isn't there a pin push button on the front of them?

I don't have any 1920 but we do have 2920, couldn't you just use the console cable and login to it, as you can physically access the switch. Then you could set the IP there (or atleast check what it is).

I assume that the physical computers stay on, but the Virtual machines on them are rebooted. It definitely isn't consistantly on two hosts, because the actual Virtual machines ofcourse could be on different hosts each reboot (especially if they try to failover) which would make the reboots appear totally incosistant while still being consistant. If the physical hosts say that clustering has failed, it implies that the hosts themselves are falling from the cluster, then re-entering it (because I assume you don't notice them dropping out, only that the VMs are rebooting). If the hosts are physically rebooting then I would firstly run the failvoer cluster validation just to double check the software configuration. Is there any messages in Failover Manager saying the host was removed from the cluster for example? Then I would look at the possibility of it being a network drop (since power is fine), there is a limit on a dropped connection to one of the HyperV network because the host is "offline" when its actually online, it might jsut be by the time you arrive at the problem the network is back again. Do all the hosts have mutliple channels to the Storage Server?

We have 4 Multipoint Servers here that are fully up to date and no issues. Did you change anything before the GPO stopped applying, such as new machines put into the network etc?

Are you using GPP for your proxy settings? If it doesn't pick them up is there any proxy setting sin there at all or just blank?

My other half has one, and has done for ages. At first she thought it was great and made a massive difference, and I think it might have helped a little. However now, she still doesn't get up in time, but that probably isn't te clocks fault. Personally, it wakes me up early if i'm facing it, but probably because the brightness setting are set to high for me. But I do like waking up in a room that is lit up a bit (we have blackout curtains), makes it much easier to see where your going etc

Put a html page on the webserver, call it test.html and make it say hello world or similar. Then go to the webpage mrbs.mycompany.com/test.html Assuming it loads proeprly then this proves that your webserver is working fine and giving pages, so the problem is with your installation of mrbs and nothing else.

If thats the case then put the both the loopback processing and the proxy settings within one policy, linked to the Terminal Services OU and enforce it. If it doesn't work then gpresult or rsop it and find out which has applied (or hasn't). Also dobule check that the Terminal Services profile hasn't got proxy settings in because they can cause problems. Personally I would move to something like Kerberos (Terminal Services Compatibility Mode), it also works with iMacs. As that definitely works on Terminal Services, Windows Clients and iMacs and will only mean you have 1 policy to maintain.

You should have the proxy setting for the users and the the user loopback processing (on Merge) in the same GPO. You are applying a user settings to an OU that contains only computers (not users), therefore you need the GPOs in there to have loopback on. You can also set them to enforced should you wish, to make sure it has priority. However, I assume this is related to your other question to Smoothwall about authenication methods, which would be why you are wanting two different proxies, one affecting users generally and one on just these machines. You shouldn't need to have two different types of authenication, and as such you shouldn't need a different proxy

It won't make a difference as such, but it should mean if you check the properties of the folders, you will see that the owner and owener group are now www-data and not anything else. If www-data doesn't own or the group its in can't write to the folders then that could be the problem. The next change, again not fully sure with Ubuntu, but SELinux in 14.04 and not in 12.04? As this cna stop files being saved especially in the /var/ folder, you can change it to be permissive or even off to allow you to test if this is blocking it. Do you get no errors at all when you try to upload things through Moodle?

try changing the owner to www-data first, best to get the permissions correct and work from there. We have a CentOS server here, so its slightly different to Ubuntu with some things. chown -R www-data:www-data /YOURMOODLEDATADIRECTORY/ I think thats correct for Ubuntu. Then redo the permissions as shown above because they need to be corrected anyway. Then test it, if that doesn't work then it could be a number of other factors.

Who "owns" the /var/moodledata folder? Have you tried simply uploading a file to the same course you have the issue on, it will help check the permissions.

Make sure the owner is set as apache, I think its apache in Ubuntu too: chown -R apache:apache /YOURMOODLEDATADIRECTORY/ Then set the permissions: find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; Should set the permissions on the folder to be correct.

Sounds like a write permissions on the server itself, with 1.9 I think they still appear within the Moodledata folder then the course ID number etc. I woild start looking there. The database entry will be fine, but the document won't exist I suspect.

WDS works fine on Server 2012, well it does for me. I didn't do anything different to a normal installation though. I take it you get to choose either capture or deploy image, and it fails while loading that? Have you tried re-creating the boot image

As much as I hate the credit system and not being told about it more, I do agree it is the principle of paying yearly maintenance, paying yearly support but then beign given a limit to that support. I do wonder what people ring up for support with sometimes, as I have used 1 credit in 16 months. So I have 44 left for the next 22 months. So really I get to many credits, I don't actually know how I would use so many, assuming the installation wasn't new and wasn't all used up then.

We have Cunninghams, support at this time of year is atrocious as expected. We have had reval machines up and down everyday since start of the term, so only 4 days. Finally got an engineer visit yesterday to sort it out and another mess up by Cunninghams over the summer which meant 700 items in our menu were wrongly priced! If your reval machines aren't working make sure your call is escalated to be an emergency callout, as students unable to put money non means they might not be able to buy food or atleast feel they can't because it is awkward and embaressing. I don't mind cashless catering so much, but relying on parents putting money on online is impossible to as most providers want the UPN numbers to create online accounts and you don't have all the UPN numbers yet, we have about 10-15% missing still as we haven't been sent the CTF files or the DFE hasn't issued a number to the pupil yet (or hasn't let us have it). That is ignoring the other problem of not all our parents have Internet at home, laptops or computers etc, yes they may have SMart Phones but I suspect most online payments websites are designed for phones.

If you can't even get to the basic page before the login then there is an issue with the website itself, either permissions on the folder or something in your apache setup.

If your in Manchester, then most Grammar schools in Trafford (I say msot there is a could of private) are all state Grammar schools. Virtually every other school across Manchester that is a grammar school is privately funded. So it would depend where in Manchester you are, depending on what type of the two schools you get, and then obviously each school has its own quirks etc.

I think you just need the drive letter as a parameter (been a while). You need to setup dedupe on the volume first like normal that that command should start it off. It hammers the processers and RAm etc unless you use parameters to limit it.

Use Powershell and the Start-DedupJob command. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848450.aspx
