Tribune bought Zentek way back in 2011 - http://www.channelweb.co.uk/crn-uk/news/2113298/tribune-buys-zentek-assets-education-push. I have heard the administration rumour elsewhere but do not have any more information at this time.

In essence it's shared common infrastructure (Active Directory, Exchange, Sharepoint, Lync, more to come); if you're part of a Federation there's no point in re-inventing the wheel at each site - the model still allows for uniqueness and innovation at local sites and positively encourages sharing of best practice across the group.

Conceptually yes, but the Microsoft 'School in a Box' is not a standard 'off the shelf' thing - it's an umbrella term that covers many things. Out of interest, why would this affect your application?

The job hasn't been up for long - they just go through Service Delivery Managers rather quickly.

This is being advertised yet again! ARK Schools Application - Welcome

I would strongly advise against dual-booting unless you have a very specific need to do so - it effectively doubles the number of machines you need to support. If the machines spend most of the time in MacOS, Windows Updates don't get applied; if they spend most of the time in Windows, MacOS X maintenance scripts don't run.

The site is offline - I guess it's an urgent requirement!

99.9999999% of the time Group Policy Loopback is a bad idea, as is using any sort of 'deny' on an ACL.

You also can't sysprep 25 times.

Access based enumeration.

I'm assuming that this is for an Academy, unless that's just random insertion of keywords in the first post!

If your permissions are set correctly on the root no scripts are required. The whole point of folder redirection is that the folders are correctly permissioned when created on first logon.

Durrant. I should also add that despite being a T2S contact I received no notification whatsoever.

SQL, IIS & Apache Tomcat on a DC = not a good idea.
