Sounds like your one of the lucky few, others I've spoken to also have similar problems with CC3. To be honest we're too far down the road now to consider staying with them, consider you spend a few grand a year (I think it was 4) on a support contract and one of the disks in your server fails.. ok no biggy just phone up support and get it replaced... WRONG! It took RM 3 WEEKS! to finally sort the server out, first they brought the wrong disks with them (one of their own servers!) attempt two, wrong disks AGAIN!... third time lucky ? NOPE.. the right disks this time but they can't get the data restored, so they give up and book a 'top dog' engineer to come back. Fourth visit... manage to get data restored but in the process of fitting the disks leaves DVD drive in server unplugged. Visit number 5.. to repair the DVD drive they broke.. We have reported numerous issues we see on the network and they very rarely come back with a solution, to be honest the support (for the price we pay) is appauling, so for us the best solution is to move all students to the existing domain and lock them down with group policy etc..

Hmmm where to start... Well its; Slow, Unreliable, Inflexible, expensive.. to name just a few We are currently migrating to a single domain for better managbility and consistency, the use of RM's little applications makes our machine crawl (and they aren't low spec.) For example if I take a look at the package list for a machine I can see; RM AppACLTool RM AppAgent RM AutoExNt RM CD Burning Helper RM Default Logon Settings_1_0 RM Default Profile RM Desktop Agent RM Desktop Components RM Explorer RM Explorer Agent Quiet RM Explorer Schemes RM Font Controller RM Gatekeeper RM IDChecker RM KeepList_1_5 RM Location Chooser RM Location Services RM Logoff RM Logon Provider RM LogSrv RM Offline RM Outlook Profile Setup RM Policy Merger RM Printer Credits Client Service RM Printer Credits Framework RM Printer Wrapper Service RM Privileged User Policy RM Privileged User Service RM Reglock RM Station Manager RM Station Rebuild BuildManager Resources RM Status Reporter RM StnDeliv RM User Help RM Volume Control RM Web Launch RM Work Connector Phew... can you say BLOAT ! All of that junk and half of it doesn't work! The management console decides it won't load on even days of the week and when it does it takes 5 minutes to change a password. Printers dont allocate correctly and some decide they like a user so much they will follow them around the school. I think i've said enough

Ok I've managed to sort this problem out now. For anyone that's interested it was due to Windows Server 2003 having the "Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (always)" policy set to Enabled. As the CC3 network didn't comply with this setting they didn't want to chat to each other - once the Policy is disabled I can browse the other domain without any problems. Well there goes about 10 hours of my life wasted figuring that one out!

If your using Windows Vista then it should be automatically taking backups on your behalf... go to where your Document was saved and right click the folder, select "Restore Previous Versions" then have a browse through the checkpoints... you might get lucky! On a side note i'm using Vista and O-2007, both have been relatively stable for me so f.... (i won't speak too soon!)

Hi all, My first post on the EduGeek forums so firstly hello Now onto the problem we are having... :twisted: We currently have 2x RM DC's running Windows 2000 Server and CC3, in a totally seperate domain we have several DC's running Windows Server 2003. I'm currently in the process of trying to use the Active Directory Migration Tool from MS to migrate users from CC3 to our other domain, but the RM servers dont' want to play ball. I am receiving "access denied" messages when trying to get anything outside of the RM domain, I can however come in from our other domain onto the RM servers.. I'm logged onto one of the CC3 servers with and identical username with and identical password to a user on the other domain, in both domains the user is part of Domain Admins, Local Admins, etc.. Going TO the RM domain from the other one silently lets me into the Admin C$ share on the RM Servers, going OUT of the RM servers to one of the servers on the other domain prompts me with the username / password dialog, but even when trying username & password, domain\username & password, username@domain & password... none of them let me in. :? Each domain has its own DNS with the opposing domain setup as a secondary Forward lookup zone, I can ping sucessfully from all sides to the domain and the servers FQDN. Times on all servers are synced, DCDiag shows good on both domains.. Anyone have any ideas on why this won't work.. do RM tweak any settings to not let me impersonate a user from a different domain ? Any help appreciated before the sledge hammer comes out :twisted:
