Hi Nick, Thanks everyone for your advice. I am not sure why the server wouldn't smart client I have rebuilt in and manually added it to the domain now. Cheers, Andy

I have added the server to the domain in the normal way and it shows in AD, what I need is the server to show in the RM management console. As the server will be the print server I will need the server in the management console so I can deploy it's printers. Cheers, Andy

Hi Chris I just read your post about adding 2008 R2 servers to CC4 as members servers, how have you done this? Did you smart client them, I have tried to smart client the server but the smart client process failed, is there any steps I need to do to get a server to smart client? We currently have CC4 running on a 2003 first server and a 2008 R2 secondary server with a 2008 R2 CC4 Anywhere server, I want an additional members severs to act as our print sever so I can run Paper Cut MF. Cheers, Andy

Hi All We use Tucasi's Schools Cash Office, it is a great product. I am in a school in Portsmouth and I set it up when I started here prior to that I supported 3 Hampshire schools and used it there. Tucasi Home It is a great product it's a total EPOS style back office system that deals with all income in schools, they also have an Internet banking module. The advantage of this system is that the admin team sell uniform or process trips or dinners for the pupils in school, then the parents can log in and settle their account over the internet. It can be used to manage lettings as well they have a lettings module. Haha sorry I sound like a Tucasi salesman, I'm not I just think it's a great product and all the office staff say it's revolutionised the handling of our Income at school and has saved so much time. The other advantages are the costs it's about half the cost of the others out there, the Credit Card Charge is 1.5% +10p and Debit Cards are 29.5p. The annual service and maintenance charge it £585 for secondary of £360 for primary. I think if you already have Tucasi it's £227 to add the internet payments module. I know a lot of Authorities have set up links to their finance systems, Hampshire County has done it. So the internet Payments module, updates directly to the counties SAP system as well as the school own Back office system. This is a huge time saver as the transactions don’t need to be entered in twice. I hope this helps, cheers, Andy

Thanks @nickbro and @sisterannex I have looked at the IIS settings and they look right, I changed that entry in the web.config file. Sadly it still is not working :-(

Hi Mark I have just tried that and it still does not allow me to log in, it is a strange one as if I enter a fake account it just keeps up the log in box. So it must be authenticating with AD, I am stumped :-(

Hi All Sorry I am still having trouble with trying to get HEP to work on our RM CC4 install I have installed it on our Anywhere Server, @sister_annex says it is a bind error. I watch the install and config videos last night as I can't access them in school, it looks all right; however the Videos are for version 4 not the latest. Bellow is the web.config file, I am not sure what is going on. The AD OU structure is as Establishments>COU>(System Administrators/Teaching Staff/Non-Teaching Staff). I hope someone can point me in the right direction please. Many thanks, Andy Web.txt

Yes I was thinking this as it is only £480.00, and the project ties into a class room refurbishment project with a full redec and re-wire; so timings are of the up most importance. Cheers, Andy

Hi all, In the summer we are due to have 8 Promethean Active boards with Projectors etc fitted, I have got three quotes for the work and I was impressed with a smaller company who happened to be the cheapest Pro-ology a Poole based company. Has anybody used them before? The other companies were AVM Matrix (which we have used before) and Millennium Business System based in Berkshire. Pro-ology have come in £60.00 cheaper per room than the other two and apparently have their own install team. So what I am asking has anyone else used Pro-ology and would you recommend them? Many thanks, Andy

Cheers, Mark I am just in the process of having a play with it. Thanks, Andy

Ah Cheers Mark Out of interest it says to download the MSI but from that site the download is a Zip and is not a windows installer?!? Andy

Hi, I have been doing some investigation in to porducts like this to install on our RM CC4 network, I am really impressed with this and can't wait to get my teath in to it. However I am being a complete idiot, how do I install it is there any instructions? Does it go on the the RM FRDC or a vanilla server within the domain? Cheers, Andy
