Hmm you cant seem to unblock things in the locked categories eg sourceforge download servers! I have put it in the ready made allow policy which I have done with some other sites but this seems to be the way it's set up.

Your not the only one!

Thank you both @Arthur I will take a lot from your structure for function parameters for the future and @morganw thanks for introducing me to splatting!.

I'm just trying to do a simple script wrapper for robocopy but I seen to be running into an issue in the way in which it is interpreting the variable for the arguments. This is the form of the command I want to run robocopy d:\source d:\destination -e -zb So I built the command in the script similar to this: $strSourceFolders = "E:\Test Folders\SourceFolder"; $strDestinationFolders = "E:\Test Folders\DestinationFolder"; $strRobocopyoptions = "-e -zb"; robocopy $strSourceFolders $strDestinationFolders $strRobocopyOptions When this is run it takes the two arguments in the $strRobocopyOptions as one argument eg "-e -zb" and not "-e" and "zb" and therefore produces an error. I have tried adding spaces etc as part of the variable with no luck. $strSourceFolders = "E:\Test Folders\SourceFolder"; $strDestinationFolders = "E:\Test Folders\DestinationFolder"; $strRobocopyoptions = "-e"; robocopy $strSourceFolders $strDestinationFolders $strRobocopyOptions The above works as there is only one extra argument provided. $strSourceFolders = "E:\Test Folders\SourceFolder"; $strDestinationFolders = "E:\Test Folders\DestinationFolder"; $strRobocopyoptions1 = "-e"; $strRobocopyoptions2 = "-zb"; robocopy $strSourceFolders $strDestinationFolders $strRobocopyOptions1 $strRobocopyOptions1 It works in the above format as well. $strSourceFolders = "E:\Test Folders\SourceFolder"; $strDestinationFolders = "E:\Test Folders\DestinationFolder"; robocopy $strSourceFolders $strDestinationFolders "-e -zb" The above works as well but I want to simplify it by having the extra options as one variable as I usually do in VB Script. Can someone point me in the right direction of how to get this interpreted as I desire ? Cheers Chris

We just use SIMS as a remote app so it looks like it's just an app on the machine pretty much.

Have you tried the new service pack ? You never know....

Are you letting it install from WSUS/Windows update or a standalone update ? I have found in the past sometimes the update would not work from WSUS/Windows update but worked with a standalone update.

You may be able to do it by sharing the folders just for this purpose and selecting them (not tried this) otherwise it's usually volume, VM or database level backups

I think you find that to be a fairly common figure for UK schools.

The newer version of Clustering services is supposed to start without AD if necessary; although I haven't tested that scenario.

You want Firewall > Nat > Outbound to set up NAT and to publish your servers you use 1:1 NAT and then allow the ports on the WAN interface of the firewall.

Good to know for next time thanks, unfortunately it doesn't look like you can re-order them when they are in review but I will be ready next time !

We are on our second lot of reports using profiles now and from the first round I assumed that the collation order was in the same order as the comment banks but this time it seems to have put all the pastoral assigned reports at the front (when they are at the back) ! Can anyone shed any light on this for me ? Cheers Chris

You must be in the first phase then.

Should only be on the admin, the details of your date should be on the portal.

Should we have access to some sort of panel at the moment ?

We should probably state primary or secondary as well. We have a local firewall with local ranges and we use one CLEO range as our external range and we are secondary.

With all the lightspeed changes coming up and there still being this model of Curriculum and Admin ranges I thought I would put a poll up to see what people are using as the assumption seems to be that we're all using the old model split networks.

It looks like the lightspeed filtering is active on the admin ranges, it's pretty wide open at the moment so be careful! The curriculum ranges get activated next month apparently.

So basically no different from what we have now (sans NED) ?

I have sub OUs as well under my server OU for different roles which may need different group policies or mostly I use it to target AV exceptions through SCCM with an OU query. You can use group membership for this as well but I prefer using OUs.

You need SCVMM integrated with SCOM for this.

You can get away without it unless you want some dynamic optimisation with SCOM and SCVMM. I do use the templates and such but it's nothing you couldn't do with a Powershell script and a sysprepped VHD.

Show spanning-tree should tell you what they are set to.

Portfast is usually the default on HP.
