    Man this is a right PITA. So I have to create a new instance name and change all DB paths so they point to the new name?

    Just realised the SIMS migration tool i was sent is actually to 2014 not 2012.

    Just re-opening this thread to check if anyone had migrated SIMS from SQL svr 2008 r2 -> 2012 using the SIMS migration tool successfully? I was sent the tool a while back along with an email from support pretty much saying: 'Here is the migration tool. I haven't tried this myself but apparently it's supposed to be pretty straightforward' Basically my understanding is that SQL 2012 can be installed alongside 2008 and the migration tool will take care of shifting the dbs? Thanks

    Hi just wondering, does anyone have an Airtight wireless network in their school, and if so did anyone suffer getting the guest portal to work properly? + just general feedback on Airtight would be good too. Thanks Max

    Hi All, I was wondering if anyone could recommend an alternative to Treesize Pro that will scan network drives as well as local drives? We did buy a previous version of Treesize, but they now are insisting we buy the latest version which means having to buy a new license. Pretty bad really, so even though I have got money to upgrade, their service has put me completely off buying it. If we've bought a license for a version, why can we not continue to use that version? I get that they no longer support it but if we paid for it..........anyway, I better stop before I start ranting. So if anyone can recommend a decent alternative I'd be v.grateful. Cheers

    I'm desperately trying to hold back incredibly juvenile yet obviously hilarious jokes about touching ones wood when it's quiet but as this is a family friendly forum so I shall resist.

    I managed to fix this by re-installing SCCM and all components entirely. It was a site recovery install and I still had the db so it wasn't too much of an issue, but I just couldn't be bothered to fight with it.

    That just made me die inside a little. Thunderbird and Live Mail both require internet connection in order to work (why wouldn't they?).

    So no-one's doing functional skills in their school?
  12. basicchannel
    Is anyone doing Functional Skills tests this year, and if so, what offline email program are you using? In the old XP days we just used Outlook Express, however apart from Microsoft Outlook I can't think of any free software that would allow you to create a draft email offline and not send it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a lightweight offline email client that doesn't need an account or connection to the internet that isn't Outlook? Thanks

    Hi All, I have an issue with SCCM 2012 after migrating it to a new server. I have set up ADRs for Endpoint and Windows Updates and syncing software updates works fine (no errors in SCCM logs). The only thing is, when I look in the WSUS console, it says '0 updates approved' and there are thousands waiting for approval. I thought the whole point of ADRs was that they were supposed to handle this? The same goes for my Endpoint ADR. I have set up an auto approval rule in WSUS too (not sure if this is wise - I was just desperate). Has anyone got any suggestions? I can post up any logs if required. Thanks and a happy new year to you all.

    Hi, So I've set up offline files on a colleagues laptop which seem to be syncing OK, however when they actually take it offline and try to log in on their domain account it takes forever, and then comes up with an error saying 'failed to load profile' and that network path could not be found; well of course it can't be found because the damn thing is offline!!! So it loads a temp profile and none of my colleagues files or folders are present. Am I missing something fundamental here? I thought once they'd logged in and built a local profile they could then log in when outside the network and have access to their offline files? Is it worth me bothering with offline files anymore? Thanks in advance

    I call bullsh*t on this. For a start it quotes a Daily Star article.

    Hullo Edugeeks, I've got a bit of a weird one with a teacher's laptop. I installed Windows 7 Enterprise however her mapped my documents folder doesn't have the option to make available offline when you right-click it yet other mapped drives (SIMS drive) do. So when you go to My Computer, right click the network drive in which her documents lie and there's no option to make available offline. I'm certain there's no offline file restrictions in GPO and it doesn't work for me either (when I'm logged in as an admin). I thought Windows 7 offline files sync was sposed to be easier than the awful XP one. I have done some research and a lot of people either say the usual 'clear offline files cache' or 'check GPO'. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem with Windows 7 laptops? I'm so glad only about three of our teachers have school laptops. Thanks in advance

    Hi, We have a Ubuntu based webserver and I was wondering if there was any way to set a cron job that publishes an htm file from our SIMS server to a web directory? I'm sure this is possible but then again I'm in a weird mood this morning, so what I'm suggesting could be crazy.

    I would say more constrictive than restrictive.

    Hi ALl, Sorry been away from Edugeek. I'm not too worried at the moment because a restart seems to fix the problem, but I'm not happy with these Optiplex 390s. I'm now getting reoccurring broken trust relationship problems and they're just generally sh*te. I'll check out the SMSTS log and see what I can dig up. Maybe a graphics card issue or something.

    Hi, I've been trying to image a set of Opti 390s and a weird thing happens when the TS has finished. You get to the login screen after which I log in with my network creds, only you just get a white sccm 2012 background and a mouse cursor and nothing else; no start bar or desktop icons or anything. Restarting the computer and logging in again seems to solve the problem but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? I have another restart at the end of the TS but would it be best just to whack in a shutdown -r command? Thanks BC

    The time seems to be about a minute or so slow compared to the DC. We do have a backup DC

    Hi, Driving me up the wall time... For certain domain users (all students, mostly in the same OU although could be a red herring), all our W7 machines are denying logon. They get that lovely error "The User Profile service service failed the login. User profile cannot be loaded". Some background info and stuff I've tried. W7 use folder redirection to redirect AppData folder to one central location (permissions look fine on this. Student group are read only with append data. System is full control). I've tried deleting all local profiles in C:\user and bringing over the default folder from a known good machine. The error I get in event logs is an unspecified error (event 1500) I've looked at previous threads here and also have started using Delprof2 on shutdown scripts. I've also looked here and here. What I don't get is some users are fine and some aren't. I've re-created the bad users and i've even copied known working accounts in AD with still no luck. Has anyone else had this problem and actually managed to fix it? Surely I don't need to re-image the machines? Thanks
  25. basicchannel
    Right people it looks like following advice from @sted it now does what is should do and take notice of the permissions assigned to it. All I can say is the last day or two has been a nightmare, but once again such a simple solution. thanks all.
