Done, done and done

Id also heard the same as @glennda re a new EES style subscription model a la Microsoft - rather than the current buy out and maintenance. Hoping this is true as it will really help schools adopt the products...

Very! It also really didnt like not running https - some weird spurious error popups too "Object not found" for example when creating Rooms/Session on the setup.aspx Booking section. On the booking system note - is there a way of getting the scrollbars to play nicely? We have 4 sessions a day - split into A and B - plus lunch and two breaks. The original one had a horizontal scroll bar - which allowed you to go across the screen within just the booking grid rather than the whole page. And - just because Im awkward...I love the fact that I can now show and hide rooms. Now... can I show them still - but they cant book them...? Thanks for all your hard work Stuart

Bingo...got it. Right - I changed the App Pool to run as the AD Account that I originally set up for HAP. Now it works :-) YAY!

OK, thats all working - but we are back to the "10% AD Loading" bar again grrr! Im at a loss An error occurred in Home Access Plus+ Page: Setup API -> FillNode(DirectoryEntry room) System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x80072020): An operations error occurred. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_Name() at HAP.Web.API.setup.FillNode(DirectoryEntry root) Message: An operations error occurred. Stack Trace: at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_Name() at HAP.Web.API.setup.FillNode(DirectoryEntry root)

HAP is sitting behind TMG in our setup - which is why its not in use... but, to help with the debugging - I'll put a binding in...

TYPE | HOST NAME | PORT | BINDING INO | http 80 * net.tcp 808:* net.pipe * net.msmq localhost msmq.formatname localhost

I removed the following... (well commented it out for safety!) Now getting: WebHost failed to process a request.

Hi Nick Right...so Ive moved onto the new 7.7 build and as per your updates - there is more error handling in there... Now Im seeing "System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException" on the AD Browser with WebHost failed to process a request.

It is indeed an awesome shot. Same again next season @john? Was a great weekender...

Awesome looking menu there :-D

Good spot @DB - #EpicFail.

We went the other way - all staff where bought a new laptop from central funds...all identical. £349 each - Stone i3s with 3GB RAM, 160GB HD, Usual Mod Cons, 4yr onsite, TPM for Bitlocker encyrption

THis will be the timeout on scripts that is being a pain here. You can reduce the default (which is 5 mins) - assuming that you know onsite via your wireless, a logon will complete in that time. The setting is under Computer Config > Admin Templates > System > Scripts > Max wait time

This version doesnt use transforms - the tool on their website faffs with the MSI, creating a new one with the appropriate edits in it AFAIK. Its a very odd error - Ive sent it over to support as well. The only thing I can think is that the Client is already on these machines - but even then, the error doesnt make sense. Ive also tried the -qn direct switch on the MSI via script. Same thing. Its as if there is something wrong with the editted MSI. I cant see what tho.

See post here http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/86299-sims-net-autumn-release-pulled.html from @PhilNeal. SIMS August 2011 has been pulled due to a problem in the Pastoral Structure. The original issue with the Census file set was resolved.

Ive noticed a few peaks and troughs in performance today...but that could easily be my work internet...

Hi All Been a while since I actually put a question in...but here we go.. AB Tutor v6. Got the Client installed fine by using the HTA MSI Editor as per their website, and pushed out by SCCM. Doing the same with the Tutor bit - but getting the following error... Product: AB Tutor Control v6 -- Error 4121. Invalid Firewall process image path, or file not found: . Machines are Window 7 Ent SP1. Nothing special about them really. Vanilla Setup. Stuart

Looks good to me....

Thanks @PhilNeal - always good to get news from the horses mouth!

@Jawloms - please include the SupportNet Article ref when posting

Thats the 2nd issue with the Autumn update now. Its been released once already because of a mistake with the Census stuff. @PhilNeal - whats going on?

Great news Nick. This is what I like to see. Any idea why the DLLs do not like reading my AD structure? Will the change in auth methods here maybe make a difference? Im able to do some testing for you if you need. Running 7.x side by side with the original 6.5 version....

Please see the sticky thread n this forum - the Hints and Tips one. It has all this covered already :-)

Doesnt look like the double hop issue as im seeing A logon was attempted using explicit credentials.
