You can hide it using some css, #de { display: none; }

DirectEdit was added in v10.2. If you want to disable DirectEdit see http://www.edugeek.net/forums/home-access-plus/142879-myfiles-broken-10-4-update.html#post1224889

Check the hapConfig.xml file has written the link correctly, it should be in the form https://mail.school/owa

Ok, that's a bit odd, I'll have to look into this, it may be that the release is out of date as it works for me. You can try updating the fullcalendar plugin from Download | FullCalendar

Ok, you can download that file from Moment.js | Home

Ok, that 500 error may be what's wrong, it's failing to load something, can you look in the application even log on the server for a reason why that beforehap process is failing, it may tell you why fullcalendar isn't working

Ok, that error just means that you won't be able to use the AD Group/OU builder, you can manually enter the AD details. Check that you are using the full domain name, and an administrator user. No UPN, just username (not admin.domain)

I just my servers auto update by them selves, the only issue I have is with NPS on the PDC, just needs a service restart otherwise the WPA2 Wifi doesn't work, never figured that one out.

Application Event logs on the server

Sorry it was for Whiz Error 503 isn't much use, if you use a browser on the server you should be able to see the actual error, or check the event logs.

You can ignore that error message, IIS can never accurately check permissions through management console. Just remember to set permissions on the folder that HAP+ is in as per the documentation. or run icacls C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Hap /grant "IIS AppPool\HAP":(RX)

It does and it doesn't, with the 64bit rollup I didn't notice a huge change in the number of updates to install (down from 160 to 130)

I have the same issue with CC4, it's due to the amount of updates (I manually manage WSUS so there are 10x the number of updates). I set the default options not to install updates at the end of the build, instead rely on WU to install them during normal operation, I've changed our settings to install updates over lunchtime and then reboot at the end of the school day.

HAP+ doesn't give you remote access to SIMS, you need a remote desktop gateway/server for that, HAP+ just has a link to an RDP file in the home screen, it's not using the old Web Folders it's a custom asp.net website which gives you remote access to files with the same levels of permissions from NTFS. I would see what the price would be for 3 user CALS for remote desktop

You'll need to map the employeeID in AD to the student's UPN in SIMS

Brilliant, I'd recommend removing the default documents which you aren't using.

Yep, that is right.

If you add a mapping with %homedir% it'll read the homedir property from AD.

Add default.aspx as a default document in IIS

You can use Microsoft's Application Request Routing Plugin: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/application-request-routing if you just want to do reverse proxying. See https://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/planning-for-arr/application-request-routing-version-2-overview for more. I use ARR to proxy some requests to other servers while using just one web server (RMMC/Eclipse/etc)

If it times out then that's usually a sign of a network issue (it may just be a small slow down). I had the issue where a report would timeout on one area of my network, but would run fine from my pc (which was connected to the core switch), tracked it down to the PC only running at 100mbps instead of 1gbps, fixed the cable which seems to have fixed the problem.

We had two cycles going on, both 5 years. One refresh happened back in April, with over 120 desktops being replaced and 60 laptops brought, this year it was £50k's worth of kit. The other cycle has the infrastructure (server, switches, and two main ICT suites on it), currently we have 4 servers and 65 desktops on this cycle. We've moved to using a capital loan from county instead of leases. As for the desktops, went for Core i5 desktops from Zoostorm, with the cascaded pcs going to local primary schools, or will be sold off. Core i3 on the laptop front. Admin staff now nearly all have shiny new Core i5 desktops, although some pcs are old Core 2 Duo's, but that accounts for about 10 pcs. The server is the main thing with can slow SIMS down, the pcs do next to nothing. Most of our SIMS work is actually conducted by 4 staff members, the teachers don't all have access to it as we use Go4Schools for Attendance/Reporting/Behaviour

You shouldn't technically need to put Windows 7 onto it 1st, as when it tries to activate it should pick up that you've had a valid version of Windows on it before and activate it. The hardware details are logged with Microsoft when you activate windows.

@gshaw for point 2, go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and download the tool, you can upgrade your PC using that, which gives you the option to keep files/settings etc, basically you can do a clean install using it

Yep that is correct, it uses the same username and password, just has the additional bits added to the end. In my case, I can log on with [email protected], or [email protected], or crick\nick. I have mine installed on our web server for the ADFS stuff, I think I migrated it from the 2nd DC when I was enabling ADFS (switched from DirSync as well)
