Holy necropost, Batman! I have one of these Ergo B25M units in front of me. Did you ever get the PXE or boot ISO etc sourced please @elliottmarter ?

Good Morning world! To update this thread as I have the need for Adobe Air Installation via GPO there is still no nice happy easy user-friendly MSI available. Current note on Ad's website reads However, as per Sonofsanta's post above downloading the 10mb Installer and extracting it with 7zip creates a folder structure with an MSI in you can deploy using GPO. As of right now the current version shows in my GPO policy as 23.0. Please Adobe, make it simpler! Or at least give us a decent reason as to why you're not. Unless you're planning on retiring Air that is? I hope this helps others, Canaan

Here here and with the hardware / DR failure comment from Twin--turbo. This has knocked out hundreds of schools with no notice. I too wonder if this infokube they've "come to an arrangement with" happens to be IK after an insolvency & tax blag. If any of them had an Ofsted they'd be really hit by that its terrible form. I guess the conversation maybe went like this: IKit guy: "Well, mullered the server and we can't afford to buy a new one sooooo we're declaring insolvency to bail out" InfoKube guy: "Oh look a server, we'll buy this from you for a quid" IKit guy: "Sounds good, got any jobs going?" "Info~: "Sure, just cross out Internet Kit and write InfoKube on your name badge. Thats I-N-F-O-K , because its "modern and edgy", yeah we're cool like that, K-U..."

Yeah I've used this reg-hack for this reason to stop the year 8 "hackers" poking about. I don't think there's a cleaner way provided by default from M$.

Good Evening! Thanks for the replies. Good point on the user perception factor. I think they're pointing the finger at web based things e.g. Purple Mash, Mathletics and their educational ilk. They've got a new suite of i3 4gb lovelies to replace some archaic RMOnes (1.6Ghz (s/c) 1GB) so that resolved that dire situation though I did jest that "they'd certainly got their value's worth!". It's a mix of Cat 5 and 6 . There is POE to the Unifi APs and its entirely likely theres data running alongside power cables because that's where the wall holes have already been drilled back in the day. As for VLANS I've not done them because they're dark and scarey and I don't know what I'd do with them. I thinkthe Unifi APs are on one but also are on the same IP range - is that possible? #noidea Hiring hardware I didn't know you could do. I've heard of Fluke and their price tags so hiring is the better option at this point if we get that far. Re: ISP usage IIRC I think they have been flatlining at the 8mb mark which isn't hard when you got a class of 30+ (or even just 5+) kids trying to Youtube frogspawn in HD. In closing, thank you all again for the ideas. I'll digest these and knock up a little survey asking when/where/how is slow during school - or something to get a clearer image of what exactly is slow. Thank you and good night!

Good Afternoon Edugeekers! There appears to be an increasing trend in a lot of the clients I maintain reporting "slow networks". On deeper questioning I think its really the schools broadband connection (supposedly 10mb) thats at fault. Almost all of the networks are running with Gigabit switches (there may be the rare 100 speed switch as a n/w extender dotted about), and all are on Win 7, Server2012R2. Wifi on a couple of sites is provided by Ruckus but the majority are powered by Unifi (love it). What I had in mind was to go from room to room with a laptop and running a PING to the DC as well as Google for example as well as running an online Speedtest - but not sure though if that would really help as technically thats between the router and an external server(s). I'd also check the NICs are indeed connecting at 1000mbps from the wall socket as they aught to be. I want to run tests that will prove that the internal network is running at full speed and that it is definitely the broadband thats the fault. What I'd like to ask to ask you is what other software or tools would you have to hand for thorough top-down infrastructure testing. For example is there a more advanced Ping software that can delve deeper into the cabling for example? I look forward to your suggestions and learning some new tools, Many thanks in advance Canaan
