FYI, the entire BCM range is going away as Nortel was bought by Avaya, they agreed to support them for a set period of time and its now time up nearly on the last version of the software. There is a migration package to move you to an Avaya platform but you should speak to your reseller.

Citrix Netscaler maybe? I know @Ric_ is raving about how amazing they are and how they make good TMG replacements.

Ive used slotted trunking (designed for control boards etc...) as well as having all power sockets mounted below the benching and used the screw on cable tie bases and then strong ties in them which have all worked well for us.

Cough Cough... Please remember salary discussions are not for Job threads please (even ones people found and just sharing to be helpful)

I have done what Elsie has said (but not for a dishwasher our staff were not capable of operating that....) or find a PDF of the original manual which is usually full of exact replicas of the screens and just take snips of them

Or move over to Citrix XenServer which is also free and the latest version is very nice and has plenty of shiny toys in it and a number of geeks use it, I know @bossman uses it and likes it

Bulb tanks can assist or your local electrical wholesaler, I know for a fact CEF will take 1 box of tubes back for 1 box bought and I believe Oldfield have a similar setup, you maybe able to pay them to assist with the other pile of bulbs.

A way we did it was a sheet of lighting gel from Drama that also worked well and was cheaper and a quick solution when you have an emergency situation of not enough filters / software not working etc...

To see @Domino enjoy dinner ensure that someone orders a Hawaiian pizza and a Mushroom Pizza Only @Ric_ could manage in London to find food that @Domino will not eat

Depends what type of SBS license it was you got retail and OEM and Volume ones of them so which is it would determine that questions answer. If its Volume or Retail then that sounds fine to me assuming its still installed in just one spot your good to go. SBS is a complex beast with other Server OS's as its a one box solution so isn't happy in some situations with other servers joined to it and you then have a time frame to remove SBS etc... so well worth reading up on it first.

Refurbished HP LaserJet 4200s from ICT Direct, bullet proof bits of kit, cheap compat toner that last forever and they are robust unlike most modern units that fall apart easily.

Also remember to print out in-advance or that is £10 or so fee (maybe that was €10) but I noticed that when I flew with them the other month. Also if your going to Latvia with them you have to pay to get OUT of Lativa as they refused to include the fee's in the ticket price so they have a check in desk and then a special payments window to pay a small fee to leave the country. Ryanair don't tellyou that in advance so first I knew of this fee was when I landed and saw a poster and was hmmm I'll sort when I fly back.

Didn't use it with the copiers but did with MLS in the Library, it worked but tbh unless your on self-issue or always have loads of people to sort out it wasn't worth the money. I saw them using it with Toshiba kit at BETT the other year and it looked nice and simple and always been pleased with them myself when I had to deal with the system and people so I hope it has carried on like that since I left.

Yep its horrid I have an X1 Carbon at my disposal and its forever jumping, it has no brains for when typing I clip it and make a mess of the document I am working on etc.... its a horrid thing as a result I have no desire to use one if that is how Lenovo are going across the board.

@Domino 's suggestion is the easiest with 0 downtime, or if you could wangle some downtime you can move the partitions around in something like gpartedit (warning ensure you have backups etc... as the world may end) but that way you can slide them all around and make the free space in the middle but if it goes mammaries skywards you will have to re-build it from scratch.

Have you tried changing the vivo one to a temp one and then back to the original to test that vivo haven't got munged data?

Soooo much shiny! I'm sure Mrs @Dos_Box will thank you for more gadgets

I use Avast Pro on all my own kit got a nice bundle license a few years ago and its great and hasn't been any trouble at all.

Is it small print about what you can use it for EG the student version cannot be used for commercial gain, only used for teaching purposes etc... that kind of limitation? Also are you not able to use Office 2013 to edit the PDF or another office suite as a few will open and edit PDFs

Been a couple of times and well worth it Went once with @Dos_Box and was good fun and then went with a mate who is into cosplay and he went dressed as something or other lol and that was a good time as well Shame I'm in London now as I'd love to go and the venue at Blackpool was so handy for me Although parking at the hotel was comedy after having to move my car twice in the 2nd time I went despite parking where told.

Fixed SPP without the killer NIC firmware and the Heartbleed bug fixes on the management tools is available - HP® Servers - Service Pack for ProLiant

I blame Pixies that or @Ric_ but given myself and him have upgraded the F/W on many HPs we have been very lucky none have died so far.....

Our LA provided Smartwater for us to use, however worth reading small print on warranty's as you apply that stuff (or Selectamark or other permanent markings it invalidates On-Site swap out warranty's and they become return to base ones, when you think about it that makes sense if you etch your name into it and it breaks, they swap it with a fixed one, take yours and fix it and give it to someone else to use, but when that one dies but they cannot do that as it says its yours....

I have 7 Pro on mine but it has 2GB ram and its crawling now a days (it also has an SSD!), we had some at the school and put 7 enterprise on them and once they had word and IE open they were unusable really

Wisesoft AD Users did me and / or Powershell
