Hi all a quick question for you. This summer we are upgrading are current CMIS and eportal server from a windows 2000 server and SQL-Server 2000 box to a new Windows 2003 server and SQL-Sever 2005 box. I would just like to ask anyone that has done this before how they did it, eg export database from sql 2000 and import into 2005.. and any problems they found in the upgrade. Thanks in advance. Dave.

At present we run two domains, one for teachers and pupils and one for admin staff. But this summer we are switching to just one domain for all staff and also dropping viglen classlink which we have been using for the last five years and going for a vanilla 2003 network.

As we are upgrading this summer from a server 2000 and classlink network to a new mostly vanilla server 2003 network with Netsupport schools or Manager installed, how easy is it for teachers to reset pupil passwords from there workstations? Is this something that server 2003 lets them do easily or can Netsupport do this? Dave.

When I said full infrastructure upgrade what I meant was we are moving from are current viglen 2000 network to a whole new system, including the purchase of up to seven new servers running server 2003, all system software upgrade eg Exchange 2000 to 2003, sql 2000 to 2003.. ect. Having a ISA setup to manage internet access. The inclusion of a VLE. New software to manage users, printers, backups ect. So we are basically looking at a whole new network build. Some of the software mentioned to be included in the new build are Print manager plus Microsoft learning gateway Inteliguard Smartscreen Netsupport schools I have had a look around and they all seem to do the job that a school would ask of them, who do people find these to work thathave them in use within there schools.

Hi All, We are looking at a full infrastructure upgrade at present over the next summer and companies we are looking at include Ramesys and Ergo. Has anyone used these before for full system solutions and what have you found them to be like? Dave.

Hi we are using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and microsoft word 2007. I thought buggy conversion tool to but happens on 2 pc's when both have been fine in the past.

Hi all. Just found a problem I have never seen before and wondering if anyone has any experience of it. I am creating pdf files with e-mail links in them but if i put a link in say as [email protected] but when I convert the document to pdf then click the link it changes the mailto to say [email protected] It dose this for all email links, missing of the start of the address. Any one got any ideas as I can not see why this could be happening. Thanks Dave.

Hi There, I have been managing a classlink 2000 network for the last 3 years and think we had a similar problem a while back with staff, from what I can remember it was a solved by changing permissions for staff to the roaming profile. To answer your other question you can find all the roaming folders and shortcuts here normaly… \\(Your Domain Name).LOCAL\sysvol\(Your Domain Name).local\Common Folders\ Hope this helps a bit. Dave.
