  1. Do they meet the minimum spec for XP? RAM?
  2. "If in doubt, ASK!" It will be a period of learning for both of you. "There are no stupid questions, just stupid mistakes." Despite how much you may moan at him/her in the comming months. "If you make a mistake, tell someone about it." Better a slapped wrist for making the mistake, than the sack for giving everyone full control over sensative data! And if the crepe is going to hit the fan, best you know about it sooner rather than later! "Climb the knowledge ladder one step at a time." Which brings us back to the first statement really.
  3. I would imagine its because you would need a profile present, when not connected to the doamin, to successfully log in. Just a guess from the dark!
  4. If you can, then go. Life is so short on opportunities you would be silly to pass the really good ones up. Good luck.
  5. "But 'Miss X', a history teacher from Nottingham, is going to work in a private school in Kenya. She told the conference that after four years in the profession she was earning just £26,000. " Yes Miss X and after many years in racing, certain teams are still at the back of the grid. Is that because they are not as good as the ones in front, per chance?
  6. If your cable comes in a big box (I got mine off a sparky who knew there was little left!), don't forget to write on the box how much you cut off the real each time. I am sure the sparky had crawled along some in-accessible space just to realise he was three metres short, before he started recording the usage!
  7. Having re-read the initial post, I think most have missed the point. This is not FMS being moved to a new server, but a SIMS server (with FMS) being moved to a new domain. In which case the only real problems you will have is the issues surrounding security, me thinks. Re-do the security of your "Capita" area, this is where your data is stored. Re-run SIMSPERM.BAT, found in your SIMS setups folder, on each workstation. s:\sims\setups\simsperm \ Note: - The security group name is one you should have created in AD to allow easy control of users who need access to SIMS stuff, either create it, or replace the group name with each domain user-name. Easy if no-one hot-seats! Add the to the loacl "Power Users" on each workstation.
  8. Stab in the dark...have you checked the DNS records to see if any are out of sync? Had something simular a while back when DHCP had assigned a new IP address and DNS had not caught up.
  9. Daft question, but is your media pre-formatted?
  10. We had all kinds of problems until we changed the scheduled task to include the following command. /um Switch: /um Description: Finds the first available media, formats it, and uses it for the current backup operation. Use the /p switch to designate a device-type media pool when you use the /um switch so that Backup searches for the appropriate type of media, such as 4mm DDS. When you use the /um switch, Backup searches the following media pools for available media: Free pool, Import pool, Unrecognized pool, and Backup pool. When available media is found, the search stops and the media is formatted and then used without prompting you for input. This command is not applicable to tape loaders and you should only use it if you have a standalone tape device. The /UM switch should be at the end of the command line and should not be enclosed in quotes.
  11. It's not something silly like an indexing service by any chance?
  12. Check around the pyramid of schools in your area. I picked up my D-Link WAP for a 'fiver' from a school that had given up on trying to get their wireless network working. There is ALWAYS kit laying around not used, just a case of finding who has it!
  13. Just a little name drop her, I will leave you guys and gals to Google it. Terry Fox. [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Fox]Terry Fox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
  14. Sorry for the delay, on the road this morning. Create a batch file with the following in: - c:\windows\system32\defrag.exe c: -f -v shutdown -s The batch file can be local, but restrict access to it so little people do not play. Schedule the batch file to run, using an administrator's credentials, on the evening in question. The script will defragment the c: the -f forces it to do so even if it is short of space and -v means verbos (no user input required). Once defrag has completed, the PC will shut down. If you decide to test the script, you can cancel the defrag process by pressing +C to cancel the batch task.
  15. defrag c: -f -v We use these settings in a batch file to keep servers in check. No problems in a good few years of use. On he servers, we schedule it to be done at the weekend.
  16. Get the request in writing. Amazing how people get selective memory when the mucky stuff and lawers get involved. If they do loose their job, you can bet someone will be looking for a way to blame others. Don't let them have reason to blame you.
  17. Just a thought. Can you get her to bring the router in and configure it to YOUR home broadband connection to test? Never touched a "Home hub" so not sure how they configure. Once you have sussed how it connects, getting it set-up to her line would be easy to write down for her. And if she does look like Angelina Jolie, just make sure she doesn't kick the holy crepe out of you!
  18. Not now. Did it once and the phone never stopped ringing to ask "How do I?" Anyone wants a surf board rack for their shed welding up, the I'm your man! That was the last "Homer" I did. It's nice to have a hobby outside IT.
  19. Try adding the logon server IP address and fully qualified domain name into %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts It's a "It works for us" tip. As there are no doubt good and bad point to doing it.
  20. Just a stab in the dark. Look through the roaming profile area for the "Recent" folders. Have they left the link in there?
  21. I have enclosed the web link this time. http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/AKOV-699KQK_R0_EN.pdf See page 8 for the diagram.
  22. When you say you have carried out the recommendations on settings, do you mean you have adjusted the sensitivity by pressing the button on the back? Green light bright - high sensitivity. Green light medium - middle Green light dull - low. It should basically reduce the tendency for the UPS to send alerts every time it THINKS it is heading for an over-voltage / under-voltage. Yet will still alert you if it goes over for an extended period. The button is on the back of the case near the top, with its indicator light next to it. Sorry if you have already done that, the next step would be to re-configure to disable messages. You will know soon enough when the server shuts down and you at least know the system well enough to check it daily using the APC console.
  23. Ah! But everyone knows that revenge is a dish best served cold. And those hills are awefull cold at this time of year!
  24. 1. Reverse the order of your experience. People will wnat to know what you have done recently, first. 2. The longer you have been out of school, the less those qualifications become, so just the high-lights if space is tight. 3. You do not "join" on-line forums, you "contribute to informal discussion on-line" 4. "My knowledge base gained by self studying with practice CDs/DVDs, hands-on experience and with the help of online forums. From time to time solving problems that I have never seen before is just fun because I know where to get answers in a “nic” of time." I would re-write that into something like: - Home study complimented by practical experience. 5. "Working with computers all day" is NOT a hobby. People will want to know you can unwind after an hard day at work. Swimming, hill walking, DIY are hobbies. From the look of it, I would say it is too long and too detailed. You just cannot see the wood for the trees. Pick out the high-lights. Two sides of A4, a fair bit of "white space" so the reviewer can make notes and keep it short! Taylor the CV to the post, do NOT apply for a £18k job with a £28k CV. I am not a recruitment consultant, but my CV's have got me jobs, so they can't be THAT bad (plus HM Forces paid good money to teach me how to write one!) Get drafting.
  25. Does the fact that in his letter he claims Lord Myners knew of the amount and of the "discressionary" state of the award, make people think that this is just an "Old boy's pay-off" that 'unfortunately' slipped into the public domain?
