  1. Technet article as follow up to Diello's post: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998925(EXCHG.65).aspx
  2. maybe take their e-mail away all together? seems like your having to use technology to solve a non-technical problem....
  3. Use this utility to browse your ldap server http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/ and see if you can locate the fields required.
  4. I reckon your best off doing as suggested as anyone way is going to require hacking or extra resource usage. If you must do it on the client side this might help: http://forums.techguy.org/business-applications/614170-how-lock-signature-outloook-2003-a.html Another way would be to use one of these horrific "classroom management" pacakges to close the change signature window as soon as it's open (recognized by window title). Cheers Jona
  5. We integrate here, but we were just told the LDAP string by our network operations team. I found this package useful for working out what is avaliable via ldap: http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/ The context is the location of users in your structure.
  6. Could be the DPI is set to greater than 100%, this does weird things to Sims.net Cheers Jona See: http://www.wordstar.org/computing/pages/monitor_cal.htm http://www.edugeek.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-11891.html
  7. This article might be of intrest to you: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=68579
  8. Hi there, Looking for some kind of meeting scheduler software / website / service. The kind of thing I have in mind is that someone proposes a meeting and invites others who can say if they can make it or not and can propose alternative dates...?? I know Outlook can do something like this but we don't use outlook so can't do that, I guess something e-mail based would be good though. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Cheers Jona
  9. Specs for true 1500 concurrent users are going to be HUGE, your looking at a cluster there with load balancing, etc, etc I think you'll have to scale it back to something more realistic. I do have the following recommendations: A decent server class motherboard Lots of memory (8gb?) A dual core duo CPU Fast Hard drive (SATA with a decent raid 5 card?) - Need to check you get one compatible with Debian. sorry I can't give you any more specific help, our Moodle server is unfortunately windows :-// Cheers Jona
  10. The usual case problem is that the motherboard is shorting on the case metal somewhere. Try loosening the screws slightly and also using those little card o-rings you get (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=47085&&source=14&doy=search) to space the board off of the case. Cheers Jona

    Backup HELP!!!

    I think the approved of backup method for SQL server is to make a SQL backup job that runs before you main backup and dumps to .bak files or similar which can then be backed up as apposed to trying to backup the .mdf or .ldf files as you probably won't be able to get a handle on these as they are constantly in use. Cheers Jona
  12. What happens if you specify a height to the yellow box... It might help if you included the relevant CSS. Could be a box model problem but I thought that was fixed in IE7? Cheers Jona
  13. well batch would be something like del /s drive:\topleveldir\*.tmp probs best to include the /p switch until your sure it's working (prompt before delete for each file).
  14. http://www.jsifaq.com/SF/Tips/Tip.aspx?id=0311 Any good?
  15. Ref: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/xampp.htm Ref: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html They tend to have lots of security holes so aren't recommended for a production environment. You can use them if you have to but It's just not really a great plan, you also gain a lot of useful knowledge installing and configuring the individual components. Cheers Jona
  16. The standard answer seems to be ubuntu server (http://www.ubuntu.com/). Although pretty much any distro will do what you want. Might be worth looking at freeNAS: http://www.freenas.org/ which is a very cut down version of BSD but very easy to setup for hosting samba shares. A couple of similar threads: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/showthread.php?t=14858&highlight=linux+distro http://www.edugeek.net/forums/showthread.php?t=14206&highlight=linux+distro
  17. Hi mate, That is pretty much correct, We're just in the process of moving moodle to a production environment ourselves. Here is my advice: 1) Download and Install mysql from here: http://tinyurl.com/377dh8 for security set a port other than the default and a password. 2) Get apache for here: http://tinyurl.com/32fx7s (the msi and install) 3) Get the php windows zip (not the msi) from here: http://www.php.net/downloads.php 4) extract the .zip to C:\php (or your dir of choice). 5) Link php & apache by adding the following to httpd.conf: Loadfile "C:\php\php5ts.dll" LoadModule php5_module "C:\php\php5apache2_2.dll" PHPIniDir "C:\php" AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .inc AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .class Also change DirectoryIndex index.html to DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html 6) You may need to rename php.ini.dist to php.ini in C:\php That should give you a good start, I'd recommend the following for security: set-up an apache user and group and make apache run under it same for mysql Implement suggestions here: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1706 Install mod_security2 Hope that gives you a start at least.... Cheers Jona
  18. yeh notepad is a bit evil for this kind of thing, I use pspad and it seems to work a lot better - http://www.pspad.com/
  19. Out of interest what editor were you using? I'd say it's probably more related to that than a specific *nix - windows issue. Cheers Jona
  20. Sorry to just give you a link but this page seems to say some useful things about this: http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm There is also an RM knowledge base article about this: http://www.rm.com/Support/TechnicalArticle.asp?cref=TEC134761 Haven't got any experience with this though, sorry :-// Cheers Jona
  21. Usually I would look for silent install options, with answer files or failing all else script it with AutoIT. If you give us more details about the packages in question someone might be able to provide more detailed help. Cheers Jona

    Programmer?

    are you looking to hire someone, or just some help or what?? I spend most of my day coding for a big university moodle install, but have only just started looking at Joomla.... Cheers Jona

    Excel

    Should be possible with VBA.... I can't remember how to do excel VBA stuff it's been a while but pseudo code...... on change_combo1 if (combo1.value="value1") AND (combo2.value="value2") then msgbox "Incorrect values end if
  24. A bit more digging, that number is the same as a foxConn motherboard number: http://www.ciao.co.uk/Foxconn_945G7MA_8EKRS__6276300 You can download drivers for these here: http://www.foxconnchannel.com/en-gb/support/downloads.aspx On-board VGA: http://www.foxconnchannel.com/en-gb/support/downloads_detail.aspx?ID=en-tt0001107 On-board LAN: http://www.foxconnchannel.com/en-gb/support/downloads_detail.aspx?ID=en-tt0000417 System and Chipset: http://www.foxconnchannel.com/en-gb/support/downloads_detail.aspx?ID=en-tt0000273 Usually disclaimer's apply... Cheers Jona
  25. Maybe give this a try : http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html to identify what drivers you need then search for them manually?
