It a command line utility, it does not have a graphical interface. If you open up command prompt or powershell CommandReporter.exe /? this will display the help information. You need to create the report in sims like you normally do and then call it from commandreporter. Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any more help.

Papercut is great! We have only had it since september but it is fantastic and incredibly powerful. What exactly are you wanting to do in bulk? Give them an initial ballance? Top up their balance (Every time or to a set limit)? Or something else?

POP stands for:"Pearson onscreen Platform". We do not do Functional Skills test, so am unable to comment. When I was initially look for documentation on the POP, I kept on coming across Promissor.

From having a quick look at both. I would say that sisra is loads better and can analyse a lot more data. I think you have to manually upload data to sisra via CSV.

uk2.net are GOOD and cheap.

Where abouts in the country are you?

Kerboodle as far as I am aware does not integrate with AD. You upload all your user via csv, kerboodle generates the username and password from the firstname and surname. When I initially set this up for the science department, I did ask kerboodle if there was a way that I can set the username, so that they match our internal username format but I was told this was not possible. The groupings are done backwards as well, they organise them class then form. I don't think there is an easy way to create different groups for different departments.

There is a fee version. It has been a while since I have used it, so can't remember if you need to pay for this feature.

Media monkey can do it.

You need to set a dhcp helper on your switches pointing to your dhcp server. Dhcp will issue a IP from the correct scope based on the originating vlan subnet.

Like @AlexisK has already stated authentication will still be possibly. Again you are counting on the wan working. I would personal recommend creating a DC at each site for some resiliency.

Php is a server side application. You have to use a webserver with php installed to phrase it. Xampp is a great local webserver that you can use as a test base, that has php included.

Have a look at CSVDE. Export the data from sims and manipulate it in Excel and output to csv.

Set them as LACP trunks.

Wow! Will just have to wait and see if they release it over here.

You don't need to have an account in AD for every email address. You can still have account that purely stored in o365 and can still create them just in o365.

Hi, You'll have issues with mailboxes been deleted, if you have to user accounts setup with the same email in AD, this is occurred with us when we brought our admin domain as part of a curriculum domain in the summer. It matches accounts up based on the UPN. Benjie

Homeplugs are probably the best option. Another option, if you have a spare wireless router around you could flash it with custom firmware, such as openwrt. You could set this up as a wireless bridge, connecting your NAS and PC to that.

Can't you just add A record to your DNS server for your external web server?

There may be multiple websites hosted on the same public IP address. Thus when going to the IP you don't receive the website because it doesn't know which one to serve. You can test it by adding your domain to your hosts file with the public IP. You should be able to set your domain to point to the public IP in your 1&1 control panel.

I would just put the records in just to be on the safe side.

Hi, If you open you DNS management console, right click on "Forward Lookup Zones", select "New Zone". Follow the wizard creating a zone called myschool.org.uk. Then create a new A record call learning under the new zone and map it to 192.168.1.80. Hope this helps.

I don't know if he is a genius or simply mad. Lol

When I went in for a day op, a couple of years ago. The hospital didn't like the idea of someone waiting around in the hospital and said that they would ring to notify them I was out of surgery. You will need someone to drive for you.
