Hi all, We have a vacancy for a Schools ICT Tech. Most of the details are available at the link below. Poignant facts - Great Barr, Birmingham Fulltime role (36.5 hours) but only term-time circa 13 weeks holiday Everything else is covered in the ad. https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/directory_record/325435/ict_technician_-_greenholm_primary_school

Is it possible to confirm this? We've had the UAG letter recently and can't see how Schools with external ISP's are accessing CRISP. BGFL have always restricted those sites to their core network/IP range.

G'Morning guys & gals. Not entirely sure where this should go, so apologies if I have got this wrong. I'm fielding for some supplier recommendations. Off the back of having some extension works done, we're looking at changing our main Cab and having a partition wall around it, and creating a "server room" for it. Im struggling to source companies that are willing to take the full job on, new underground fiber runs, unpatch/repatch, aircon fitted, stud wall constructed etc etc. Can anybody put me in touch with somebody in the Midlands area that can do a decent job?

ok, will do. Until monday, then. Thank you.

Hi, its always good to hear impartial praise. Do you mind if I ask what you provisioned for your LEA data extract?

Do you source a solution in the end? What was the outcome?

How does that work? Do I have to pay them for their time to remote in?

Sorry to wade in here unannounced and revive a dead thread. We're looking to change our ISP and move away from BGFL, I have been in touch with a few of the bigger schools replacement ISP (most are on here) and I am struggling to get any solid answers on what the process is for sorting Groupcall, Cenus, SchoolsHr, Crisp extract etc etc. If somebody who has been through this (and remembers or has notes on it), I'd love any info I can on this. Thanks for any help.

*inserts my 2p* If everything GB are writing is accessible through a FOI request, then that means they have to surrender their personal email accounts for data trawling surely? Im pretty sure if gov knew this they would quickly start using official school supplied accounts.....

Some copy pasta

Spiceworks has a network map, but Nagvis would be the best imo. Screenshots - NagVis.org

What a brilliant place to start. Creating documents from a clean installation! Disaster Recovery policy? backup policy? I personally like to make a handbook/guide. I print out server specs, switch configs, a copy of the admin passwords, type up all the shares/dfs locations, keep a copy of policies with it, put a floor layout in it, with all the network diagrams in - and then its locked away.

everybody else has been to busy to talk. I left a message with Millgate and waiting on a callback from Novatech. But Oz has gone away and working on it already. Good stuff. The Chair of govornors is in school, and i can finally say things are moving again! Happy days.

thanks guys. I hit a wall with Millgate, but i'll give Novatech a buzz and see what they can do.

Hi, We're looking at setting up our school with a EES agreement to replace the Ad-Hoc licenses. Our usual software channel ServiceBirmingham - seem to be presenting me with more problems than answers. Has anybody got any experience with a Microsoft licensing partner that they have favourable experience with? Any contacts, names, numbers welcomed. Cheers guys.

Yeah, we have a script that creates a small text file with the name and machine of who's logged on, and if you try again it logs you out (im pretty sure it came from Edugeek) you can use it to check who's logged on by looking at the share. Logon script: rem check for the logon file to exist IF EXIST \\curricsvr2\logs$\logonchecker\%username%*.log \\curricsvr2\netlogon\scripts\vbmessage.cmd rem create a log file of usage by username echo %computername% >> \\curricsvr2\logs$\logonchecker\%username%-%computername%.log VB Message @call \\curricsvr2\netlogon\scripts\vb-logoff-popup.vbs sleep 3 logoff.exe VB-logoff-pop.vbs Const TIMEOUT = 60 Const POPUP_TITLE = "Multiple Logins Detected" Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Popup "PLEASE READ This user account is logged on elsewhere. Please logout that machine before starting a new user session. Machine will logoff in 60 seconds.", _ TIMEOUT,POPUP_TITLE,vbExclamation+vbOKOnly+vbSystemModal Logoncheckclear rem file check clear del \\curricsvr2\logs$\logonchecker\%username%-%computername%.log

no worries. ok, well for thread completeness im going to answer my own question. ChromeHistoryView - View the browsing history of Chrome Web browser in a logout script: chromehistoryview.exe /shtml \\server\share\%username%.html /usevisittimefilter 1 /visittimefilter 1 /sort "visited on"

Its here its definitely geared MORE towards bandwidth control. http://www.papercut.com/products/ng/netcontrol/

Holy Thread revival Batman! Sorry to revive an old thread. I have this script running and it works like a gem, never needed to use it in anger yet. We now have had the question asked about what is done as regards Office staff using Google Chrome. Does anybody know of a way to modify this script to grab Chrome History, or maybe another way keep that info. Whether a plugin/script/extension. Thoughts? thanks guys.

Sorry for the double post. dont seem to be able to delete or edit posts on this site O.o sorted it. thanks for the help steve21. added wildcard to the file check, and added machine name to file creation and deletion. So it checks if the user is logged on to any machine but only deletes it if its the one with the right computer name. @logon rem check for the logon file to exist IF EXIST \\curricsvr2\logs$\logonchecker\%username%*.log \\curricsvr2\netlogon\scripts\vbmessage.cmd rem create a log file of usage by username echo %computername% >> \\curricsvr2\logs$\logonchecker\%username%-%computername%.log @logoff rem file check clear del \\curricsvr2\logs$\logonchecker\%username%-%computername%.log @echo MSGBOX "You are already logged on. Please log off that machine before starting a new session." > %temp%\TEMPmessage.vbs @call %temp%\TEMPmessage.vbs @Del %temp%\TEMPmessage.vbs /f /q sleep 3 logoff.exe note: vbmessage could just be replaced with any command, ie - shutdown.exe

steve21, any pointers for setting the script to check log file contents?

thanks for the reply, though i'm not entirely sure how that works.
