Anyone seen this, used it or tried it?

Found this the other day but not had time to play yet: https://office365drivemap.codeplex.com/ Anyone had a look at this?

My understanding was that hp "stacking" was for Management only, I used to do this but don't bother now, similar question on hp site but for 2910. http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Switches-Hubs-Modems-Legacy-ITRC/stacking-2-HP-Procurve-2910al-switches/td-p/4792177#.U779Sdq9KK0

Have had new ranges assigned by lea's at a few schools. As long as you document and plan it's not such a hassle, I would ask them. I wouldn't want to rig something up to work around it myself, not if I can just move to a bigger range.

You may want to look into the following: admin - sp admin - user profiles - Manage User profiles Manage User permissions Profiles allows you to hide some settings, we have whittled down what information can be on a profile. Permissions allows you to customise who can see/do what - funnily enough... Not necessarily specific to your needs, but This may help you achieve some restrictions I that area.

no one has ever complained about it causing confusion tbh.

True, but I have have found lots of training can still lead to massive underuse of transformative technology

Some things i would be thinking are: Do you mean huge as in cash huge, if so how are you going to protect yourself and your hard work from getting handed over to the school while you get sent back to your day job? Who actually owns your code? If your doing this for your school, in school time, and getting paid for it then it all belongs to them no? How well documented/upgradeable etc will it be? Are you always planning to be there to keep it running and fix it, how are you going to manage at alongside your normal duties? Again, if it's huge as in cash huge, do you need to think about putting some protection on your ideas so you are acknowledged, intellectual copyright etc?

Oh, our actual tills are embedded so not doing Anything we with them. Just looking at the office machine.

Had a cost of 250 quid - essentially a one day engineer fee - from cunninghams to migrate canteen office machine to new hardware and windows 7, this was unofficial via email convo with cunninghams rep. Would be good to know I'm not getting the paddy pants down treatment if anyone else has any price info. The kit was purchased through our lea who will not be upgrading any machines as "there is no features benefit to moving to windows 7".

Oh yeah, sorry was thinking of the old live@edu password sync I had to remove. (cough) bedtime... (Cough)

Just to add, Using the latest dirsync and password sync doesn't require you to wait for the cycle for password to change, the password sync is a separate process you install to dc servers, and password changes are synced "instantly".

Sorry to bring this up again.... but yes that is how ling it has taken me do get my head around Powershell :$ I have a working script, a bit of both of those combined - thank you. I have a server that runs azure ad sync and If I manually, aka right click and run as administrator - the script runs and does what's required changing a test account to the correct licensing choices, super duper. So I have setup scheduled task to run this, I sued this guide: How to schedule a Powershell script using Scheduled tasks in Windows Server 2008 R2 | MicrosoftPro.nl However It appears that the schedule - set to run every hour, doesn't "kick in", but if I manually run the task, it does run BUT doesn't appear to actually run the PowerShell script, nothing much in event logs to go on from where I am looking, but scheduled tasks reports its fine and dandy and did start PowerShell, I have set the schedule to run as a domain admin, and its the same account I use when manually running the script. Just hoping someone may take pity on a poor old GUI tick box checker like me and get me over this final hurdle!

Thanks, Re price - yes, didn't really think about it tbh. That's an interesting article, I had not seen it set out like that where there is not a further level of hyper v nodes above the sofs nodes and with hyperv enabled on the sofs themselves. Would be interested I looking at building something like that to try this out, sofs/storage spaces does look fun, but didn't see much in the way of low cost boxes when I first looked on the list of supported kit for this kind of setup, I think the jbod in the article was the only on on it
