Many years ago we ran thick ethernet inside a lift shaft and every time the lift moved out spiked the network traffic it tool a while before it was noticed the data interference coincided with the lift movement.

Did exactly the same. Updated 200 machines. 6 failed. Reapplied the update and managed to recover 5 had to rebuild 1. Mark

We upgraded recently via RM.

We had to update IE on the clients when we upgraded our Moodle.

Just looking as OSTicket at the moment. Seems to do the job. Mark

We run the client direct from the server at login. However over time during the day it can crash requiring a logoff and back on to kick start it again. Any job submitted during the crashed time sits in limbo as it doesn't know who to bill to until the client is restarted.

Does that mean primaries have stopped teaching playing in the sand and collecting milk bottle tops? My favourite subjects.

@swiftysw1 have you tried switching it off and back on again. Sorry Si it had to be said!

Make sure they have time to play.

Same here, two out of twelve machines wouldn't move on from Q4. Paused the exam, shut the machines down and moved them to two new machines and completed the exam fine. All twelve users had problems with the graph plot Q adding an extra line. WJEC say the points are the answer and they will ignore the plots. The biggest problem was the words into boxes questions which were resetting when you moved off the question and back on. Had to revert to paper for just these ones. Not a good day, I felt for the kids. This was our first and only online exam. Shame they had to be guinea pigs. More exams next year, I hope they iron out the glitches before then. I don't think upgrading the software so close to the exam start was a great idea as our geology mocks seemed to go without a hitch. T

Sophos quarantined a load of RM files on our FRDC. Also on our workstations. This knackered about 20% of the withdraw tasks and Phase 1 upgrades.
