I'm looking at replacing a whole heap of wifi - did you go direct to Meraki or through a reseller? What do I have to do to them to get a similar offer??

Has anyone set up a FPL Edugeek league this year? I was added automatically last year but they've changed the layout entirely this year so I can't see if that will happen again. There's a page for Renew your Private Leagues but it doesn't appear to work.

No, been difficult to fill the post yet it's a great job for the right candidate.

Make a new zone on your internal dns for vle.schoolname.co.uk. Your internal clients should only use internal dns for resolving, so remove the external dns entries and make the internal dns use the external dns servers as forwarders instead. That way your internal clients will only ever get the VLE address from the internal dns plus you'll improve lookup times as you'll be caching external lookups on your internal dns.

Salary is £36,000 - £38,000 depending on experience.

Has anyone set up this year's league?

Two days left to get those applications in...

*Bump*

If it's gaining 4 minutes then it not synching with the external clock. More likely you have some sort of synching loop in your domain where 1 machine synchs with another then that one synchs with the first. The only time I've seen this is before is when I had a a virtual DC set to synch from the virtual host and vice versa. The miniscule delay between synching and changing the time increases the time difference between the two very very slowly but it builds to minutes over a few months. Check which machines on your network are time servers - I bet you have more than one.

I used to live there - very fine city! You could get yourself a pint of Smiles in The Bell, at the end of Walcot St. While you're at it, would you mind getting me one in, thanks.

Hmm, both good sources of the truth - Wikipedia & Vodafone's own website

I think you might find a lot of bitter people out there. They're bitter that large corps get away with grand theft while they struggle to make ends meet.
