So I can't just have one RAID10 volume using all eight? It's not "intelligent" enough to be able to do that?

It will be a Hyper-V host, hosting file servers, and a couple of other servers which don't require high-speed stuff.

Hi all, I currently have an HP DL360 Gen 9 with 4x 900GB drives in it. I've just purchased 4x 1.2TB drives. Any tips on the best way to RAID? I'd like to RAID10 it, but don't want it to use them all as 900GB drives as that is the lower capacity. Will it realise there are four of each and so create a stripe using 2x 900GB and 2x 1.2TB, then mirror them on to the others? Thank you Stuart

So who watched it? I thought it was pretty good. We didn't see enough from the house robots is about my only criticism.

Nope. I believe the confusion here may be that a licence for a server entitles you to run two VMs on a physcial. You can actually put on as many as you like, so long as you have the grunt behind them and buy more licences.

@JordanT91 - Thank you. They're not cheap are they? We'll take a look though. @meadowgirl - Thank you. We are aware of kit following them about etc, but we need to figure out the best way to use it.

We have a child coming up to our school in September with incredibly poor eyesight. He can see a screen in front of his nose, but has no hope of seeing the board wherever he sits. At his primary school, he had a laptop at his desk which could VNC to the computer connected to the whiteboard. In high school obviously he's going to be moving about so he'll need to connect to more than one screen, and he's not really going to want to carry a laptop around with him all day. We have Impero if that's any use, and a spare iPad. Someone must have this already at their school? Thank you Stuart

Thanks all three of you!

My lock screen showed me the attached picture. What/where is it? Stuart

Unlikely I know, but previous versions?

I bought myself a Canon 1000D a while ago with a Canon EFS18-55mm lens which I have been teaching myself to use. I have been given an old camera bag with a lot of "good stuff in it" but as I am still not that familiar with photography I am after some advice as to what would be good for me to have in my camera bag as I don't really want to be carrying around the lot do I? I have; Canon EFS 55-250mm lens Canon EF 35-70mm lens Canon Compact-Macro Lens EF 50mm Canon Extender EF 2x II (which connects to the camera, but none of the lenses then attach to it) Tamron SP Di AF 90mm 1:2.8 Macro Various metal rings of different thicknesses I also have a a remote shutter release button which I made myself, a tripod, an additional flash and a spare battery. I know what macro lenses are for but which one would I be better using, the Canon or the Tamron and why? What are the metal rings for? What's the extender as I assumed it was a doubler which you put in between the body and a lens, but like I said above, no lenses connect to it? Is there anything else it would be good of me to get? Some filters? I have about £120 available to me. Thank you Stuart

That's along the lines I was thinking. Previously they have just manually done these things one at a time. I am going to sit with them and come up with a better way of doing it for next year. Thank you both.

But how do I get it to look at multiple worksheets in one excel file?

I have a lady who wants to print around 400 certificates. There are three certificates saved as Word documents, Bronze, Silver and Gold, all with a bit of text in the appropriate colour. She has a spreadsheet with multiple worksheets, one for each class. On each sheet is a list of names and then how many awards they got, which then means whether they get a Bronze, Silver or Gold award. Something like the below; Name Bronze Silver Gold Johnny Briggs 21 Joe Bloggs 33 Clint Eastwood 44 So as you can see, the number of awards they have got is in the column representing their certificate colour. She has all the data, but I can't see a way to mailmerge it. Am I right? Thank you Stuart

Crossing fingers, touching wood, and not counting all my chickens, this seems to be fixed. I did this; On local DC: ldifde -f dump.txt Search for the user in dump.txt, look at the ObjectGUID Load up Windows Azure AD Module for Powershell Connect-MSOLService Get-MSOLUser -UserPrincipalName [email][email protected][/email] | fl UserPrincipalName, ImmutableID Notice that the ImmutableID on Office 365 does not match the ObjectGUID we see in on premise AD Run "Set-MSOLUser -UserPrincipalName [email][email protected][/email] -ImmutableID (Insert ID from ldifde ObjectGUID)" Run Sync - done! Which I found here.

I have now resolved the issues that IDFix was highlighting, and run the troubleshooter tool and have got no further. The log file generated in the C:\Office365Logs file lists no problems, but I am still getting the same email every half an hour. Has anyone got any more thoughts please? Thank you Stuart

I have used @Net-Ctrl in different locations and can't recommend them highly enough. They are brilliant.

Which troubleshooter? The only one I can find is IDFix, and that doesn't list a problem with my account, or output to the c:\Office365Logs folder. Curiously though, it does list other issues.

Thanks, I'd just realised I'd put the wrong thing. I am using Azure AD Connect.

Hi all, I had Azure AD sync working for ages, then it suddenly stopped working. I couldn't get it working again so I just uninstalled it and started again. Now it's working again I get an email every half an hour; Hello , You can troubleshoot this issue by running the Directory Synchronization troubleshooter on the server that has Azure Active Directory identity synchronization tools installed.

Yeah, you'd think not wouldn't you. There's 110 on one server.

Hi all, Due to something which happened this morning, it has come to my attention that my predeccesor was a great fan of the "Everyone" group when it came to share permissions. Is there an easy way to find out where there are share permissions for "Everyone", and then where there are file permissions for "Everyone"? Thank you Stuart

Hi all, Does anyone know of a site as good as EduGeek is for IT, but for Site Staff/Premises/Facilities Managers/etc? Would there be any value in EduGeek starting one? I'm on a Google Forum, but it's not the same.... Thank you Stuart

Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole due to bad experiences in two different schools a few years ago.

@HilcrRWise - Did you get this solved as I now have it on clients, but it works on the server? Stuart
