Are you using a fully qualified path for the output file? if not, and not setting the working directory then I think the sceduler will be trying to save it in System32, which is likely to be write protected.

Office 365 and Exchange Online support Simple Display Name in the same way as on premise Exchange does, you just need to set it up. You will need to use PowerShell to set it up. Once connected to Exchange then you need to set the Remote Domain to use Simple Display Names and set the Simple Display Name for all users. To set up the remote domain use Set-RemoteDomain -Identity Default -UseSimpleDisplayName $false This is assuming that you just have the standard default remote domain. You can check this by running Get-RemoteDomain and you should get something similar to Name DomainName AllowedOOFType ---- ---------- -------------- Default * External To set the simple domain name for a user, it's as simple as Set-User -Identity [email protected] -SimpleDisplayName "My simple name" If a user doesn't have a simple display name and the remote domain is set up to use them, then it will just use the smtp address, it will not fall back to the display name. Note, it takes some time for the settings to take affect after you set then. It took an hour or two to work for me after I made the change.

Name is just a friendly name for the role assignment, so can be any name you want. It is optional, but I'd recommend using it so you can easily figure out what it is when using Get-ManagementRoleAssignment or remove it easily. Service Account is the account that you want to get the role assignment to i.e. the user the tool will be connecting as.

Answers not saved in slk (Urgent Help)
rpwillis replied to haiiamleo's topic in Virtual Learning Platforms
It's up to the SCORM package whether the answers are saved or not. SLK will only play the package in review mode after it's been submitted to the instructor, or after it's been returned to the learner. The point of display mode is so that the package knows to display the saved answers, so until the package has been completed it's not a viable option. -
Who are we? We (SalamanderSoft) are a small, but dynamic, team dedicated to providing first class products and services to the Education Sector. Through our integration products for school systems, we help our customers to connect up their on-site and off-site systems in exactly the way they need to support teaching and learning and school administration. As our customer base is growing, we are looking for an experienced Network Technician/Manager to help us maintain our level of support to our new and existing customers. We also give back to the community by developing the SharePoint Learning Kit and a number of free utilities for schools.

The main products you will be working with are our range of integration products, linking School MIS to Active Directory, SharePoint and other systems.

What we will do for you 5 weeks paid holiday per year plus bank holidays Flexibility in working hours when required, although our customers’ needs have to come first The opportunity to get rid of your daily commute Expenses paid on any business travel Support you in improving your current skills and to work with and develop new ones The opportunity to attend some conferences/events/training during the year Paid Certification attempts Who we are looking for Someone with great technical skills who loves helping customers and solving problems. We're not finished with a job until the customer is happy. You are the sort of person who will see something wrong and fix it before it is raised as an issue. This is very much a customer focussed role, and regular customer contact via Phone/Skype and email will be essential. Although you will need to be able to work independently and with little supervision, the team is always in contact via Lync, Yammer, email and phone.

With technology being such as fast moving field, we would expect you to have a thirst for knowledge and be keen to improve your skills, with a proven track record of doing so. Although we will provide all the equipment and software that you need to do your job, you will need a suitable area for working in your home, a broadband connection and probably a kettle.

Sharepoint 2007 web part query
rpwillis replied to mavis_go_long's topic in Virtual Learning Platforms
You can use the SharePoint Learning Kit. SharePoint Learning Kit - Home. Originally developed by Microsoft, but now open source and developed by myself. -
It will write out csv format data. Write-Host just outputs to the console.

Office 365 - Auto Populate The Lync Sing In Address
rpwillis replied to FN-GM's topic in Cloud Services
Better try running DirSync though to make sure adding them doesn't affect that. DirSync replicates that value to Azure ADFS as the authoritative source. List of attributes that are synced by the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool. -
Office 365 - Auto Populate The Lync Sing In Address
rpwillis replied to FN-GM's topic in Cloud Services
OK, we should be able to populate that then as part of the user account provisioning. -
Give this a go after importing the session. Write-Host "DisplayName,Email,LastLogon,Year" $mailboxes = get-mailbox $mailboxes | foreach-object { $stats = get-mailboxstatistics $_.Identity $_.DisplayName + "," + $_.PrimarySMTPAddress + "," + $stats.LastLogonTime + "," + $_.PrimarySMTPAddress.Substring(7,2) } This assumes that the intake year value is at position 8 & 9 in the email address.

Office 365 - Auto Populate The Lync Sing In Address
rpwillis replied to FN-GM's topic in Cloud Services
I think that the Lync client picks up the sign in address from the msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress attribute in Active Directory. This attribute is added to the schema when you install an on-premis Lync. -
Release at https://slk.codeplex.com/releases/view/118385.

You could also look at 3rd party online reporting systems to see if they could fit your needs. Just for internal use by staff in this case of course.

Looks like you are missing a dll (SLGWebFeature) which is used by a config section in web.config. Near the top of web.config you should have a configSections element which contains sections. Once of these will reference SLGWebFeature. Look for the name attribute, then find that section elsewhere in web config. If you want to try to get SharePoint running again you'll need to comment out the section element you found about and the actual section it references. Note you can really break SharePoint by messing with web.config so make sure you back it up before making any changes. Or you could wait for Capita support to sort it out. SLG is unlikely to work without it's config section in, but the rest of SharePoint should.

There's a couple of free options: 1. SharePoint Foundation with SharePoint Learning Kit installed. 2. Moodle Both of which need installing and configuring so I wouldn't necessarily call simple. Rutici Cloud is a cloud based service for SCORM content, but is a paid service.
-
You can use the SharePoint Learning Kit to run SCORM content. New in version 1.7 is the ability to just play a package rather than needing to assign it. You do need SharePoint to run it, but it will work on the free SharePoint Foundation version.

guidance on remote access for an external person
rpwillis replied to Marshall_IT's topic in MIS Systems
They may not have enchanced disclosure. You can only get an enhanced disclosure if you physically work with children on a weekly basis. And I think that it needs to be the same location as well. If you have access to all pupils information electronically, but don't physically work with them then you are not eligible for an enhanced disclosure. -
That's a good option. I've really always considered our Shared Documents Web Part an interim strategy before you move your shared folders into SharePoint. Home directories are a bit more tricky though.
-
That will only work internally as it's the browser connecting to the file share, not the server.

[sims] Export a SIMS .net timetable to a user's Exchange Callander
rpwillis replied to Rawns's topic in MIS Systems
No they are not recurring, they are individidual events so only changed from now onwards. -
Could it be anything to do with CTF imports?
-
Althought it looked like it would contain VLE features at one point, there is no documentation or mention of the education features in the RTM release. Leads me to think that it's not supported, certainly not at the moment. I have no idea if it will be released later, or whether it's been cut completely.

Quite possibly wasn't on there. You can probably tell I don't do much with the website.
