Thanks @thorpen that worked a treat!

We've created a new dataset for the next Academic Year for the purpose of preparing for Options in Year 10 and Year 12. Options is progressing well so I don't want to disrupt that. However, is it possible to copy the blocks and bands for all other Year groups from the current dataset to the new dataset without impacting upon the Year 10 and Year 12 model?

Okay, I'll run SIMSPERM.bat to reset the default permissions on the workstation and get him to try again.

I've got one user who defaults to the SIMS database defined in the [sIMSConnection] whichever school he chooses from the Multi drop-down menu. If I change the default [sIMSConnection] he gets that SIMS database. This also only occurs when using a particular workstation. We've reset his profile on the RM Console and deleted the local profile on that workstation. No-one else appears to have this issue. Any ideas?

Great, it's working now. Thanks for you help @halbaradkenafin

But it still doesn't go deep enough.... Remove-Item : Cannot find path 'D:\SUNSQLBackups\master_backup_2015_01_27_220305_0055439.bak' because it does not e xist.

This is the start of the output I get using the above. Any ideas? PS C:\> C:\deloldfiles.ps1 Remove-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\master_backup_2015_01_27_220305_0055439.bak' because it does not exist. At C:\deloldfiles.ps1:9 char:14 + Remove-Item <<<< $File -WhatIf + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\master_backu...305_0055439.bak:String) [Remove-Item], ItemNotFou ndException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand Remove-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\master_backup_2015_01_28_220253_7928144.bak' because it does not exist.

On my SIMS servers I am using the following script to delete older backup files however, I now wish to use it on another server to delete the older backup files I have been Robocopying across to SUNSQLBackups. At the moment, it doesn'y appear to do anything and I think this may be due to the backup files existing within subfolders. Anyone help me tweak this script to do what I need? '-------------- ClearOldFiles.vbs -------------------- Option Explicit Dim fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") DeleteFilesa fso.GetFolder("D:\SUNSQLBackups") Sub DeleteFilesa(srcFolder) Dim srcFile If srcFolder.Files.Count = 0 Then 'Wscript.Echo "No File to Delete" Exit Sub End If For Each srcFile in srcFolder.Files If DateDiff("d", Now, srcFile.DateLastModified) < -5 Then fso.DeleteFile srcFile, True End If Next 'Wscript.Echo "Files Deleted successful" End Sub 'Wscript.Echo "Files Deleted successful" '-----------------------------------------------

This is how I see myself but in reality I ride a 1200 Bandit mostly

I've just got the same issue at one school. Currently on 630 but should be on 631. We're on Solus3 too. I've redeployed SIMS to see if that helps.

I've got the same issue as @Quackers on my terminal server which provides remote access to SIMS, etc. I've copied and pasted my workstation (where Nova-T is working) sims.ini file to the C:\windows\ directory of the terminal server (W2003) but still no joy. I've run SIMSInfrastructureSetup.exe which is my normal fallback to get Nova-T to work but still no joy. What should I have to install or change to facilitate Nova-T working on a workstation that has SIMS installed?

Going today (Thursday) as @winnsworld but will bring my own lunch just in case I don't find the pizza in time!

And after hours of remote support today their conclusion is the firewall is blocking the ports so need to refresh the existing GPO and push it out, reboot all workstations and redeploy. Oh I wish it was going to be so easy....

I've run ipconfig /dnsflush net stop dnscache net start dnscache

I've had a Bl**dy awful week since deploying the Autumn 2 update last weekend. Three out of four schools appeared to be okay with one being a right pain in the neck with only a handful of computers receiving the update successfully! I've got computers appearing as Offline when I know they are in use and can be pinged from the server. I've got computers appearing as Failed although it says update was successfully installed. I've got computers appearing as In progress but they get no further. Then one of the earlier successful schools report connect.ini errors (although they've been okay for the past three days). I've resent it from the server and manually copied it to some. The latter also reporting that when attempting to use InTouch their SIMS crashes. The number of emails and tickets being generated for my attention is overwhelming.... Anyway, Friday tomorrow (except I've got a SIMS Steering Committee meeting in the afternoon - great timing).

Bugger! 3 out of 4 appear to have been successful but one (the largest deployment of workstations) is failing with the message "Throttling - No download slot available, unable to deploy|" Anyone got any ideas as to what I need to do here?

Here we go then. Four SIMS instances to be updated this morning. Fingers crossed my Citrix connection stays up so I can complete the task!

I used to work for one of their academies in London and enjoyed working with the Group IT team. I only left as the journey to work was taking over 1.5 hours each way....

I have five SIMS instances to manage across different schools and in order to facilitate certain people accessing any database from any location, I provide a connect.ini in the format above described by @rpwillis

This may be of interest Linux Schools

SIMSInfrastructureSetup.exe from within Setups on the relevant workstation should do the job

And I heard today the Autumn release has been withdrawn so delaying the update again.... roll on Autumn 2

Navigating between screens on Solus 3 is painfully slow...... it's slower with 3.7.

Hi, I've got this issue on a virtual server. Is it still okay to relocate the pagefile to the D drive to free up much needed space on the C drive?

So says
