Hi, I've freshly installed and got it set up quite nicely with the 10.5 update and have downloaded a couple of the plugins including the Room Bookings 4.6. My first query is this, is it possible to use the type quota with the %homedir% path? Our user homedrives were setup as follows: \\server\Y7share\%username% \\server\Y8share\%username% Can I make it work for quotas? Or do I HAVE to change the home folder to be like this: \\server\%username%$ If I set the drive map and quota server to specifically point to a share as listed on the top above it works, but of course it only works for ONE year group share as you can't have any logic to change the In addition to the above, on our network we also have a shared drive folders for students which map with group policy onto the same drive letter for all year groups but a different path. So N: will be \\server\Y7Shared for Y7 and N: will be \\server\Y8Shared for example. Can I control this with enablereadto= ? I did some testing and I couldn't seem to make it work? My second question is about how to setup room bookings. I added the following from the hapsetup gui, but I can't seem to browse to the roombooking page. It throws an error about unhandled exception. I've pasted it below the booking section from my hapconfig. I'm sure to someone that knows what they're doing (clearly not me) would know straight away where I've gone wrong! Thanks in advance for any help and well done to NB for this great product!!

Our setup is that we have 4 vlans and a layer 3 core switch (Procurve 6600 J9264a) set as the default gateway for the different subnets. Everything is working great so long as we're happy entering our upstream proxy details into the browser settings (either automatically on domain joined PCs, automatically on DHCP assigned devices that read the wpad settings and have their browsers set to auto proxy config or manually by physically entering the name and port) As I mentioned our core switch is the default gateway to all the clients, what I THINK I want to do is to change the default gateway on the core switch, so that instead of forwarding request onto the ISP supplied router that needs the proxy for port 80, it goes to a device acting as a transparent proxy for port 80 but that passes ALL other traffic through to the router. If we don't enter proxy settings any app or service that doesn't need port 80 works fine. The problem I have is (I don't know what I'm doing mainly) that I cant seem to find a FREE software setup that accepts the traffic from the 4 different subnets we have. Lets say we have 10.10.1.0/22 10.10.2.0/22 192.168.1.0/22 If I was to use a device such as an IPCOP/IPFIRE/PFSENSE/SMOOTHWALL etc. How do I configure it to accept traffic from the different subnets. They generally have a green and red design. I would also be happy to just use squid and a basic linux build. An abundance of old server hardware is available so that is not an issue but I am trying to do it without paying for software. Given our core switch ROUTES I figured I could just hang a device on any FREE IP address (lets say 10.10.1.2) set is as the DGW for the core switch and then in the device have ITS DGW as the original ISP supplied ROUTER which would be routed back via the core switch. I don't think I need to physically cable the new intermediate device in the space between core switch and ISP router.... For our BYOD Wifi STAFF network I have put a transparent proxy in place and then set ITS address in one of our scopes in DHCP as the DGW for the visitors network, because it's not the L3 switch that's the DGW in this situation it is of course not possible to route back into the rest of the network. I don't know if this is clear at all!?? If anyone can offer any help I'll try and provide some clearer details...

It's definitely https. Ahh, interesting. I've just tried it logged in as a member of admins and that works. Hmmn, so some sort of permissions issue then... I'll get my toothcomb!

Now don't I feel like a goofball! Thanks very much Nick, that did it. Couldn't see the wood for the trees on that one... I must be making some similarly stupid mistake as although the basic version now works great the silverlight one shows no drives? And thanks again for HAP, it is very very useful.

I've been tinkering trying to fix it but am suffering from this 'given key not present dictionary' problem My hapconfig file seems to be in order, no back or forward slashes mixed up or ending with a slash. This is the message from Application Even log on the server when I right click and choose download on a file in silverlight version. I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer.

I installed on Srv08R2 and followed all instructions as per the youtube vid except for the ICACLS portion I got from another thread. This error happens if I click a drive in the basic view. In silverlight view there are no drives shown so cant click. If I login as an admin I can see the silverlight version and the drives show, but when I click a file to view/download/rename etc it throws the error attached, though I can browse through folders ok... Incidentally, is it correct for the Test Settings button in Basic Settings for the hap application to report back 'Invalid Application Path'? I'm sure I've missed something....

Hi, I am about to rebuild our server which currently runs Server 2008 X64 Standard with SP1 using a volume product key from Ramesys. Does anyone know if Server 2008R2 will install instead using the same product key I have used for the non R2 version? Thanks in advance. Dan.

Siuko - Heheh, I wish I was in that category. Its nice to know that others have had the same experience. Looking at the Forum it seems like Moodle is going to be most worth the 'investment'. I've been playing with Google Apps and Live@Edu and think that a combination of systems may end up ticking the boxes. Although the boxes have not yet been fully defined which is certainly part of the problem.

I was just wondering how many of you guys out there are: 1. Using SKillspace successfully 2. Have got it but don't use it 3. Stopped using it and have gone or looking elsewhere. We currently fall into category 2 for a number of reasons... Just wondered about other peoples experiences.

Is enough ever enough I'm dead happy with my job and pay. The poll was just a bit of fun though, I was just interested in the similarity of my job to others, seems like a lot of places around my way have 3 tech staff for similar workload!?

Hi, I have been working in my current job, Systems Manager for 8 years now. I work alone and have no assistants. In my school we have 280 Client machines running XP and 5 Servers on 2K3, wiht a mixture of Exchange Server, Sharepoint, Joomla + Moodle. With the exception of 2 Dell Servers and 100 laptops (which the hardware was already put together) I have built all the machines myself both software and hardware, I am fully responsible for all the network/phone infrastructure. I look after our website, video archives, IWBs (25 of) printers (20 of) digital cameras, CCTV, MIS, etc. The school is a comprehensive 11-16 and has 560 students. I am interested to find out how does this compare with some of you other guys out there? Al the best, Dan.
