    Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! Trying to App-V Tucasi Schools Cash Office and have got it all working (MIS Dynamic Link as well) except it keeps failing when trying to create a mail merge document with the Online Link codes. It errors saying that it can't the path: C:\sco\MailMergeCSV\.csv - I can understand this because that path doesn't exist outside the virtual app but was wondering if anyone has anyone has had any luck getting it to work and would be kind enough to share the solution. Many thanks in advance.

    Hello everyone, We have managed to App-V SIMS.net and it all appears to be working fine, except when we go to print timetables using Reports -> Timetables -> Student Timetable(s). The issue is that the initial print of a timetable will function correctly but subsequent prints will fail and it'll just hang on "Printing Page 1". Upon further research I have found that when printing a timetable a "rundll32.exe" process is invoked, and this is not automatically killed after the print has been spooled to the printer. As soon as this process is manually terminated using Task Manager, the print of another timetable is successful. Is there anyway in App-V 5.0 to terminate this process automatically - or any kind of workaround as this is currently holding us back? Many thanks in advance!

    I was talking about the Enrolment plugin and the Timetable block - the link to these on the Moodle Docs page is dead. It would be great if someone could give me a copy of the plugin and block. The dead links are: http://www.uctc.e-sussex.sch.uk/moodle_sims.net_enrolment_plugin.zip and http://www.uctc.e-sussex.sch.uk/moodle_sims.net_timetable_block.zip Many thanks.

    Don't mean to revive an old thread but... I would like the SIMS2Moodle Enrolment Plugin and Timetable block. Does anyone have the latest version as the link in the MoodleDocs is still dead?

    No that's the thing, we used IEAK and left all the tick boxes selected and then when we got to the Proxy settings we selected the "Do Not Import settings" option, thinking that it would allow proxy settings to be applied using GPP. This clearly wasn't the case.

    Yep, we have almost completely migrated to Server 2012 R2. All three of our DCs are running Server 2012 R2. Having looked at this issue even more I've found the solution: we created the IE11 installer using IEAK. I have just recreated the installer, but only checked "Internal Install" check box and leave all the others unchecked. Once the new installer had been created, I uninstalled the Internet Explorer 11 update to put it back to IE9 and then installed it again using this installer. Once done, logged on with our test student account and IE11 proxy settings were successfully applied by just using the Internet Settings Group Policy Preferences. Hope that this may also help someone else.

    Hello everyone, Hoping someone on here can help me out as I am beginning to lose the will with Internet Explorer (Exploder ) 11 and setting proxy. We use mandatory profiles for all students I have created a GPP for Internet Explorer 10 (which also applies to 11) (the same way as I have done with setting up IE9 - which works great!) and it refuses to apply the settings for the user. However, if I remove the mandatory profile from a user and log in with that, the settings do not apply, but by logging off and on again they do. This is the not the solution and even less so for a mandatory profile considering they are deleted from the local machine when a user logs off. I have tried to add the appropriate Proxy settings registry values to GPP Registry for the and this does not work also. I have even tried exporting these settings into a .REG file and then using reg import as part of the student login batch file and this too does not work. The mandatory profile that we use was created on a machine with IE9 - could this be the cause of the issue? When a student logs in they get the "Setting up personalized settings" dialog, which doesn't appear on staff accounts (IE11 Proxy settings work for staff). I am wondering if this Active Setup(?) is wiping out these settings as this happens after the Group Policy Processing has completed?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am going out of my mind! (Its funny how Google Chrome is so much easier to manage and just works and yet IE11 is an absolute PITA!!)

    Not sure if you've managed to fix this issue, but we have been having the same issue. The solution that seems to work for us is it to convert the file into the new PowerPoint format. Once this is done, the PowerPoints and embedded flash objects work fine. Hope this helps someone!

    We had two of their support people remote in, one to do the upgrade to Silverlight Management and then another a couple of days later after we found out that the fingerprints weren't working. They both didn't seem to know that much about their system or Server 2012 R2! We haven't bothered to rollback and have just broken the news to the librarian that students will need to have their fingerprint re-registered when they come to take a book out. They took it quite well...surprisingly I completely agree that before MLS was bought by Capita they were pretty good and their support was top notch, but now it is quite poor.

    Hello everyone, We have recently had our Eclipse.NET library software upgraded to Silverlight Management. However, it would appear that since doing this, none of the fingerprints are working. Having had a look in the tables of the database, the fingerprint hashes are still there in the Borrowers table. Is there any way of converting these to the .dat file the Silverlight Management now uses. I have set the MLS Plugin Configuration Tool's Operating Mode to Remote (locally hosted Eclipse.net) and I have re-registered my fingerprint, and have noticed that the fingerprint hash has been added to the BiometricData table. Therefore, I believe that I need to get the fingerprint hashes that are in the Borrowers table converted to a .dat file so that I can import them into the BiometricData table of the Eclipse.NET database using the MLS Plugin Configuration Tool. I really hope someone has a solution otherwise the librarian is going to have to re-register student's fingerprints. Here's hoping!!

    I will take a look at that - thanks.

    I have managed to find a copy of this utility, however, when running it on Windows 7, the following error message is displayed: "The ordinal 45 could not be located in the dynamic link library"

    Hello fellow edugeekers! We have recently commissioned a new file server and every member of teaching staff has their own laptop with offline files setup to make their home drives available to them when they are working at home etc. However, my question is how it'll handle a change of file server. For example offline files points to: \\old-server\staff\%username% And the new file server uses: \\new-server\staff$\%username% Is there a way of redirecting offline files so that it no longer points to the old server and instead uses the new server? My worry is that staff are going to come into school and the document they worked on the previous night (the night we shut the old server down) will not be synced up to the network because old-server is "not available". Many thanks in advance.

    We use SCCM to deploy the AppV Client. We have three deployments: First one: Deploys WMI3.0 to the client which installs PowerShell 3.0 which AppV 5.0 requires. (In the end we integrated this into our image to save time in the future). The installation program for this is: wusa.exe WMI-3.0-x64.msu /quiet /norestart and the detection method is a line of PowerShell: get-hotfix | Where-Object {$_.HotFixID -match "KB2506143"} Second one: Deploys the AppV 5.0 SP2 Client. The installation program for this is: appv_client_setup.exe /q /ACCEPTEULA /norestart and the detection method is an MSI Product Code of: {D5783B51-00A6-4991-B6C3-88B35BA45E94} Third one: Deploys the AppV 5.0 SP2 Hotfix 5. The installation program for this is: AppV5.0SP2-Client-KB2963211.exe /q /ACCEPTEULA /norestart and the detection method is if AppVClient.exe equals version: 5.0.3404.0 The above works for us without any issues. Hope this helps. P.S - Loving AppV 5.0 ~ it has brought the end of the dreaded SIMS.net client upgrades as it only needs to be done once centrally!

    Figured out a solution! Created a PowerShell script and set it to run when the user logons by placing it in the Startup folder. Fixes the issue beautifully! It only took two lines! import-module appvclient Sync-AppVPublishingServer 1

    We have recently deployed AppV 5.0 to an IT room and have published some applications on a user basis (by targetting an AD group). However, when these students logon to the machine, a user refresh does not occur and instead the students have to open the AppV Client GUI and then click the "Update" button to manually force this refresh. Once this is done, the application appears in the user's start menu and all is well. I have enabled the User Refresh at Logon Group Policy setting and when running RSOP.msc on a client, these GPO settings are being successfully applied. Has anyone else experienced an issue like this and if so, how did you go about resolving it. Many thanks. J.Worth

    Hello everyone, We have just set up App-V 5.0 SP2 Full Infrastructure and are getting on well with it. However, for some reason when we create App Connection Groups and add the required Apps into them and publish the group, it does not get published on the client machine. The individual apps are shown on the client, but there is nothing listed under App Connection Groups. We are trying to do this with Adobe CS5. We have sequenced each individual application in the suite and want to connect them together using a connection group - however this is not working at all. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello everyone, We are currently looking at using AppV and are wondering whether it is possible to use both Full infrastructure and SCCM integrated together to create a Hybrid like deployment? For example, we would use the SCCM integrated AppV for deploying large applications such as Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc and then use the full infrastructure for deploying smaller applications such as Sketchup, Notepad++, etc. So, basically what I'm asking is whether the two would work side by side. Many thanks.

    Hello everyone, Got a bit of an issue with HAP at the minute - it works fine on Chrome but when trying it on IE an error message is displayed. The version of HAP is 10.1 and it is running on Server 2012 R2 (IIS 8.5) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello everyone, We are looking at implementing a feature so that when a member of staff logs on to a machine a dialog box is displayed showing a PDF file of the Staff Bulletin. Is there an easy way of doing this so that it is displayed and can only be closed after 10-15 seconds, so staff do no dismiss it immediately. I found something (I think it was on here) a while ago, which was an application that worked as a PDF viewer, and was launched at logon and there was a (configurable) countdown timer, before a close button was enabled. It seemed to be exactly what we were looking, however, I can not find it for the life of me. Any help/ideas, would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. J.Worth.

    Is there anyway of changing the colour of a booked time slot?
