Maybe a somewhat expensive answer - but we use Papercut NG here to monitor all print jobs. It includes the exact feature (among meny others) you're after.

Novatech built me a storage array of 16x 450Gb 15k SAS drives for around £7900 a couple of years back. £6k sounds an aweful lot for the spec/use to me.

I've had Novatech custom build our last server (and our storage array) and have been very pleased with the price/quality/support. Personally I spec up Opterons over Intel for the extra cores. I'd sas 15k SAS is an exensive luxury. Maybe looking at RAID-50 would give redundancy and spead if you can afford the extra 10k drives?

Honestly not looked at the problem per se, just thought I'd suggest a different approach that I've used when I can't get SIMS to spit out the dataset I require. How about exporting two reports that each give half the answer into Excel and then using Excel to compare the two giving the final dataset?

My understanding is we should report to parents 3 times a year, although theres no guidelines as to what exactly. Internally we should be able to show termly progress for each pupil. We are in the process of setting up our reporting cycle. We are looking at sending home a one page report three times a year showing the pupils current grade they are working at and a level indicator, this report will include attendance details. Seperately we are sending an annual written report (using comment banks) that does not include any grades. This report contains sections for - an intoduction to the subject, the pupils understanding and progress, homework, and future progress. Hope that helps.

HP 2910 al Switch Series overview - HP Small & Medium Business products HP's website suggests it supports VLAN and Layer3 routing. Can't see any IPv6 support though - don't know if thats a potential issue going forward?

How meny hard drives are there, how are they configured and are any hot swappable, are any set up as spares or are they all part of the RAID array? If one drive as failed then you shouldn't get no boot device found, but the system should be running a bit slower as it is constantly using the error checking to reproduce the missing data. If a drive was listed as bad it should be replaced and not made good. Remember if two drives fail then everything is lost. In theory - If you put a new drive in then the RAID hardware should automatically rebuild the array using that drive.

@Michael, lol, I think you missed what I was driving at. I'd sooner have the OS away from the data drives entirely. For a DC I'd use RAID-1 for the OS. For a non-DC, reinstalling an OS on to a blank HDD is no big deal since the data is safely tucked away on the seperate RAID-5 volume. Like I say, using a single RAID-5 volume and partitioning for OS and Data may effect access speads.

For a DC I'd see RAID-1 as worth it just so you can try to avoid having to bring up a new DC from the replication. Removing a dead DC from DNS is cumbersome to say the least.

Ours are all RAID-1 (guests are on a RAID-50 NAS). Cant see the OS being hammered enough to justify the extra cost of RAID-10.

Accepting that every network/need is different - I'd normally argue, with the price of 250Gb hard drives being what they are, I'd sooner a seperate (non-RAID) drive for the OS to partitioning a RAID-5. I think the partitioning would have a (negligable?) impact on data access speeds.

I generally work to the following rule of thumb - Operating Systems either JBOD or RAID1, Data preferably RAID-5 but sometime RAID-10 if cost is an issue. In this case I'd go RAID-1, personally.

I've got a couple of YouRock Guitars here (at home) that I use with the Rockband game. For "fake plastic guitars" they are actually quiet good. Certainly feel pretty close to the real thing. The device itself will easily do what you want with a couple of build quality provisos. Stings don't seem to last long under heavy strumming, thankfully they are cheap and easy to replace (about $10 for 6 from the manufacturer). Also, on both, I've had problems with the odd string registering. Not 100% sure they'd stand up to long term student abuse. Have you looked at the Sonuus G2M? It converts normal guitar to midi, although it doesn't handle chords.

The problem with that is it redirects the port but there is no mention of where the proxy server is. can i do something like REDIRECT --to 10.96.22.5 --to-ports 1080 ? I can't help feeling I'm missing something obvious in my original script.

Common probably and I'm sure I've solved this before at another school but for the life of me can't figure it out this time! We have a private IP range routed on to our County's larger private IP range. Web request go through an onsite proxy server on port 1080 and are then forwarded to another Countywide proxy server before reaching the wider Internet. We are looking at investing in either Kindles or Android tablets and are having problems with entering proxy settings, or the lack of support for these settings. So the solution is to set up a router on our network to route traffic from a new private range onto our existing private range and in the process transparently redirect port 80 requests to our proxy server. Hopefully that makes sense. Here's what I've done: Set up a Hyper-V virtual machine with two NICs and installed CentOS 6.1 i386 minimal. Eth0 is on our existing range (10.96.22.100) and eth1 is on the new range (172.16.20.1) Here are router setting's I've tried: #/etc/rc.local modprobe ip_conntrack modprobe iptable_nat #/etc/sysctl.conf echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward #iptables iptables --flush iptables -t nat --flush iptables --delete-chains iptables -t nat --delete-chains iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 10.96.22.5:1080 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables service iptables stop service iptables start chkconfig iptables on service iptables status On the Kindle, the Android tab and my iPhone I've tried the following settings Static IP: 172.16.20.5 Netmask: 255.255.0.0 Gateway: 172.16.20.1 DNS: 10.96.22.11 Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working? Thanks Terry.
