I've done this multiple times. Just note that when you do an upgrade of the version, if the ACU's need to firmware update they will lock up in the process and none will be able to used the doors while they update. I'd only do this in the holidays due to this disruption.

I have had the motherboard replaced on one of my Dell Esxi server a few years ago and it was just a case of making sure the cables went back in the same ports. The Raid was picked up and booted fine with no problems. Might be a good idea to have a backup of the hosts config just in case anything does go wrong.

Hi, We had a slightly diffrent problem to you last week but could be relevant. When we sent a print with multiple copies it would only print the first copy and the rest wouldn't not be printed. The printer we had the problem with could have a hard drive installed which it did not. We had the hard drive option turn on in print setting, so once we turned this off it allowed multiple copies to be printed. Hope that helps

Hi, We am after some advise on how others do backup's both onsite and offsite and how we should do ours. We have two sites in the trust. Current Solution: Site 1: Onsite - Vmware Data protection this is stored on a freenas box that is mounted to the hosts and is located at the other side of the school. The freenas server will be around 6 years old now, so it getting on. Offsite backup - Provided by a UK company, we pay 4.2k per year of 5TB of storage. This only backups file shares. Site 2: Onsite - Vmware Data protection this is stored on an old RM nas box that is mounted to the hosts which I am not sure how old it is as it was bough before we supported this site. Offsite backup - Provided by a UK company, we pay 1.1k per year of 500gb of storage. This only backups file shares and sims. What we would like: We like vmware data protection as it works fine for us and does not cost us anything extra as it comes part of our vmware licence. The offsite backup is currently costing us around 5.3k a year for both sites and with a shrinking budget we would like to get rid of this, current contract is up next month. We have thought about getting two new nas boxes such as a synology nas and having vmware data protection appliances replicate to each other so we would have site 1's onsite backups replicated to site 2 and the other way. Questions: Has anyone on here done a vmware data protection site to site replication? Would you replace vmware data protection with somthing like veeam? Can it do site to site replication? Or would you do it a diffrent way. We would just like to not have to pay 5.3k every year. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry to drag this back up but I am having a similar problem. I have my dhcp server on the default vlan I want vlan 5 to get it's ip's from dhcp on vlan 1 I have created a scope for vlan 5 in dhcp but it is not serving addresses with the below config on the core switch Can someone help with this?

Do you have port 3389 open towards the rdweb server?

Sorry i had made a mistake, change line 27 to

Might be to do with the formatting for quoting the code? It work's fine for me, try again with me quoting it as code this time. Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network") set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") dim NIC1, Nic, StrIP, CompName Set NIC1 = GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration") For Each Nic in NIC1 if Nic.IPEnabled then StrIP = Nic.IPAddress(i) Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") If ip2num(StrIP) >= ip2num("10.115.197.1") And ip2num(StrIP) <= ip2num("10.115.197.254") Then ''ipaddress in range wscript.quit End If end if next strUsername = "" strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _ "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem",,48) For Each objItem in colItems strUsername = objItem.UserName Next if strUsername = "" then ''No User logged on Force shutdown strCmd = "shutdown -s -t 300 -f -c ""This computer is performing a scheduled shutdown. Please save all your work. PRESSING CLOSE WILL NOT ABORT SHUTDOWN""" objShell.Run strCmd else ''user logged in strCmd = "shutdown -r -t 300 -f -c ""This computer is performing a scheduled shutdown. Please save all your work. PRESSING CLOSE WILL NOT ABORT SHUTDOWN""" objShell.Run strCmd end if Public Function ip2num(ip) Dim i, a, N a = Split(ip, ".") N = CDbl(0) For i = 0 To UBound(a) N = N * 256 + a(i) Next ip2num = N End Function

Hi the reason this isn't working is because objNetwork.UserName is picking up the user that is running the scheduled task. I have changed it to use WMI to get the current logged in user instead of the user that is running the script, give the below ago and it should work.

Over the summer we updated one of our file server from 2003 to 2012 R2, We used DFS-R to replicate the data to the new server. We had turned off target and replication to the old server but had not deleted the reference to it. We have since decommissioned that server, and now when trying to remove the reference to the old server we get an error message as it can't contact the old server. Do any of use know how to remove this?

Hi sletts02, This should be what you are looking for, Add 2012/win8/8.1 group policy extensions to 2008 R2 domain - Spiceworks From this you should just add RSAT tools to a windows 8.1 machine and manage group policy from that machine.

Hi, I have just set up App-V 5.0 SP1 server and I am trying to deploy the client to our windows 7 x64 machine and I cant figure out how to do it. Has anyone done this? If so could you help me. Thank You

I would like to know this aswell

Hello, For students we have the desktop redirected to a central share so they all have the same icons on the desktop and they cant add or delete them. For staff they have there desktop redirected into there Home Share so they all have there own desktop. What I want to do is make it so that staff can have there own desktop still but so I can also add icon's to all the staff desktops. Hope this makes scenes to everyone.

Both our site's were down for 30 minutes today, After contacting BT about this, they told us that Northern Grid had a major outage in there network. All appears to be fine now. We have had nothing but problems from them in the past month.

The below might work for you. You will need to change lines 17 and 25 to your AD config. Save the file as enable accounts then change line 28 to say and save it as disable account. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Its fine I am just going to download it at home Thank you for the offer though

Best not get into the rm bashing haha And I tried to get a cd online but the county smothwall was having none of it. I somewhat give up on it for now, try again next week, with a fresh mind

We are converting from an only rm domain to a vanilla domian and we rebuilt the domain during the move. Just a note this is an inherited network and had no documentation in the handover, we were only given the domain administrator password thats it! They had an RM Nas Box and it had loads of space on it so we though to use it as backup storage for our vmware containors and while removing it from the old domain I forgot to change the password on the local administrator account or create an admin account and locked myself out of the box bigggg blond moment

Hi, This finaly got sorted. It turned out it was the serial cable I was using that was dodge. I used a new cable and it was perfectly fine. And I was able to reset it.

Silly question but how do you actually reset to WX4400 back to factory settings?

Hi all, When I connect the serial port to the switch and try to use putty to connect to it I just get a blank screen with no response. Any ideas? Thanks

I will try this when I am next on site, thanks

Ssh is enabled I just dont know the login details for it. Also I have tryed the serial port but I couldn't get it to work. I plugged the serial into one of the servers and fired up hypertermial and it didnt do anything. I even tryed using putty but I didnt get anywhere with it. Some guidance is needed

I have remote server administration tools installed on my windows 7 machine. This is so i don't have to jump onto a DC to do active directory work such as password resets. Make sure that you only have user objects selected in active directory as if you select another object such as an OU or a Computer it wont show the profile section.
