@nickbro Get 2 following errors - stops both the whole school calendar and this new one: Method not found: 'Boolean HAP.Web.Configuration.SMTP.get_EWSUseEmailoverAN()'.

Yeah, I use it, but its more for staff, I suppose a homepage section with all the servers on it would d a similar job apart from the announcement bit...

Literally a page that pings certain servers/common school services, and allows a blog style update of events/ planned outages. Perhaps even allowing staff to get updates via email? If you can create a live tile that links to it with a snapshot of info on it, all the better. I know it's not what hap is built for, but fits in with the help desk side, and as I say, work here normally happens after school, when they are using HAP to access stuff. Would be good if for internal access no login was required? If you could link in a tile like you did the calendar for desktop as well... Well... Ideal (any network notices/outages) #pushingtheboundaries

Some kind of server status / system notice board wold be great - especially as most people is hap to access RDC and they use it in windows where work may be planned...

Got pure message to work by adding county email servers as trusted relays.

Content filtering, also emailing the spamhaus list told me that hadn't applied :s

Hi all I have enabled anti spam on our exchange box, and I have pure message on and working. However we are till getting lots of spam, I have tried setting a block lst in exchange, and using the spamhaus lst, but both settings don't appear to apply. For instance, I blocked the word Santander, and emails still get through?! Any ideas?

Also, can we have an admin option to book a resource for a day fr a user?

Happy to volunteer to help test.

No av on our cluster hyper v hosts. Both are dcs though

M and J data, used Mark for 7 years at 3 schools M & J Data Networks

We have complex on for students, but doesn't expire. Staff have complex, change every 31 days, cant use previous password. I had change every 30 days for both, but students are useless, especially as we are a middle school so kinda stuck in the middle of age ranges.

This is all I get, fixed the redirect issue :S

I just have /hap on the default website.

Same happening here :S

Literally only got 7.8 on Friday. So slow to roll out updates!

Apparently the new Impero does most of that, getting it Wednesday. Will let you know.

No way to get the app to work on Win Phone 7.5? I think i read its completely different in terms of writing apps

I recently got a regrade on pay, on the letter I got confirming it, it told me my notice period was now 2 months, up from 1. I'm not fussed, but it appears to be based on pay scales here.

I got offered a job when I left 6th form as an IT technician at that school, I did some IT courses, but non relevant - but with IT they don't get relevant till you can choose specifics at HE. I am now a NM after 7 years (2 schools, now on 3rd) It is a long slog, but bare in mind that whilst you might now think a technicians job will do, when your 25-30 - will it still be? Will you want to be a manager (as that is really the only progression in edu IT) - being a NM is a completely different job in many cases. I now spend a lot more time arguing, budgeting, planning etc - but I do get the satisfaction of doing things my way, and getting good results because of that.

Oh, and all use standard parts, even the monitors can be swapped with any visa compatible ones.

We brought 100 from Novatech last hols, custom spec but a i5, 4gb ram, 60gb ssd, 22" screen, 5 yr warranty for £550

Our head encouraged me with this line of thought when I started here a year ago. We had the same budget, and the simple thought of : Why can't we be the best? The most important thing is staff. A good network manager who can work through this with you is money well spent, make sure they share the vision and the drive to do what you want. Make them above the day to day support cycle (I had a technician employed just after I started to give me time to think above the tickets) Start again if needs be. We ripped everything out, £180,000 later our network is no bigger. But it is better, from 20 mins XP logon to 13 seconds 7 logo, latest software and a solid infrastructure means all the toys and add ons (ipads, tablets etc) work so much more easily. Ensure the SMT is behind you every step of the way, willing to ride the rough times that are ahead. If you wanted to come and see what we achieved, please feel free to get in touch.

Lovely thanks Nick

2 Requests from me: Static / All Day Bookings Request - - 1 can we have an option to set a static booking for all periods during a day. - 2 when entering static bookings, can we redirect the page back to the static lesson entry form please, rather then back to the booking form control panel homepage? Thanks
