I've been setting up Apple School Manager and Mosyle to manage some new Macs we are getting to replace our old Mac DAW suite. Previously we used Mac Server with VPP. I've now got ASM up and running, and the old VPP licences moved over to Apps & Books in ASM. I've connected ASM to Mosyle, and set up a basic Automatic Enrolment Profile to test the system. When I boot up the new Macs, the DEP takes over and Mosyle/ASM starts to go through some of the setup screens, but when it gets to the Remote Management screen where it tries to retrieve enrolment profile, it shows the error: 'Enrolling with management server failed. The server certificate chain for your organisation's MDM server was not properly set up.' As far as I can tell it is all setup correctly. Has anyone else had this issue and if so did you figure out what was wrong?

Don't know if anyone can help, but here goes. Currently have Mac Mini Server (Mid 2012) running El Capitan 10.11.6 and OS X Server 5.1.5 Want to upgrade to Sierra (10.12.x - whatever latest version is) and MacOS Server 5.3.1 My understanding is I need to upgrade Server from 5.1.5 to 5.2 first (possibly via 5.1.7), then upgrade El Cap to Sierra, then upgrade Server 5.2 to 5.3.1 Problem is when I click update on Server app in App Store, the update button greys out as expected and the little rotating timer appears at top left of App Store, but nothing else happens. It stays like that forever not downloading, or updating anything. Any thoughts on how to get it to download and run the update?

Hi Oaktech. We've checked MX Toolbox and no blacklisting there. Who did you contact and what was their email address as I can't find any relevant contact details on the Microsoft Postmaster site.

Hi all Hoping someone might be able to help. Our Exchange 2010 box has been running OK for some time. On Friday we went live with our new leased line (which obviously meant swapping IP addresses). Domain and MX records etc, all swapped at ISP, and all working fine. Emails send out and are received. Everyone can happily log in to OWA from outside. One problem though, since the swap, we haven't been able to send emails to Hotmail/Outlook.com accounts. Have had a look at https://postmaster.live.com/snds/ and it is showing our new IP as blocked due to email harvesting. As far as I can tell there is no spam being relayed by our server, and it seems odd that we weren't blocked before the IP change. Checked HELO which seems fine. Were not listed on any Blacklist sites etc. As far as I can DNS and Reverse DNS are all fine. The only contact there seems to be to find out why this has happened is the online form at https://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?productKey=edfsmsbl2&ct=eformts which just sends me back an email saying: More information needed xx.xx.xx.xxx (our IP address) There are indications that the above IP(s) are engaged in namespace mining. Outlook.com is blocking all email sent from this IP. and tells us to correct the problem and you must stop the behavior described above. Not a lot of help and no information to go on really. How can I solve this? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Adrian

Sorry Nick, but I don't see where that refers to. As far as I can see I have readwriteto="staff,students" in all the BookingSystem parts of the HAPconfig file.

Thanks Nick, I knew I was being thick. Everyone can see it now, but students and staff still can't book. Students and staff have readwrite permissions for the three rooms in the hapconfig.xml, and as a Domain Admin it all looks and works fine but as a staff or student (having applied the css to show green for free, red for booked, grey for timetabled booking) any free slots in the booking show up as Red (for not bookable) but still say Free, Not booked. Again, It must be a permission thing I've missed, but as you can from the Hapconfig.xml stuff below, students and staff have readwriteto permissions. I've also tried it with changing the quantities from 0 to 1 to see if that made any difference but it didn't. This is the hapconfig.xml stuff: Any thoughts?

Hmmmm. Its also not working for staff, but is for Domain Admins. I've missed something somewhere but I really can't see it. Any help anyone,,,,,

Here's the relevant bits from Hapconfig.xml: The Studio Bookings group is showing for students, and in the group the icon for Studio Room Bookings is shown. But when a student clicks they get: Error: Unauthorised Access You have attempted to access a restricted resource

Hi Grey-gear, the issue is that even with giving student permissions to access Room Bookings within HAPConfig.xml, when they click on the room bookings icon, they get the message: Error: Unauthorised Access You have attempted to access a restricted resource I believe the Room Bookings may be hard-coded to restrict student access, even with access being granted with hapconfig.

Thanks Nick

We'd like to use the room booking system so that our Music Technology students can book our 3 Recording Studios. Is there any way of making the Room Booking system work for students (or just a select group of students)?

I've found the CSS for changing the background colours depending on whether it is booked or not: #bookingday .body .col a.free { background-color: #58fa58 } #bookingday .body .col a.booked { background-color: #fa5858 } Just need to sort out the sizing of the bookings page now.

Found a reference to fitting more on screen in the forums with a post from you Nick saying to alter line 69 in the bookings default.aspx: style="min-width: <%=(200 * (config.BookingSystem.Lessons.Count + 1)) + 2 %>px"> However, we have 10 booking periods, and altering the min-width does make the width smaller, but, for example, if I change the min-width to 100 then it looks how I want it but only shows 7 of the booking periods, if I leave it at 200 they are wider and need to be scrolled to see, but shows 9 of the booking periods. If I set it to 300 then I they are wider still, but with a lot of scrolling shows all 10 of the booking periods! How can I get it so it is small width, but showing all 10 booking periods?

Thanks Nick, I must have messed up some CSS at some point before using the Booking System. Put a fresh copy of the CSS back and it works fine. I remember seeing somewhere in these forums 4 lines of code that showed Bookings with a red background and Free's with a Green background (and I think statics with a different colour as well - although i could have imagined that) but I've tried searching and I can't find it any where. Does anyone remember seeing it on the forums? Also is there any way of making the Bookings smaller so I can fit more onto a screen without scrolling? Cheers Adrian

Hi all Looking at getting the Booking system in HAP up and running so we can use it to book our 3 recording studios. Added the School periods, the resources (rooms) etc, but when I go to look at it I get this Anyone figure what is happening on the left-hand side. There seem to be some toggles, but I don't know what they do, and the BOOK and CANCEL buttons are obscuring the text for Studio 3. Ideally, I'd like to make all the columns narrower so that I can fit all the bookable periods on screen without having to scroll right. Is that possible? I couldn't find any CSS. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Adrian

Hi All I need to find the SIMS Database ID for each student and staff in SIMS. Does anybody know how to get this info out when creating a report? Cheers Adrian

That would be useful to know for future reference if I try to do any more work on the classic asp stuff. (What I really need is a year of doing sod all but learning asp.net instead but I don't think thats going to happen soon!)

No worries Nick. I've just moved the classic ASP stuff to a new virtual directory and am using basic auth on that instead.

Thanks Nick, but how do I use that in context of the code I gave? I've had a Google and it seems to asp.net rather than classic and I need to do it from classic. Sorry for being thick, but this isn't my forte!... (not sure what is really!)

Hi all, When running Version 5.6 of HAP we also had some classic .asp pages that pulled specific info from a database for each user which worked by using the following code: <% ' CAPTURE STUDENT USERNAME Dim objNet Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork") session("user") = objNet.UserName response.write session("user") %> With the new install, presumably because the version 9 install on IIS7 now uses AppPoolIdentity, no matter who logs in, the user that this code returns is 'HAP'. Is there anyway of grabbing the username that is entered when someone logs in now? Many thanks in advance, Adrian

I had the same problem. Nick has confirmed it is a bug (the Open button shouldn't appear for documents) - Look in this thread (http://www.edugeek.net/forums/home-access-plus/112335-odd-loop-happening-when-opening-document.html) and Nick has come up with a fix for it (Cheers Nick)

Many thanks Nick. I'll have a play with that code on Monday morning.

Just the 1 upload box Nick (or at least only 1 on mine) - I'm intrigued to find out how anyone on iPad/iPhones is able to upload anything other photos from their Camera Roll though as there is no other 'file system' to pick on documents from

Here's a little more info. If I use the download button to download a document (MIDI Notes 2011.pdf) from my Music Technology Folder on Drive K it uses the following link: https://my.school.address/hap/Download/K/Music%20Technology/MIDI%20notes%202011.pdf If I use the open button to open the same button it uses the following link: https://my.school.address/hap/myfiles/#../Download/K/Music%20Technology/MIDI%20notes%202011.pdf and gets stuck in a loop continually try to open and reopen that page. Every so often I get a glimpse of a red error message - something to do with a Key Not Given. Tried it on my Mac with Safari and getting the same issue as well. Hope this gives some clue!

Done a new install of V9 to replace our V5 install of HAP and very impressed. Just got one issue at the moment though. You can download documents fine by either double-clicking or by single-clicking and choosing the download option, but if I want to open the file in the browser (PDF, Doc, Docx - anything) and just single-click and then selecting the OPEN option from the top menu bar, it gets stuck in a loop, continously opening and reopening a web page and never actually opening the document. (This is using Windows 7 and IE9). Interestingly the same happens when using iOS, but in iOS I can hold down on the docement I want to open and after a second or so I get the option to open in another window/tab from iOS and selecting that opens the document without an issue into another tab. Does anyone else have a similar problem? Thanks for any help Adrian
