We have been running these tests for sometime now and we have never had many issues at all. We are running the software on Standalone computers.

If anyone needs a copy of Windows server 2003 send me a PM

I work in a large secondary school in the north east of England and we have just got a new print solution. So I have took out all the old Kyocera printers, We have 32 printers and over 3k worth of ink and I wondering if anyone know a company that will buy the ink and the printers from us. Thanks

I also have it and i can upload to my server for people to download if thereneed it.

I have it, i will upload it and provide you with the link

One of the schools im currently managing is looking to go with a wireless system but im unsure who go with if you could answer the few questions below it would be a great help. What type of Wireless Setup did you go with? How many AP's? How many Controllers? What was the rough cost of it also?

Personally you could go for a Tape Solution or a NAS. Personally i use a NAS in all of my primary schools. You can get some good NAS for like 250 pound these days and there are more popular then the tape Solution.

Our caretakers do it all. Only time i get called down is when the police need a copy. but that is soon changing too.

I used to work at a school who did this with these Sixth Form Students. There offered Ipad or a samsung Galaxy. I think there used a company called Square Group. Im not 100% Sure tho. I basically think there had to put a depoist down first to reserve one and then go from there. I was not really involved much. I just had to configure them.

Personally i think it comes down to where the school see ICT going, How far there wanna go with it and if there have the Budget to go with there plans. I know that 6 primary schools that are not that good. about 3 of them are wanting to go down the ipad,imacs,new computers and wireless and the other 3 the headteacher is stuck in 1950's ha ha

Well im Network Manager to 12 primary schools and i have to say there are very different. i have about 5-6 primary schools that basically have 1 server to do everything,there are all running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition,This is soon going to change to two servers. All of these primary schools out of that 5-6 have 1 ICT suite which have 16-20 5 year old machines in there. Running Windows xp and 2 GB Ram, which was upgraded by myself. Previously only had 512mb ram. The other 6 Primary schools are very posh schools, there have 3 servers running Windows 2008 R2, All setup in racks with Air con and its got a dedicated server room. these schools also have 2 ICT Suites with 25 brand new Dell SFF i5 desktops, there also have a Apple Mac Room with 10 Imacs and 25 iPADS. These schools also have a full Ruckus Wireless System installed.

I have called Microsoft about it not being on the portal. There told me its being took off because there are not supporting it anymore. Which is not correct that im aware?

I have sent you a PM

The way we have done this was to get the code from twitter for thr feed. put the code in a HTML editor. We used Alleycode (Free Source) save the file has a html file. Then you simple upload to your folder in frog. Copy the path to clipboard. then go to the page you want the feed on and edit page...go to Media...embed website and paste the path in the box. DONE!

First thing is yes the staff do get disciplined when there lose the fobs,yeah i agree 2 factor Authentication is a good thing but when you can't even get logged on to the portal,its useless. We have had the MIS transfer system in for about 4-5 weeks now. i have to say we have used to about once. since we cannot logon to it. due to it being unstable. I have called the Local Authority and even there said there are having issue with the system and are telling people to use the old methods.

Hi there Well im wanting to remove ranger from one of my primary schools. Can ranger be removed from all the cilents machines with a script? If so has anyone got that script? thanks

yeah Our Local Authority offered us something like that for our MIS transfer System and i have to say its 100% complete rubbish. we have had more problems with this then anything else. The problems we have with this solution is that staff keep losing there fob keys and then the school need to pay 120 pound for a new one.which then takes the local authority about 2 weeks to config and send back to us. Updates to the Critix cilent is the most annoying issue we have at the moment. seems like its doing updates every second of the second.

Yeah There are all Good Points.

AWWW ok, If you need more information just send me a PM

That is the Annual Cost. If you need anymore information. Im Happy to call you or You can call me. Just send me a PM

I have recently did this for all my primary schools and after alot of work and research i decided to go with Schools Boardband. School Broadband Fast, Reliable Internet for Schools There were great and provided everything i wanted at my primary schools. Filtering is supplied by them,which there use Fortinet Web Filtering which is synced to your AD. so when a user logs on to the computer and goes on the internet its know what filtering to put in place. Staff or Student even admin. We are currently signed up to a three year deal with them, which includes hosting the domain and email accounts,FTTC Network connection when available ,filtering and support and its all for £3200. All the primary school i work for have came out of the LEA for most of the things, I think we only use there MIS system, which is online anyway.

book for dummies is quite good read but i would have to agree with SHimmer45,mark minasi's mastering windows server 2003 book is the best one. For reserving a IP address. If you logon on to the server, Go into Administrative Tools and then open DHCP Expand the columns until you see a folder called reservations open it then right click in there you will get a list of options click on new reservation then fill in the details you will need the MAC address of the AP. I would highly recommend you give it a desctiption. I have been in schools before where the tech does not do this and its very confusing. PM me if you need any help

That command does not work on my server grep -i ldap /etc/services

I have sorted the port number. It is running on 389
