Hi all, We host our own SLG which is generally fine. However, I've been completely flumuxed by this one today. I have provisioned a new member of staff on SLG in the usual manner (through SIMS and then the batch file on the server), but this particular user doesn't have access to any of the web parts - none of them! Just a whole heap of grey boxes: Now, this member of staff isn't a full time employee (they work at an associate school) so is only registered in SIMS with very basic information. Is there something in their account on SIMS that needs to be filled in before access will be granted in SLG? Any pointers will be heeded and much appreciated. Cheers, Will

Maybe they can host the World Cup there in 2022

You could exclude the IP address from your DHCP scope and set the server IP address manually (static).

We're moving to KMS in school next week and we'll only have ~350 machines!

I don't think it was. The converted water tower was in Central London. - - - Updated - - - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2390446/The-curse-Grand-Designs-Owners-storey-water-tower-featured-TV-knock-2million-asking-price.html

I am looking at the bigger picture - you know, the one that includes the time before Murdoch started killing football.

You do know that football existed before 1991 don't you?

Surely no trickier around corners than fibre?? I wouldn't be installing it myself, so it comes down to, in part, what is cheaper per metre.

Cat6a is 100m

Cheers dude, appreciate the input. I was also looking for a way of freeing up ports in the core switch and allowing for some expansion in the server room as nearly all cat5e ports are being used. Point 4 was the reason I was looking at the NETGEAR - it's a full 24x 10GbE switch so wouldn't need replacing for future backbone upgrades. Wanted to avoid Netgear to be honest, but they seem to be the only guys selling full 10GbE switches at a reasonable/affordable price point - which was one of the drivers behind investigating this project.

Well spotted!

Not too far - halfway down the corridor 40-50m - I'll get our cable guy to confirm that though! That HP switch looks like it can support Cat6e 10Gb RJ45 - cheers for that

I did have a look at fibre, but the transceiver for the core switch alone was too costly. HEWLETT PACKARD HP X130 10G SFP+ LC SR Transceiver (JD092B) - www.misco.co.uk Then you would need a fibre transceiver for the new HP 2920. I don't think my budget would stretch far enough.

Hi folks, We have an HP A5500-48G-EI core switch in our comms room, however we recently (couple of years) moved all of our servers into a separate room due to overheating and space issues. At the moment we have Cat5e points in the server room and they all run back individually to the comms room and into the core switch. I am currently looking at ways of improving the infrastructure of our network and want to install a switch in the server room and have a 10Gb link over Cat6 between that switch and the core switch in the comms room. For the HP A5500-48G-EI core switch, am I right in thinking that I need to buy one of these to enable a 10Gb cat6 input? - JG535A HP 5500/5120 2-port 10GBASE-T Module - Lowest Price Hardware In the server room I was thinking about a Netgear M7100-24X 24 port 10Gb-BaseT switch (ideal world and offers ful 10Gb server backbone upgrades) or a Netgear M5300-28G 24 port 1Gb with 2x 10Gb built-in. Can anyone see any holes with this plan? Is that module my only option for the HP core switch? Cheers in advance...

I would switch Sterling out to the left for the Uruguay match. Their first choice right back is suspended, so we should unleash the pace of Sterling against the stand-in. Drop Welbeck for Lallana on the right, Sturridge in the middle with Rooney just behind. There's potential for a lot of fluid movement and switching positions between those four to give the ageing Uruguayan defence something to worry about.

There was absolutely zero controversy in the goal line technology decision - just Jonathan Pearce being an absolute belmer and not understanding what happened. Honduras were horrible to watch at times. The sooner they are out of this tournament, the better.

And no more Link2ICT!!

I'm sure if the OP is still struggling with this 6 years on he'll be very grateful to you

You got a source for the original post? Be interested to see what he's said.

Colmers have just moved to RM.

Awesome, cheers dude. I had actually just done that after doing a little more reading up on it. I'm always a bit wary of playing around with DNS though so am glad for the reassurance of others.

Can anyone chime in on this one? I'm holding off manually creating the lookup zones on the secondary DNS server until someone can shed any light? Cheers, Will

No worries mate. PM me whenever you like.

That was one of the contributing factors in leaving. We are now on 50mb with an onsite Smoothwall and it's never been noticeably slow. We can filter YouTube to certain groups of students and PCs, we can enforce YouTube for Education for all other students, we can allow full access to YouTube for staff, we can open up access to specific videos to students if they need it, we can limit the bandwidth used by YouTube traffic to whatever we chose (30mb at the moment) which is helpful in keeping the internet up and running smoothly when our media techs are uploading videos. The money saved on going for 50mb as opposed to 100mb from Link2ICT covered the cost of the Smoothwall, but we also have all the benefits stated above and many many many more.

That's not really addressing the point I made! Weird assumption to make, but hey if it supports your viewpoint then why let that worry you Twitter apps don't use push notifications unless someone mentions you in a tweet or sends you a DM, AFAIK. So it's fairly irrelevant whether you site has a twitter feed or widget anyway. My only point was that having a school app installed on your phone would enable said school to alert you with a push notification - that's all.
