External Support Technician - Bacon's College

HArdware is all HP Servers and switches. Software is Windows Server 2008 and windows 7 clients, all plain vainlla networks except one school which is cc4 (which already have plans in place to migrate away from) All the schools are within a 15 minute walk away except one which is a short bus ride or next tube station down.

It is indeed, it's quite a big part of the role. The good thing is that all our primary schools really value their ICT so all have pretty good networks which helps!

We don't really have London weighting as a separate figure, but the pay scales themselves are supposedly weighted to take into account the costs of living in London. So in nutshell, yes it's included

I have a simple script that changes an AD attribute for all the users in a specified OU. You could use that to change the setting, PM me and i'll email it over to you.

We've been using eclipse.net since last summer and we've had no end of problems with it. Speed hasn't really been that much of a problem (although I would only put it on a server that doesn't do too much else and has a reasonable spec) but its been a pretty buggy ride. The latest release appears to have fixed a lot of our problems but personally i'd recommend you wait for it to go through another couple of service releases before you consider taking a look at it.
