I can't help but think Nados's are missing a marketing trick at the moment but are probably just sat quietly thanking their lucky stars it's not them in trouble.....

I dropped my daughter off last night and was going to pick up a KFC on the way home but it was shut. Had to drive out of my way to the nearest McD's for a chicken wrap instead but it just wasn't the same...

Upgrading Server 2003 R2 to Server 2012
AJWhite1970 replied to RichB's topic in Windows Server 2000/2003
As far as I can remember, no you can't as 2003 was only 32bit and 2012 was only 64bit so you can't in place upgrade it -

Baywatch A "leave your brain on the hook as you enter" but surprisingly funny movie which sends itself up the entire way through with several laugh out loud moments. Was expecting cheese, actually got very funny cheese

A light dusting up on the hill I live at overnight but nothing once I'd reached civilization back down with the valley dwellers... I'm meant to be refereeing today and tomorrow, fields looked frozen solid as I went past so hoping it's PP'd until after half term

As others have said, pre-terminated custom length fibre is plan A Plan B would be a pair of Unifi PowerBeam AC Gen2 dishes which should give you about a 500/600mb connection between the two buildings, can be purchased for about £100 each, the management software is free. https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/powerbeam-ac-gen2/

Help needed re linking two sites through the grid
AJWhite1970 posted a topic in How do you do....it?
I'm running round in circles trying to work out what's needed for this job, can anyone point me in the right direction? Basically I am at School A, I also have school B that is a totally separate entity, both connected to SWGfL. School A and School B operate totally separate network systems and will continue to do so. At School A I have a 10.4.4.x network and a Cisco 2911 router, port G0/1 is my default gateway (10.4.7.254) and port G0/2 is unused (but about to be upgraded to a Juniper in a different project...) At School B they have a 10.4.80.x network and a Juniper SRX300 router, port ge-0/0/0 is their default gateway (10.4.83.254) and ports ge-0/0/1 to ge-0/0/4 are unused. I'm reliably informed that through SWGfL I can extend my LAN to school B and School B can extend their LAN to School A but both schools would use isolated switching at the other end so the two networks on each site are not physically joined in any way. We would therefore end up with some of my devices at School B (biometric scanners if you are interested, not workstations or servers) and School B would have similar on my site. The whole project is to allow real time Sixth Form student registrations and SIMS write back when they are on the other site as we run a collaborative sixth form and registers are a mess.... In some discussions, it appears I will need a new IP addressing scheme at each remote site and other discussions it appears that I can use my internal IP addresses at their site (but on my isolated switches) and SWGfL so something clever with routing and firewall rules. So if you are still with me, what on earth should I be asking for from SWGfL? I'm in discussions with their tech team but going nowhere fast. With all the MAT's and similar merging all over the place I can't be the only school that's looking to do this? The whole WAN thing is a bit above my knowledge base so want to make sure what I request is right. Any advice greatly appreciated. Andrew -
As @3s-gtech has already suggested, PatchCleaner is going to be your friend to reclaim your missing space if it's the installer directory that is taking up the space PatchCleaner - safely clean your windows installer directory | homedev - software development out of the box

I'd start with running a portable version of WinDirStat from a USB stick on one of the HDD's, that will show you where your space has gone. How are you deleting old profiles? Via File Manager or using DelProf2.exe? There is also this batch file (right click, run as administrator) that will clean out temp folders from live profiles cd /D C:\Users REM ?-Clean Temp Folder? for /D %%a in (*.*) do DEL /F /S /Q "%%a\AppData\Local\Temp\*.*" Hope that helps and apologies if that was an egg sucking lesson Andrew

"The BETT show is emblematic of much that EdTech gets wrong"
AJWhite1970 replied to ICTLady's topic in BETT 2026
I spent the first two days of BETT on a mission, had a shopping list of new stuff I wanted, had a list of current suppliers to see, friends to meet up with and didn't leave until 6pm. On the Friday I went in just to look round and I agree with what has been said above, it's just too big and too much of a sensory overload to just aimlessly walk round and by lunchtime I'd already had enough. By utter chance while up in the cheap seats at the top end I came across a new internet filtering company that looks well worth an investigation (and having spoken at length to the stand holder I have a beta version box coming on site in the next couple of weeks to play with...) but other than that I really can't think of anything that has stuck with me since I got back (even the free pens aren't ringing any bells!!) While BETT is invaluable to me as a means of looking at new solutions I know I already want and doing deals with companies I already use, I'm sure I've missed seeing at least half the stands that were there and I was there most of the week. And don't get me started on the layout with the big arenas slap bang in the middle, several dead ends and some pretty awful dead spots that some companies found themselves in... Saying that, see you next year -
Would make it as exclusive as a gold Blue Peter badge... I wear the blue "retro" lanyard pretty much every day as our staff lanyards are blue and no-one has ever noticed I wear the EduGeek one instead. The "yellow" lanyard is not wasted though and is connected to my referee whistle

You're using it? Mine is going in a glass display case next to my London 2012 coke bottle and my Prince Harry commemorative wedding coin to be seen next on Antiques Roadshow in 2045

[BBC News] Sky signals the end of the satellite dish
AJWhite1970 replied to newpersn's topic in General Chat
My closest neighbours had Sky Q installed and it was awful, lots of buffering and low res, they went back to a dish in under 4 weeks. And yes, we live a few miles past the back of beyond with at best a 5mb broadband connection on a good day downhill -
I don’t think there is, I certainly didn’t see one and tbh I don’t think that’s how they operate as their entire model is to keep their overheads low. Good to see you today, enjoyed our long chat and ideas exchange [emoji106]

You haven't fallen victim to the MS16-072 \ KB3163622 GPO issue by any chance? Although it's dated Summer 2016 it might be that it's suddenly decided to install? https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askds/2016/06/22/deploying-group-policy-security-update-ms16-072-kb3163622/ Caused lots of EduGeekers lots of problems when it first came out http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/171517-windows-update-3159398-issue.html

Hi I'm looking to replace my old 8 port KVM switch (vga and ps2 connectors) with a 16 port version that ideally comes with the ability to also view screens via an IP address/browser (for when I'm working on servers remotely and need to access the BIOS screens) Does anyone have any good recommendations for a replacement that they use? Ideally rack mounted but not essential. Cheers Andrew

We have several Ricoh WG-M1 video cameras which are small and compact and in 4 years of constant use have also proven to be PE teacher proof. We use ours for English Speaking and PE EPIP's
