This was recently liberated from my school for use at home (seeing as it's B grade and we dont need it any more having just moved over to 100% G grade coverage.) The AP is all set up and configured how i want using the RS-232 connection and Hyperterminal. The problem is that i cant get my wireless machine (my laptop) to connect to it. I can see it in netstumbler but not in the windows network connections dooda. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Joe

Teksys offer this solution but it is such a simple one that you dont need to pay a company extorsionate amounts of money just to set up webdav and give you a front end to open it in webfolder view. The important thing is that there is a little bit of CSS that tells the browser to open the link as webfolders view. Everytime i have tried to produce a front end for it in dreamweaver or similar it has never worked opening in webfolder view without this little bit of code in the CSS A { behavior: url(#default#AnchorClick); } The downside to it all is that it only works in internet explorer. But yeah...make sure that you have webdav installed and enabled. Set up the folders you want to publish with IIS basic authentication against AD and SSL encryption. The publishing path is the home folders share or shared file storage area on your fileserver, and providing NTFS permissions are set up right the user that authenticated will see only the folders they have acccess to. Make sure that you have set read, write, directory browsing and script source access (i'm not sure about that one but i couldnt access my .shtml's without it) set up on the IIS side of things. The only problem is when people start to open things directly from the webfolder instead of copying it to their local HDD first, it asks them to accept the SSL cert and authenticate all over again. But other than that it works well at my school and on my home network and i've never had any problems with it.

A {behavior: url(#default#AnchorClick);} FOLDER = "https://PATH TO SERVER/" TARGET = "_top" > Open in Web Folder View That will open in folder view...the essential things are that you use internet explorer and include the SYTLE tag detailing what to do with links.

webman, any chance i could have a copy of the "classic" ASP code please?

When you say "logged in" does that exclude authenticated to an SSL page?

Good god, i hope i'm not as stupid to let kids free access to reset AD passwords or i'd need to be shot!

Sorry my wording was unclear. I mean /change/ their password...not reset it.

Well that's enough to put me off it Someone suggested it, thought it only fair to check it out. Thanks anyway

Has anyone got any ideas about how kids could reset their own AD password from home through some sort of SSL enabled web front end? I know that I could set up the server admin pages, but that's for techies only so no use Thanks, Joe

Hah, that looks like what happens when HTML is created with MSWord Norphy

We have phased out all the old allied telesyn gear (usually hubs if i remember correctly) in favour of HP Procurve. There's an LEA owned Cisco switch on the SHUK line with VLANs on it for the separate IP Addresses we have on the community network that the LEA serves the internet on.

I can touch type in my own fashion, I have a website and I own 4 computers therefore I must be a geek (according to everyone I know!!) And oh yeah...I fix other people's computers :-| Main classification according to the ITCrowd... "Standard Nerds" but i prefer geek.

When the old network manager was working at our school there were all sorts of problems on the network. Mainly to do with roaming profiles being set up wrong and crippling the network. We had an external company come in to evaluate the network and one of the things that they found was that Dameware was eating 20% of the processor power on our PDC. I'd advise against it and stick with mstsc /console -v "machine name"

Apparently i foget to log in before doing stuff these days :|

Hey all, I've got a dvd of the sims folder from our old sims SQL server. I need to get into SIMS to get at some archived data out that wasnt moved onto CMIS when we migrated. When I try to run launcher i get the error "wing.dll missing" and then it closes launcher. We have managed to get it to run with SIMS.net in the past but it doesnt give you the reports that the office staff are asking for. I've been told that it is possible to get it to run on a stand alone machine but there has to be something wrong that i'm doing. I have made a fresh installation of sims common platform with all the modules and replaced the STAR and system folders as i was shown before, but it still dies. Anyone got any ideas or experience with getting sims to run on a standalone machine? Thanks, Joe

I looked at the home access solution (24 Hour School) that they are offering and realised that it's just webDAV with a "fancy" front end. It got replicated within a rather short amount of time. I think it's a shame that schools that have had a network capable of webdav and dont think about setting it up and instead outsource to companies like teksys willing to charge extorsionate (however that is spelt) amounts of cash for a solution so simple.

I've heard bad things about Teksys from other techies. The long and short of what I was being told was that they were a bit of a shoddy outfit and to avoid them at all costs.
