our script creates usernames [intake Year][inital Firstname][Middle Inital][surname] the OU structure needs to be Student [this can be named anything but a base OU] -- Year 00 [These need to be in the format Year XX] -- Year 01 -- Year 02 etc what happen if your students move form? if their letter is part of the username? do you store the UPN in the employee id in active directory?

I will start to document the whole process from end to end. With our script the is a prerequisite on the structure of AD regarding year groups etc.

Hi, we current have SIMS, Active directory and Moodle integrated. Here al little bit about how they are integrated. SIMS -> AD - we have a script in place that will auto create a student account over night after they have been placed on roll. We currently working on a way to allow heads of year to disable user account through SIMS.net. AD -> Moodle - we currently have moodle authenticate against active directory. Moddle <-> SIMS - we have moodle pulling student course information from SIMS.net. We have just created a plugin for moodle to display the students time table.

By default teachers have access to there own marksheets. In AM7 you need to add the course to the marksheet, this will then allow the HOD and supervisor access, to check who has access you need to look in course manager under the course. You need to include the year group in the marksheet, then whoever has access as defined in the pastrol system will have access to it.

this line will give you the sAMAccountName without the "." $email = Replace(objUser.Get("sAMAccountName"),".",""))

this is off there website, it an offer from tsb ParentPay - News but give you an idea of £200 plus £1 per pupil per year plus transaction charges. For a example secondary school £200 plus £1600 = £1800 per year not including transaction charges. I don't know if this includes cash top up machines (for student who don't have internet access) etc

I have a vbscript pulls all the information needed for user creation (including home folder creation) from sims.net, this can then runs as a scheduled task every night, so when admin staff enrol a student their account will be ready the next day. the script create users in the format [intake year][firstname initial][middle initial][surname] this normally stops the need for numbers at the end of the username. Plus it has the added benefit of putting all the information into AD for moodle to integrate with SIMS.net

We are running 1.9 moodle but it's hosted on LAMP but we have integrated with SIMS.net Database which is running on SQL Server 2005 (ie pulls timetable course etc from sims.net)

Are you trying to copy a value form one field to another? if so try Sheets("examples2").Range("B3").Select = _ Sheets("WHAT EVER THIS CALLED").Range("C33").value Sheets("examples2").Range("C3").Select = _ Sheets("WHAT EVER THIS CALLED").Range("D33").value

AFIK Sql Server 2005 runs on port 1427 We have 2000 running on 1433 and 2005 on 1427

I dont think so. There is a semi quick way, but only if you are using the built in groups and haven't created custom ones. There is a standard spreadsheet that comes our with every sims release showing all built ins groups and there permissions. All you would need to do is take a screen shot of the group showing the users.

Hi Carol, I have created a moodle block which displays the student or staff timetable. it shouldn't be hard to pull attendance or assessment data, i will be looking into this next.

Hi David, we currently have integration between sims.net and active directory. I have put in place a script that checks all students against AD, if the student doesn't have an account it will create them one. We are currently packaging up our scripts, so we can release them with a howto on integrating SIMS.net and moodle.

I had this issue, just copy sims.ini from any working machine and paste it into the c:\windows\directory on your citrix server.

I've got the documentation but haven't done it.

I have a few. when will uniservity be able to write back to sims? when will there be single sign on with the schools domain ie AD intergration? As these were promised to use months and months ago and they have yet to appear and so we dumped uniservity and stayed with moodle. When will the forums act like problem forums (text formatting is rubbish) Ask questions from a technical point of view not a usability one. Have you signed up yet?

You should be able to do this with vbscript. i think microsoft vbscript centre should have one to do this.

when you generate the html link are you including target="_blank" in the a href tag?

Our LEA pointed us in the direction of a sims report to display teacher class lists with a given class code. I added the option to print per subject. If you look on capita support User Posts -> File Sharing -> Download Item 529 is the report.

We have successfully been able to import our OCR Results now, the underlying issue was a invalid header in the OCR results file. This WASN'T a capita issue, I would like to apologise to capita and our LEA support team for the comments made above as they were unjustified given the underlying issue.

We are still unable into our OCR results due to a problem that could or could not be related to base data. Capita have looked at our installation and can't see anything wrong but apparently a Business Analyst has been assigned but can't put any time on is as "it doesn't look good". I am having to wait until tomorrow for other exam organiser people to come in to look at our data as there all on holiday today. CAPITA why let support people charged with looking after exam organiser go on holiday during the two exam period????? I am not holding out any hope of OCR import successfully on wednesday, this will make us unable to provide information about our school results to media, county etc. NOT GOOD!! CAPITA Pull your finger out and sort this problem!

Tahnks Phil, I going through our LEA at the moment, OCR have admitted there was a problem with the files but didn't say was the problem was.

No, but we have done the Exam Embargo Patch

Hi Phil, We have imported on the server this stop the OLE provider error. But the issue we have is E1 on during the import in Exam Organiser. E1 is KB54889 - E1 Error when importing results - Examinations Organiser The resolve the above is says to Right click the series and refresh basedata and import the missing element. The problem we are having is that all the elements are ticked already. But still failing during the import. Any ideas?
