  1. After many years of not using it I decided to give fog project another go, I have it in two schools now and it is working really well, very simple interface, deploys using captured syspreped images like the old days, has application deployment built in. Built 2 machines in a classroom the other day while students were sat at them 4 minutes and they were logged into the clean build. And it is free and can deploy printers and keep track of users logging into the machines. Adobe pre baked in my image but also deployable, order is important with Adobe it doesn't like installing after office so my deploy removes office installs Adobe then installs office.
  2. Thank you, I could not see how to easily edit it on the new layout.

  4. I have got a guide I wrote for setting up a sims server locally if you still want it.
  5. Did not consult IT, and did not try a trial, but apparently it is the most important software in the world and can not be lived without.
  6. They do but it is a list of 2650 urls, which is a very excessive number of allowed urls which I fear will cause a significant slow down of the filter, are current list is about 200 addresses.
  7. Hi fellow IT people. I am currently having a discussion about a piece of software purchased by one of our Primary schools that relies on Vimeo for hosting. I am under the belief that Vimeo should not be used withing a school environment but am assured that this software is used in "1000s" of schools, can any one let me know if they use the software in question and how to got over the filtering issues please? Software is Ruth Miskin Training from ruthmiskin.com. There tech support suggested I white list 2650 individual urls to allow the site to work without un filtering Vimeo itself. Many thanks and keep up the good work. John
  8. lol. Very odd as they are still running on http:// and the link points to http so no certificate to error.

  11. If it is the hardware you are worried about preform a physical to virtual conversation of the server and run it as a virtual machine when required.
  12. If they are mounted to a tile it is often easier to undo the nuts from the top and drop the bracket down.
  13. VPN is the cheapest simplest answer, just be sure to use a random server name not vpn.schoolname.sch.uk, these address get constant attacks.
  14. Worked a treat thank you very much.
  15. Still no reply from the company, seems the are not to concerned about past customers, something to bear in mind if you use there software.
  16. 20 years in IT education sector helping others on here, and never once had to ask for help until meeting this software. We have recently absorbed a school which used this software prior to joining our multi academy and due to a recent malware attack the installed files have become encrypted with no backup. Of cause nobody on site has a copy of the original install files and we are now no longer in contract as we have moved to different software, so no help from them. We no longer use the software but do need to access the old data. Does anyone have a copy of the res32000 installed directory they would kindly donate to help a fellow techie? I don't know the version number all I can see is the filenames, but at this stage I am happy to try anything.
  17. netbook with battery removed but charger included. No other use for them.

  19. There are issues when using sql 2019, but they seemed to be resolved by running sql 2019 in compatibility mode for 2016.
  20. They do get transferred from the master database to the sims/fms database but I am not aware of where you would be able to see them.
  21. It is only required if new users have been created or passwords have been changed. For FMS it should be something like Import-Module SQLPS -DisableNameCheckingInvoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance -Username "sa" -Password -Query "exec fms.sims.db_p_transfer_login" where the "fms" in "fms.sims.db_p_transfer_login" is the name of the fms database.
  22. as above but using powershell to also transfer the sims users usernames and passwords Import-Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance -Username "sa" -Password -Query "exec sims.sims.db_p_transfer_login" Start-Sleep -s 30 Then backup as above or still in powershell cmd.exe /c "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SIMS2014\MSSQL\Binn\DbAttach.exe" /BACKUP /AUTO /SERVER= /DATABASE=SIMS /USER=sa /PASSWORD= /PATH=c:\SIMS.BAK
  23. Create a new column with a semi colon in it for each row, in next column combine the email and semi colon. highlight the column and copy then paste in outlook to/cc/bcc line. bcc to hide addresses.
  24. As far as I am aware UEV is dead in the water, Microsoft have stopped working on it and pulled all access the the online template gallery. There seems to be no replacement planned for non Azure domains. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
  25. For downloads set to "Basic" and "Create a folder for each user under the root path" then in the root path set it to "\\servername\homefolder$" it will do the rest for you. Hope that puts you on the right path.
