Yes same here! Thankyou for reporting this, it's sometimes difficult to tell if its an issue at our end or theirs!

Thankyou for this! Great help, worried it was just me.

Hi all, just checking in if anyone else has had this issue. A few months ago we ran into an issue with our FMS being unable to send email due to the way Outlook online authenticates SMTP. Basically, a patch was issued to fMS and the issue was fixed. Today, when sending a message via the FMS, we're getting an error message: "SIMS FMS Module Email to supplier (email address: failed. Trial has expired." Not sure what trial it is referring too, as we're using FMS's software from start to finish when it comes to email, there's no third-party software involved. Just wondered if anyone has seen this?

Here's what I did to bypass the issue, basically switching from Office365 to Google Workspace for this one account : 1. Go to 123-reg.co.uk and buy a cheap domain for the school, no hosting is required. Costs about £15. 2. Sign into Google Workspace (sign up if you haven't already, it's free for education). 3. Assign the domain, and verify, updating the MX records on the reg-123.co.uk site from the information on the Google admin page. 4. In the Google admin page for the domain, create a new user with an email address ending in the new domain. You also have to give them superuser privileges - I know annoying, but for us it's the only way to get past the SSO setup we have for our school - you might not need to. 5. Under Security on the admin.google.com page, turn on "Less secure apps". 6. Sign in with the new account and turn on IMAP via the gmail settings cog. Go to the accounts page for the account, then security. Turn on "2 Step Verification", with this on, you can now create an "App Password". 7. With the app password, I head over to FMS, and enter: Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com Port Number: 587 Use STARTTLS: YES REQUIRES AUTHENTICATION: YES USERNAME: PASSWORD: All sorted. Issues: The annoying thing with all of this is it means suppliers are going to get emails from a new/different email address than the one they're used to. I've set up a forwarding rule so any messages that do come in via the new account, automatically get forwarded to the old finance email account.

I've had a reply from EES today to say they think its a DLL file issue - "Following further investigation into this issue we believe we have identified the cause of this issue as being down to a fault with a 3rd party .DLL file utilised by FMS for email handling." I've replied asking if they even read the link I send them (from Microsoft) explaining that they've turned off the ability to sign into SMTP using basic authentication. I've also told them that I have since bought a new domain, assigned it to our Googe Workspace account service (verifying the MX records etc), and got the system working again. Google still allow basic authentication for their Workspace customers (not the free google service - just workspace).

Thanks for your help, I'll look into checking the configuration of our switch.

Thanks for your reply, I've attached a screenshot if it helps.

Hi all, I'm after some advice for our school CCTV server. Setup: Hardware: Dell R510, 8gb ram (on average 4gb used), 12TB set to raid 1 storage (so we get great write speed), two gigabit Nic's(only one is currently used to pull data from cameras) Software: Windows Server 2012, Luxriot Evo S Switches: Cisco 3750's Problem: The server and software works well and the ram, cpu doesn't seem to be straining under average load, but the video playback isn't as smooth as we'd like. The past few months I've been eliminating possible bottlenecks,which had led to my concluding its a network bandwidth issue. By my calculations, if I have 85 cameras feeding my server 4Mbps a second, I need at least 340Mbps of bandwidth. I obviously can't get that with a single gigabit connection (it seems to hit 200Mbps and not go any further, as that's a limit for gigabit connection). So my plan is to activate the other nic and have dual gigabit to help with the bandwidth load from all the cameras. The problem is, I'm not sure the best way to go about this: Should I team up the ports on the Cisco switch? Or should I have half my cameras use 10.110.100.x and the other have use 10.110.101.x? What do you guys think? Thanks for any advice you could give.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me. Our school has the Adobe CS4 Master collection, and we also have the Adobe Toolkit that will create small setup exe's. What I then do is, create one package for say Dreamweaver only, I then create another for Photoshop. Then theres a problem, when you actually try and install these packages, it wont install anything after you've installed the first package. I get no error messages as the toolkit creates silent installations only, and there is nothing in the event viewer. The reason why I want to create individual packages is so we can roll these packages one by one, and not flood our network with adobe installation requests. Any ideas?
