You could be cheeky and use gmail for archiving , we are looking to sync AD to both office 365 and Google services , users use office 365 and we run mailbox sync from office 365 to gmail accounts. As long as you don't set Gmail to delete users when removed from active directory you should be able to keep your archive on Gmail. To stop users signing in to email accounts just remove permission and allow only sync admin account access.

Having had the same issue I found out our 6 year old boards have USB ports on the module on the back of the board just we power the board via the serial port still and direct connect via USB with 64bit version of the activ driver from support site. Might be worth checking you don't have USB B port(printer cable) on the module on back of board.

Yeah its Electronic Components from Rapid - the Electronic Parts Specialist

I always use Rapid but I'm lucky to live next door to it but they always seem to have everything I need .

My packing was perfect size and my polar arrived in perfect condition thanks . Look forward to my sweets arriving now

Its will be a defective DLP chip , 100's of defective chips were made , we have found almost 50% of our first gen Casio laser projectors have had the same issue, Casio have swapped then out onsite free of charge but takes about 3 days for engineer .

The solution I'm looking at is putting a NAS box in a school down the road with Internet connection , something like a 8Tb QNAP box and they do the same with us. As we both use LEA Internet connection they are sorting the external and internal network access for us.

With the serial port connected you have to power cycle the switch , you will have a connection and some options to press a key for few seconds to stop it booting , there is a way then to view current config file without the username and password via CLi . I believe in past we exported config to a compact flash card via the slot, reset switch and setup from scratch then imported configuration maybe even edited the config on the card , sorry cant remember exact details, was years a go as it now has been replaced with HP wireless switch

I agree , price is too high with current new prices with direct warranty options

I'm in Essex and use Computer Recycling : GB Asset Solutions Ltd they are happy to take any item even old tvs and toners.

That is a high end samsung model with smart TV and 3D , what will you be using it for ? TV? films? games? Sky? 3D ? I currently have Buy LG 47LN575V LED HD 1080p Smart TV, 47" with Freeview HD online at John Lewis which is great for Sky HD and looks lovely with ps3 games/blu ray. Its still a smart tv but I find BBC iPlayer really handy as saves me turning on the ps3 to load iPlayer now. Voice control works ok nothing special but it does what I need it to do and with John Lewis I get a 5 year warranty.

Thank you , it will be good surprise on my return home as I'm travelling home from France tomorrow but still made point of checking Edugeek when I found free WiFi so might find some tomorrow.

Yay I won , I would like to pick number 15 please

Other things to look could be antivirus scanning or UAC when copying which might explain system process if not running as administrator

How are you copying the files? Tried xcopy, robocopy or similar via command prompt to see if faster? Maybe try older raid drivers if you have latest one in case bug introduced. Reason to have write caching disabled? Would think that would give you big performance increase if enabled. I find using a different program to copy files better. I use teracopy on windows server 2008R2 with no issues so might work for 2012 but it uses its own file buffers rather than windows ones and reports more accurately the copy speed.

I'm hoping only 15 people entered so we all win

Looking forward to seeing what prize I might win think the biscuit tin would be good for our office as it has red walls but I wouldn't mind a copy of GTA 5 too..

I use Comodo too and never had any issues , I purchase mine from here . Buy Wildcard Certificate | Comodo Premium Wildcard SSL Certificates I've only needed the basic one at £99 a year. You will need to add your wildcard to your exchange server so external people can access it via https , you can also add internal self published certificate if you wish internal users to connect over https. What I do is have copy of DNS internally pointing internally to exchange server ie mail.domain.com goes to internal IP that way you can setup outlook to work internally and externally with the server with mail.domain.com

I'm still using ISA 2006 if you have old server with it on and it works fine with Sharepoint 2013 and users don't require to put in Domain before their username. If you can't have ISA server then you could look at Forefront Unified Access Gateway and Forefront Identity Manager 2010

You can download but you have to add new keys for esxi 5 and 5.1 which have different keys. You do however get 30 or 60 day trial till you can sort upgrade license but the cost for you to get essentials assuming you have under 192gb RAM per host will be high if lots of processors I believe so you many want to consider windows server 2012 datacenter edition and convert to HyperV if option for you

I see , that would be good point. Sorry wasn't able to help. I wish I had that much RAM and cores per CPU. Only 6 cores with 2 CPU here.

Do you have ESXi Essentials ? if not you can get a free version of ESXi 5 https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi5&lp=default&tstart=0 and you just insert the disc and upgrade from 4.1 free to 5.1 for free. If you have ESXi Essentials you will need contract which will give you key to upgrade the free version. I'm on ESXi 5.0 and I have server 2012 running having upgraded from 4.0 free to 5.0 free version before last year buying the ESXi essentials for vCenter.

I've just been to Five Guys in Covent Garden , it was busy had to wait about 20 mins to get burger but they do take your order then you collect the burger when its ready meaning you have time to go and enjoy the free refills at the coke freestyle machine which is self service 100+ ( I had vanilla and cherry coke together followed by sprite raspberry and peach) combo of flavours and free monkey nuts to snack on. The idea is you pay for your basic burger ie , cheese, bacon or plain for a price. The toppings are then included with price regardless of how many you have think as about 20 options including the sauces. The burger was good and the fries are nice but the price was bit off putting but it is London. £8.50 for double bacon cheese burger, £5 for a large fries but there was enough to share between two of us compared with the states the burgers and portions seem smaller but might just be my imagination . I would go there again and my tip would be to make use of the downstairs seating area as it was empty while everyone was looking or waiting for seats upstairs.

Another option is to install Novasatellite which allow you to export from live system and work offline then import back in when onsite. My data manager works offline at home then comes in when she has finished timetable and imports it .

Another vote for Teachers Webfolder and Mychild at school , works well and doesn't need any training.
