Hi All, What's the best practice nowadays for to do a Win 10 Build and deploy across your school/college? Is is WDS? SCCM? InTune? We currently use a WDS server and I need a fresh Win 10 image with MS Office 2021. However before I go through this process I am wondering if I am wasting my time and should be looking to do it another way...... Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a free partition tool that will enable me to move a recovery partition? Or does anyone know of a trick to do this? I want to increase the C Drive disk space but cannot as the recovery one is at the end. Picture attached explains it. Thanks

Hi Simon, I have sent enquiry via website - I am away from the 18th August however. Thanks Kind regards Andy

Could you please contact me regarding the Bodet system Thanks Andy Hetherington

Hi Are you still having issues with this? I have done this recently with no issues. Can share with you what we did.

Dear All, Has anyone migrated from SQL 2012 to SQL 2016 for SIMs? I am interested to know if this has any affect on performance, end user experience post upgrade. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks Kind regards

Dear All, Has anyone got experience of using the above package in their school/college? We are looking at this to replace our FMS system. It is pricey though. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks Kind regards

@minimoo - thanks for the update - sounds promising - my staff will be very happy if this cures the issue.....

Thank you all for your replies. Has anyone gone through the steps of performing this setup? If so would they like to share their experiences and how they overcome login problem - reset sysman password etc.... Thanks

Hi All, I am installing SQL 2012 Express on a test machine so I can restore a SIMs backup to. Question - where do I find DBAttach to install? Does anyone know which product it is installed under? Thanks Kind regards

I too have been having untold amounts of issues - I wasn't sure if it was something our end or not but am leaning towards the Summer update being the culprit.......we have had issues with Cover not displaying for certain days - crashes with Transaction Roll back . Single Sign on not working and then the next day it works. Staff complaining SIMs is slow when it never used to be. I wonder if other institutions are experiencing the same issues?

Yes Capita have released a Patch and they do state that this will clear any Home page configurations for all users

I too get a similar error - it gives Value 67 instead of 55???!!! I logged it with Capita yesterday - await their reply.

Hi All, I have done a quick search on this before posting - I have also logged a support case - but Capita seem to use System Manager 6 which I was told is not supported (at least I think I was told this.....). However my query - how do I find out what permissions are required to edit/add a new group and how do I go about manipulating this..... I want to do 2 separate things. I want to allow staff "Read Only" access to Cover Manager I want to allow staff access to InTouch to be able to send SMS messages to students/staff Is all this achievable in System Manager or somewhere else in SIMs? Thanks Kind regards Andy

Hi, Last October Apple introduced Zero Touch Enrolment (https://www.apple.com/education/docs/DEP_Guide.pdf) if you purchased the iPads since then you should have been offered this via the reseller - the iPads would then be configured with all the Apple accounts and relevant Apps that you specify and the individual end user E-Mail addresses prior to being shipped to you. If you haven't opened them all up yet then maybe you can ask your reseller to do this for you? HTH Andy
