another problem with this god awful piece of software Error 2753: The file aware64bithelper.exe is not marked for installation. any ideas?

Thanks, will do now

This is just crazy now Deployed to a handful of windows 7 machines. None are working. Seems the smartboard tools exe file has gone in 11.3 and the only way to get the toolbar is (right-click on the tray icon / enable floating tools). Surprise surprise, drivers and smark ink still doesn't work after a reboot. Had a meeting with the IT manager and we are looking at alternatives now, to be honest, the software has NEVER worked properly. :EDIT: ahhh...seems the staff at Smart decided a rename would be a good idea. Floating Tools.exe is what brings the toolbar up! Time to start scripting again :-(

I have just rolled out 11.3 (did it this afternoon). Spent four hours writing an install script to cover all bases. unfortunately 11.3 it doesn't fix of the niggles. My installation routine puts smartboardtools, smartboard service and smartink shortcuts in the 'all users' startup folder. What a pathetic piece of software it is! I'll post my script on monday when im back in

Hi all, First off, I REALLY HATE Smart Notebook This has to be the WORST piece of software I think I have ever used anyway, we have deployed Notebook 11.1 to various XP and 7 machines. There are a host of issues such as Smart Board drivers not being detected on boot Smart Ink not loading properly Powerpoint not working correctly I can get around the first two issues, but not the Powerpoint one. The plugin is installed ok. The pens do write over the slides, BUT not correctly. When you pick up the red pen, it doesn't know you have done so. You have to open the little menu (bottom left) and select pen > red before it starts to write. It's the same with the eraser, you have to select it from the menu. any ideas?

The problem with Cloudflare is their free package offers no SLA and nowhere (that I can see) does it tell you how many DNS queries you are allowed per month DNSMadeEasy looks the best to me. $60 a year, 10 million queries a month, 100% SLA else 500% credit, 24/7 support!

Thanks everyone It's a .ac.uk I'm tempted to go with Janet as it's quick, easy and free. Just need to do some comparisons with say Amazon Route 53. Trying to get anything out of Amazon is a nightmare, they don't seem to want to talk to anyone....and their pricing calculator is a science!

Thanks... I've not worked here for very long so still getting to grips with the network. It's 10 years old and the external domain is the same as the internal one. Maybe I am over simplifying things, but isn't it just a case of finding out who registered our domain, sending them an export of our external dns records and getting them to do it all?

Hi all, We have an old Windows 2000 Server being used for external DNS. No idea why it was put in, seems silly that all requests go to this server, then back out again only to come in a second time. I'm 99% certain that most companies just use the company who they bought the domain from to do external DNS resolution. anyway, I've been tasked at getting rid of this server and moving all the records to an external company to manage. Has anyone done this before, I'd have thought it would be pretty simple? If so, can someone recommend me a good company. Assume everyone buys their domains from Janet? Would like to know how other schools, colleges, universities go about handling external DNS records. Thanks!
