Hostname comes back as our SIMS server name. Had a quick nosey around, under current processes in Activity Monitor, the 3 processes currently accessing the Solus3 database are.... .Net SqlClient Data Provider, but they are running under my administrator login rather than SA

Well, for the time it changed last night the application recorded next to it is .Net SqlClient Data Provider using the login SA - probably doesn't say a lot.

Well, the last 2 times my database recovery model has changed, Solus3 has been deploying an update. 1st time it was deploying Solus 3.9, 2nd time (tonight) it was pushing out patch 19098.... That's the only link I've got for it changing, but yet it pushed out the SIMS Spring Upgrade before I put the patch on and it didn't change it and it was the 3rd attempt to push out 3.9 that it changed the recovery model.

I have a full asset register which has details of the asset, PO number (if I was able to locate one) and initial purchase cost (again if I was able to locate it for some of the older kit around). The school has an asset register too which records the depreciation atc as required by the academy, so I provide the details to update this when asked, such as change in location, disposal and additions. Probably not the most efficient way, but it works ok at the moment...

Saying that, our database somehow changed from Simple to Full for no apparent reason which I didn't realise until we were having some performance problems and I started looking at it in more detail. No idea when it changed but it was definitely Simple when it was migrated across.

I did it the other week anyway and just took the plunge and haven't had any problems yet (touch wood). The domain is staying as it is, I'm just bringing in a new server and transfering the data/domain across to it with a new windows install.

Does this help with part of it? http://www.edugeek.net/forums/web-development/128646-java-applet-error-code.html We use Serif and I have some instructions on ym desk at work, but we're still stuck with Java 6 at the moment here for various reasons.

Hi all We've just got Minecraft EDU which we are planing to use initially as a lunch time club and wondering how others manage the server side of it - do you stick it on a vm/dedicated box and if so what sort of box (windows/linux/other?) or just have the teacher launch and manage it from their PC? Interested in views and opinions!

Don't suppose anyone has any ideas about how I can achieve this?

Anybody able to advise on this one? Assisting with an upgrade at one of our Primary Schools and fixing a few things as I go along. At the moment the DNS is just in a primary zone file, which has been working fine. I was planning to move this to AD integrated for the domain instead of a primary zone. It's a single DC at the moment, I'm replacing it with a shiney new server and then getting rid of the old DC. So now for the questions.... Moving to AD Integrated DNS is a good idea, right? Assuming it is, I am guessing that it's a simple matter of changing it from Primary to Primary AD Integrated? _msdcs is still a sub folder of school.domain at the moment, which i think means it was likely upgraded from Server 2000 if I've read up rightly. Should I be recreating this as a primary zone and delegating _msdcs out? Anything else that I've missed in considering this? Opinions appreciated as always!

Hi All Has anyone any experience with NEC interactive projectors that they could share? In particular the NEC UM280Xi or the NEC UM280Wi? I'm looking at a couple and they seem pretty cheap from various places when you compare them to the likes of Epson which has me intrigued but cautious at the same time. Tales of good and bad appreciated! Thanks

If you've just removed the E3 Faculty licence and replaced it with Pro Plus faculty, you won't have an Office 365 licence allocated which will grant you a mailbox. You'll need to allocate something like an Office 365 E1 licence for Faculty as well as your Pro Plus Faculty which will grant you a mailbox licence.

This is one which I've been experimenting with which I'm tempted to put on for our staff in a few weeks, might help? I'm not an expert in papercut scripting so this is purely a bodge of 2 of papercuts scripts, but sounds like rather then multiple hooks, you just want a single hook with nested If then else? /* // Test if a user is in group called 'students'. if (inputs.user.isInGroup("students")) { // Add your action code here actions.log.debug("The user is in 'students' group."); } * Confirm jobs with a high number of pages * * Users printing jobs with many pages are asked via the client tool whether * they meant to print such a large document, giving them the opportunity to * cancel. The message is displayed in large red letters. This can be useful * for users who forget to enter a page range when printing and instead send * the whole document. */ function printJobHook(inputs, actions) { var LIMIT = 20; // Show message for jobs over 500 pages. /* * This print hook will need access to all job details * so return if full job analysis is not yet complete. * The only job details that are available before analysis * are metadata such as username, printer name, and date. * * See reference documentation for full explanation. */ if (!inputs.job.isAnalysisComplete) { // No job details yet so return. return; } if (inputs.user.isInGroup("Staff")) { if (inputs.job.totalPages > LIMIT) { /* * Job is larger than our page limit, so ask the user to confirm via * red warning message so we grab their attention. */ var message = "" + "This print job is over " + LIMIT + " pages. Please confirm the job." + ""; var response = actions.client.promptPrintCancel(message); if (response == "CANCEL" || response == "TIMEOUT") { // Cancel the job and exit the script. actions.job.cancel(); return; } // User pressed OK, so allow it to print - simply return taking no action. } } } I could be completely wrong and that is the point of multiple hooks in which case ignore me...

No problem, I'll start looking at it in more detail when I get my job list cleared.

@robjduk - this has cropped up as a need for me now, can I ask what you did in the end?

Turned out we didn't need core5, just Strategies. I ended up deploying the program out using GPO.

Will plan to try and do mine in Feb half term then, pleased it works and thanks for the hints about the powershell filter!

Think I'm about there, cheers @plexer!

There's a way to stop that - I think it's removing the address somewhere and then it separates the location and ratings so they can no longer leave reviews

Hi Is it possible to restrict the location a user can login to HAP, for example restricting the Administrator account to be able to login on an internal IP range only or denying an account from being able to login in some other way completely (that's easily alterable by modifying the config file in someway to remove the restriction)? Thanks!

Hi I want to create a CSR request for an IIS server with a SAN in it, however I can't see how is easiest to do it? I followed the IIS wizard it only allows me to create it with a single domain name. My googling is at a loss and I just seem to end up confused! Any help appreciated! Thanks

Thanks @jasonatpapercut, that'll do perfectly for the time being! Didn't realise it was as simple as using /all at the end. would be nice if there was a smaller compressed widget available like in the admin control panel or the Environmental Impact available per user in the login page detailed here Environmental Impact but the dashboard will be fine for my purposes at the moment!

Not run it in anger, but I got the details from a friend in my old school who needed it to recover emails that went missing from someone's mailbox. In Exchange, go to Permissions > Admin Roles and create a new role (we called our School Ediscovery) and assign the following roles to it: Legal Hold Mailbox Import Export Mailbox Search MailboxSearchApplication and then assign it to your Admin account. I think you need to sign out and sign in again (might take up to 30 mins to update properly if I remember rightly). Then if you go to Compliance Management > in-place edsicovery and hold, create a new search, fill in the name/description, select the mailboxes (can only see doing this one by one, I've never got the filter to work on anything in brackets), leave it on include all content, ignore in-place hold (as we don't have that licenced either) and click finish. Wait for the search estimate to complete and then to the left of the refresh button is the Export to PST button which lets you download the search results and in the quick test I run made a new PST file for each mailbox. If you manage to do it I'd be interested in the results

This has been on my list to look at but never got round to it. An experiment today suggests that it is possible, if you use ediscovery, select all the mailboxes you want to archive and run the search, once the search has completed you can use the export to pst option and then download a pst for each mailbox. I did test this in 2 minutes, with 2 mailboxes that were empty (my 2 test accounts) so it might work it might not. Hopefully in Feb half term I might get round to looking at it properly. Since the summer, I just left the A2 licence allocated and removed all the student advantage licences to allocate to the new intake. It's somethign that I really need to sit and sort soon though so if you do sort anything I'd be interested to know what path you take.
