That's worth knowing, thanks!

Not that I'm aware of, the Self Enrollment bit doesn't come on until 1st December: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/cloud-services/142411-office-365-proplus-free-staff-1st-dec-2014-a.html

Using the new version of Kerboodle is a breeze compared to managing the old one! There can only be one Administrator for it though (if I remember rightly) and you need to be "invited" to be that administrator by a teacher. Took a little bit of working out, but we got there.

So if you enable the debug info, what is the underlying detail behaind the error and what OS are you running on? What version of Moodle are you using too? https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Available_update_notifications#Unable_to_fetch_available_updates_data_-_unexpected_cURL_error

When I update plugin at the moment, I just download, unzip and upload to Moodle. This is going to sound a pretty daft question, but cURL and php-curl are installed on your server?

Went through the site recently and I decided it must be 11.4, any after 11.4 have the following underneath:

Been looking for the notes I made but can't find them now, so I will go back on what I said and admit I might be wrong. I am sure that I've seen a warning somewhere about it though, so if I find it I will post it up!

Not even exam aspects and result sets. That's why they recommend deleting all assessment marksheets which use Exam Aspects prior to results day.

I was just going by what was in the Subscription section of the Webportal which seems to list 2 Lexia products, but maybe it's just one. Will double check with the member of staff on Monday and see what we are actually testing.

Nope, the embargo doesn't apply to any Aspects/Result Sets in Assessment unfortunately.

Hi all We're going to be testing Lexia next half term and I'm curious as to how others use Lexia. Is it something which you install and configure or do you just point people in the direction of the website? If it's something you install, how do you get around the profile deployment issue within Lexia Core5? The only way I can think of at the moment is either writing a small vbscript or using GPP to copy on login. All advice and opinions greatly recieved.

Realise it's still a little way off but with half term approaching, it won't be long before I need to start considering our renewal order for the Student Advantage. Any word on whether we can switch or we need to stick with it @jamesbmarshall?

I cloned using HTTPS when I was doing our Moodle setup on Ubuntu, might work a bit easier then the git protocol if your having issues: From memory it was: sudo -i cd /opt export http_proxy=http://myproxy:port/ export https_proxy=http://myproxy:port/ git clone https://github.com/moodle/moodle.git My notebook is at work so can't check to see whether I did anything else at the moment.

That's good news then! I'm happy.

I'm pretty disappointed they aren't doing an official release for the Nexus 4. I don't want a bigger phone, I'm happy with the NExus 4 and there seems little point in upgrading to a Nexus 5 if that is going to be dropped from updates next year!

It's specified in the CIDA Course Specification which is a pain:

Is this CIDA? (spotted from the screenshot it is now!) I don't think we've got that far this year, last year though it worked fine for us with Java 6 installed, someone else on here had problems with Java 7 installed though - what version of Java are you using and could you test installing Java 6 on a machine to see if that resolves it? Will see if I can find the thread... Edit: Here's the other thread, different error but I'm guessing the same/similar fault: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/web-development/128646-java-applet-error-code.html A bit more googline seems to suggest you might need to look at .java.policy configuration to grant additional permissions for Java to access the files system - not looked much further then that at the moment however.

Probably not converting the Historical data, but you could create a new version within your Gradeset and update the grades to reflect what you then want to achieve. Then going forward, staff will enter with the new grades but all the all data will still be available.

Sounds daft, however if your concerned why not leave your current V5 install as is, setup/configure/use V7 and then either shutdown and keep the V5 server for emergancies in case you need to restore a backup or atleast until you have chance to test the backups with V7? Veeam licencing is quite flexible allowing you to install mutliple copies as long as you don't exceed the Socket count your licenced for (and what I've done recently when moving the Server across from 2008 to 2012 so I could backup/restore Dedup volumes in 2012).

No, when someone comes and says that Flash Player wasn't working on their machine, then I went and ran the Flash Player Uninstall Tool first, tried that and if it still didn't work ran this: Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled

I've deployed using the MSI for the last 2/3 years now without any major issue. there was a problem at the start where previous versions didn't get uninstalled correctly and that required a bit of messing around using the MSI Cleanup Tool and the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall Tool to clean it up and then it deployed ok after that. I've never used the upgrade part of the GPO, I also tell it to immediately uninstall the old before adding the new MSI (and leave the MSI hagging around for a bit to make sure they all get done properly)

I'm guessing this is the sort of thing you'll need to configure Blogs - Exchange Team Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs or http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000542.htm - what the range/ip address will be, I'm not sure. Might be the FMS client machine or it might be the server.

Just curious - does this work in a Terminal Server environment as well or does it need the other agent?

Well it was a reasonable excuse to test that my backups worked anyway and it didn't take that long using Veeam. I didn't think I was doing anything out of the ordinary. I've been through today on the server and unapproved a lot of Superseeded updates and quite a few for Windows XP as we are down to the last couple of machines now, but haven't ventured as far as trying to reimport the CSA updates again yet. It seems it was caused because importing them causes WSUS to revalidate the downloaded updates (after 5 days it still hadn't manage to reconcile them because it kept hitting a timeout), but yet the Server Cleanup Wizard runs without a hitch. Just pretty annoying as otherwise I quite like the setup and leave it aspect of it. Might try importing them again next week.

Hi All Just curious as to what maintenance people carry out on WSUS? I have a script which reindex's the database once a month, and another that automatically runs the Server Cleanup Wizard. Despite that, after importing September's Microsoft CSA XP packages, I managed to kill the WSUS server completely which my google-fu only turns up an unhelpful suggestion that I have too many updates in the WSUS database.... So now I'm trying a restore before I just wipe out wSUS completely and rebuild the whole damn lot. Does anyone carry out any other maintenance on WSUS? Before importing the CSA XP Packages, WSUS always worked without a hitch.
