I found I could get 100MB with backup adsl, 2u server space in datacentre and penalty charges if internet down for 2k a year cheaper than the councils 30MB, no backup adsl, no datacentre space and no charges for internet down Would you pay £100 a colour cartridge over a £60 one? its what is best, if the council came out even just slightly more expensive with the same stuff added on I wouldnt have stayed without a thought but thats 10kover5 years saved and alot extra

I think its all about choice and choice should have happened many years ago. I ll do the opersite and sound capitalist, all parties came with a price and I chose the best price and connection for the school. I will come of harsh but I do the best for my school not others the government and not the council should look at the problems with primary schools and hard to reach schools thats not my job.

Microsoft Security Essentials seems to me to be the best one at moment

CC3 definetly had its place at the time but Vanilla has enough tools to deal with things

Have you recently pooled servers? Dodgy iso? vt-x enabled? (not on stones) tried 5.6 or 5.5 to see if works? are these PC/ server similar manufacturer? each version has random problems with different pcs citrix forums good but can help more if needed

Microsoft DPM

Xen client could do this if you had enough RAM

sharepoint

They have to be seperate for some wierd cross 32/ 64 bit runtime I think there is a script but I were to do 64bit I do all at same time

My server running like crap since upgrade just thrown ram at it plus I spoke to sims today knowing there is memory leak for some and be fixed in March

Nope, we're moving and other schools are we're having 2 x sonicwall in HA mode

One thing about the cloud is getting rid of the exchange

We re going with global axs 100mb line

Oh a windows network how crap with AD and Group policies I think I should go with MAC's that flood traffic to network and also the great apple who has pulled alot out of the server market Linux is good, great security, web and file servers but what in Linux comes close to domain services? how do I stop kids fiddling with linux clients? how do I install photoshop? love to see exampro try and install on Linux it hardly runs on windows! I know this can be done but its re-inventing the wheel Its not knowing what you know its knowing what tools are best fit. The teaching at our school is good but I think it should mould abit more with electronics/ pure computing

In this case say to capita you re moving sure that'll sort things out

I m a biggy for virtualisation and even though I have my sql virtualised I always advise physical SQL and if you re going to virtualise SQL dont HA mode it! this should be similar to my setup but I m having cheapy server separate from SAN on own box What quotes did you get?

I m getting £41 for 55 ENTERPRISE CAL licences, anyone getting cheaper?

Go with live@edu or google@edu save you loads

ANyone used Xen client yet? Citrix Systems » Desktop virtualization, virtual desktops - Citrix XenClient Looks very interesting for staff laptops with separate business/ personal VMs Also integration with Xen server for VM downloads though not really any licencing costs at moment, free at moment.

sccm is cheap do it that way

Working in school, 100% love it but very ambitious and will leave within a year I think

Well my manager was a RM guy so prob but also enterprise like because the number of servers be quite high and incase I want to cheat numbers and put in a -04 server for some reason

I do this the laptops were sgs-lap21 so I d have to find on spreadsheet who had it But I changed them to WOOD, CHADBOND so when I remote assist its quite easy

Agreed I do this with gpo as well like installOffice2007SP2 , policyStaff , configPowerManagement I do this from programming days lower case start to state what it is ie 'install' then Caps for what is like PrinterColourICT2

If it had domain services on them I would always call them dc-001, 002, 003 because you want ot reference they do domain work at the least and work from there but cases like that are rare these days and sql, exch, web on a dc I would have heart failure!
