If you are LEA supported they should be able to install a new CC3 server. RM are still selling CC3 preconfigured servers on their website once this is in place all software migrated and all workstation built to the new domain you are done. This is preferable to CC4 at the moment, trust me on this one. You can always upgrade to CC4 in couple of years time.

I have found that I did not have the proxy setup in server configuration, which was recommended by the installation guide. Thanks for the tips on SQL I will look into which sp I have on this.

We are having this problem now, did you ever resolve this?

That is more than enough. We have 90 concurrent connections on ws 2003, 2GB Ram, 3 x 146GB 15k rpm (RAID 5) 1 x 1000T NIC. And it is pretty quick, so your spec will be very fast as long as the workstations can request the data fast enough.

soory mate thats life in education. The problem is the Teachers should not be managers but thats what 95% of any SMT/SLT in schools are. Its not about to change either.

I am a parsnip. I am going to sue for breach of vegatable rights because you did not back it up with evidence.

I did look at these but I have concerns: Is anyone worried that they are breakable by students swinging on them? Fixing costs what happend if the projectors duff how do you swap it out? How do you replace lamp? Please share with me your thoughts if you have one of these because I am actually quite interested in these

I respect your opinions a lot, but please be aware this is effectively to me a new bug that has not been experienced before - that is not good enough for a software in its fourth official pilot. I have alway been supportive of the concept of this software (this is my third pilot) but it is so over complicated and has so many problems this software really is not worth it.

We are in the process of finishing up the tests today. I found out that last night we are going to lose the results of 17 pupils through no fault of our own. Everyone please be aware that session1 can fataly not save its data properly not allow the pupil to start session2 and it cannot be solved. I cannot believe this is happening as last year I managed to get every pupil a result. And to think they were going to roll this out next year as the replacement to SATS - what would have happened if no result came back for say 10% of pupils? I am very angry with this software and will drop it no matter what, it is not technically feasible to put so much effort in and get so little back.

Agree with that mate - if you look at what we do, It's probably one of the most important jobs in the school. I am not allowed to be SMT even though I believe I should be - I make whole school decisions every day of the week that affect 100 teachers and 1000 pupils but there is no real reward. I am not allowed to control the ICT budget as a whole because I am not SMT - and yet I am by far the most qualified person to hold it. Money has been wasted over the years because of this - and I have to go crawling to SMT to get my order for 50 network cables signed. Dont get me wrong - I have a very good working relationship with SMT - and I've driven things forward considerably since I have been here. But I dont feel valued. As for the Govenors question - in the 6 years I have been here I have not once had a meeting with any of the govenors. I have no idea what they do here to be honest. They probably have no idea what I do either! Andrew Are we working at the same school? Exactly the same for me here.

I have already implemented a moodle VLE at my current site, I have to admit it would be nice to get it off the current server as it is installed on windows 2000 member server that needs decomissioning really. The ICT department like it and I believe it has helped with tracking of coursework / homework quite effectively. Not mention cut down on some of waste caused by excessive print outs. Not everything in moodle is straight forward though, eg linking up to AD took me 2 days.

Where are you based? I am based in havering we had all the sales pitch - I have to say the product looks good and I know of schools that really rate it as single school VLE solution. Having said that I agree more details are needed as this is a big project; an London wide sims integrated solution that allows students to move seamlessly from school to school and even LEA to LEA; and one that is going to be a bumpy ride at times I imagine.

I have LDAP working on my WAMP server 1.6.3 setup on a windows 2000 member server. It has been working since sept 2006 - maybe I can help can you tell me the exact problem your having?

We have a vacancy - think it might already be on edugeek job listing under jobs go public here is link anyway http://poweredby.jobsgopublic.com/havering/index.cfm?fuseaction=Job.Display&StartRow=1&keywords=IT&SearchType=SearchQuick&btnSubmit=1&job_id=2264093&source=s¤tJobRow=7 S01 - S02 (approx 25 - 28k) so good money. PM me for more details. Would be nice to have some good quality candidates as putting it out to the local rags does not guarantee such, hence I am calling on all edugeekers.

Was that your attempt at a London accent!
