  10. our veeam server is connected by crossover cable to a nas - so the nas can only be accessed from that machine
  11. We Had a similer problem, Ours was traced back to teachers "switching users" rather than logging of - It keeps the Spark Server locked to the original user
  12. If you have windows servers have you thought about Hyper-V It Part of windows server and the free tool to convert physical machines https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn873998(v=ws.11).aspx

  15. Do all the hosts have to be identical?
  16. Im Planning on having the staff and student file servers seperated on diffrent vlans, should improve overall secuity and risk of infections
  17. Hi, Im planning on updating our hardware and OS. we are not a massive school, about 500 under 13's At the moment we are running a hyper-v Fail over cluster on server 2008, but is that really the setup i want to use going forward? Ive seen a few posts about you no longer needs sans with server 2016 as it can do the seperate controller parts within its os. If i went back down this root of a more classical single host with fixed disks - still running hyper-v, i would effectively be able to get 50% resources more as in the cluster, one half is just spare machine with the capacity of the main host. I would also lose alot of the compexivitys of a cluster. Our setup would endup Physical DC Physical HypervHost With Each VM esstenialy a service /File /Print/AV/Accounts/MIS etc Physical Backup Ofiice365 for emails What are your thoughts?
  18. Do they want a current song, or a current sounding song? there are websites like Free Production Music by Jason Shaw wich are free to use and have a good slection of catorgories
  19. We have ours hard wired to the nearest net2 to the fire alarm sytem, that feeds all the other units, we also have emergency exit buttons on all the external doors aswell - these could have been left as they were but watching the kids crash into them everyday we thought they could do with a little help in an emergency
  20. We are using planet-estream here, It pulls calanders from iSams, Twitter, pictures, RSS feeds and scheduled powerpoints for opendays. I never have to do any updates
  21. MPLS is much more efficient on bandwith as there is no encryption or compression overheads. also a doddle to setup. I used Timico for there PWAN service with about 30 sites and had some servers in there data center
  22. used to a cool hover car game too.. Humm that might have been win95
