As someone who moved from the KCN/KPSN to Wave 9 the Wednesday before lockdown 1.0, I can thoroughly say that Wave9 have been amazing and the transition was super smooth

Personal view time, Uniforms have gone too far in my opinion, with some places having branded everything, down to the shirt and trousers. Weirdly coloured blazers which you don't have a hope in hell of getting anywhere but a dedicated uniform shop etc. I think blazers are just a throw back to everyone should be aspiring to wear a suit, one thing I was thankful for was I never had that as part of my uniform at school. I firmly believe that pretty much everything in a uniform (if you have one) should be as generic and easy as possible, do not brand shirts and polos etc. Have a tie or a branded jumper, but that's it. no need to go crazy now

Arbor for the MIS and keeping FMS for finance as we are still a foundation school, so technically maintained so we only had two options for Finance packages supported by the LEAs team so we stuck with FMS

I'm not a MISSync user at all, but I would say that it is to do with the file it is trying to load is not expecting the Operating System version (Windows version) that machine is on, is there a difference in windows between your machine and theirs in terms of windows version and/or updates and are they the same version of MISSync?

Ah coolies, I have to admit, I have one SIMS Upgrade left with SOLUS3 and then we are off to a new MIS, I have always found SOLUS3 to be quite a fickle beast.

Yes it is the patch first, does solus3 give a reason why, is it a timeout error? As I used to have an issue where the DB backup would take so long it went over the threshold, which you can adjust below

What has failed, the patch or the fileset itself?

So this weekend I finished off watching "Tales from the TARDIS" and forgot how much I loved Sylvester McCoy's Doctor with Ace as the companion, was really good that one. I also discovered that on iPlayer is a series version of Interview with a Vampire, and while set in the 1900s rather than 1700s, it felt really good to watch and I had to check to see if there was a second season, and there is one being produced, which I am thankful for.

edited thread title to make topic clearer for users

If you are not using SIMS, it may be worth looking at whether your MIS Provider has any functionality, My impression from cursory meetings and displays is that other MIS's have close to this functionality within them if you have their parent portals.

I have also moved this thread to MIS Systems, just for categorisation :-)

Well both employees started with me today :-)

I can feel that banhammer getting twitchy ;-)

Ooof that is crazy, for future reference, if all your switches are unifi, you can restart PoE devices on the port manager page of the console (port by port I'm afraid)

Wasn't that @witch 's signature at one point?

I have 6 macbooks that teachers use, all AD Joined just fine, they log into and store their files in OneDrive. Just because it's a mac doesn't mean you have to treat authentication differently to windows laptops
