[free] brand new 3.5" Internal Floppy Drives (quantity 9)
Abaddon posted a topic in Classified Adverts
As title really.. we don't use them, and these are just sitting on the shelf. Brand new in bags, never used. Any use to anyone? -
Sure... sounds like a bargain (for me!)...

Grand..

7 * 3com 3300 xm 24 port 10/100 (http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=features&pathtype=purchase&sku=3C16985B-US) 1 * 3com 2024 24 port 10/100 (http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=features&sku=3C16471-US&pathtype=purchase) 1 * D-link DES-1016R 10/100 16 port (http://www.edsys.com.au/brochures/dlink/des1016r.htm) All in good working order with rack ears etc... To save them being recycled, does anyone want them? Not really wanting any money, but we love a good gadget!
-
Yes to all of these. No issues for me so far.

Uh-oh.. some digigng on the net reveals this: Bad Data Recovery or Customer Service Experiences - Disklabs Data Recovery and RAID Recovery Forums Doesn't look good at all... Hand over to the the schools solicitors I think.
-
Not your fault, but thanks anyway... I've filled that form out twice now, and sent two further e-mails to the last guy I had contact with. Time for more affirmative action I think!
-
Indeed, but as I said, it was a different drive that I actually sent off, not the one I initially posted about. To the other answers, I don't have the drive, they do, so I couldn't try anything on it software wise. I did try initially, but this particular drive is a mechanical failure. It doesn't register on the OS, and just clunks nastily. Last I heard, and it was a LONG time again, they were swapping bits from another drive. My guess is they have lost it, and nobody wants to own up.
-
Update.. for those who are thinking about using these people.. I sent a different (failed) drive off in September.. I've now spent ALL the intervening time calling and e-mailing. It's been nigh on impossible to get an answer. My sales manager "got promoted to the USA", the engineer working on it "got promoted to another dept".. another guy took over and sent a pro-forma for the work saying I had been "really unlucky" and he would get it sorted. Now he's not answering mails either. I wouldn't use them again after this is resolved.
-
I did this morning.. I have two (work and personal), so I HAD to have the e-mail sound different on the work one as it's the emergency alert system.. Used Blackrain on the PC, as the Mac version didn't work for me.
-
Ok then.. I did think that a bit strange! Thanks for for the info...

I've heard that Ruckus does not provide any level of wireless security such as WPA etc, and that it's all server-end security.. is this correct?

Stopping and starting - some heavy - in Hampton.... settling for a bit. If it persists, we'll have a light covering. Cool..
-
To be fair, not on it's own no - we use the settings: User Config - Admin Templates - System - Ctrl+Alt+Del Options - Remove Logoff User Config - Start Menu and Taskbar - Remove Logoff on the Start Menu User Config - Start Menu and Taskbar - Remove and Prevent Access to the Shut Down command and, as I said, provide an Icon for shutting it down instead. I realise that this adds a minute or two at the start of a lesson, but as we use Provisioning server, this means that every kid gets a brand new desktop every time, and as far as workstations go we rarely have problems anymore other than forgotten passwords.
-
We've set a group policy to remove logoff, restart and shutdown from the start menu, and simply have a "shutdown this workstation" icon on the desktop for exactly this reason.

[for sale] For.. not much? Server 2000 books (assorted)
Abaddon posted a topic in Classified Adverts
A large pile of books as listed below, covering Server 2000. These are just taking up space in the office now, but I'd hate to just throw them out.. does anyone have any need for these? Collection only really, as it would cost a bit to send, but I'm open to offers! Sybex: Windows 2000 Professional Windows 2000 4-in-1 Core Requirements Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure Administration Windows 2000 Server Windows 2000 Directory Services Administration MCSE:Windows 2000 Core Design Electives e-trainer (complete set of CD's) MCSE2000 Jumpstart Microsoft Press: Managing a Windows 2000 Network Environment Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Implementation and Administration Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000 Exchange 2000 Server Administrators Companion Introducing Exchange 2000 Server Simmons: Windows 2000 Hardware and Disk Management All are full size books, mostly hardback and in excellent condition (I really look after my books - you'd think they were unread), and complete with CD's where applicable.

Do PGCE students at your school get laptops?
Abaddon replied to maniac's topic in How do you do....it?
Here, for the most part, yes. I can only think of one who doesn't currently have one. -
Is there anything that does this....
Abaddon replied to mrbios's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
We are using Citrix Provisioning Server here to push out Windows images to 7 different desktop hardware types. One of the images has about 100 PC's using it, the others are varying numbers. It's run from 4 Provisioning Servers and a NetApp filer holding the images. Easy to update, and quite quick to boot. We do not have ANY student PC's that are NOT provisioned in this way. Some cache to RAM, some to HDD depending on the RAM in that particular PC type... if it has 1Gb or more, it's cached to RAM and the hard disks are not connected (less power, less heat, less to go wrong!) I'm currently working on an XP image for the Acer Revo's that we will be rolling out in January. You're welcome to see it if you want to. -
[for sale] Sony Alpha A200 Digital Camera kit
Abaddon replied to Abaddon's topic in Classified Adverts
Now sold.. thanks for the interest -
Not much here either really.. we did collect the Tesco vouchers, but they were worth so little, it really was pointless. We managed to get one photo printer, and a single iMac in about 4 years. I think the parents had to spend something like £100k to even get that much. Other departments were much better off for voucher trade-ins, but for IT at least it was a complete waste of time.

There are many varieties of VNC, and most are free.. look at UltraVNC, I use that here and it seems fine. http://www.uvnc.com/

It's the A200 body, with 18-70 kit lens, and an additional Tamron 70-300 zoom lens. Both come with skylight filters and polarisers. There are a couple of 4Gb memcards, and a cabled remote release as well. Also included is a case for the camera (does not fit in with the bigger lens though!). Just over a year old, with low activations (somewhere around 2k I think), and all in as-new condition. Looking for offers in the region of £275.

As above, if anyone wants to see a VMWare farm running a virtual Citrix Farm of 20 servers, plus about 10 or so others, including Exchange and SIMS etc, and is close(ish) to Hampton, you're more than welcome. ps.. we also have a fully functioning Citrix Provisioning system, for network boots of all our IT Suites. Happy to show this as well.
