Morning All, As a Malwarebytes corporate customer would we be able to try this product ? and can it still be centrally managed ?? via the Admin consul ?? and If the device was not connected to the school network would it look at the Malwarebytes website to update as well ?? looking forward tot he new version.. regards Andy IT Manager Middleton Technology School

Hi All, I think if the power goes who cares :-) you are in the smelly brown stuff anyway, we tried to setup the tills to use a local cache database and had a nightmare as the software wasn't compatible with the Windows 7 pos we use, so ended up using older software and make it work, basically we are able to go off line and when the server comes back on it re-syncs the sales data, have a great weekend.... Andy

PMSL Brilliant , and good luck to you all

False Alarm...... still got him to sign up though..... not long now as his missies was up at 2.00am cleaning the house ..!!! "thank god I'm single"

good question ?? no idea, will send him a text and get him to sign up while he is waiting

err this might be a strange one............ one of my Techies gets a phone call, put the phone down saying I've got to go........... and starts flapping....... His wife is pregnant and the phone call was.......I'M IN LABOUR....... :eek: so puts him in my car and took him to house so he could pick up her night bag thingy that women have ready and then to Doctors surgery where she and ambulance where waiting..... "Good Luck Jason hope all goes well"....... Andy

Hi All, the following company can do a document scanner which scans documents into most MIS providers, the beauty of this is, once the document header has been created e.g. with a barcoded front page the rest is simple, it will scan multiple documents in, and if you ever change MIS they will follow you..... unlike SIMS where once they are in they are in and you cant get them back out into another MIS.. Scan Brochure | ScanDB hope this helps, Andy

not a problem with that, however I do have a problem being quoted £1765.00 to replace our Note loaders and engineers time, when actually only "1" needs replacing, the rest can be firmware upgraded....... Fair days work for a fair days pay...... "Nearly Friday" "6 x new note readers - £1170.00+vat. Installation for 3 note readers - £595.00+vat. Total - £1765.00+vat."

LOL :D its called "Data Protection" is the staff have access to your MIS or any Student information on a laptop its pretty much a case closed..... have a great day Andy (still chuckling)

Morning, it took us a while to figure BitLocker out and to make it very clear to staff who use the laptops to keep both devices separate, I think the "if you return the pen drive then we wont prosecute you" seemed to help.... if the laptop gets stolen and they return the pen drive I am not that bothered, still miffed that they lost a laptop but it is better than nothing and a device unlocked if they keep both together, so far touch wood all is good and with 100+ staff with laptops it seems to be working..... no doubt just put the kiss of death on it and some one will walk in saying they have lost a laptop and the pen drive was in the bag Andy

ohh no...... sys admin day will be my 11th...... god I will feel older than I am now :-)

Please see my thread above..... go direct to Innovative Technologies, we have 6 Revals on site 1 which needs a new note reader at £143 +vat and then the rest are just firmware updates and the gadget to sort that is about £38 hope this helps Andy

Morning All, I wondered when all this would kick off, we have just been quoted...... hold your breath....... as we have 6 Note loaders....... are you ready.............. from Cunninghams........ New note loaders @ £1170.00 plus VAT, Installation of three note loaders.... £595.00 plus vat totalling £1765.00 plus the beautiful VAT....... my point.... they haven't even phoned or asked us for the serial numbers of the units, basically if the note loader starts with NV90USB then all they need is a firmware update, we actually have one note reader which needs replacing, I have been quoted by Innovative Technologies (who make them) via this link... http://www.innovative-technology.com/shop/bank-note-validators/nv9-usb-bank-note-validator-detail and if its just the firmware update that is needed then buy this bit of kit, dSupport Tools / Accessories : DA2 Programming Kit down load the firmware form the Innovative website and do it yourself..... hope this helps Andy
