and with that - the new discover wont deploy over solus 3. - tolerance not met for summer 2017 install (sims installs fine) Sorry this feels like a schoolboy error now, I just dont do enough of this to know it well enough, and the logs that I can find tell me no more. Discover was great while it lasted though!

Hello So I have a load of Epson EB450Ws on very flimsy walls. I really don't want to replace the brackets if I can help it so in the past have bought an EB575 which I can swap straight out (2 screws) It appears that I don't have the luxury of doing that anymore as the mounting on the newer projectors have changed. Does anyone know if this is really the case? or is there still something that will fit epson-wise Cheers

once https inspection was turned off on the smoothwall for the registration server url everything was fine ...

I have been in touch with cornerstones and they did whitelist the IP which enabled access to the site but the registration server still fails during operation when piping through the smoothwall. still waiting for a reply from the firewall guy (wish I had access)

hello another jump on an old thread... I got it deployed, writing to programdata and registered but every file open requires a write back to their licensing server which fails. we are using a proxy expressed on each device (until we get our transparent proxy which I have been waiting for about 7 months for (hosted firewall)) to route through a (hosted) smoothwall and although smoothwall says the url is ok I cant get it going. Have contacted cornerstones. If they use a funny port then I will post it here. In the meantime can anyone throw me anything please? Cheers

THAT WAS IT! - Mate I could kiss you. Thanks for bearing with me everyone there are happy senior types here today

Still the same as it ever was. Going to try it all again using local admin rather than domain admin. Incidentally Capita apparently told my support that SQL Service pack 3 could be at fault. - I couldn't get a reasoning behind this although once I get desperate enough I shall probably try ripping that out ...

1.0.42.1 through solus 3 not sure of client version - I have just ripped it all off the server. waiting for the go-ahead for a reboot for good measure before attempting a reinstall

thanks both for your replies. @esteban I have tried doing this 3 times or so on both the sites with the supervision of our LA support, including a reboot after service uninstall. Will try again. @Michael service accounts as per screenshot

Hi Michael, Both Sims & Discover are on the Spring 2017 version if that is what you mean? I found someone here who had fixed their discover woes by doing this, and checked.

Thanks very much for this. Something is definitely amiss: On Create the catalogue stage: CatalogueLoaderConsole then Bombs in cmd: After this, Discover.SqlUserManager bombs and I get Then more Sorry for the messy post I am not sure how to present this nicely. Suffice to say there is authentication issue - but is this how it begins?

Yes is all pretty vanilla sims server holds physical files and db The server itself is virtualised . No firewall all on one subnet. It would be pretty easy to replicate.

after some 4 months of sporadic working on this issue, my LA support have tried everything they know, had capita log on and try on one of the two sites, given capita db backups etc I have made no headway. I am told pretty much that Capita couldn't recreate my issue on their test server and so can't / won't progress. Yet I have this working on one of my sites beautifully. It is pretty infuriating I do agree though. Its part of the core (I think(?)) and should be supported as such

So if I was able to create the discover db using solus3 using the credentials that I later then used for logging into the transfer utility I can rule out sims authentication and I should be looking at SQL authentication? There is also the question of running the discover services and which account I should be running them as. I am afraid this is where I come unstuck. Thanks for your time

yea all enabled (tcp/ip shared pipes and shared memory just returned to a very similar thread - http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/139230-cannot-set-application-role-simsuser-because-does-not-exist-password.html and I am trying the re-index patch again. Unable to set application role

thanks for the heads up - I will find out now

that rings true with that log file - please what do you mean by default locked down?

Hello - As the title says, I have 3 schools that wanted sims discover deployed. one install went straight on, and 2 other sites fail when using the transfer utility ("an error has occurred. please check the log file for more information") I have had a look about as I am unsure to which log file it is referring to (maybe "AdministrationUtility.LogFile") - there are errors in there relating to discover with about the same time the transfer failed. (please can anyone confirm?) Our local authority support have tried and failed to get this working. They escalated with capita who took a db backup and failed to recreate the error. I have tried reinstalling discover from scratch , running sims index patch, restarting services etc. We have basically got to a point where support / capita wont help any more. something is obviously different on one of the servers, but I am unable to progress. Discover is deployed ok but I just cant get the db syncing Please can anyone throw me something?

recon it is because the tut i followed didn't include renaming the DC itself. Now looking at doing this retrospectively.

thanks for reply. when you say tenancy range do you mean IP? smoothwall engineer was pretty adamant that i had to do this otherwise they couldn't distinguish between the 3 sites

Hello, I have recently got 3 schools on a multi tenant hosted smoothwall. The DC's for each school had the same domain name. (didn't realise / wasn't advised this could be an issue for policy based filtering - this is my first ever move away from LA provision) So I have renamed 2 of the servers using rendom (/list, edit xml, /upload, /prepare and /execute) then gpfixup (/newdns and /newnb) both after creating new DNS primary zone for the new domain, and rejoined all the machines on the 2 sites over easter. it seems ok. Although - Smoothwall engineer is complaining of a nslookup of new domain resolving to 2 sites (it resolves to the domain I didn't change as well as the new one) For what it is worth - both my dns & ad on the new domains still have reference to the old domain name in the root of the manager tree I am guessing there is something dns that I have yet to change. I am running win2k12r2 Does anyone better versed in DNS / domain rename have anything they can throw me please? Until I get it sorted I can't filter using security groups only by means of an inline proxy. Thanks

I found this thread as I am faced with this after buying a smoothwall multi tenant and having 3 different schools that used the same domain name (same company sold us the servers) I got to rename 2 different schools, and fair to say am a bit worried after reading this. In a nutshell can anyone confirm that what I plan to do is correct? I plan to follow instructions here (replicate new primary dns zone, rendom & gpfix) https://mizitechinfo.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/simple-guide-how-to-rename-domain-name-in-windows-server-2012/ win2k12r2 on hyper-v thanks in advance pretty out of my comfort zone...

Hello - I found this after googling for the same problem. sorry for the resurrection of ancient thread etc. - I have created about 6 groups in discover and only one appears in sims... user defined groups made available in sims appear in discover with no issues. Please LosOjos- did you get this sorted? Seems capita won't let me get to myaccount for another 5 days or so

+1 for xibo although school proxy & modules dont play great. (read I am not good enough at xibo) open source ftw though Intel STK1AW32SC Compute Stick and a screen on a bracket for the clients and an ancient desktop running xibo

that is very cool - thanks for that! (every days' a school day....)
