SIMS database was already set on compatibility mode, but PARS wasn't changed it this morning and started to get reports that it appears quicker.

We have exactly the same issue, staff are reporting that both are slow and we had the upgrade over summer. Be good if you could feedback if the above has helped in anyway.

I applied the first time they advertised this role, got an email saying they didn't get a large enough field of candidates. But would carry my application forward for when they re-advertised it again. Its interesting reading your comments about the school I always find it worth while knowing about the background of any school I am applying for.

Back to Moodle then!

Not sure about Clicker but if you are with BTLSL for your internet connection you get Espresso as part of the package. Link below. BTLSL Broadband and Online services

We had this quite recently with Twitter, they way we nailed the students who had done it was to see who the followers where or who they had followed. That's how we tracked it back and one of the students eventually talked.

Me and Ric would like to thank all that came to meeting 03 yesterday at Park Hall. We understand its a busy time of year but it was great to meet up with both new and existing members. It was another interesting and entertaining meeting with relevant speakers and suppliers. Onwards towards meeting 04 on June 25th. Pictures from the day can be found on the twitter feed or on the website Meeting 03 | Association of Network Managers in Education ANME

I've been looking in to this as well and a local company are offering to back up 7 servers, with data not totaling more than 1TB into the cloud. They then say they can restore your virtual servers and present them in the cloud for users to access in any location in the event of a disaster. Though as above the price tag for this is just short of the 2 grand mark.

Just two weeks to go to the third ANME meeting at Park Hall Chorley, we still have places available. If you have had the email then register via the Eventbrite invite. We have both Impero, Sophos and KMD recycling as guest speakers as well as running various workshops in the afternoon. I will also once again have a slot and be on my soapbox dispensing invaluable advise! You should just come along for that alone! Details are on the website here http://www.anme.co.uk/companies.

Softcat, I've found there pricing for EES good.

Interesting how in the 2009 salary scale they had a ICT Network Manager at grade 8, yet fast forward to 2015 and it's not there.

Last two suppliers have just confirmed this last week for the meeting in March, we will make the agenda available shortly. It promises to be another great meeting. We still have places available so don't forget to register via the eventbrite invite that was sent out. or if you haven't joined yet Join | Association of Network Managers in Education ANME

we had the same the other morning, it was after we had done the usual holiday windows updates on the server that the Impero Server is on, restarted the server and all of the permissions had to be reset. Not a massive issue but a strange one.

We have just moved over to them from our LEA, (well in April) we had a trial of their services and were very impressed with the support, response times and just general willingness to help. Our Assistant head and new data manger have also had some on-site training and they could not have been more complementary about the training and the trainers knowledge and understanding. I know a lot of the Leeds/Bradford schools use them.

CPOMS CPOMS | Secure monitoring of child protection, safeguarding and student welfare for schools or TASC have one now called CURA.

I should point out for any members or potential members interested in coming along to the Sophos trip, its free ( just your time and petrol), we will have some freebies to hand out (Ric's gone mad again on Total Merchandise!), its also in the Easter Holidays (depending on your schools holiday pattern though). So whats stopping you! come join us. We also now have a link to the Sophos trip on the ANME website. Sophos Trip details

We are also running a trip to Sophos HQ, in Abingdon, near Oxford. On the 8th of April. If you are a member of the ANME the invite has already been sent out via email. This will be a great way to meet and greet any southern members. If you haven't joined already you can join here. Join | Association of Network Managers in Education ANME

Room booking system from school cloud systems Room Booking System - Online Room Booking Software We had a paper based system for booking various rooms and resources. The fact its web based and hosted by them mean staff can access anytime, anywhere. Even the most negative member of staff when i first introduced it, now says it makes bookings easier.

@sonofsanta, when he means down south we are referring to anything where it is south of Manchester!!!! On a serious note we are looking at certain areas of the county with the Midlands being one of the areas.

We also use CPOMS, we even use it to report incidents captured by impero.

@fiza, yes it is. If we can get enough members in a particular area then we could maybe put on a meeting. I know we have been offered the use of meeting space by a vendor near the London area. @AButters, we did spend many an hour before deciding on the current name and something that could be shorted quite easily. @witch, we welcome everybody from primary to FE. I know we've had a few primary techs attend the first meetings. Like you say we all face the same kind of issues just sometime on different scales and the main aim of the ANME is to get colleagues to network face to face and share ideas and good practice. @LiamH, never say never. First Lancashire next the world!!! Having just posted this i noticed @RichCowell had beaten me to the punch.

Sorry should have read my post before posting. I have the Sophos AV installed on two tablets and the phone in our household, The MBAM isn't compatible with all of the devices we have where as the Sophos one is. My father in law has a tablet and i put MBAM on that when i original set it up for him, that was before @RichCowell recommend the Sophos one.

I have the Sophos one on my phone (as recommend by @RichCowell) and the two other android tablets in the house, i also have MalwareBytes on the tablet.
