A scoreline is the total score of all combined factor levels, which is then matched against the number of points required for a particular pay grade within that LA. A lot of IT jobs are actually on a grade boundary, so only one factor needs to go up by one level (i.e. NOT necessarily the Responsibility for Supervision factor) to send the job up a grade.

PM'd you.

@ICT_GUY, I have stacks of resources on getting successfully regraded if you'd like them. @witch, as far as NM requiring line management responsibilities is concerned, see if you can get hold of your scoreline.

You could - apparently it can back itself up too

We have a dedicated backup server with its own storage performing the function of your NAS box there, so because it's a full Windows box we run Veeam on that. It's got 4 cores and 16GB RAM and purrs along nicely.

Would a VM not be the right solution for this? Linked to an abandonware one for you. Just exit out of Program Manager to get a DOS prompt. Could set this up running on a terminal server and have the tutor and/or students remote in etc. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B67oBNGv5opzQjd1bEp2eG9EUms/view?usp=sharing

@apexns At which school(s) is this based? Please PM if not for public consumption.

Completely agree. Plus, you've got a standard whiteboard available for use, in the same place, when you're not using the projector/computer. With an interactive display, if you wanted a drywipe board too you'd have to use up more classroom space. It's just not an efficient use of space, besides being too expensive at the moment...

I currently have a floppy disk in my work jacket pocket containing a bootable x86 port of the 1979 Version 7 of UNIX. It accepts serial connections over a COM port and brings a tear to my eye every time. I am really quite sad.

@EduTech, are you permitted to release any further details about Windows 10 Education? I've heard it will incorporate a number of APIs that developers can start using from release, but will there be any other specific features that would distinguish it from e.g. Enterprise upon launch?

UPDATE: Reverting from .NET 4.5 to 4.0 has fixed this issue

... like EduGeek?

Didn't Solid Snake disagree with this entire sentiment back in MGS4?

I was thinking more for personal use :/ My Early-2009 iMac is getting long in the tooth...

Can you do instalments as long as it finishes within the same financial year?

@Dos_Box, why thank you sir!

UPDATE: Found and attached error trace for reference.Trace.txt

Trying to use this to import nearly 700 students with just forename, surname, e-mail and e-mail type (Work). Gets to loading the preview for all students, crashes out with no error (no difference in debug mode, just disappears) around 10 students in.

UPDATE: New code for error-checking the e-mail. Case $guiMsg = $panicButton Local $mailSuccess = _INetSmtpMail($mailServer, $mailDisplayFrom, $mailAddressFrom, $mailAddressTo, $mailSubject, $mailBody, @COMputerName, -1) Local $mailError = @error If $mailSuccess = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Success", "Message sent!") Else MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Message failed with error code: " & $mailError) EndIf Just means they know it's definitely gone and they don't need to keep pressing the button...

@Ben-at-work, @scotyboy56, I would point you to this. @strawberry, I think we're talking about a situation where it is assumed the teacher has already logged on (to take the register, perhaps). UPDATE: I've now also configured an Outlook rule to play a sound on the workstations staffed by recipient users when such a message is received. Being a die-hard Trekkie, it's the Red Alert klaxon from ST:TNG...

From this source: copy "FontName.ttf" "%WINDIR%\Fonts" reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" /v "FontName (TrueType)" /t REG_SZ /d FontName.ttf /f I'd build a startup script around that model.

Veeam will only handle VM data I believe. You could operate a "reverse-incremental" strategy, as we do, whereby the full backup file appears as the latest snapshot in the chain, with previous dates as incrementals in reverse order. Yes, these are differentials and only take the time required for that.

Turn on View Hidden Files.

You need to rename the ntuser.man file in the central profile to ntuser.dat, then log on, make changes and log off, then rename it back. You should only do it at a time when you can guarantee nobody else will be logging on using this profile.

Yes. In my experience the added weight of (potential) money lost per hour etc is offset by the fact that teams are larger / it's not just you and maybe one other (again, depends where you are) and there is generally more room for specialism in a Medium Business (though not in a Small one). You're not generally responsible for "anything and everything IT or IT-related or plugs into IT".
