I think that's "Aggy"? http://www.edugeek.net/members/aggy.html

frosty - through SMB? or set up an FTP server for those particular dir's?

Agree with the above, perhaps sending emails - arranging calendar entries? Doing reports in your MIS?

Try this ....... you will need to share the printer out from the original PC.

We did it year group by gear group; seemed to work reasonably well.

Welcome!

We use Recycool

Yep, I've got mine, it's with the edugeek lanyard ready to go for Saturday!

Yes, I love Pizza - especially from Dominoes (me and @Soulfish usually tuck into one medium each in the Holidays). I personally love the DOminoes Pepperoni Medium on their thin base!

Thank you for this

They get an email account here, no problems with that - as they have signed an AUP before they even use the computer (and SIMS to do electronic registration!)

As far as I am aware this would need to be in the timetable in order for a period to be created in order for you to take the register.

Bloody hell Soulfish, he kept that one quiet! Better get him something I suppose!

How are you compiling your interim reports? Have you looked at the load on the server when trying to print?

I don't know an awful lot about it as we don't use it - I do know its a module that is used for the financial side and has certain reporting techniques etc if they owe money. It also looks at Attendance to see whether they are on trips, absent etc so they don't get charged accordingly for dinners (I think..) Try this case study ..... http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/Web/corporate/pages.nsf/Links/3BBB2ED36C68FE51802572A7004D44DF/$file/Primary+SIMS+case+studies.pdf which seems to detail alot of it.

Glad you got it sorted andy, and I agree with sivadams suggestion about referring to Supportnet aswell as here! Both sites have helped me out loads ion building up my knowledge.

+1 everything to the helpdesk, having a unique ref# for everything makes things so much more effective.

Merry christmas one and all

Hmmm ... I'm lost here as the script works here and got rid of that same error. The onoly other thing I can think of script wise is the following ... are you running x64 Windows 7 with x86 office? If so you may need to change the ProgFiles location in the script of Office.

Have you got a screenshot of the upgrade failure as I have not had that issue here; normal users can upgrade fine here. Also, what version of Office are you using? You may need to change the following... to the path of your office folder.

Just going to +1 for Ruckus ... and Net-Ctrl. I was able to work out the Ruckus setup with no formal training what so ever. A great product.

No, "STRICHARDSCC\Staff" is a security group in AD you want to grant the permission to. Effectively what my script is doing is, on startup, providing you have put all the files in the same dir (thats why I suggested the sysvol) providing all the permissions you need to run SIMS effectively (and also to run upgrades etc). You;ll either need to run this (I use it) or SImsPerm aswell as sort your S drive problem out. a thought regarding the S drive: it could be related to share/ntfs permissions? Perhaps post up the permissions on that particular directory.

I had that same problem with SIMS perm and in the end I created my own script which mimiked what SIMS perm did. ------------------------------- Posted it as Resource #804 on Supportnet In relation to this thread: I have created a simple script based on Helge Klein | Home of SetACL to set permissions for various directories to enable SIMS updates to run: without using SIMSperm.bat and without opening computers up to possible flaws in security. I'm no script officiado - but pushing this through a computer startup script does the trick for us. Change C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 to the path of your relevant Office install. I accept no responsibility for this, test it first! --------------------------------- I have enclosed it - give it a go - you'll need to add thew files to the "Computer Configuration" part of a GPO and I would stick them in the "Show Files" which will dump them in the sysvol. Let me know if you need me to expand further SetACLSims_804.zip

I think this is to do with the NCC part of Nova T6 - have you resent the t/t and the cycle to SQL? Mike is spot on with this KB article, that is what we used to fix it, I have copied and pasted it below ... KB102162 - Advice on Timetable Cycle and "Timetable is not set for the selected date" error - Lesson Monitor and Nova-T4/T6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Created 06/09/2010 Last Updated 15/09/2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Affected Products Lesson Monitor 7 NOVA-T6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes Timetable cycle not matching between Nova-T and SIMS .net Nova-T4 Nova-T6 SIMS .net Lesson Monitor Advice on Timetable Cycle Cycle size does not match Reg Periods Timetable not set for selected period Session Periods showing incorrect (i.e. 9 Periods showing instead of 6) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advice Timetable cycle in Nova-T6, SIMS .net Lesson Register and Lesson monitor This solution is relevant to schools which - Are using Nova-T6 for creating and maintaining the timetable and are sending the timetable data to Sims .net. Are beginning the new academic year Have changed/amended the timetable cycle in Nova-T6 Are using Lesson Monitor, Lesson Register and/or Attendance 7 The timetable cycle, that is the number of periods per day and the number of days (e.g. one week or two week timetable) must be the same in Nova-T6, SIMS .net and Nova-T4. If it is not, then error messages will occur when transfers are being made between Nova and SIMS .net. The chief area where problems can occur is with Reg. periods, and periods that are marked as Non-teaching. Registration, or reg periods can be represented in two ways within Nova-T6. Method 1. They can be marked as non teaching periods on the Cycle screen, with Non class codes (NCCs) used to show the different reg groups assigned to Reg Tutors. or Method 2. The periods that are going to be used for registration can be scheduled in the same way as academic classes. If the Reg. periods are marked as Non-Teaching, then in SIMS .net they will not appear on student timetables. They only appear in Cover 7, and on teacher timetables when All Periods display mode is selected. They do not appear in Lesson Monitor or Attendance. When a Reg. period is included in the Timetable cycle in Nova-T4 and/or T6 but is not marked as non-teaching it will show in SIMS .net on timetables and in Lesson Monitor and Attendance. If a school has scheduled a Reg. period on the timetable (in the same way as an academic class) then this would most likely be where students go to a tutor group for some type of registration and to meet with their form tutor. The AM and PM registration in Lesson Monitor would allow registration to be recorded in these lessons; another period does not need to be added into Lesson Monitor. If there are too many periods showing in Lesson monitor or when transferring Curriculum and Timetable to/from SQL there is a message about timetable cycles not matching then a new timetable cycle should be sent from T6 to SIMS .net (SQL) Changing the Cycle and sending it from Nova-T6 to Sims .net (SQL) Make a back up of SIMS .net Make a back up of Nova-T6 On the cycle screen add the Reg periods if necessary; make them Non-teaching (If using the most common method i.e. Method 1 above). Check that the number and sequence of periods showing is what is required. Data | Send New timetable cycle to SQL. This will require times for each lesson to be entered. The start date could be back dated to the start of the academic year but should not be if there are Lesson marks or data in Cover 7 as this will be lost. In this case the following day's date should be used. Data | Send curriculum and timetable to SQL with the same start date. Apply Timetable to Academic Year. SIMS .net Tools | Academic Structure | Apply Timetable. Lesson Monitor SetupSelect Tools | Setups | Lesson Monitor Options | Lesson MonitorSetup to display the Lesson Monitor Setup page. In the Registration and Periods Pattern panel, select the required timetable model from the Timetable Model drop-down list. If there is only one that is fine. The current and any future timetable models that have been applied to SIMS .net are available for selection. The selected timetable model (either one week or two weeks) is displayed in thegrid. Highlight the cells that belong to the AM sessions, then click the AM button.A block of cells can be selected by clicking in the top left cell, then while holding down the Shift key clicking in the bottom right cell. The selected AM cells are coloured pink. Highlight the cells that belong to the PM session, then click the PM button. The selected PM cells are coloured yellow. To indicate the period when registration takes place each day, enter A (AMregistration) and P (PM registration) in the appropriate cells. If registration takes place before a period, enter A or P in that period. If PM registration takes place after the last period, enter N in the last period.Click the Save button. The registration and period pattern is saved for the date range of the selected timetable model. If Nova-T4 is being used for the Reports menu- Make back up of Nova-T4 In Nova-T4 Plan | days and periods . Make sure cycle shows the correct number of periods in the right order. Reg. periods would normally be marked as excluded and non-teaching. (Highlight period and use the tick boxes at top of screen) Load Curriculum and Timetable from SQL for the correct date. The data should load without giving an error message about the cycle. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
