Hi, We are having a problem with SynchronEyes Student. When students are using this software in one of our ICT Suites it randomly freezes the machines leaving them un-usable. To get around the problem they have to be hard-reset by holding down the power button. I have contacted Smart and Steljes who run the support for Smart, they have checked the version number and all the installs are up to date. The puzzling thing is, we have removed it from one of our suites where is was happening the most, and all the issues have gone, not a single freeze in over a week. So it cant be our Infrastructure that is at fault. Any body had this before, or got any ideas? D

Just Re-Ghost it matey that prob the quickest solution. D

Hey Miss, Well when you have an MSI Installed the script you need to use is: MSIEXEC /package \\servername\share\package.msi Replace C:\package.msi with the name and location of the msi you wish to installed. To install the MSI remotely, use a program PSEXEC PsTools to run the msi remotly, to do this use the script below, just enter your details. PSEXEC \\compname MSIEXEC /package \\servername\share\package.msi This will run the package on the specified machine. D

Looks like a nice piece of Kit :-)

Miss, send me the EXE zipped up and ill send you the msi back with a script to run Ill run the setup.exe and while it is running navigate to %temp% and look for the most recently create folder/files. Look for an MSI (it might have a random name) Then copy this msi to a new location, this will be the installer you can use to install silently. D

Hey if your interested, this is what im trying to build, a cheap NAS server instead of a very expensive HP solution. D

Hey Miss, Did you get this problem sorted yet? D

No this would not intrude on your services, do you host your Active Directory on site or is it controlled by the off site server. What do the offsite servers do, who looks after them? D

Why not get an exchange server? D

Hi, Im just going to use FreeNAS to Stripe them as a basic storage drive! I need lots of storage space for video editing and RAW image storage. D

Hi All, Im after 5 x 1TB SATA Hard Drives, and a motherboard than can support 6 SATA Drives. Anybody have any ideas? D

You do have a vaild point about carrying the NAS, we use tapes as well AIT 5, and also VSC for quick recoveries. D

Backup Tapes you have to change every day. NAS you can leave it alone and it will work relentlesly all day and night. You can even have NAS to NAS replication so you can have a NAS in each building for security again fire etc. Its also easier to do quick recoveries. D

All but one also, Does this class me as a Nerd of the highest order? D

Hi, What firewall do you use? You can set a DMZ easily on Smoothwall. It may be worth installing a new Smoothwall Firewall, on SW you can have multiple NIC's. Meaning you can have your Broadband feed on the RED interface, DMZ servers on Orange, then Your secure Firewalled feed on Green. Then all request that come into your Static IP on your broadband feed will be directed to your DMZ Server that will be running some service that will server the files / directories etc etc etc.. D

Hi, Do you use any type of backup, NTBackup, I know there are issues with Exc2k3 and NTBackup. The symptons you are having sound about right. I don't have any more info its a long tme since I saw this happending. D

Oh, sorry I though you were wanting to add php to html docs, my mistake! Not sure why PHP wont work then. D

Sorry, after reviewing Alert Cats it seems you can only specify a auto response for attention and information catagories. D

You will need to add the apache file type handler. Follow the destructions below: http://rssfeedreader.com/php.html #1 Instructions for adding PHP code to an HTML site; PHP scripts do not automatically work on html pages. If you have an HTML or (.HTM) based site, in order for PHP scripts to run on your .htm or .html pages you have a 2 options; For Apache Servers Edit your .htacess with AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html Then Add the php code from the reader directly to your html pages For Apache Servers Edit your .htacess with either .htm server parsed .html server parsed or Addhandler application/x-httpd-php .html .php Then follow the directions below to use the php code from the reader with SSI Includes. ***NOTE: For Windows or IIS servers - You do not have an .htaccess file. Windows IIS servers also cannot run php on html pages. Your only option for windows IIS servers is to use .shtml or .php pages with the php option from the reader. Or add Javascript to your html pages. For .shtml pages check your setup options and make sure the option for SSI inlcudes is checked, then follow the directions below for creating the SSI include and file.

Hi, If I were you I would go down the route of NAS Backup, it can be fairly cheap if you do DIY it. Get an old box with 5 Insternal SATA ports and 5 bays for 3.5" HDD's Upgrade the box to 2GB RAM, anything over 512MB will do. Get 4 x 1TB HDD's Get 1 x 80GB HDD Download FreeNas and Install, setup the OS on the 8GB HDD then Raid the 1TB Drives in Stripe for 4GB of storage, or mirror the drives and get 2GB of Storage. This is a good solution and is ALOT cheaper to do than a purchased NAS solution and it works just as well. If you need any more info please ask me. D

I think this is an excellent idea, Id definatly subscribe to that Magazine! D

Does the error message not say anything you can post here, maybe a screen shot? D

Download Fiddler Fiddler Web Debugger - Freeware HTTP(S) debugging tool Run Fiddler then using IE re-create the error, Fiddler will output everything that is happending you should then be able to pinpoint the error. D

Yep thats another good way of doing it :-) D

Hi, You can do this using "Alert Catagories" on the Tools menu. D
