Hi everyone, I'm a long term member and have spent many, many hours reading the forums on this site. In particular the 'Behind the Red Door' forum has given me many hours of laughter and disbelief during lunch breaks. After working in a school for almost years I moved recently and so haven't been on here as much. In my spare time I've been working on a new web site and wondered if you guys could just take a look and possibly sign up and post a message. The site is in its early stages still but I was hoping a sharp boost in membership might put the site on the map for the business community. Anyway, I appreciate that you're busy but if you could spare five minutes I would be grateful. The site is: Categories - The Small Business Forums Many thanks

Hi Ed, Yes, we've updated the schema. It's taking ages! I don't mind waiting if it is going to do it but at this stage I am doubtful.

Hi everyone, Just a quick update. Our site has now been running since May and we've had lots of interest. If anyone else might find signing up useful, please head over to Categories - The Small Business Forums Many thanks

Hi everyone, We have an old SBS2000 server running which I need to replace. I am setting up a Server 2008 box and have joined it to the existing domain. I am now trying to make the 2008 box a domain controller. I have run dcpromo but the process is taking ages. It is copying across the schema data but every five minutes or so, the process finishes the bit it was doing and asks for the admin password again. I type it in and it goes through copying something else. This keeps repeating and I have been sat here for an hour today typing in the password when requested and most of yesterday. Is this right? Regards

Keep 'em coming

Any business is welcome to sign up.

Hello everyone, I have recently launched a new Business Forum web site with a Business Directory. The Business Directory is to allow small and local businesses to get a little free advertising and used to draw members in initially. I'm just posting to ask if there is anyone on here interested in becoming a forum admin on the site. Obviously someone with business experience is crucial and ideally a history of moderating similar sites in the past. In addition, we are looking for people to recommend our site to small businesses. To help get us going, we only launched a week ago, we are offering free advertising for two weeks. As soon as we reach 150 members, we are going to be offering one of those members two week's free advertising on our site. If you know of anyone that this might benefit, please pass it on. Many thanks Categories - The Small Business Forums

Can't you just set the user's e-mail address as the one you want to forward all the mail to? I haven't tried it but that may solve your problem.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering, here in Kent our LA provides basic web hosting free to all of the schools. Is this the same across the country? Regards

Thanks everyone, keep them coming. Resin1: We already produce traffic light spreadsheets in SIMS but we want to do that and more :0)

Hi everyone, We are a SIMS school and I believe we have used SIMS AM to its full functionality. We are looking to provide staff with graphs, traffic light indicators etc. by exporting the SIMS data to a third-party application/web site so that we can do this. Some leaflets I have on my desk include Welcome, GO 4 Schools - real-time assessment, attendance and behaviour data online, makes it easy for the SLT, middle leaders, classroom teachers, students and parents to access clear, appropriate, meaningful views of that information - online, 24/7 : GO 4 Sc and stars4schools.com - this is the sort of thing we are looking at. Does anyone have any recommendations on a product that would do this? Possibly one of the above or another is you know of it and know it to be good. Many thanks

Frog servers are linux based, yes.

Summer 20xx?

Hi SYNACK, Thank you. I've seen these and I think they would be ideal to plug a computer into so that pheripherals would automatically have their power cut - monitors, speakers etc. However, I'd like a centrally managed control system for other devices. Something that I can program to power off printers at 4p.m. for example but then still have the central control for when parents' evenings come along, that sort of thing. Regards

Ok, forgot the projector bit. Can we focus on the question?
