Has anyone installed XAMPP in their Windows VM on Virtualbox?

Try Avente email [email protected] We use them any time we need any network cabling work done.

When we only had a staff email domain we were providing HUP (Home Use Program) and it worked well as only staff could get verified via email address. Now we have moved to Gmail and have a School wide email domain the email verification doesnt work as students could also get verified. WAH (Work at Home) is the other option because through Kivuto I have set up an "On the Hub" portal where I can upload users so that verification is done by the admin rather than the users email. Only issue is that WAH is meant to be "for work related use" only whereas HUP was for "personal use" too. I have a few users who are now asking if they can get copies of Office at home but I am not sure if WAH is a good option or not? Because we are a Gmail house I dont want to set up an Office365 tenancy just for a few staff to get Office365 at home.

One of my resellers got me a good price on Crucial RAM so order has been placed.

I'm sorry I didn't have any issues like that.

@ICTDirect_Dave can you help?

Same situation as me but the replacement battery also showed as failed. The management software shows up the issue as 'minor' so hopefully the server will not develop any other faults.

So possibly received a duff replacement battery? Will talk to supplier on Monday about get it swapped for another.

The Smart Storage Battery on our HP DL380 Gen9 server died. I purchased another and installed it but this is also coming up as failed. Is there somewhere in the management software I need to enable the battery or something? Could it be another issue?

Not a Dell warranty. That finished now we have a break/fix 3rd party warranty.

I need to add 16GB RAM to our Dell T630 server. Should I be going for Dell Certified RAM or would "approved" RAM be ok? Difference in price is about £50 per 8GB stick.

Ok that didnt work. Looks like it is an Unbuntu command in that article. Anyone have any ideas please?

I think I found the answer, will try it tomorrow. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17218

So now I have deployed a new exe which loads the VM using VboxSDL but now users are complaining that the arrow keys in the VM no longer function. With num lock off the arrow keys work. Put num lock on so you can use the number keypad then the arrow keys print numbers instead of navigating up/down left/right. Any ideas how to fix this please?

Perfect, that worked!

@Steve21 mentioned VboxSDL way back in this thread. I am trying to use it to launch the Virtualbox VM without using the Virtualbox Manager but get the same message as others; SDL Error: 'DirectInputDevice::SetDataFormat: Invalid parameters" Anyone know how to get around this please?

I know that Google are having issues with their G Suite services currently. Could this be related? https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en-GB&v=status

That's a good price on Amazon.

Yes I mean on the server. I will try it using RSAT.

Can anyone recommend any wireless over-the-ear headphones for use in the Gym? Don't like in-the-ear so want some noise cancelling cans that are sweat resistant.

I just revisiting this as I need to implement it for our Primary School as they are getting MicroBits. I am trying to set the GPO but cannot find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\FVE This is on Server 2008 R2. Am I missing something?

Going to see Mash Report being recorded on Thursday.

Got mine too. Thanks

Sorted now. My own stupidity, i forgot to tag the uplink port on the BYOD VLAN because I was setting up the switch in my office.
