I obtained this from Capita support last week, resource number 23379. Apparently it was released 10 October.

Sure, feel free. We are not a direct Emerge customer, but our VLE uses Emerge to write back data to the MIS. As a result, any communication I've had from Groupcall support has been through the VLE provider. It's my understanding that Groupcall believe we are the only school to use Emerge on VMWare (and have problems), so I thought it would useful to gauge whether other schools are experiencing problems and just not reporting them.

I have Groupcall Emerge installed on a 2008R2 VM with 2 sockets/2 cores and 8GB RAM, running SIMS and SQL 2012 Express on ESXi 5.5. When Emerge is running it will loop between using 50% CPU across all 4 cores for approx 3 mins, then drop back to 0% for 1 minute. Left over time, I have seen Emerge's CPU usage go up to 90%. We are not currently writing any data via Emerge, so this is apparently just Emerge polling. Other services/apps (eg SQL) are running normally when Emerge is stopped and not consuming half or more of the CPU time. After several remote sessions, Groupcall have concluded that this is due to an incompatibility with VMWare. Is anyone running Emerge on VMWare VMs, if so do you experience this CPU usage issue? Thanks

Have you checked the web filtering? I've had issues with various Google apps and sign-in on Android devices not working because they need access to Google Plus, as well as a few more obscure addresses. Probably worth running a netsweeper report against an affected IP. In the past I've also had problems with apps and Play Store failing to connect, or downloading very slowly. However this problem only affected the transparent proxy service, not the main proxied network. This magically seem to fix itself, presumably as a result of a change Updata made to the network at some point. Perhaps it's worth trying the transparent proxy if you think that's the likely cause: http://hics.lea.herts.sch.uk/tech/?page_id=57

What's the format of your csv? Are the e-mail addresses of Exchange and Google the same or different? I vaguely recall getting the oauth message a couple of times, but it's been a while since I ran it. I think my issue may have been related to an error in the CSV. Is there anything in the error details when you click the help link next to the oauth error? Edit: When prompted for an exchange user, are you specifying a domain admin?

Yes, that will work.

24 hours is pretty optimistic. Some of our accounts took days to transfer. Thankfully it does transfer newest data first, so it should just be historical data that isn't there straight away.

The use of RealSmart for account provisioning and SSO shouldn't affect use of the GAMME tool. It works fairly reliably, though you should note the 1 message per second per user max transfer rate. The tool will allow you to process multiple users at once (25 by default), though you can increase this, and/or run GAMME on multiple computers and process them in separate batches. The admin guide had a helpful table that indicates what data the tool will ams won't handle. When we were using RealSmart, I recreated the domain groups in RealSmart and had them sync across, or created them directly in Google.

Was anything announced?

A very similar question was asked last week: http://www.edugeek.net/showthread.php?t=130187 The solution won't affect applications you can't identify by process (eg websites) and doesn't directly address the human behaviour problem as has already been stated.

Yes: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/81825-sims-net-timeout.html

Our support unit will not release SOLUS3 to secondary schools at the moment.

I logged on as the SOLUS user to enter the IE proxy details. I've also tried using the proxy switches without any success. Even if the proxy were the issue, I'd expect it to record something in the solus.log.

It's all local, except where it's connecting to the internet to download updates from schools manager. Program/script: "D:\SIMS-SP\SIMS .net\SOLUS.exe" Arguments: /USER=SYSMAN /PASSWORD=password /Auto=downloadandupgrade /AGREETOTERMS /FORCEUPGRADE /SAUSER=sa /SAPASSWORD=sapassword Start in: D:\SIMS-SP\SIMS .net\

I've tried turning UAC off. The administrators group has "logon as batch", although I've just tried adding the user explicitly: still no change. Yes, I've logged on as the user and successfully run SOLUS interactively.

Having migrated a SIMS installation to a new Server 2012 VM, I have come to recreate the scheduled task to run SOLUS to automatically download and upgrade the SIMS server. I've used the same task parameters as the 2003 server and created a local admin account with which to run the task. Despite having set the option to run the task regardless of whether the user is logged on, it only runs if the task user is logged on. I can RDP in as the SOLUS user, disconnect the session, then login as a domain Admin and run the task successfully. As soon as I sign out the SOLUS user, the solus.log is no longer updated when the task is run. I've tried changing the task settings such as target OS, highest privilege etc. Any suggestions?

Number 30, thanks.

Ditto the good experience and excellent support. Have bought Stone servers almost exclusively for the past six years. I have gone with Viglen more recently due to price. Like RM, Viglen etc, Stone supply Intel Server Systems. I haven't had to completely strip one, but replacing RAM, HDDs, fans is simple enough.

I've haven't had to share anything with everyone, but creating such a group sounds easy enough: Create a group with everyone in your organization - Google Apps Help

We're using Google Cloud Print with cloud-ready and classic printers. I am using Chrome on the print server to share the classic printers at the moment, but intend to install the service at some point: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/cloudprintservice It's worth noting that when sharing a printer with a group, a group owner will need to accept the share on behalf of the group (from the Google cloud print page) before it will be accessible to users.

This is using HP's UPD PCL5, albeit a relatively old one (5.4) on a standard TCP/IP port. I have 32 and 64-bit editions of the driver installed as most of our clients are still 32-bit. Advanced printing features is disabled on advanced tab.

This combination definitely works, 4100 and 4200 were no problem when I migrated, as far as I can remember. Have you tried disabling Advanced Features, Print Optimisations, Mopier Mode?
