Just to clarifiy: You have an iSCSI LUN shared on the ReadyNAS You connect to this from a Server 2008R2 machine (sees it as a disk) You have partitioned the disk within Server 2008R2 machine You are able to copy files locally as admin on the server 2008R2 machine You have shared folders/drive from the 2008R2 machine via SMB on your network You can see folders/files on the server 2008R2 share from other machines but cannot write If above is correct, have you checked share permissions (not NTFS)? I think default is read only... If you think about it from a storage point of view - if you had a machine with a disk connected via SATA, and you could write locally, but not remotely to it, would you think an issue with the disk/sata or with the remote access onto the machine?

Website is fairly poor at the moment - last time I spoke to them they were in the process of changing their visitor management from locally installed to web based, and also changing the integration with their access management. I think this is why some of the links don't go to the right place currently.

We have them for our door access - we also use their older version of visitor management. Company always been helpful, came and did the original install for us as well.

Could you do this with DFS replication? I think that would also use various tools to compress the data stream and send chunks as bandwidth allows (and I think you can schedule replication).

To qualify my previous post - the usefulness and impact of a boiler control system will depend on your current heating/boiler setup - we're an old building, and only have control of the pumps for the main block, a second block and the hot water system (and control over the boilers firing) - we loose out on local control (or more localised control) as there are no valves/pumps to control anywhere else. The best function and cost savings/energy efficiency are gained where you can locally control rooms or an area using thermostats and valves - something we cannot do - as you can reduce the amount of heating required area by area, reducing the unneccessary flow of heat to areas which are already warm and reducing the requirement for boilers firing. For example, we have 3 sensors in our main block - one's currently at 21.6 the other two at 18.8, so the heating is being called (we heat rooms to 19), if we had local control of valves, we could have switched off flow to the entirety of our upstairs. Also, some of our sensors and valves in the boiler house are at end of life - sensors returning open paths, valves not closing when told to by the control system, boilers firing of their own accord - so be very firm in ensuring that all sensors and valves are checked for operation when the system is put in.

We have a Delta Controls system in. Seems fairly good, but support hasn't been the best and there are some aspects of our 40yr old system which struggle with it

Could it be to do with a power state they're going into on shutdown/hibernate? Can you test how long you have to leave unplugged for the machine to start playing again?

Old CPUs (x5690 rather than E5 series and old motherboard as well) and slow RAM (where's the 2800MHz DDR3?)... and come on... just water cooling? where's the Liquid nitrogen

From the quick bits I've looked at, it seems that CASL is similar to ZFS in terms of ZFS having SLOG (not caching but speeds up sync writes... big explanation required) and L2ARC (SSD caching of most frequently used data) - I wonder if CASL has the equivalent of ARC as well (RAM caching of most recently used data)? And if the write caching buffers non-sync io (which I believe is what SMB/CIFS is)? It may also be worth a look at Nexenta - Software Defined Storage, have a few resellers in the UK - it's what I based our self build on - we didn't go with Nexenta as there weren't any Xeon E5 certified platforms when we were looking to buy, and I didn't want to be on out of date tech.

On that sort of scale it may be worth looking at Luxriot on a Windows server for storage (assuming you want recording from cameras). If you want to do motion detection you'll either need cameras that the software will support the hardware detection, or some decent CPU power. We currently run nearly 40 cameras ranging from old analogues to 5mp hemispheric domes with motion detection on quite a few on a quad core xeon (all software based). Our storage server has a load of WD raptors (though looking at the disk load we could probably have got away with a load of 7200rpm 1TB drives in decent RAID10). Cameras and software from use-ip.co.uk - Phil there is very helpful and stocks a good range of cameras.

From a brief skim, I see no reason you couldn't do this on an Openindianna or OmniOS installation rather than Solaris. I wonder if there's some poking you could do to allow auth against AD and direct to folder based on AD username...

Is anyone using the above or have experience of it? It's been mentioned by our CoreSLT as we look at getting a new website, one of the firms also provides the above VLE. We currently have Frog and I'm looking forward to FrogOS, but have to look as asked

Hmmm, might see if I can get them to do that on ours so I can install Xenserver tools... may make it perform a little better!

Have a HTC HD7 for personal and a Lumia 820 for work... may try and force this update at home later

Firework lighting time...

No limits on shares, and I had the same thoughts... unless @Simcfc73 found a solution, I'm going to have to go back to the company and approach them on SQL express route...

Have done that - they have previously blamed storage back end... I've now tried 3 different storage backends...

It's not an MS SQL database, it's an access mdb file stored on a network share, on a server OS (in my case solaris based OS sharing via CIFS)

@Simcfc73 did you have any luck with this - we're also seeing issues with Food in Focus, MDB is stored on a SAN/NAS device served by CIFS. Cheers Will

Where does the requirement for not having the leading 9 come from? From what I remember, on military bases you have to dial the leading 9, and from what I remember my wife telling me from when she worked in hospitals there was a leading 9 for calling ES. As long as the procedure is clearly stated by phones, there should be no issue - in fact, most of the fire action stickers have blank space for you to fill in how to call the fire brigade... Ours is setup so that you hit 9 before any external number, including 999 and 112

I would only be looking to replace if new features/failure warranted it - for example, if multitouch would be useful then buy newer multitouch boards and get rid of the old ones. Maybe keep one in reserve incase one of the newer ones fails

Yes, you probably do need a MAC, is your current provider refusing to give you a MAC?

Tablets and management software (and curriculum software) FrogOS Adobe Creative Suite (or alternatives) with the hope of forcing upgrade pricing from Macromedia MX04 Wifi replacement 10GbE Networking I'll be the one with a headteacher on a lead (he's the one after Tablets and other Shiny things - I'm the one after the infrastructure to support)

If it's anything like the rubbish setups of other RBCs, it'll be a webserver with DB on it, so as soon as SQL load increases, PHP fails due to SQL queries failing - they still haven't worked out to split the DB load off to some high spec servers (ie 64GB RAM, SSDs) and have web servers being just that... web servers.

Unless you add the command line column to task manager and you can see the location it's running from (ie svchost.exe outside of windows\system32 would be a flag up)
