Andycat Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 How do they logon to them? Following the guide in each box, as .\localuser. Everything online anyway here, and their filtering meant we didn't have to bother setting anything extra up here. Been in use a week now, and no issues so far.
5tu Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 I've found the Windows devices we've received auto logon with the .\localuser account, but only until they connect to the internet. After they've been online they try to auto logon with .\localadmin which of course fails. Is anyone else seeing the same? 1

Not narrowed it down as well as you, but they do occasionally have to switch to localuser. Someone didn't do a good job of that setting! 1
mavhc Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Why don't they just have a list of users to pick from? They're not on a domain after all. 1
StormTrooper59 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 We had 29 Toshiba Windows laptops delivered to us, tested 1 and it auto logged in etc so decided to just give them out as they are. I've had 4 come back to me where it says it needs an email address and password to sign in (MS account). Has anyone else had this ? Is there anything I can do?

Ours were the HPs, though. Are they definitely putting the .\ in .\localuser?
StormTrooper59 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Nope. (Not yet?). Ours were the HPs, though. Are they definitely putting the .\ in .\localuser? I'm getting my colleague to check tomorrow morning, I suspect that they are not and this will resolve it but what is throwing me, is that it actually says to enter email address and not a username.

Just tested one of the uncollected ones. If you use something that doesn't begin .\ it says: You can't sign in with a user ID in this format. Try using your email address instead. Edit: You may need to provide an annotated picture showing where the \ is on the keyboard! Edited July 1, 2020 by LeMarchand
msi_school Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 I have just set an over night image job off on ours, they should be on the standard school image in morning.
paulkerton Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) [ATTACH=CONFIG]58485[/ATTACH] ...and so it begins You (The UK Govt) gave children a 4G connection on their laptop and didn't expect them to use things like video on the paltry data allowance? Video that your own "National Academy" website uses liberally? Edited July 1, 2020 by paulkerton
enjay Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 [ATTACH=CONFIG]58485[/ATTACH] ...and so it begins I've just got that email too. Does anyone know how to get a login for the portal? I tried the details I used when placing the order, but those don't work. I also tried the forgotten password option, as I think that was how you had to register for the ordering site, but it said I don't have an account.

elsiegee40 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 does it say what the data allowance is anywhere? In my Trustees meeting today I was told it was 6Gb/month
enjay Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 does it say what the data allowance is anywhere? 6GB per month for 6 months. No word yet on how to extend it beyond the 6 months.
Andycat Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 We've been told 8gb? Is it different depending whether it's Social Care or School?
enjay Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Sorry, you're right. It was originally 6 but was increased to 8.
gopher_1999 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Hi We just received our Dynabook Satellite Pros. Essentially a netbook with Windows 10. Does anyone know the Bios password on them?
6Foot2 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Hi We just received our Dynabook Satellite Pros. Essentially a netbook with Windows 10. Does anyone know the Bios password on them? I found one without a BIOS password. The rest had passwords, and I was unable to get more info, so I sent those out as they came (after checks)
paulkerton Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Sorry, you're right. It was originally 6 but was increased to 8. I think that is the second increase, pretty sure it was 3 to start with, then 6 and now 8.
jmak Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Hi We just received our Dynabook Satellite Pros. Essentially a netbook with Windows 10. Does anyone know the Bios password on them?Well.... There's an official process, which will differ depending what you're of school you are (MAT/maintained) and who the laptop was supplied to (social care or LA). It looks very long and mostly works. Or, see this post further up this thread: https://www.edugeek.net/showthread.php?p=1849218 (But don't tell the students....)

I went through these steps yesterdayhttps://www.computacenter.com/uk/uk/supporting-remote-education-and-social-care/preparing-microsoft-windows-laptops-and-tablets and it worked except when they sent the wrong password but that did get resolved
Sonic007 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 I thought I'd need the BIOS to change boot order but logging in as the localadmin I was able to launch Windows10 installer and re-install fresh version of Windows.
kennysarmy Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 I received them, I put asset stickers on them, I checked they turned on, I put them in a box, I gave them to the pastoral team. I got on with others things. So students are now emailing in saying they can't install Office!!!
