  1. You'd leave it blank with known folder moves taking care of it so the My Documents link points directly to onedrive.
  2. PS3's are reasonably reliable short of drive issues and those are usually cleaning matters - 2's and 4's were shoddy (dust ingress & overheating on both).
  3. Just do it - you can pick up PS3's for a tenner a pop with games and controllers. Our local auction house has them and PS4's in every other week and they often sell in batches of 3 for 20 quid (the ps4's usually go for about 40).
  4. Got a week left here, but with a raft of changes occuring over the summer it's a busy one! Currently we're on the first steps of migrating lock stock to 365, file wise. Wouldn't be an issue until I have to go through all the files with stupid names over 255 characters long that won't otherwise migrate. C:\I dont get\why people\feel the need\to organise\into folders\foreverylittlething\1. then decide to\2. have duplicates of those folders\3. within other folders\and then have a load of files\deep inside those folders\who's filenames were lifted from the entire\first paragraph of the file they were working on\because they couldnt\be bothered to\correctly\save\their\work.docx
  5. Click the open in sharepoint button and you can do it from within there.
  6. Won a competition to name the pit complex at Silverstone 10 years ago. At the opening, met and spoke to . Moss, Hill, Coulthard, Webber, Button, Stewart, Williams, Horner, Brawn to name a few. Sat on Hamilton's 2008 car and Senna's MP4/4. Saw Murray Walker but despite all the above names and chats, was too starstruck to talk.
  7. Catch-22 unfortunately, and a careful balancing act. If it's someone messing around with no harmful intent, it's left. If someone is really taking the biscuit, they'll be dealt with.
  8. We've used the SHARP system for years, it is anonymous if they want it to be. Yes it can lead to false positives and abuse, but after the initial spate you'd get, if you have anything like Impero or Senso you can find out who quite easily and resolve it. Word gets round easy enough.
  9. Very much so - the level of IT taught in many primaries is below acceptable standards IMO. We rarely have people come up to our secondary who are even aware of the function of the Shift key. These are the same people that get in all sorts of trouble on a Chromebook as it doesn't have the caps lock they know and love.
  10. Especially as they have no control over themselves (sorry, too dark?)
  11. Random thought - this very sentence applies to both this last post and the very first post in this thread.
  12. Have done the above very recently but limited to files created prior to 1 month ago - ~ prefixes quite a few autorecovery documents which have often got people out of a tight spot with our help! Certainly worth doing - I think my method was searching on ~$*.* or something.
  13. I think many of us would love to, but when your phones instantly hang up after saying there's noone to take your call constantly, it's a little unhelpful.
  14. As above, used FS.com for years and never, ever had an issue + full warranty on all of it should something stop working. Used on Ubiquiti & Aruba/HPE without problem.
  15. There's a few solutions available for remote connected devices, both from a provider level and a local management level (i.e. Lightspeed filtering, Senso management). I do however wonder what the actual requirement is - *is it* a requirement for schools to provide filtered access? I assume the only reason this is likely to be the case is because the school are providing it so covering themselves for liability reasons?
  16. Reminds me of this local gem a few years ago https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-38682424
  17. Surely that isn't right - none of that documentation is a rulebook and all of it only applies for the circumstances for which they were distributed in the first place?
  18. I suppose it did have the saving grave of Christopher Lloyd kicking butt though!
  19. Wonder how many more John Wick clones we'll get. Nobody was bad enough.
  20. Definitely thin image. SCCM or MDT if you're secondary, or MDT if primary. Plenty of guides - SCCM best guides are windowsnoob.com and MDT is really well documented - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/deploy-windows-mdt/deploy-a-windows-10-image-using-mdt and needs no further investment in tech or cost. SCCM has benefits such as full AV and patch management, inventory control, simplified unifications with Azure, Office 365 etc which is definitely beneficial in larger estates.
  21. All the better MIS providers will be able to pull in all of this data, historical or otherwise - unsure why you would need anything separate. Have you spoken to the new provider?
  22. We've gone for geoblocking known "bad actor" countries such as brazil, china, venezuala etc. One false positive in circa 8 years.
  23. I'd go as far as saying the removal of RM's systems is likely one of the most popular topics in past years, although not so much these days as it's absolutely not as prevalent as it once was.
  24. Get an off-the-shelf price for SLT for replacement of all the hardware and the labour/time involved in it.
