    Thank you, the first link seems to only archive pupils data. We need something that will archive all pupil and staff data from the past 10 years or so.

    We recently migrated away from SIMS to Bromcom. As part of the ESS licence agreement we need to delete/remove the SIMS software. In order back up any data that hasn't been migrated over to Bromcom our MIS support providers are charging us to do the following: 1. Generate complete financial records for the current and previous 6 years. 2. Generate a concise and secure summary of your pupil and staff records. Anyone know how we can do this ourselves? It can't be that difficult for them to be charging us for it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sorry, what do you mean by if you have a case? I can send logs, but do you want logs for iDrac, iLO and the SAN?

    Again, I've tried running a scheduled task but it doesn't work with the option 'run whether user is logged on or not'. Again, strange.

    I've actually done that as a workaround. I've put a shortcut to the batch file in the startup folder and it works when a user logs in. However, I wanted the duplication to happen at the logon screen and not when the user has logged on to the PC.

    We have PCs connected to a Promethean interactive screen. The screen usually connects to the PCs HDMI port and the computer monitor to the VGA port. However, when a computer starts up the display is set to extended not clone/duplicate. I've added a GPO startup script (bat file) which includes the following: displayswitch.exe /clone But this doesn't work. The display is still set to extend. The batch file works when I run it manually. We're running Windows 10 on the PCs. Does anyone have any ideas? Am I missing something that is stopping the script executing? Is there a GPO that blocks scripts?

    Could I ask what you mean by that?
  8. CallMeMonks
    Add the script to the startup folder?

    I have BGinfo setup but for some reason it does not apply when a user logs on to a PC/laptop for the first time. The standard Windows wallpaper is shown without any BGinfo data. When the user logs off and back on again the wallpaper and BGinfo data is shown. I have the file BGinfo64.exe, BGinfo.bgi, and the wallpaper JPEG copied to the folder "c:\files" in a seperate computer Group Ploicy which means the files are copied to the C drive before the user has logged on. I then have the following script in a batch file running at user level: reg add HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Sysinternals\BGInfo /v EulaAccepted /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f C:\files\Bginfo64.exe C:\files\SPSBGinfo.bgi /TIMER:00 /nolicprompt Any ideas what's going wrong? The wallpaper and BGinfo data is displayed flawlessly on the second login so I'm not sure what's going on.

    They all have the same wireless network card (Broadcom BCM43142). I've updated them to the latest drivers I could find. I know it's an old wireless card but that shouldn't stop it working.

    I would say max 4/5 clients at any one time.
  12. CallMeMonks
    Yes, and they have been useless.
  13. CallMeMonks
    No, we're not near any radars. Where can I check if it is DFS issues?
  14. CallMeMonks
    Restarting the client and yes, it happens regardless of the security type.

    We've been having issues with our Cisco Meraki wireless setup. Clients are randomly disconnecting from the wireless SSID and losing network connectivity. Only a restart connects the device back to the SSID. The disconnects are very random, sometimes it will start connected for 30 minutes, other times for 3 hours. It's very random. On the Cisco dashboard for the client history there are entries that read: "Successful connection to SSID **SSID_Name** for an hour on AP **AP Name**, but the client unexpectedly disassociated." In the event log there are entries that read: "802.11 disassociationunspecified reason" Can't seem to get to the bottom of why this is happening. The clients are random and not the same model/make, it's happening on different SSIDs and at different times of the day. Spoke to Cisco support and they suggested switching on band steering, which we've done and changing the bit rate and nothing has made any difference. Could anyone help?

    Amazing, thank you. That worked a treat!

    There is no _Install.cmd file... All I see are the following folders/files:

    Sorry, I am being really stupid here but how do I use the downloaded files to install Skype Meetings App? I've gone to the link and downloaded all the files and extracted them to a folder... now what do I do?
  19. CallMeMonks
    I created a new OU, created a new GPO, changed all the items to disable, added the PC in question to the OU, carried out a gpupdate /force, restarted the PC serveral times but nothing changes. Any ideas?
  20. CallMeMonks
    Any idea how to remove the changes? I applied the settings to a PC in a AD OU, removed the PC from the OU but the settings are still present. I tired deleting the correspoding registry items but I am unable to delete them. Any ideas?
  21. CallMeMonks
    Yes, it's applied at the top level.
  22. CallMeMonks
    Could anyone help with this?
  23. CallMeMonks
    Thank you! Your post pointed me in the right direction and I did some further investigation. You're right, a scheduled task can't see a mapped drive. Didn't notice that within the USO configuration there is a section where you can map a drive! Sorted now.

    Just wondering if someone could help... We've set up a new Wireless SSID that we want all the Chromebooks, Android and iOS devices to connect to. I've gone to G Suite Admin > Devices > Networks > Wi-Fi. I've added the new SSID but for some reason the option for Androind and iOS is greyed out. There is a notice that says "You need to enable advanced mobile management to apply the Android and iOS settings." but advanced mobile management is already turned on. We have an old SSID that has both the Android and iOS options checked. Just wondering what's going on here? Is it the case where you can only have one SSID setup for Androind/iOS and I have to first delete the old SSID or is the WiFi settings for Android/iOS set somewhere else? I'm totally at a loss here!

    The USO AutoUpdate update software is installed on the SIMS server so the connect.ini file doesn't have a redirect. It's contents includes the server name, database name etc.
