I phoned them a couple of days ago to cancel and they gave me the 90 days T&C spiel. They're saying I haven't called support to sort anything out since 2017 - which is probably true - gave up on their support ages ago. Has anyone managed to successfully get out of their contract in the 90 day period ??

Pugh.co.uk are helpful. Prices are ok too.

I'm thinking of bringing very heavy things to throw at their stand for Windows 10!

Still on 1607 LTSB. Don't have any problems and I'm not looking at changing it either !! (Yet)

In Azure cloud theres options to auto assign licenses too. Thats handy!

Username differences shouldn't matter. You can actually set up to work sync'd... which is better because managing accounts online is a pain if you have a lot. As long as you have you have a UPN suffix in your forest to match your external domain you can set a property in the teachers AD account..... 'ProxyAddress' (this is where you can set a different username and domain from their AD user name). As long as the users object has the correct UPN suffix selected and the correct ProxyAddress configured it should sync without creating duplicates.

Thank you @net-Crtl I'll look at this in the new year. I do not want to bork it on the last day !!! Many thanks for your help.

Yep. On this version my AP's are covered.

Hi all, I'm looking at doing a firmware upgrade on a fairly aged Ruckus Zone Director ZD1100. B*gger me if I can can find a suitable upgrade path of firmwares. It's currently on 9.8.3.0 build 14 and I want to get it up to 9.10.2.0.63 (MR2 Refresh4). A straight upgrade isn't officially supported and I really can't afford to break it. Any idea's anyone ??? Cheers in advance

a) You should be able to schedule every x (time) but you need to time it right so you don't get multiple tasks running concurrently. The first run will take much longer than subsequent 'syncs'. b) Depends on your switches. Look at the technet link I put there.... my command keeps perms, overwrites older, retries 3 time every x seconds, etc etc. I'd run it over a weekend and have your new path ready for a Monday morning. Like I said... depends on how much data you have and the number of files. Mine took about 2 days over a gigabit LAN but was about 5TB of data. Look at your trigger options in Task Scheduler.

Doesnt matter as long as you draw a map. Our rooms keep changing names which makes this a flipping nightmare for me.

Funny that Exa aren't all over this thread like a rash..... They usually are when anyone mentions them.

FreeServe.... is it still 1996 ??

MS cmd util Robocopy will do this fine for you. You might have to run a scheduled task to fire each copy task off from a batch file. How much data ?? EDIT: I did this recently from one Windows file server to another.... robocopy "%SOURCEFILEPATH%" "%DESTFILEPATH%" /e /r:3 /w:5 /fp /zb /COPY: DATSO https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy

Yuk! Keep that to yourself @Fazza

Yep. But the option of cloud filtering offered by some ISP's looks tempting for smaller organisations... although there's no shortage of them either. I've never had an outage from the last two ISP's I've chosed ... Virgin and Zen re-selling Virgin. Might be due to a well covered location though.

Zen Internet here all the way. Extremely reliable service and support is A1++.

You used to need modify permissions on a few files in c:\progra~1\Sims directory... but not for ages. Get them un-admin'd

@Brimstone Tested this out with a teacher this afternoon... exactly what they wanted. I had it installed on our 'pads from another teacher a while back but never knew what it was for. Please accept this virtual pint as a reward for your help m8 :) :) EDIT: Sorry, forgot to say 'Thank you.'

Hi all, Does anyone know of an app teachers could create multiple choice quizzes with ??? We've got some ancient Promethean Activote pods that they want to use but ..... ancient and no software or drivers. Cheers in advance

Yeah. Easy. Put it in the loft if they want cloud. :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

Then your guys are talking B*ll*x. You can do that for a grand in a day.
