We have one of these for our onsite backup solution. It backups up everything onsite and also everything in 365. Had to restore a SharePoint site which some completely messed up and it didn't take long and was super easy, 3 clicks. Synology offer licence-free apps for 365 so you only need to pay for the NAS and disks. https://www.synology.com/en-uk/products/RS2421+

Hi All... Who here uses a status page within their school and do the staff actually use it? How do you get staff to use it without ringing, email or coming through the door? If you have a status page what is on your page, can you list them? Also how do you manage the statuses when something goes down like the Printers? I know this will be different for all schools but it'll be really interesting to know what people are doing and what is being listed. Cheers for now!

Hi, Has anyone had issues with setting this GPO "Exclude specific kinds of files from being uploaded"? - Use OneDrive policies to control sync settings - OneDrive | Microsoft Docs I've set it for the following extensions, however it doesn't work at all *.lnk *.msi *.exe *.url Has anyone got it working? I can see the policy applied as its visible in Registry. Basically, the reason I'm doing this is because staff move around computers & Teams creates a shortcut for the user if they haven't logged onto the computer before.... Within 2 weeks staff will have 4-5 copies of Teams shortcuts syncing to their OneDrive desktop!!

Thanks... I will speak with our account manager to see if this is something we can get setup.

Securly have an awesome solution for staff to lookup websites to check that students can access it before the class starts - https://www.securly.com/lookup-tool/ We recently started using smoothwall and it doesn't look like they offer such a product at the moment! Does anyone know of a bit of software or a website so staff can check the filter status of websites for students?

Do you host 3CX locally or cloud? If cloud... which one, I was looking at AWS but then I'm swaying towards Azure.

What phones systems are you all using? We use FreePBX for the moment but looking at 3CX to replace FreePBX... although I heard Unifi Talk could be coming to the UK very soon, it is worth holding out...? What are your thoughts?

Nice!! Is this using a dock... if so which one? Or is it a desktop with multi port GPU? On the note about docks... Anyone got any recommendations to get up to 4 screens with a laptop?

Alcohol

Does anyone know if Microsoft will be releasing an education version of Windows 11 and when will it be available to download? Cheers!
