    Hello! Thanks for the reply. So I’m looking for some software to upload policies and procedures too that can alert us to when they maybe due for review. Something like Every HR but I’m just wondering what others may use? I’d like it to hold things like Health and Safety info and items about the Estate. A helpdesking system would also be a bonus to assign tickets and asset management. thanks again!

    Hello Does anyone have any suggestions for some software for compliance and operation management for a school? Preferably with some sort of sync with Bromcom or SSO with Office 365

    Hello, I’m wondering if anyones got any suggestions for a simple tool that we can use to add users to active directory? I’d like to be able to setup templates so that the team have a simple way of adding the user to the correct OU and additionally adding the correct security groups to the added user. It’s to try and avoid user error when adding users onto the system. Bulk creation would be good to this would avoid the use of power shell. Thanks

    Hello, 2 Questions: Do you have a link to the development ideas form please? Also we've been using the Alerts system this morning and a number of staff have said it sends a notifcation email to there school and personal email, is there a way of turning this off just so it does to the school one. Thanks!

    Just checking out the new alerts system, looks good. However how do we add custom reasons for alerts? We use it primarily for a pastoral incident when i teacher needs a member of the pastoral team during a lesson to come up, there doesn't seem to be this option. Thanks

    Hello, I’m just wondering if anyone on here can recommend a decent helpdesk system for education? We’re looking at something not just for IT but also for the premises team and maybe others to log and receive tickets etc. Office 365 integration would be preferable. Thanks in advance,

    Hello! Wondering if anyone has any suggestions to this particular problem. Ive been tasked to find a computer bench (I suppose round) to place 4 computers on. We kind of want to use it as an information technology pod for surfing the web etc and place the 4 computers on the table with dividers between each one so students can just use them as and when. Has anyone got any suggestions on places to buy something like this? Ive posted a link below to the kind of thing we have in mind but a bit smaller: Modern Style Office Round Workstation For Four Persons for sale - Price,China Manufacturer,Supplier 1065185 Thanks

    Hope you get is sorted! Its very confusing, some machines of the same sort build (very few) most just hang at the additional packages part. All my other machines build just the new laptops and desktops don't! Ahhhh! Stressing me out! So I'm hoping its just a driver issue, ill try some other versions tommrow and pray! In the mean time I hope you get sorted!

    Thanks so much would be really grateful if you can check when you can. The machines all PXE boot and it gets to just after the bootstrapper phase of the install so I'm not sure adding them to a build disk would help? Whats the problem your having with RMMC maybe we can help! Thanks

    Thanks for your help on this! Would it be possible to tell me if your cards are Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller and when driver version you may have? I'll give the package build group a go in the morning. Thanks again Steve

    Got an issue thats baffling me at the minute, we've just purchased a number of new HP machines (Laptops and Desktops) I tested and built one of each before ordering using the RM Build Client. But weirdly on build at the install 'additional packages stage' they all but a few seem to fail. The Desktops use a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller card as my assumption was the network card? All other computers can still be imaged, and we're on a CC4 network. The driver version for that card it the latest one and I've checked on the machines and they all run the same driver! Ive reset the server host and cleared the Microsoft queuing list as asked to do by RM, has anyone got any windows 7 machines with those cards running correctly on an RM System? Of course that is me assuming its the cards fault! Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm fast running out of ideas! Thanks Steve
  13. steveo2000
    Yes we are CC4 but CC4 Ten so vanilla network also should we wish

    Hi Wondering if anyones got any ideas, we have numerous io 7 devices and we can't seem to download apps in school anymore. We can search the store, find the app, sign in and click install. The app then shoots the the main screen as expected but then hangs on the downloading icon, this also happens when trying to re download apps in school. Has anyone got any ideas? I wasn't sure if it was a port issue or something? We do use a proxy server though RM's broadband I've contacted them but they don't seem sure. Thanks Steve

    Hi all, Using Windows XP and Server 2003 Im at a bit of a loss and struggling to sort an issue out, wondering if anyone can help. We use GPO to configure by user the Internet Explorer proxy settings, this of course works a treat! However some of the lovely children have found out that if you login to the system and while the machine is loading your preferences pull out the network cable it give you complete access to the local machine once loaded and the cable put back in!!! We have 2 proxy servers one using the local authorities on minimal filtering and the other an internal censornet proxy, both work well together when polices are applied but by Default the MACHINE picks up on the local authorities and gives the kids access to more than they should get when it gets this local account. Is there a way network wide I can set the proxy server to the internal one via the machine not user? but this also must allow me to change it when I logon temporarily should I need access to more sites? Thanks hope ive explained this ok! Steve

    Im looking for a brand of memory stick that is both MAC and Windows compatible preferably without having to have a client application installed on the machines! Anyone got any suggestions? These would be given out to all staff for sensitive data should it be required. Thanks Steve

    Wondering if anyone can help me as this is driving me insane!! Using Group Policy i've applied a nice new background to the staff logon, however the background image/colour appears through on the icon words on the desktop making the image look rubbish! Is there a way to stop this and make it transparent? Ive tried BMP and JPG images and im running out of ideas! Ive logged in locally and tried it and it works fine so its a GPO issue somewhere I guess. To do this normally it would be the "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" setting in performance options, this is on so I have no idea what im doing wrong. If someone has a wallpaper applied through AD out there and it works without this issue can you tell me what your setting are.... please help! Thanks Steve
  21. steveo2000
    Thanks for the reply, we have one of those in IT2 and I must say it is good, however this is a Level 2 bid and they've said no more than £1000! Darn!
  22. steveo2000
    The design department have asked me to source an A3 scanner for around £1000, has anyone got any ideas on good ones!? I dont have a clue in this area! Thanks Steve
  23. steveo2000
    Yes but even after if was replaced it was still a DELL

    I have to agree with most of these posts, seems people are seeing the light, go for the MacBook! I have a Windows Domain at work but work entirely on a MacBook while there! It may seem expensive but like said above the service is also what you pay for! I had a Squeaky hinge on my MacBook went to the Apple Store and they swapped the whole LCD Display! Try getting that at PC World! Very Happy!

    both products are fantastic as far as i'm concerned, at are school we're hoping to use both. Ive had Ranger installed and i dont think its as expensive as £7000! I would only however go for the Ranger for Networks side of things as the other parts like print manager etc are not really used here. Its kind of like a very simple and easy to use Active Directory making applying polices etc really easy. Impero does a heck of a lot more and makes the network more secure im just waiting on Impero 3 to be out properly before getting it. I would say if your happy using AD to add users and make polices etc then get Impero if not get Ranger. To give you an idea we have a quote for Impero for 300 machines for about £2700 and I dont think Rangers much more!
