  1. For deals and savings. Topcashback - Onlinecashback site, great for things like insurance, they also have topgiftcards which can be handy for things like airbnb/asda purchases. Hotukdeals - Can be a mixed bag but occasionally there's deals that are hard to miss or freebies. Moneysupermarket - Quite a good centralised spot for all things savings & financial advice. Chase bank currently have a referral scheme - £50 for signing up with a code and transferring £1k to the account. After a month or so, you can get your own 5 referrals - £50 each. Theres a 2% cashback up to £20 now on fuel/groceries etc.
  2. Thanks! it failed over night for me but I am trying to use supersedence, which could be why.
  3. Ah damn you're right installed it etc think support sent the wrong link
  4. Had the latest version from support which will hopefully fix your install issues The MSI can be found here: https://packages.widgit.com/latest/InPrint_en-gb.msi And the required, accompanying CAB file, here: https://packages.widgit.com/latest/ResourceFiles_en-gb.cab
  5. Aye, it seems fine for new installs but there's just a few that appear to have got stuck in a loop or incorrectly think it's already installed. Once this new version is released I'll probably add it as a new app and then try supersedence so hopefully it just updates the existing ones rather than installs it all again
  6. Ah thanks, I'll wait for that version before upgrading. Maybe it'll fix my issue aswell. Though mine is annoyingly bizarre, have 3 sites that went full intune over summer. Most of the devices are fine, some all in ones keep reinstalling it, some class mini pcs won't install it at all but Intunes all happy and saying they're installed. No issues on any of the laptops though. As I say that, a ticket pops up - it's disappeared again!
  7. Have been targetting device, I've just heard back from support and they're aware of an issue with 4.2.5 having issues installing via Intune, my current package is 4.2.216.0 though. I've switched the detection rules to MSI to see if that helps. Half tempted to manually install at some point as it's so unpredictable!
  8. Having an issue with InPrint4 on my intune devices, it's deployed as a WIN32 and for the most part has successfully deployed to all the new Intune PC's. The issue is that it randomly disappears, I'm assuming it's trying to reinstall but even then it's sometimes only reappearing after a week which is delightful in an SEN provision and having to rely on the S in Intune. The detection is linked to the program file path, which is what was reccomended in the Inprint guide, has anyone had a similar issue? I've just remotely turned on one of the desktops and signed in, Inprint was there for a few mins before disappearing. Other than Chrome which likes to try reinstall but doesn't actually remove anything I've not had any other issues.
  9. I've used Re-com who are affilated with Green recycling I believe, bought 40 odd laptops and 40 iPads. Mostly Dell Latitude 9430's which are lovely, i7 12th gen 16gb for £349
  10. Yeap, I brought 40 odd from Re-com (affiliated with Green recycling) and had no issues so far though still have a few to setup. Used to buy new but the £80-90 price increase was hard to justify when can get 9th Gen refurbed for £129 and in my case got stm dux plus cases as a free bonus. Had got a quote for new with our regular supplier but told them I just wanted the licenses.
  11. Going out of my mind with this, I've deployed Office2024 to a load of PC's via Intune. Staff member realised they couldn't save as to PDF, it's just not an option. I initially thought it was because I disabled PDF in the office config (after hearing it gets rid of the silly subscription button), reenabled it and redeployed the updated xml. Waited a while/force sync'd and in the end just opted to install office365 apps manually. Issue still remained despite the fresh install. I've played with disabling the 'adobe pdf' addon but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. Theres nothing under registry that I can see and opening word in safe mode displays the option to save as PDF. I can't see it being an Intune policy as my Intune laptop that shares most of the same policies but has the 365apps config is working as expected. Any ideas?
  12. Yeah https://status.arbor-education.com/
  13. Kicked me off last year, I'm now using neetodesk which is a little clunky at times but works relatively well and very similar to freshdesk. Free for first 10 agents, then $5 a month for extras. I think everything except custom branding is included in the freeplan.
  14. I had this assigned this morning Role: Purview Workload Content Writer Assigner: PurviewRoleAssignmentMigrator
  15. Apologies on resurrrecting this thread but was wondering if you'd had any progress with this? I've been waiting a few months and have tested flex on a few of our dfe netbooks and it's like a new laptop super snappy. 60-70 doorstops currently, even just a set of 10-15 would be nice to just chuck at people if they needed to do some basic things.
  16. I managed to get Sophos through SWGFL via Phoenix in the end, I think they're less stubborn with new customers. It's also now on a yearly basis rather than 3. https://swgfl.phoenixs.co.uk/SWGfL-Sophos/index.aspx
  17. Have the same, admin button isn't working via that page either. Surprisingly not had any staff complain yet!
  18. Also had this, our safeguarding lead called the number and apparently he'd emailed 24000 schools. I do think the guys an idiot for doing it this way though. Looks like spam, will worry the majority that see the email. All he had to do was put 'Exemplar education' in the subject title or the first line. Instead it comes across as fearmongering when the vast majority of schools won't have even heard of this provider.
  19. Good afternoon, Was wondering if anyone had any advice on finding a solution to a problem I have. We have a Post 16 site, that's been somewhat of a nightmare. Old youth centre, buildings in a bit of a state. Don't have much control over it so my options feel limited. Currently there is a 5g DLINK mobile router providing internet with sophos filtering/smooth wall monitor etc. Not ideal but they were there 2 days a week and didn't have laptops till earlier this year. The building is pretty large, classroom on one side with a laptop trolley, long hall way leading to a large social area and then an office where staff sometimes work and use the printer. The classroom + office are at opposite ends to each other. I'm wondering what the best solution internet wise would be to provide them with something sufficient to keep them going from anywhere between a few months to a year, knowing this council potentially longer. (Been a year so far) There is a broadband line already, based in the office but under the impression we don't have permission to use this as of yet and even then it's at the furthest point to the classroom. Wouldn't really have permissions to do cable runs either and the current router isn't sufficient.
  20. Thanks for this, I was hoping not to move but it may be the case that I'm forced too. The bitdefender price through SWGFL actually looks pretty good but it's a shame it's also through Phoenix who haven't impressed at all with this. Especially as they didn't alert me to there being a better SWGFL price for defender and instead quoted me almost double. Pretty shocking imo.
  21. In this situation currently, renewal quote was 330% more than the SWGFL price. Not eligible for that 'apparently' despite being a SW school and paying at this rate before. Was also quoted bit defender in the same email at almost double what SWGFL are offering it at.. both partnered with the same supplier quoting me! so definetly a little frustrated. Anyone have any thoughts? I was quite blunt with the supplier that I'd look elsewhere.
  22. That is frustrating, I've been battling this department to move their final iPads onto Jamf but it's been hurdle after hurdle. As they have quite a few of the apps like this that are expensive. Finally get the budget to buy this app in bulk and can't use the voice they use currently with all the pupils. Bahh!
  23. Trying to set up a new batch of iPads for pupils with additional needs to have one they can use at home/in school with clicker communicator app. The app has additional 'voices' that can be downloaded for free. - The iPad has no account signed in. (though I have just tried with a managed ID) - It will be used on a 1 to 1 basis. - Removed all restrictions linked to the iPad but still getting 'not allowed' I'm thinking this might be a bit of a problem, reading up on this and it seems like you need a personal account/ or the app publisher can provide you with a full version of the app. (Already spent £80 per app..) Seems quite the flaw if this is the only way..
  24. Nope, the company that sent the email this thread is regarding
  25. I've dealt with that company a few times in the past, had a chatty account manager that kept calling. Used them a bit as an extra quote, not once did they come close on pricing. I genuinely wondered how they had business the pricing was that bad. Get emails still about their screens which on the surface look pretty good but I'm guessing that's without installation/delivery/warranty etc.
