If you have the full Adobe Acrobat you can combine multiple PDFs into one.

Gemini Notebook would be my first test for this if you have a Google installation in place. As mentioned, test with dummy data before you get the legal requirements in place.

Does anything at all relating to those APs show up in the 'Diagnostics/Events' or 'Diagnostics/All Alarms'? Anything on the switches about the ports changing?

Channels overlapping/interferring would be a good thing to check. Depending on your layout it can turn into a 3D puzzle quickly. The systems that automatically set these for you don't always pick the best setups. I used to use a wifi channel scanner app (inssider) and walk to different locations to see what was available.

It's working for me. Nothing more than following their instructions and passing those onto LGfL to set up their end.

Whilst it's nice to have access to every sound in Logic, etc. you don't have to download it all. Periodically wipe every sound pack and let them download as needed? Perhaps automate that monthly, if possible?

Would it work off a share? Got enough free storage for 20 different shares?

I think you can move where the files are in Logic. If I recall they have to be downloaded to the local machine then moved using one of it's features.

ParentPay seem to be trying their best to encourage me to move MIS and all their other products at the next opportune moment. Whoever's idea it was to treat schools in the way they do will probably not take responsibility when all their business disappears in the next few years.

Apple have been age checking Apple accounts recently. Could it be related to that?

We have 4K IWBs connected to 1080p screen PCs. They also switch scaling in the same manner. I believe it's certain properties of the 'better' screen that automatically dictates what scaling is set.

'Never' for us. SSDs will take care of themselves from a power point of view.

After adding secureboot.admx, enabling the top two settings, and applying it to PCs, once the \Microsoft\Windows\PI\Secure-Boot-Update scheduled task runs (midday?) and the PCs are restarted it'll go from NotStarted to InProgress to Updated with each reboot/scheduled task run. This is with compatible PCs.

This model is probably one of the most repairable Apple products in a long time. Spares available as well. There's probably a few YouTube videos on the subject.

Can your intranet be configured to play that role (if you have one)?

AI can get you some of the way if you're coding things like this.

It looks like I missed the news about this, but has Genee gone out of business? It's been a while since we required a warranty repair and my usual contacts no longer work. Looking into it looks like they've closed down. Anyone out there with Genee screen that can get a warranty repair somehow?

You could use a QR code to offload information that would end up too small to fit.

How's the wi-fi in that/those locations? Maybe adjust/replace that to allow more/faster connections?

Log the laptops in with the exam domain accounts well ahead of time, then unlock them when the exam starts rather than a full login? Don't put the PDF into the shared folder until 1 hour before the exam starts.

Monitor off and PC sleep are different settings. 'Edit Power Plan' control panel (via Start/Run) is a good place to set this, and enforce centrally. BIOS settings might be somewhere to look to configure sleep modes correctly. The login screen is a different setting to change. That goes off after 60 seconds?

Can you block everything and create an allow list instead?

Retention is a huge headache. We're considering rethinking how we handle it and move data routinely into an archive drive which deliberately stores data to specified lengths depending on the type of data. When there's any onboarding/offboarding or change of academic year/financial year, things get moved to the appropriate location. Only then could we delete things reliably when required. A record of what and when can be kept of what was destroyed. It'll be a live store that is always accessible by those who should have access. It'll be backed up, but the backups don't need to be kept forever as the store will exist.

Things being in backups is tricky as you can't easily remove the stuff you should remove whilst keeping they stuff you have to keep. I don't think destruction is required if it's impractical, but retention is. One might override the other.
