On our Dell OptiPlex 3030 AIO, OptiPlex 3080 and OptiPlex 3040 when we plug in a 3.5mm microphone the Dell software audio pop-up does not happen. There is no programme for it in the task bar either. On about 3 PCs the pop-up is working and it lets us choose whether we have plugged in headphones, speakers or a microphone.

Many thanks for your suggestions. >>Client PC spec? Dell Optiplex ranging from 745,755,380,760,780,7010 and 3040 Some have 2GB of RAM, most have 4GB,6GB or 8GB. All have SSDs >>Profile type? Roaming I think with everything redirected except for %APPDATA% >>Any logon scripts or installers? Is there a way to find a list of each? >>Wired or wireless? Wired >>new ou and users then try with no gpos then slowly add them back in? Will give this a go >>Have you got a basic windows 10 desktop with no customisations or third party management tools installed? Just Windows 10 Education with Sophos from LGFL. -
Is there a list of steps to diagnose slow logins on Windows 10? We're running Windows Server 2016 version 1607. Most of our PCs are on Windows 10 2004 or 1909. Some are still on 1903. When children log in it can take 7+ minutes to log in. ON the screen the last message either Preparing Windows or the name of the last GPO to be applied.

Looking at alternative ISPs

TRUSTnet a not-for-profit educational charity owned London Grid for Learning Trust. I've been using their services for over twelve years. -
AD Sync will move all their files to a "deleted users" folder. Go to that folder and you will find loads of folders all named as the date they were removed. Inside you find folders for users who left on that date which will contain all their files.

We fixed this by setting up Google Apps For Education and linking it to our USOs. We then altered the config in GAFE for YouTube so that only staff have complete access to the whole of YouTube. Staff now have to sign into Google to access these kind of videos though.

Our server is Windows 2008 R2. All our current PCs are Windows 7 Pro. Our new tablets and perhaps new desktops will be Windows 10 Pro. Will they work on our network just like our Windows 7 PCs when I join them to the domain? Will everything be the same such as desktops and folder redirection? Will I need to import the Windows 10 ADMX files? Which policies will need setting if any?

We're looking for a portable projector that will mainly be used by SLT in the HT's office for a weekly meeting. It may occasionally be used in our staff room as well. Any suggestions?

Can you suggest a camera from a well known brand that can be used by teachers in their classroom that has Wi-FI so that photos can be directly uploaded to a specific folder. Or if much cheaper where can we buy new cameras that cost around 30-40 pounds?

Some of our PCs keep loosing their connection to the server after a few minutes. The desktop goes blank and you cant even do Start cmd as cmd is not found! This has been happening for a few months now. We have 3 network cards on our Dell T101 server. The two Broadcom ones which have recently been teamed. The server has recently been moved to a building a 1000bit network with a fibre link to our old building. Nothing is using the Intel network card. Power Management is enabled. The Duplex setting is set to Disabled. Is this normal. Do network card settings have to be changed on the server you do you just leave them as all the defaults? On all client PCs(Windows 7 64 bit) Should any settings on those be changed such as Duplex or Ethernet Energy Efficiency? In there an easy way to restore all the card's setting by say removing the driver and reinstalling? Is it worth updating BIOSs and Network Card drivers on all the PCs.

There are not getting an IP address when I log in locally when on the LAN. They ARE getting an IP address when I log in locally when on Wi-FI but NOT when I login with a domain based user. I need to check all that though as it's all been a bit weird! I was wondering if I should switch off all the network switches and reboot the server?

We new have 3 Dell Optiplex 3030s All in ones with Windows 7. Our server is Windows 2008 R2. All 3 PCs have joined the domain. I set up all the PCs on the LAN. I then moved them to our new school office. I had to put all 3 PCs on Wi-FI as the wall ports were in an unreachable place. Two of the PCs worked fine but one said, "there are currently no logon servers available to process your logon request". Today the builders moved the wall ports to nearer the PCs. So now all there are on the network. Now the 2 ex Wi-FI pcs now say "there are currently no logon servers available to process your logon request" while the 1 pc that was not working now is! For now I've put the 2 ex Wi-FI PC back on to Wi-FI and they are still working. We really need all 3 on the LAN. Any ideas?
