Glad it's not only me that has left a borderline voicemail!

lots of swearing words about CPOMS !!!! Anyone got a recommendation for an alternative?

Steve - my understanding is that if you still have the old, free version of examwritepad you can continue to use it - it's just unsupported. I've not been able to identify anything that the old version doesn't do, that the new version does - happy to be shown wrong - and would like to be if there is an issue that I've missed before live exams...

I feel your pain on these - we have been getting our installer to replace with something akin to these - ACP350 - Triple Pole Emergency Call Point with Dual Light and Buzzer, NO/NC, Green They flash red when "broken" - costs around £20.00 per unit and only takes 10 minutes tops in most cases to swap over.

Morning Where did you hear that Nova-T is going to be non-supported? Our data manager hadn't heard so would appreciate info... Thanks

I had the same thing - in the end we created a alias in our office365 tenancy for cpoms.username@domain that directs to the users main inbox, then created a new cpoms account for the cpoms.username@domain account - this enabled the DSL to get access without waiting for cpoms support. It's a dirty way of doing it, and not acceptable really in this day and age - but at least they got access again.

I concur, i'd go as far as prefer a chisel and tablet (stone type!).

Does anyone have any contact, other than sales or support at CPOMS higher up the food chain? Our EHT want to send them an email to discuss this and the previous shenanigans when they updated last year.

I don't envy the CPOMS staff who get to attend BETT this year - CPOMS Systems Limited - Bett UK at ExCeL London | The world’s leading education technology show Think there may be some "conversations" to be had.

Looks like it broke the powershell in the input... Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned -Scope Process # Get the device name $deviceName = (Get-ComputerInfo -Property CsName).CsName # Define the path to the log file with the device name $logFile = "C:\Intel\LogFile_$deviceName.txt" # Infinite loop to keep writing to the file while ($true) { # Get the current date and time $timestamp = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" # Get the battery status $batteryStatus = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\CIMV2 -Class Win32_Battery if ($batteryStatus) { $batteryLifePercent = $batteryStatus.EstimatedChargeRemaining $batteryMessage = "$batteryLifePercent% battery life remaining" } else { $batteryMessage = "Battery information unavailable (possibly on a desktop or no battery installed)" } # Construct the log message $message = "Still working - $timestamp - $batteryMessage" # Append the message to the log file Add-Content -Path $logFile -Value $message # Wait for 5 minutes (300 seconds) Start-Sleep -Seconds 300 }

Afternoon Not via Senso - but.. i've been having to test battery depletion stats for some devices that we are looking to replace. What I've been doing is running this powershell script - which every 5 minutes writes the battery percentage to a text file. I then run VLC with a load of videos on a loop and keep the device running it shutsdown (obviously don't plug the device into the mains)... Maybe you can strip out of the powershell the important part and run it via senso? This is the powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned -Scope Process# Get the device name$deviceName = (Get-ComputerInfo -Property CsName).CsName# Define the path to the log file with the device name$logFile = "C:\batterystat\LogFile_$deviceName.txt"# Infinite loop to keep writing to the filewhile ($true) { # Get the current date and time $timestamp = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" # Get the battery status $batteryStatus = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\CIMV2 -Class Win32_Battery if ($batteryStatus) { $batteryLifePercent = $batteryStatus.EstimatedChargeRemaining $batteryMessage = "$batteryLifePercent% battery life remaining" } else { $batteryMessage = "Battery information unavailable (possibly on a desktop or no battery installed)" } # Construct the log message $message = "Still working - $timestamp - $batteryMessage" # Append the message to the log file Add-Content -Path $logFile -Value $message # Wait for 5 minutes (300 seconds) Start-Sleep -Seconds 300}

Morning all Hope this is an appropriate message/question to ask... I was wondering if i could hear back from any schools/sites that have their primary internet feed via MGfL and Medway ICT. We've only been with them since September, having had many "happy" years with Cantium providing the connection - but since moving over, we've had a 30 minutes outage (or thereabouts) every week. I know of a number of schools that are getting the same issue - so know its not an "us" thing - but was wondering if you have the same provider and issue you could get in touch so we can try a united position to get the issues resolved. If you could either contact me via this forum or message me directly it would be appreciated. Or - if you have your connection via Medway/MGfL and aren't having any issues, i'd be interested to hear as well so we can try and find out what is different about your school setup. Thanks Jon

Trouble is, they are only 2 years old - well 2 years from September - as purchased Sept 2022

Has anyone seen a system that can "sit" on the Inventry hardware (so Windows touchscreen)? Prior to my arrival, three systems were purchased outright - so difficult to move without quite a capital write-off. If we can re-purpose the equipment, it would make it easier to swap. But most systems i've seen use ipads/tablets.

Glad i've heard this from someone else... Thought I was going mad the first time I drove an Astra... R Reg it was. Nobody believed me!
