  1. If they don't get the difference between home an school tech, explain it. at length. What I'd do is book a meeting with the SLT, have a nice little PPoint with the difference in quality, impact, etc - and then drop a big number to show how much improving everything to support double your current storage to cost. They'll then either balk and never mention it again - or give you the cash, in which case "woo! new infrastructure!" And if you need numbers, maybe add a poll to this thread to see how much most schools give people ;-)
  2. You might wanna try setting the user GPP parts to 'update' rather than 'replace'
  3. The method I mentioned does work, I use it here. You've got a configuration problem - maybe you could post the settings you've listed here - as well as running a gpresult on the client?
  4. Must. Find. Face. Paints. Must. Find. Face. Paints. Must. Find. Face. Paints. Must. Find. Face. Paints. Must. Find. Face. Paints.
  5. You'd get better speeds having 40 runners taking peoples web requests and running them to a computer, then printing the pages out and returning them :-p
  6. it BETTer be gone by monday! (see what i did there? ;-) ) ...seriously, I'm back monday
  7. Personally, for a system like sims, I'd use the bootable vmware converter rather than the online one. Just power off the system, boot from it and run through as above. It does require you to be using a vcenter though. The way David outlined is still fine, but it'd just make sure that the system was exactly as before. I'd also once booted remove any hardwrae from the old server that still had a presence on the vm; see 'clean-up after power on' here Welcome to vSphere-land! » Converter Tips
  8. Get a blummin science class in there to figure it out! Cross curricular examples time!
  9. That's a quality display! Don't those all in one jobbies use a hp projector? might be worth taking it down and giving it a clean out, or chuck it out to a repair shop. I'd say the digitizer is boned, lamp looks okay.
  10. @ric @Soulfish and I are all down this way @irsprint84 Just shout if you need a beer break
  11. Yeah, the default printer is a user preference - so you'll want to use loopback processing to apply it per computer.
  12. I've stopped planning more than a month in advance - cause, no matter what, my plans get changed too quickly
  13. Are you adding it to a computer or users OU? Have you enabled loopback processing? There was a great article about this, but seems to have vanished - there's an archive here, but has no images: Set Default Printer with Windows 2008 Server Group Policy Preferences - Set the Default Printer via Group Policy | Windows Server Administration
  14. Sure can - the example here is applied to "all users", but any group can have it applied: Exchange Geek's Weblog » Standardizing Company Signatures with Exchange Server 2010 Transport Rules also, there is a gui management section too, it's not all powershell (though powershell is teh rox0rz)
  15. this one comes with stickers.. 2012 Wall Year Planner with Marker Pen and Stickers: Amazon.co.uk: Office Products STICKERS! ..or if thats too rich: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Large-Laminated-Planner-Calendar-Accessories/dp/B0055P07OY/ref=pd_sim_office_1
  16. Are you using exchange 2010? if so you can add transport rules to do this, it's very clever. If it's an older version you can't, but we used to use a piece of software called exclaimer to do it. If your mails out of house then maybe opus disclaimer:OpusFlow Disclaimer for Outlook or this: Email signature software for Outlook although, as for pricing I have no idea...
  17. Get something more powerful and buy yourself £169 worth of Disposable Biros
  18. Awwwwww. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aWtwvd9dU9k/R9a1e6haKJI/AAAAAAAAAEI/ZHvvPjHzKt0/s320/is%2Bmah%2Bbirfday-1.JPG
  19. I suggest: http://lh5.ggpht.com/__zoKJ77EvEc/S12-voCBBUI/AAAAAAAACb8/BQoAENUJMEA/broken-laptop%20(4).png
  20. I assume you're looking at a contract? If so you're probably just as well looking at the high-end androids, SGS2, Nexus, etc User experience is much nicer on a more powerful handset, and it's likely to last longer...
  21. to exclude those of us not working in education? :-(
  22. Doubletwist here too. Nice looking, free (unless you want extra bits, some of which are very good) and easy to use. WIN!
  23. buh-what? who the hell do you bank with? Got a loan for my new van from my bank, 4% over 3 years....
