I would like to see a subscribe button from the 3 dot menu on the top when reading a thread. I see it does have it on the post preview but would be handy to have the option inside the thread.

I like it. Its slicker and seems more responsive. Tapatalk uses the same interface so it fits in with that.

We have 2 tenants currently operating. 1 is used at one of our all through schools and they only use exchange and a little share point. The other tenant is setup for our other secondary but is only used by the IT team for Skype for Business currently. Long term this will change to migrate on premise exchange to O365 and for allowing students and staff to have Office. We toyed with the idea of share point and the other features but found Google Apps to be better suited to what the teachers wanted. So we will run both side by side

Looking forward to it

Microsoft to move out of the education market?
dblight replied to Dave_O's topic in Licensing Questions
It's ok MS and others ramming cloud down everyone's throat but we have 4 separate primary schools in the sticks. The ADSL connection is slow and unreliable at best. -
I've seen exactly the same. And replicated the problem. In my case the Virgin super hub had the firewall set to medium or moderate if I remember correctly. Turned it off and it worked a treat. Worth a try

We have lots of digital signage screens around the college and we are just configuring OneLan to play an audio file at specific times to act as a digital bell

Been in two Frog schools now, old school have binned it completely and my current school are moving away from it more and more. Again the "champions" have moved on now so the push to use it has long gone. Hopefully I can go in and rip it out in the not so distant future!

We have a shared exchange calendar. Leave requests goto Line Manager who provisionally accepts/declines think he runs it past Business Manager and then it's entered into the calendar. Once is in there it's sorted. Normally I can request leave in the morning and it's in the calendar a couple hours later

Yeah that did make me laugh...............

Maybe im being a bit cynical but doesn't that just go into a big pile or rubbish never to be looked at???? To me that was just put in to make you feel like you had an input.............

So this forum is awash with issues we are facing with Windows 10 deployments..... How do we tell MS? We are just a few techs with no clout in the MS world. I has an email from MS insiders last night encouraging the use of the #windows10 hash tag. So I explored this..... Doubt it will get anywhere but the question remains how do we make MS aware??

Doing a non-authoritative restore will not replicate the restored backup to other DC's you would effectively restore and then it would be over written by another DC, assuming of course you must have more than 1 DC? I was also sure you couldn't delete the Administrator account too!
-
Are you sure there is not another user in the Domain Admins group at all you could use? When the server is made a Domain Controller the local users are not available. Do you have a valid system state backup that you could do an authoritative ad restore from?
-
Similar issue here. We have a local user setup on all our staff laptops and once domaines the start menu on that user is dead. So many issues with Windows 0 start menus I'm shelving our deployment until next year. Shocking!

I bought a surge for me and a charge hr for the other half in May this year and they are both ruined. The strap where the screws are on the back of my surge has split and the tiny lcd on hers has cracked and then come away. Shocking build quality. Not impressed.

For some bizarre reason the Enterprise version does get rid off all the apps using the Powershell commands above. No idea why the Education version doesn't. However i'm now stuck as i need to keep the Photos, Calculator and Camera apps, but cannot seem to identify them not to be removed in the suggested powershell commands. Any ideas?
-
Yeah I did. Created a checkpoint before also so could revert. Binned it now and building an Enterprise image. So how that gets on.
-
Must be an issue with the November update of the Education flavour. Just ran through your suggestion and loads of rubbish still left in (xbox,twitter,candy crush etc etc) and it errors on Sysprep everytime. Gonna have to be Enterprise I think to get this out.
-
Thanks for the heads up, pretty much there now.... But I shall run a fresh build in the morning and give your suggestion a crack!
-
So having wasted the whole day trying to remove CANDY CRUSH (and its mates that shouldn't even be on an Education specific OS) its come to the point where Education is being binned in favour of Enterprise LTSB. No matter how I configured Applocker all it managed to do was screw the Start Menu to the point it wont even load. If they deemed Candy Crush apps suitable this time god knows what they will reliase in the next update. LTSB seems the only way we can control 100% what the users get and we wont be forced to do updates! And breathe...... Rant over.....

Going to give this a go tomorrow http://ccmexec.com/2015/08/blocking-built-in-apps-in-windows-10-using-applocker/
