Worth also checking the endurance rating of the drives. Enterprise ones it shouldn't be a problem, but some of the cheaper ones have relatively low endurance ratings, depends what you will be doing with the server.

Go into Azure active directory, groups, deleted groups and restore from there. You can't do it from the teams admin site.

I've got a g6 as a work phone, our deputy has a g5 (I think!) my dad and daughter both have a G6, and she just got a G9 plus for Christmas. All have been very reliable and always good value for money.

In Teams app, on general channel (or other channel if you want direct to that channel) click 3 dots in top right and click get link to channel?

Can they download the teams app and use that? Have they got any security software (or spyware / malware) installed on the browsers that intercepts traffic?

I have target release version group policy set to 1909. Am I right in thinking that even if I approve a higher version in WSUS, it still should not install on a pc that has this setting set? I've checked the group policy is applying and looked in the registry - it has the correct keys set, but is now installing the 20h2 release. I want to be able to approve the latest updates, but need to hold some computers back - laptops for example I don't them all doing feature updates over the wireless during a lesson!

All gone already!

We operate a similar policy, no staff are allowed to access work email on a personal device, we decided the risks were too high. Whilst there are technical ways to ensure doing this is secure and data compliant, since we already issue every member of staff with an ipad it was a simple decision for us.

Christmas is ruined!! He can have a lesson in patience instead :-)

What are the chances of getting a Ryzen 5 5600x this side of Christmas? My son has put bits for a new computer on his xmas list and likely to build a system based around this cpu.

The greencell ones I've been getting are around £35inc Vat, I just want to be able to buy 20 in one go!

Dell want silly money for genuine ones, anyone know where I can get decent replacement batteries for a 3340 laptop? I've been buying the greencell ones and they have been great, but can only get them in limited quantities off Amazon, which isn't ideal and annoys the Bursar! I need about 20 of them. Have tried my usual suppliers with no luck.

If your very small number is larger than 1, then it's worth going for an MDM solution. Once set up life is just so simple. App deployments, profiles for security / configuration all pushed over the air with no fuss. I happily manage 200 ipads in less time than it takes me to look after a set of 16 laptops (windows). It's also unlikely that a small ipad deployment will stay a small ipad deployment, they have a tendency to multiply!

Lets not turn this into console vs pc thread, both have advantages and disadvantages. They have certainly considered both, already have a console but are keen to get into pc gaming.

They already have a console, but have seen sense and want to get into pc gaming :-)

Are the buy a licence and download it websites generally ok then?

Hadn't noticed that! What is the cheapest you can (legally!) get windows 10 for now?

Thanks everyone, some useful advice and ones to look at. I think the one that synaesthesia has linked to above looks to be the best value, just going to add a 1tb standard hard disk for storage and then it's only £15 over budget.

You should ideally complete a DPIA as this will be a new system. Your ROPA should be updated, which will include the lawful basis you have for using this system / processing this data. The outcome of this will likely be that you do not need to get consent, certainly it's important that you don't get consent when you don't need it, as this can be withdrawn, and you shouldn't then change the lawful basis for processing the data to something else.

It does seem like getting closer to £600 gets a considerably better system, £500 seems to make quite a few compromises. Specced this up on pcspecialist for £570, think it is fairly balanced system, any cpu upgrade jumps the cost up a fair bit.

Been asked to recommended a gaming pc with a budget of £500. They have sent a link to a few they are looking at on Amazon, but all unknown brands and most are making use of the Radeon onboard graphics. I know this has come on a long way in recent years, but can't see it being great for any current gen games, although happy to be told I'm wrong! Obviously never going to run current gen games at full res on any £500 pc, but should be able to get something ok ish? I can sort them out a monitor, which means budget only has to pay for the pc. Must be a pre-built system - it's not someone who I could support with building / ongoing support.

In your meeting policy, under participants and guests, automatically admit people, is it set to everyone in your organisation? I think this should mean that guests are placed in a lobby and you have to admit them, which if you aren't expecting them (in a lesson for example) you can just ignore them.

We put unifi in over the summer, went with SHD access points but we have some areas which are quite dense deployments and heavy use. AC pro's would be fine for most circumstances. We have the controller running on a VM, if you have spare capacity to virtualise it then it's free, if not the cloud key seems to work well.

We brought from 4gon over the summer. They did have to order them in, but was only a couple of weeks lead time. Were the cheapest of 3 quotes we got.
