We're using PowerBI and it's awesome. It's very easy to hook to different datasources and you can create some very nice looking and drillable dashboards with it. There are lots of resources out there teaching you how to use it. Personally I realy like the videos by guy in a cube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFp1vaKzpfvoGai0vE5VJ0w

I'd be surprised if your html folder is of any real size so you probably won't gain a huge ammount of space. However, if have your moodle set up with vhosts then edit /etc/apaches2/site-avaiable/sitename.conf Find the line 'DocumentRoot' and point this to the new folder location If you don't have a vhost (And you really should) then you shuld edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-defualt.conf and change the DocumentRoot there.

Hi You probably don't need to do any linking (I take it you mean symlinks). In the config.php just change the filepath to the moodle data folder to the new location. For the moodle folder itself change the apache config for the site to also point at the new file location and restart apache.

I've used this in the past. Easy Hosting Control Panel | for Ubuntu and alikes...- Free Fast Opensource web hosting control panel for your server ** it's pretty simple to set up webspace and ftp for the students to upload stuff.

One of the things we did was to connect remotely to a machine with the modules on via PSsession. So for example connect to a hyperv scvm server and load the management modules from there. This stops you having to install them locally. Although the downside is that are then slower to run: # #make the credentionals $this.passwordSecure = $this.password|ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force $cred2 = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($this.username, $this.passwordSecure) # # connect to the remove scvm server $this.session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $this.hypervHost -Credential $cred2 ## Load the scvm modules from the remote server Invoke-Command -Session $this.session {Import-Module -Name VirtualMachineManager} Import-PSSession -Session $this.session -Module VirtualMachineManager

oh my god I've found a new happy place - thanks fro sharing

We are using SSRS combined with SSIS to create a datawarehouse. This is very complex to set up but done correctly you end up with nice neat de-normalised tables to report from. It also becomes reltivly easy to manage once the learning curve starts to flatten. I've also found the Apex SQL search plugin super useful when reverse engineering tables.

How about workplace join as a 4th option. This will give a level of control and let you map printers etc. You could then do sims as a terminal server or remote app as mentioned above.

So I have to ask. Skype for business replaced Lync. Why would you want to start with Lync and not the latest and greatest?

we use urbackup pretty sucessfully https://www.urbackup.org/

if you have the database credentials you could install phpmyadmin and use that to backup the DB whilst they might not have a control panel they must have s/ftp access to allow you to connection and put the files up there.

git is a version control system. It's used by programmers to work with code in teams and is pretty much an idustry standard. it's not an ide - but is often used with an IDE such visual studio. It a really good thing for students to get exposure to - we're just rolling it out here fro our students. It sounds like your HoC has some good plans for her students.

you can use bgcolor : January but you imho you really should use CSS. Things often start small and then grow.

Hello There have been debates here over the total cost of ownership for Macs Vs PCs. Googling around I could find some information about this from and enterprise perspective but I could find much for education. Does anyone have this that they could share? One argument that has been mooted is that Macs are better built and so break less - ie the hinges break less from continual opening and closing etc etc. I'm not sure I buy this at all. Dan
