We normally get given Biscuits, or occasionally something to drink!

Noticed a couple of bugs on Google Chrome, the flag for the language appears outside of its border and when viewing in English, if you select English from the languages drop down it changes to a different language. Personally I think the homepage could do with some more content, the school status should be easy to find, preferably without having to hunt around for it. Overall the style is simple which I like, no need to make it overly fancy. One other thing, it takes quite a long time to load, which might be something you want to look at.

They do Wireless CCTV? As far as I'm aware the whole range of Unifi-Video is PoE and without Wireless capability.

I really dislike the McLaren, it just looks like they had no idea what they wanted to do with the livery, so did a bit of everything. Looks a mess in my view. The Sauber livery, while it's nice to see some colour its boring! Just 2 blocks of solid colour and the remnants of previews years with the white endplates.

I can't get this to work at work or at home

They have those awesome snowplough gifs though and the lightning bolt one at the very bottom. Its such a brilliantly old school website, love it!

The A537, there is an inn on it called The Cat & Fiddle Inn, right on the top. So its known locally as 'The Cat', the road is currently closed due to the 24cm of snow on the ground and general blizzard like conditions, here's their webcam and a weather site for Buxton in general with a few other webcams. The Cat & Fiddle Webcam A537 Buxton to Macclesfield ÂBuxton Weather – Live Weather in Buxton Derbyshire, UK I'll admit if the 2 members of SLT who came over were borrower sized and travelled to work on cats, things would be alot more fun around here.

We've had people travel from Buxton into work today over the Cat! Mental people! Also we are open today, though we were closed yesterday, had more snow last night, none of our buses are running so only a fraction of the kids are in.

My experience with power over Ethernet is that they are great 95% of the time and the other 5% they just randomly disconnect because of certain devices being switched on. If its just browsing I would recommend wireless with unifi kit as it will offer you greater flexibility.

You can use the company attribute on any object in active directory for a filter. We have used similar attributes to determine which address list people show up in. There are a couple of ways to do it, the recipient filter that you posted is one way: New-GlobalAddressList -name "New GAL" -RecipientFilter { (Company -eq 'School1') } New-GlobalAddressList -name "New GAL2" -RecipientFilter { (Company -eq 'School1') -and (Department -eq 'Staff') } You don't necessarily need to filter the RecipientType as in your example, though it depends what you actually want to show in the GAL. And as Edu-IT suggested, there are pre determined conditional filters you can use rather than using the full blown RecipientFilter. There are also other attributes you can use, CustomAttributes can be extremely useful in this circumstance if you want to take a more granular approach. Also, slightly unrelated however if you want to filter RecipientTypes and use Office 365 Groups, you need to include this somewhere in your filter: (RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'GroupMailbox') Edit: A further option you were looking for was email address domain, depending on how your emails/accounts are configured you could filter by upn: New-GlobalAddressList -name "New GAL" -RecipientFilter { (UserPrincipleName -eq 'schooldomain.co.uk') } Alternatively you should be able to use proxyAddresses like this, however this isn't something I have tested: New-GlobalAddressList -name "New GAL" -RecipientFilter { (proxyAddresses -like '*@schooldomain.co.uk') } My advice would be to make a new addresslist with a recipient filter and play around with it rather than making a GAL initially. Sorry this post has become so rambling! Here is a list of attributes you can filter by: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738157%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

Not really an issue as far as I'm concerned, at 8" and below the traditional interface becomes almost unusable, so you aren't losing anything really.

Apple likes to try and be a trend setter with Wireless Standards, constantly making changes to suit their own needs, very irritating.

I thought that was a company name, sounds good to me.

I don't believe they have announced anything regarding that yet, I would expected it will but it will be similar to the other builds where it performs a windows upgrade as if it were a different OS, so it does a complete reinstall. Have no idea if it will retain user settings/configuration though.

The direct links to the ISOs are still working, so you can use the links in the sticky - http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-10/143137-windows-10-technical-preview-compiled-links.html

I have a server and client set up as virtual clients, I haven't started playing around with the configuration yet as the builds we are using at too early in the development cycle in my view. They are still adding features so the configuration and Group Policy settings are still subject to change, it's something I might look at over the summer however when the OS is more likely to be feature complete.

There are a couple of reports you can do to help you get an idea, but there is to my knowledge no definitive report. Assuming you have reporting configured on SCCM and your SQL server then you could look at the following reports: Clients that have not reported recently (in a specified number of days) Computers not inventoried recently (in a specified number of days) You could also detect the last time a computer account logged into the domain, which would give you perhaps a better idea. For that you will need to modify your active directory discovery method to get an additional attribute, which is called 'lastLogon'. Having done that you will need to create your own report that uses SQL to lookup this value (and some others for identification) and convert the timestamp to a readable date format. The idea being that the computer account should login to the domain everytime the computer starts at the very least, so if computers aren't being used the date will reflect that. You could then modify this to compare the current date with the stored date to show you how many days have passed since the last login for even easier reporting. You will of course encounter issues if sccm wakes the computers to do installs as that will trigger the login and will not reflect true usage, for that you would need to do something that checks when the last user logged into the machine, which is probably possible but I haven't attempted to do that through sccm.

But you need another device to use them with right? HoloLens is completely standalone.

It's a whole computer, so I would expect a reasonably high price tag, but who knows maybe Microsoft will price it low to drive sales and develop the market initially.

Well, yes they started working on it years ago, but Microsoft has whole departments set up to just come up with random product ideas. Nadella decided to run with this one, it may never have been pushed into production without him, though that's speculation. That was me too! I'm really excited about it actually, substantially more interesting to the kids than a tablet and arguably more useful than just looking at a smaller screen. Plus it doesn't throw you out of the room like with Oculas so you can actually have people interact with each other in the usual way as well.

They are doing a lot of work on the technical and management side, Azure AD Connect is an example of this, plus just general refinement to apps. The Notification Pane is probably going to be the next real feature you will see on the first release.

We shall see, it definitely has uses, NASA announce in the event that they are going to be using it in conjunction with the Mars rovers by July this year, as they can virtually put people on Mars with it, very clever stuff.

I'm with Sky at home, the problem is that they are just a reseller for BT OpenReach. So Sky's customer service is as good as it can be given that all they can do is open a ticket on my behalf with BT OpenReach.

A whole class interacting with 3d scenes as part of the learning process? Surely this is an easy one for education and better than most other products on the market?

Weird, smooth as silk here!
