Thanks! I've just signed myself up for a demo. Would love to hear any other recommendations if anyone has any.

Hi everyone, We’re looking for a simple, affordable way to wirelessly cast from Chromebooks to projectors or interactive touchscreens. Currently, classrooms use HDMI cables, but the teachers want the freedom to move around the room whilst still presenting. Chromecast would have been ideal but these have now been discontinued. Appreciate any recommendations!

Okay I'm sure we could replace the back door locks ourselves. Do you have the missing shelves to make it up to a 30 bay? When could we come and collect?

Fantastic, thank you! Are you able to send a few pictures of the trolley please? Presumably all in good working order and is it lockable with keys?

Anybody looking to get rid of a laptop trolley in the Hampshire area? Happy to collect.

Hello All, I am looking for a laptop charging trolley and was wondering if there was anybody in the Hampshire area looking to get shot of one? Ideally looking for 20-30 bays and needs to be lockable. Many thanks!

Thanks sted, that sounds like a good place to start!!

Our student computers are locked down to such an extent they are unable to install drivers via plug and play. This becomes very annoying when they decide to unplug any usb devices such as keyboards and mice which then fail to work when plugged back in. We have to login using the domain admin account in order for it to install the required drivers through windows update. They've now become wise to this and are using it as an excuse for not getting on with their work! Can anybody tell me how to resolve this please?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I was just wondering if you ever managed to get to the bottom of this? We are also experiencing issues with Sibelius 8 crashing at random intervals.

Hi Jon, I know this is a fairly old thread now but I was just wondering if you had any of the cables left over from these AVB378 whiteboards? I have the whiteboard but no cables to make it interactive!

I have an ActivBoard 378 IWB but no cables! Does anybody have any spares or know where I can purchase some from?

Thanks andy_b and Bedders, very much appreciated. I now need to work out the number of consecutive drops from week to week. For example, my consecutive fails column at the end needs to display "none" if there have been no changes, "1" if there has been one drop and "2 or more" if there have been two or more consecutive drops. I really hope that is clear. Thanks again!

I have a spreadsheet with a number of columns each representing a new week. I would like to find the percentage change between the two most recent weeks without having to change the formula each time. I am able to find the percentage change fairly easily, using the method in the link below, but I do not know how to select the two most recent weeks only https://exceljet.net/formula/get-percent-change

Can anybody tell me if it is possible to disable the print preview window in Google Chrome via Group Policy and force the system print dialogue instead? I have the ADM templates installed on the DC but cannot find the DisablePrintPreview policy. Thanks in advance.

Last summer we purchased a number of Lenovo B50-50 laptops. Two laptops have since developed faults and were returned to Lenovo for repair. The motherboards were replaced during the repair but the new motherboard does not have a valid model number. This is a real problem for us as our deployment method (SCCM + WMI Query) relies on having the model number to deploy the correct drivers, software, etc I have contacted Lenovo support but they are not being very helpful. Has anybody ever come across this? Is there a way of entering a model number back into the BIOS perhaps?

Thanks for the replies so far. I don't see the "conditions" tab in my scheduled task, but in any case it sounds like it may need to be configured by script then triggered by a scheduled task. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askpfeplat/2015/04/26/the-startup-script-is-dead/

I have a GPO in place which shuts down all computers and laptops at 23:00 each night. This works pretty well, however if a member of staff happens to be working from home in the evening it will still shutdown. Is there any way of preventing the scheduled task from kicking in if not connected to the school network?

I'm having the exact same issue with these pesky Toshiba laptops. I'd be very interested to hear if you ever found an answer?

Thanks 3s-gtech! I will give this a go.

We are looking into the possibility of using MuseScore in our Music department having previously used Sibelius. The HoD has asked me to install a plugin to allow him to convert files created in Sibelius into a format readable by MuseScore - 'MusicXML' I believe? Can somebody point me in the right direction please?

I didn't think Configurator allowed you to unsupervise a device without it being plugged in? I've emailed Apple VPP to see if they can send out some more redemption codes to replace the one's we lost.

I've been using Apple Configurator for a long while now and I'm fairly confident using it. We have 30 iPads and have a small number of paid apps which we purchased through the Volume Purchasing Program. All was working well until one iPad went walk about - never to be seen again. I have since replaced the missing iPad with a spare we had on site, but the redemption codes are still assigned to the old one. How can I assign the codes to the new device?

Thanks AButters, all is now working.

Thanks vikpaw I'll give that a try!

I get what you're saying, and I do plan to install SOLUS3 in the long term, but I don't want to start messing around with our SIMS server so close to exam results day. All I'm looking to do right now is apply the Summer upgrade (via SOLUS2) then run the client upgrade without having to log on to each machine as an administrator.
