per user or per device. per user worked out best for us.

Going to set this up tomorrow. I will post back.

I would look at hardware encrypted memory sticks. Something like this Integral Crypto with AES encryption USB flash drive - 4 GBI Some also auto wipe if wrong password is used 5 times.

+Google forms. Also gives nice graphs and charts of the collected info. You could set up a free home account and have a play or go the full hog and setup Google Apps for ED which is also free.

Shame about the Gapps thing as we use it at all my schools. Still does more than 365 imo. If someone reading this is in the EU you might want to read this EU demands answers over Microsoft's Patriot Act admission | ZDNet Not sure what it was called (do a search in edugeek) but someone did mention a very good system that created a locally stored cloud style system from the server it was installed on. If I find it I will post back.

All my schools turned down SLG as it was clunky.

I use team viewer to access al the servers (not the free version) and I have remote desktop gateway for all the staff.

I use Google forms which is free and keeps things simple.

I have one user that is getting a blank page when they open Chrome browser. The blank pages are not just website pages but also the Chrome settings pages and all other pages such as extensions or history. The user can connect to the internet fine using IE. I have tried to un-install / re-install even deleting chrome folder from appdata folder but nothing seems to fix this. Any ideas?

Think you will want two form authentication or you might get bitten if data gets breached.

And it should have had a water purification question as I can do that also.

I did loot but ran when things got nasty. Wish it had a weapon question, I am a dab hand at making a bow and arrow.

Removing the printer each time will slow things down. I just leave them connected and never remove.

Not that I use sync any more but I do remember Win 7 needed to be fully updated and patched for sync to work properly.

It has been a while since I last demoted a server but think something has slightly gone wrong with the one I just ran. Did the normal dcpromo and demoted, rebooted server. In the 'server manager' 'roles' section I still have 'Active Directory Domain Services' and 'DNS Server' listed. I seem to remember the last time I demoted these were removed automatically. If I click on 'Active Directory Domain Services' I get ' This is not a domain controller, run dcpromo If I click on 'DNS Server' I get a ton of errors in the logs but all zones are empty. How do I remove these without causing any issues.

Steambox is probably aimed at me. I did build gaming rigs but then children came along and less time so I went down the console road and got an xbox 360. I was also surprised that the lesser graphics made no real difference to me so long as the game was good and the mouse made no difference as everyone was on a level playing field with a controller. I have not jumped on the next gen band wagon but at some point will be getting either PS4, Xbox One or a Steambox. As things stand they are in that order with Steam my last choice.

I thought the reason most PC gamers shot down console users was (apart from graphics) the fact they could react much faster in first person shooters like Battlefield as they had a mouse and a keyboard. Have steam not shot themselves in the foot with this controller or can you still use a mouse and keyboard?

Love camping in a tent. Had to sell my t4 vw camper last year not happy about that but needed the cash. Might get a cheap caravan soon.

Funny you should say that. Since they have turned a single road into a dual carriageway it actually takes longer to get from one end to the other as everything backs up at the roundabouts which never happened before.

So our cars get much better at stopping over the years and now this. Hmmm me thinks someone wants to make some more money out of speeding tickets.

@difinity They have already arrived. Like the Dr Who stamp, nice. Will have a look at the software you mentioned and see what else I can do with them. Thanks very much.

Just noticed the Dead horse smiley and it did make me chuckle. Now just need to find a post I can use it on.

Wicked, thanks very much.

pm sent. Would be great to have a play with NFC tags, not something I have used before. They should ship some with a new phone so the system is more widely used. Thanks
