Hi ya, On Windows 10 here and moved this Machine to an OU that has software assigned. A GP Result shows that the group policies will apply to the computer. But despite several reboots the policies do not go on. The software does not install. Am I missing something obvious? Other computers in the OU seem to have the software. Would it be because the wifi connection doesn't kick in till the computer is on the logon screen?

Thank you very much. Yes that was the issue. Much appreciated

My config file sits in a share on the server. \\servername\pcclient\win You could make the change there. It depends how your papercut client notification app is run or deployed.

Has anyone had this issue whereby text from dialogue boxes settings and webpages is blank? I have tried reinstalling the software and cleaning the user account but to no avail

We have noticed that new phones and tablets are losing their 3.5mm audio port which will become an issue for us as we need those connections for our school sound system. How do we get around this? Are you buying adaptors or is is not possible to do so? Also Do we need different adaptors for iphones and android phones?

I am testing OneDrive which runs in the taskbar tray and is configured through group policy. Is it possible to set the OneDrive folder to be the root of the home folders? So in our case that would be drive (N: ) which will encompass Desktop, Documents, Pictures etc... We want to get all staff using Onedrive and don't want some work scattered on Office 365 and other files scattered on the server. It would be good to have them one and the same. "Set up protection of important folders" feature in OneDrive only work if they path to the (C: ) drive which doesn't happen on a domain like ours. TIA

Hi all. Whne it comes to Internet safety you can find out who came across an inappropriate website accidentally or who went on a dodgy website deliberately as you have the login details for that user on a Windows computer. But when it comes to iPads, this is not the case. What do you do to get round this issue? How do you track who last used shared class ipads?

Hi what computing magazines do you subscribe to for keeping up-to-date? We are looking particularly at education related ones rather than personal home ones. Thanks, Jason

Thanks Glenn, What about then moving files to that location in the scheduled task. Because the computer/user account would not have access to that folder would they. Is the only option as this is not on the domain to make the share available to "Everyone"?

Hi is it possible to grant permissions to a computer account or user on the laptop to a shared shared folder on a domain server? I have a robocopy batch file on a standalone laptop with CCTV and door software on it. It needs to copy the database files to the admin server so they get backed up. With it being standalone how can I grant permissions so that it can access the folder and run?

Sorry i did a search but didn't find an awful lot to refer to. So so long as we get them to sign to say they will follow the rules that covers us as we are only giving them access to the data (as best as possible) that they need as part of their responsibilities?

We have some contracted agency TA's and teachers here. Up until now they get a restricted desktop with no staff shared area. Now I have been asked to give them an email account so that would give them access to all of Office 365. And what about other websites? Do you get them to sign an agreement? What does it say? What do you do?

Hi all, In our NAACE IT Mark it says: "Regular monitoring and evaluation of the use of ICT resources within and beyond the school are comprehensive and influence ICT strategy and future produrement" Anyone doing this? Finding it a bit difficult to work out how we can achieve this. Maybe we do already. Not sure

Thanks. I miss Windows DVD Maker as it was quick and easy. I'll check out DVDStyler...

Hi all. What do people use these days to burn videos to DVDs that are playable. We want to give all parents our year 6 performance and I have managed to get a good test recording on one of our iPads. I can convert this MOV file into most formats using Format Factory. But its getting this file onto a DVD that will play in as many TVs as possible. What do you use? We have limited time to purchase any software really. So free would be good if possible.
