Does anyone use the Inventry anywhere app so you can see on a iPad who’s in school? Never used it but Inventry syncs to the cloud so in theory you just need an iPad to see the fire register.

Had the email this morning saying my card has been passed to printing but I only had an email verification, no ID card check. Must have an honest name [emoji23]

How secure is the plug-in as I thought using something separate from the computer you’re using for email was the way forward.

I’ve been saying to the HT we need and should be using MFA for 365 but keep getting pushed back with the excuse it’s policy staff should not be using mobiles in class. The school is broke with no money for tokens and no money to upgrade 365 licenses. Pretty much between a rock and a hard place.

I've not needed to use the script to remove printers for years and it was for version 1703 so guess it's not valid now.

Where does it say school staff can join?

I'm in the queue but the estimated wait time is more than 2 hours!

Thanks. I think we are ok as long as Edge continues to work but it looks like we are running an old version of Webstation anyway so it really needs updating.

Using Building Operation Webstation to control the heating and we have started getting this error when using Chrome but Edge works fine. It must have been a Chrome update that has broke it, any ideas why Chrome is doing this?

Here is my script that sets the wallpaper for different events throughout the year. Using BGInfo make the .bgi file and save it somewhere, then call GBInfo telling it when the .bgi file is. You will need a different .bgi file for each wallpaper. As you can see some code is commented out because the students made a different wallpaper for each month but they lost interest so it stopped but I kept the code just in case.

Thanks both. I've did the PAT course a few years ago and more recently read the code of practice, in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment, 5th edition as testing changed a year or two back. I do not recall anything in the code of practice or the course for that matter about rust inside microwave ovens. My microwave at home is stainless and I've seen first hand how microwaves can spark when the bottom heating element went faulty and started arcing from the microwaves. It looked like a welder. Anyway I've failed the microwave in the staffroom, that should make me popular!

While doing my annual PAT testing I’ve come across a microwave oven where the protective paint inside the oven has come off and is showing rust. I’m assuming this is a fail as it could start sparking and get hot? Just wanted to run this by someone as never seen this before.

Have you tried delaying Bginfo until GP has been applied?

Thanks both. It's the release prints option that we really need and just watched a couple of videos about Papercut Mobility and don't think print release is included.

The primary school I'm at has had iPads for a while but they are not connected to any printers mainly as the thought of letting pupils print at will is too much to bare so I've been wondering if Papercut might be the answer. Would Papercut allow iPads to print and hold any jobs until released by staff? Could iPads be configured to use Papercut using Moslye as the MDM? As money is tight would Papercut NG cover this? Thanks.

Thanks, just tried it and it works fine. Are there any setting to to make chrome open maximised the first time it runs?

I’m surprised the LA actually thought it was a good idea to say that, shocking really. What authority was it?

I’ve got battery drills by Milwaukee and Ryobi, both 18v but the difference between them is like day and night. If they did come out the same factory no way could you say they are the same.

It’s an easy mistake to make. Here in Leicestershire, we have a school bus service that collected for an all-girls school and had the logo ‘Ride the Beaver’ on the bus.

Didn't think of that. Thanks.

The school has not bought any new devices of 15 years.

So I'm testing Win10 LTSC 2021 as most of our machines will not run win11 so needed something to tide us over until they can be replaced. This will will probably be a long time the way things are going but I'm stumped over how to overcome new Teams not installing on LTSC. Classic Teams works fine but support ends July 1st 2024 and the new Teams will not install so where do I go with this?

Thanks.

We have a shared mailbox which is being hammered with hacking attempts. I understand if I disable the mailbox it will still receive messages but will sharing still work? Thanks.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
