Great British Bake Off: BBC loses rights to broadcast show
john replied to elsiegee40's topic in TV & Movies
I have to say I quite enjoyed the new GBBO, I did use Sky+ to grab it though so can skip all the adverts (of which we had plenty) given its now over an hr long. -
I did this in one place and conatcted various publishers who emailed back they were happy to allow us to format shift as they didnt offer them anymore / newer version to buy on DVD etc... but we had to sign a form to say we had kept the original VHS tape and not binned / sold / etc and that it wasn't about using more than one at once as they expected you to buy 2 tapes if you wanted to do it at 2 classes at once....

Temporary internet provision - big ask!

See if someone like Oz can help - https://www.simpliwifi.co.uk/ a sibling to OP Software a long standing friend of member of EduGeek. They do wifi for big events, festivals etc so would have some ideas I'm sure. -
Its a pain as there was a great QNAP package for this that I've used for several years now so its back to the drawing board for that

You can host them but they will only be valid for connection to 2008 R2 or older servers, a lot of this is based on honesty and trust from MS that you are doing what you should do and being legal. The same applies with the numbers you can go over your number and it won't stop you working if you use user CALS for example, it seems very much that User CALS are quite trust based. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-client-access-license has a nice table showing versions and compatibility options.

awww I know that sign

Who supplies the line is it TT Direct or is it BT with TT ISP over it? If its BT withTT over it log a voice complaint that the cracking / popping means voice calls are bad and it will move much quicker.

BT Wholesale last gen platform / previous gen platform was only X,Y, or Z can be connected, but the next gen platform that came out this year I believe is less fussy so will take more but they still don't have things like Asterisk on the supported list! However unlike the last gen / previous platform this new one doesn't actually block devices it doesn't like where-as the last gen platform actively blocked none approved devices. It felt like going back to the days of the green BABT approved sticker!! - See this blog - BT Business SIP Trunk and Asterisk PBX – Part I – The commercial wrangle – Mike Tubby B.Sc. G8TIC for more reading on that and the bloggers experiments. In research I've done for SIP, Gamma is for sure one to look at they are big for a reason, not the cheapest offering, but from talking to users they seem to be highly recommended (and seen several on here recommend them) but I don't have first hand experience of them but a colleague does and he very much rated them in his previous employment.

RD CALS are not upscaling so if your CALS are 2008 they won't work on 2012, 2016, however it can work the other way if you have 2016 CALs they will do for lower (unless MS have changed it again....)

mmmm hope its as tasty as the 6" ones they do currently nom nom nom nom

[ms office - 2016] Missing the Office Update button
john replied to timbo343's topic in Office Software
You have also remembered to add that version to your WSUS list so it knows to get them and offer them (just checking but it has been missed before ) -
Yup SharePoint has had Wikis for a long time I'd hope they existing in SharePoint 365

Just re-do it and arrange a re-key through the GoDaddy website its much easier and ensure it just works, you get i think its 48 or 72hrs before the current cert is nuked by them when you re-key so plenty of time. It doesn't cost anything to re-key (I've done it several times with ours when I forget / mess up / forget to make Private Key exportable etc)

The desk surface has probably been polished smooth as they need something to reflect off. I had this with some 10 year old work surface so squares of fablon were needed to give it a rough finish again so the mice didn't spike around.

I've used Qnap personally and at work, seem to do the job nicely, have one of the 10 bay ones in one of our offices as an iSCSI target for Backup Exec to use and works well, backups nice and speedy and been rock solid.

Did you remeber to tell MDT how you wanted it setup as you can do that in MDT, so when we get new Laptops and Desktops with the crappy recovery and secret stalking partitions MDT just blats the lot and makes one C Drive for us as that is what we tell it.

Do NOT let @Domino or @Ric_ touch them simple -
If they were an external provider it could be a script reader doing as per script and someone wrote the script for SAS Disk and never said if disk is bigger go bigger etc.. ? I do see it at times, anyone still make a partition on the same VHD for the Page File to sit in when its on the same VHD, same SCSI Card, same LUN, SAN etc...
-
Is that disk MBR or GPT as if its MBR then you've hit the limit of MBR as its 2TB

Recommend me a large touch-screen device for the Head's Office.
john replied to kennysarmy's topic in Hardware
I'd look at @Clevertouch or @Clevertouch_Rob (who are an EduGeek sponsor or were last time i checked), I have a few of them around the world now and are gear and support and the firm is great and helpful so given your saying your heads office, its going to be more business than Edu chalk face, I can highly recommend for that as I'm in the commercial world not edu. We looked at the MS Surface Hub for our boardrooms but at the cost we've done several rooms for the cost of 1 Surface Hub. -
As with any CCTV analogue or IP you should ensure connections are secure and tamperproof this would go for BNC on analogue systems. Ways round this could be mounting the camera to a box with security screws for example and having the connection inside that. Not sure what accessoreis Hikvision do but some firms make connection boxes but it very much depends on what your connecting to / fixing it to etc...

I've been impressed with what I've read and seen of the HP Pagewide so far but haven't had my paws on one to test in real life but its on our list when our MFPs come for renewal as HP offer them as a fully serviced MFP solution and they claim they are cheaper than a traditional MFP, however being ink based they will suffer the usual issues with getting wet and not as crisp as a laser if your totally nit-picky.
