How many PCs are you wanting to activate windows on? What you need to do is setup one KMS Server which is via a couple of command prompts, this takes the KMS key and activates against MSFT. Your workstations don't specifically need a product key, however you can enter one of these - Appendix A: KMS Client Setup Keys as appropriate this tells them you need to find a KMS somewhere on the network to activate from not MS. Once that is done you will be fine, it takes a minimum number of machines on the network before they activate from KMS.

BBC Sport - F1: New Caterham Nose Design Prompts 'Huge' Reaction
john replied to 6Foot2's topic in General Chat
Some very interesting nose's this year and most of them are banned for next season already before we have had time to really decide if the are any good as Charlie & Bernie doesn't like the look of them and are a bit pee'd off at how they have interpreted the rules from the FIA. Clearly the FIA knew what design they wanted but those clever boffins have come up with many more styles than expected, before long it will be the FIA making a standard car and jobs sorted its a true race driver test if they all match as that is how they seem to want it to be exactly what they now want and look etc.. -

[closed] bug/error: Rep not working - PEBKAC issue :)
john replied to featured_spectre's topic in EduGeek.net Site Problems
Works fine for me in FF as well -
Worth checking the history of your docks if you are going that way, as has been said Dell enterprise do true docking stations and they have been the same connector for years (we have a LOT of Dell docks where I am and thus use Dell laptops due to that), New "sexi" Lenovo kit that people like and want is non-dockable without a USB3 dock which the Lenovo one is nice it has dual VGA, USB3 Ports, Networking etc... so well worth looking at and considering them as once you have 70 docks you are basically stuck with that choice for a long time with vendor specific docks and if that vendor changes the dock connector you are stuffed. If I was to do it in a school and had to have docks, I'd be going for the new USB 3.0 ones as the drivers for them go on all the makes and gives you some level of general docking VS a vendor specific dock as I would have fear that I'd spend say £10K on Lenovo docks and them change the connector in 2 years time so you are not able to dock the new ones.

Server Licensing on EES is full licenses not upgrades that is the Desktops that are upgrades only. How are you licensing the Server OS currently depends on your question. You can get different version which give different virtualisation rights, for instances Datacentre gives unlimited VMs on that host so you need to see how things are licensed currently.

Would set the description and job title both of which were visible in the Address Book in Outlook and OWA without digging into each user, the Job Title is the 2nd column next to Name in the address book. All students were either "Student" or "Sixth Form Student"

Have they set it up as a shared workbook? Share a workbook - Excel - Office.com is a rough guide from MS. It doesn't have to be stored on SharePoint either just in a shared drive. I used that way with various things and it wasn't too bad, occasional glitches but it did the job.
