Hi, Is anyone else having a problem today sending emails to any OCR email addresses? We're getting Remote server replied: 451 Internal resource temporarily unavailable errors. Our email box is okay and it's looking like we've been greylisted for some reason. OCR are looking at it their end.

Greetings - I'm after the HP System Board Configuration Utility for HP 15-AC106NA laptops - I can't seem to find the right version & HP are telling me it needs to be sent to them :-( A windows 10 update has gone screwy on it (user interrupted it mid install) and now it says the system board CT number is missing on start-up....

Hi is anyone else having issues trying to access the Staff Area on the DFE Secure Access Portal? We know about the issues with The Key to Success service - we're not trying to use that area. Many thanks!

We need to install four seamless screens in our reception to show either one large image(s) or four separate images. Been looking at the likes of the Barco solutions but too expensive. What have you done - and what do we need aside from the obvious (screens, mounts, cables and a controller/PC) to achieve a workable result? Input much appreciated!

Hello, Anyone else seeing the screen 'freezing' randomly since 9.3.2? I've seen it on a couple of iPhone 6's now including my own this morning. The home button, volume buttons work, but the screen is unresponsive to touch. Usually sorts itself after a few seconds or minutes but I've just had to do a hold home button & power restart on a colleague's after his locked up.

We've used eskimo technology in the past and they've gotten us some good deals on Apple tech.

Hi, Last year I found a government website which went in to some detail about why UK schools should use an offsite backup strategy for their data and not just rely on tapes and taking them offsite but I now cant find it again - even with the mighty Google. Any pointers? Must be a UK government website. Ta.

A friend upgraded his laptop from Windows 8.1 to 10 and now he has the infamous kerknackered Start Menu issue: No problem, I thought, I'll sort it - but no - none of the 'fixes' or workarounds work and now I'm stumped. The interesting thing with this machine is that you can't even create another working user account - when you try to log in for the first time you get an error message stating that the profile service isn't running... ...and the 'fixes' for that don't work either. I knew I hated Windows 10 for a reason. I've told him to copy all his work and use the recovery partition on it to put it back to 8.1 Any advice before he does this? I've tried everything I can find on the internet, as I say.

So, manglement have decided that they want a particular email address excluding when users send email to a particular dynamic distribution group in Exchange 2010. They want the user to remain a member of said DDG......... I'm new to using Exchange Powershell & commandlets and a trawl of sites has left me a bit confused and a bit concerned I'm going to break something. I've been looking at using Set-DynamicDistributionGroup and the RecipientFilter property but I am confused regarding the syntax to use. I've come up with: - RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq 'All Lower Sixth Form Students') -and -not(Name -like 'John Smith'))} Help much appreciated.

Give them a 386sx with Dos 6.22 and Windows 3.1 - now that would be hilarious....

Hello, Can anyone make out the characters / name of this signature on a painting? It's causing quite a debate thanks to those tails and loops!

We're a CC4 network. A user has a school issued laptop which is intended solely for VPN use at home. Unbeknown to us they are using it in school, but not connecting it to the network. Yesterday, they logged in, created a folder on the desktop, saved some really important files there, then were amazed when they logged off and then on again to find it had disappeared.... A scan of the hdd with Recuva hasn't shown anything. Are they well and truly stuffed?

We looked at a T2 that needed some TLC but Mrs T_G got impatient so we decided to blow our pensions instead. Our daughter is inheriting nowt!

Was it a California? Probably the roof piston on one side went. I've seen it happen when in very hot weather.

Monty Takes Them Camping | Adventures in a VW T5 Camper… then. Problem with thumbnails in posts which I'll get sorted one day.

Hah, you'll be bored by it - it's all about my trips in my VW T5 with Mrs. T_G

Did anyone else suffer issue yesterday with the business btec exam?

We're using KingPower for the school site. I use Newspaper for my own blog.

Anyone here with a whippet? Wifey wants one but I'm told they can't be left for long periods, pee on the floor and eat furniture?

Broccoli? Great stuff.

That's what we were getting and apparently it's a known bug but they didn't bother to tell us We also saw it crashing for a few users when they tried to upload their results

Anyone else had issues with this today after the December updates?

We've been asked to review our support contract with CAPITA for SIMS.Net and FMS. The usual 'can we save money?' malarky. Who are you with in terms of support for SIMS.Net / FMS? Can you recommend any other support companies? Many thanks!

Any Wordpress gurus on here? I'm trying to find out if the version of Wordpress you run is dependent on the the theme you have installed?

We've been told we have to start doing our own AV installs now so who do you buy your AV fascia plates / boxes, bits and bobs and AV cables from? Many thanks!
