Outlook now showing staff photos instead of initials
kennysarmy replied to kennysarmy's topic in Cloud Services
Apparently one of our deputy heads decided to make some changes to our Bromcom O365 integration settings!!! -
Suddenly our staff photos are now being displayed in Office 365 OWA, pulled from Bromcom! Weird as we've made no changes and were happy with the default way it just showed users initials. How do I revert back?

Why do you say "very" ill? Are you overweight? Comorbidities? Bad diet? etc For most people Covid is a very mild illness. Good to keep things in perspective. -
Comparing web filters
kennysarmy replied to JordanT91's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Any supplier who continually tried to blame others for any issues rather than just supporting to their best ability would be unlikely to get a chance at any future contract. So it's a short-sighted view, in my opinion. Value for money comes in very different options though. -

You must have been very bad in a former life -

Also, you could decouple the web-filtering, firewall service element from the Broadband provision! No reason why you need to take both from the same vendor. -
Looks like January windows updates are causing all sorts of issues..
kennysarmy replied to Jcx500's topic in Windows
If the updates are yanked - but have already been downloaded to a server ready for manual installation kick-off - what do you do? -

Don't you just need to uninstall the update? -

Can't see of any reported issues with VMWare - is this bad patch only linked to HyperV ? -
You know what they say: "Act In Haste, Repent At Leisure"

Don't you need to get some demo models in for your teachers to try out and decide? We did this and ended up with Viewsonic after they also trialled Smart and CleverTouch.

All OK here for me too - hopefully that's it fixed...until the next thing MS break !

We're getting the exact same with some users - but for some it still works.

OWA - double click not opening email in new window.

Thanks - least I know it's not something we've done! -
Anyone else experiencing this issue today? We've changed nothing - for some staff it's working but not for others.

Horrendous. Unfortunately our outgoing bursar signed us up for a 3 or 4 year contract without actually doing any testing. The ordering element seems to be OK - browser based, but we gave up I think on the HR side of it which required JAVA installation and VPN - which had to be installed by the end-user!! Support was dreadful.

Protect the vulnerable, mandatory vaccine for over 50's and then let's just get on with it! -
Just turned on some of our Lenovo 300e Netbook (2nd Gen) (Type 81M9) which came recently They all say the wrong date and time. I've joined to our Guest WiFi and Set Time automatically fails. Time zone is London - but time set is 15 hours advance! Also I cannot uninstall Mcafee AV so we can put on Sophos Not impressed.

Our latest batch of 16 laptops came about a week ago - no sign of any cases or pouches - I'm guessing that's for the school to buy.

We're accelerating our distribution of the latest batch of Gov. laptops - but that's it.
