Blimey..... I have 40 staff over 45GB (one is over 120Gb) .... and ALL our Photography students from Yr11 upwards are around the 80GB mark each.......

Ladies / Gents.... apologies for dragging up an old thread................... Anybody currently running this software ? Only I've been asked to look at it................

@kennysarmy ...... Looked at this years ago. We have our own internal ntp server (time taken from ntp.swgfl.org.uk) which is broadcast to our internal LAN. We have never had a problem, except when a workstations time is too far out i.e. by 7-10 years (bios battery gone, and they reset). All of our Apple devices pick up the time and time zone automatically. I remember we had to ensure that our time was not broadcast outside of our LAN, but apart from that...... Blimey, it was sooooo long ago........

Oldest core2Duo, 4gb RAM 128SSD - Cleveo L390T's. Newest i5, 16Gb Ram 128 SSD (Photography & D&T) rest are i3 4Gb RAM 128 SSD. This year the i3's will go up to 16 Gb RAM - in the heavier areas, rest going up to 8Gb. We purchase with RAM upgrades in mind - and all our offices get ex curriculum machines..... After 7/8 years they are used for things like digi signage, laser cutters, development 'servers', student demo's. Anything we can use them for. A flavour of Linux is your friend. We keep everything for spares / projects, etc. Monitors ? Neovo glass fronts. We just keep replacing the inverter boards / power supplies when needed...... Had ours for over 10 years - awesome. The ONLY office that gets new machines is our finance team - they pay my wages AND fight for my budget each year

@DaveP - Almost - I seem to remember lots of technical words though..... This is a beauty... we'll be using this Thank You !!!

A log time ago we had a list of words that we needed to slip into our conversations. I'm sure we got these off the web somewhere...... I also have a feeling there were three columns and had to make a sentence with a word from each column......... ? Anyone got anything like this ? - I'm just looking to brighten up the day..... Ta muchly...............

Good lord... had this argument a few weeks ago about 'pre' printing letter heads. It was only when I pointed out to them it was costing twice as much did they go down the Template route.................

Have you looked at LanSchool ? Great for us......

Cool... I know who to ask about IPX/SPX then........

OES, Groupwise & ZenWorks are STILL great products !!!!!!

Extreme here too. so another "Other"..........

I'll try that again..... We also use the 17'' Glass Neovo where space is a little tight.

Done..... Good Luck !!

We found it was the Teacher in the room in the previous lesson setting the screens to how they wanted - the settings carried over to the next user.

We've got over 100 here. All hooked on the back of 23" glass fronted Neovo monitors. Art, D&T, Sen & Sport Science. We love 'em. We do buy different power supplies - but we keep the old for spares later on in their life cycle. On the expensive side to buy, but they are low power which again over the TCO is a win. We also but 0.3mtr USB extensions so the students are not plugging directly into the NUC. If you would like a photo of what they look like on the desk - shout. They look very neat and give max space on the desk.
