A way to record sixth formers having lunch at school
Steve21 replied to junz's topic in How do you do....it?
Honestly I'd recommend finding out why it's "too long", scanning a card and pressing a "lunch button" shouldn't be taking over a couple of seconds to register and do it properly via the catering system. If there's issues with specs of the server, or finding buttons etc that can all be changed to solve it Steve- 1 reply

Err the original bunch we had were .\localadmin but think our last batch was just .\admin so guess might be worth trying all the combos Steve

Are your clients actually set to get updates from SCCM? When we deployed 365 we had to set the config file to make it managed by SCCM (OfficeMgmtCOM="True" and then under the client settings for Office 365 management in SCCM), otherwise by default it won't go to SCCM for the updates Guessing it's the same for 2019 being built over the same C2R tech. What's set on the clients in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration Steve

We did it via EES so still have access to KMS/AD, but if you go via CSP I think the only "official" route is the Azure activation (the KMS will still show in VL but it's not licensed as such) In regards to making the changes, it should automatically pull the key from Azure and migrate it across to the subscription model, assuming it has the right base license in the first place, but again this is dependant on exactly what you did to your images etc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-10-subscription-activation Steve

It's not really speculating, all of these suggestions have been discussed before and they've given reasons why There are dozens of threads regarding the same issue over the last few years (Without waffling it was about the mixed content warnings with vbulletin which most browsers block and manual changes across the masses of data unless re-writing every url etc regarding the loadbalancer etc, but the latest issue was with importing tags into the new provider which was affecting thousands of posts when the last update was posted) I guess all my point is no-one can claim they haven't had answers or responses, it's more just that people don't like the timeline. But there's not much that can be changed with that based on the responses everyones had already. Steve

Is it only on Safari you're getting it, or even in Chrome etc? There were a number of problems with Bluetooth interference after updates (something to do with the way it hotspots for airdrop etc), might be worth temporarily disabling it (properly in system config etc rather than control centre), and seeing if it magically pops back to life. I know long time wise won't help, but just to test it Steve

Depending how you're licensed that changed last year: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/upgrade-windows-to-education Bit faffy as it has to go through MS directly but do-able if needed and freeeee Steve

In all fairness to the guys there have been lots of responses telling you the same thing which is they're doing it on the new platform. Now yes maybe it's a "soon" (TM Blizzard) response as to when that will be, but there have been lots of replies to the same question Steve

Have you actually installed a separate SQL instance? As that's only showing the BKUPEXEC instance, and you're trying to connect to SQLEXPRESS which would by why it's erroring You'd need to run the SQL Express installer and set that up as a separate one if you didn't want to mix the same instance between both items (Edit - As a side note, it shouldn't mess anything up by just adding a new SQL database into the current instance, so that's another option, but honestly both will work fine for something so small) Steve

Let me grumble about the BT Smart Hub 2 and BTWi-fi
Steve21 replied to chazzy2501's topic in General Chat
I don't know if BT are the same as Virgin, but if you disable that you may also lose access to the public spots on your own account Having it enabled shouldn't affect your own network at all as it normally splits it off (think VLAN wise) so it goes straight out to BT etc rather than on your own network, so really apart from the tiny latency aspect nothing should be affected on your end Steve -
Recommended Network Replacement Installers
Steve21 replied to gwendes's topic in How do you do....it?
Frameworks are a bunch of companies that the Gov already approved for large projects, and you basically subject a job and the companies all tender/quote for it to give you best value There's lots of different ones, but for example CPC (https://www.thecpc.ac.uk/) have their ICT Networking and Storage Solutions group (https://www.thecpc.ac.uk/suppliers/categories/framework.php?categoryID=5&frameworkID=263#LotsSuppliers) But there are loads to give you ideas, https://www.everythingict.org/, CCS https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/suppliers/search/1?search=true&framework=RM1050&limit=20 etc Steve -
Recommended Network Replacement Installers
Steve21 replied to gwendes's topic in How do you do....it?
SwitchShop is my go-to for anything networking wise But it's always useful to look at the framework for company ideas, as you can see the suppliers who are in the framework even without going through it (unless you want to) Steve -
Just a note, but most of the connectors use the connect.ini to point to SIMs, so generally if you update that on the old SIMs server they'll just point to the new one. At least that way you can migrate over, and slowly move connectors as time allows. Done that in a few places previously Steve

That sounds about right. The interactive papers are just designed for software to read/write (as in remove all the random rubbish so a reader understands it). It's down to how the individual uses it in terms of what software you'd use normally, some people just use a reader with it and then the normal paper to write on manually, or if you're writing on it electronically it's down to what you're providing (or at least was last time I used it) Steve

There's an out of band to resolve the DC issues now anyway, so no harm in installing. Just needs the manual update applied after https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/may-19-2022-kb5015019-os-build-14393-5127-out-of-band-8548dfda-38ba-4fb6-a7a3-42b86ac2cc81 https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/may-19-2022-kb5015018-os-build-17763-2931-out-of-band-e4c28a4d-7dbe-4ef5-a539-f0b21cba2ebb etc depending on which OS (Edit - As a side note, as noticed someone above said about NPS still, it seems to depend on the order you install the updates to whether it resolves it. Regarding updating the CA first for PKI, resetting OID etc) Steve

You have an extra i in input Try without that Steve

Not sure if it's something you'd consider (or have as an option) but we used to have school phones in places that were let out in a previous school (sports centre etc), and we had the option on the phone to enable a lock-pin to block dial-outs unless you entered the pin Maybe something that your handsets/pbx has? Otherwise I'd just consider going down a small cabinet/lockbox style route rather than something specific for a phone Steve

Depending on what sort of attendance report, you could just design a report and add those 3 students into it as filters to remove them, but don't think anything premade would allow that Steve
-
Despite it being a really stupid phrase, I'm sure last time I did it it is actually "reboot" Just had a look on mine: But obviously, would be good to check your NMC version etc as there's 3/4 nowadays Steve
-
Apart from the front option, there's the reset button on the back you can hold to reset the card, but that'll default the NMC options so I guess only a last chance kind of issue As you might need to reset it after a reboot otherwise Steve

Coronavirus: General discussion (see opening post for rules)
Steve21 replied to Dos_Box's topic in General Chat
"Insert normal legal/medical spiel" It's ironic as their update still says it's the best way to prevent it, however it's no longer mandatory "just" recommended. No doubt just a way to stop arguments and planes turning around because of the minority Steve -

All of EU are dropping it under their new EASA plans, so doubt any will continue tbh Steve -
Sounds like the permissions on the folder might be an issue Once it gets to that stage it runs it under the system or computer account etc so that needs adding as a level on the folder/share rather than you as the user normally What’s set on that folder/share you’re using? Steve

As my quote above Steve
