I wonder if I could take a few minutes of your time if you are based in the northwest? I am currently completing a degree in Business and Leadership, as part of my degree I am required to undertake some work based research, it would be much appreciated if you could complete the survey found here URL Removed for now.(it is relevant to all staff in schools and colleges) The survey is looking at well-being and technology during the pandemic, hopefully it wont take too much of your time. If you could complete it as soon as possible but by Monday the 28th June that would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Luke

@Jamman960 do we not need communications credit? what needs configuring after the licence is applied?

Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone has set up a teams meeting with a phone number where people can just phone into the meeting so they have audio only. We are coming a cross a few cases where our parents don't have the technology to be able to join a teams meeting or frightened of technology this is affecting our vulnerable families where multiple agencies are involved such as healthcare professionals, social workers, school staff etc. If anyone has managed to set this up i would be great full of some points, I realise I have to licence certain aspects of 365 to acheive this but unsure of everything that is required. Thanks in advance

Hello, Im in a position where i can buy some new desktops for an IT suite and some offices. Im looking at the HP Prodesk400 G6. has any one any experience with these any issues? Or can you recommend a SFF machine with the following spec Windows 10 Pro 64 Intel® Core™ i5- 8 GB memory; 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ SSD storage can be 256GB SSD

Hello, I have an opportunity to purchase 11 C Touch laser Nova for the same price as the skys. I have no experience of the Nova and have around 20-30 of the skys. Does any one have any experiance of the NOVAs

Never found a solution but found a work around. Open DC go to preferences -> Security (Enhanced) and untick "run in AppContainer" then restart DC.

Just to let all those know that sponsored me i completed the Great north in 1 hour 47minutes. A great achievement after 19 months of running. Do any of your run with a head torch or can recommend one (ideally suitable for heavy rain as i go out in all conditions)

Thanks @jdoyle

Thanks @elsiegee40 for your donation.

Since starting the couch 2 5k in Jan 2018 i am now aiming to complete the Great North Run 8th Sept 2019. If anyone would like to sponsor me for our chosen charity St Catherine's that would be great https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ctk-gnr19

I have used these in the past https://www.ontrack.com/uk/ Whilst they didnt get any data back they gave me a report of what the issue was and confirmed that it was beyond recovery. They do the assessment free of Charge and if they can recover data they then offer to recover it at a fixed fee. I was trying to recover data from a Micro SD Card.

No issues with connecting to printer, prints fine from other applications. No print management in place.

Running Win 10 all the PDFs vary they are usually just text based. But even a blank PDf created from a word document has the issue.

Hello, I have just started having users report that they have trouble with PDFs. When they are printing it will take ages to flatten a document 5mins for a 1 or 2 page document (not complex). Also when printing multiple copies it take sages to adjust any of the printing settings. I have printed a blank word document to PDF and this still has the same issue. We are running the latest version of DC i have tried an uninstall and reinstall. Clients experience same issues at different sites with different printers installed. All other printing form other applications is fine. When the pdf is opened with chrome the document works fine and prints fine too. Anyone any advice or is experiencing this?

Deos anyone have a copy of this tool and does it still work?

Hello, does anyone use a surface pro as their primary device with out an external monitor. I look after a few schools so i'm quite mobile. When im in my office ill have it connected to external displays but when im at the primaries ill be using its screen - my only reservation is its screen size?

Just to let everyone now ontrack have a free evaluation and a fixed fee of 300 for sd cards if data can be recovered. Thanks to all those that helped.

@sparkeh good luck this was me a year ago and im now able to run half marathons i have secured a place on the great north run in sept. Good look take it easy and listen to your body. Make sure you stretch and do leg strengthing exercises as you progress with the program.
