Hi We use office 365 and I am about to set up the AD sync option for it to sync our accounts and passwords. In the steps it mentions about changing the domain for each AD account. Currently ours are network-name.internal. Will this cause any issues changing it to schoolname.sch.uk? Will it affect any permissions etc? Also we use RM CC4.5. When you create accounts via the rmmc it automatically does it with the domain network-name.internal. How do I change this to the new email domain? Thanks

Hi I have been asked to draw up a plan for if our school wanted to transition to being cloud based for the majority of everything. Email, servers, documents, backups, VLE etc. Has anyone else done anything like this that they would be able to share? I have seen schools broadband offer a cloud server based option called RapidVM. Does anyone use this? Thanks

For a bit of a newbie how do you go about starting to isolate something like this? / finding the cause? We have had a few schools by up hit by ransomware so swotting up on it. Cheers

Thanks guys. I will reply in detail tomorrow but wanted to say thanks for all the helpful advice so far.

Thanks for that. Where abouts did you work? Any tips on finding the jobs? How long did you live there? Cheers

Hi I'm after a bit of advice. My wife and I are doing a bit of dreaming and being fed up of the weather here so have decided to research upping sticks to New Zealand or Australia. We like the look of the lifestyle etc and love the thought of the scenery over there. Lots of things to look at but I was specifically wondering if anyone could answer the questions below. Has anyone done this move? Moved from the UK and started again down under? How was it? Any tips? Anyone who lives there, are the job prospects good for a school network manager? Have only worked at a cc4 school so not afraid to work in a junior role as long as I can progress and earn enough money. I imagine it's a bit of blue sky thinking but it's a nice dream. Thanks

Thanks @Oaktech that's a great starting point Cheers

Does anyone have a library of extremism / terrorism related keywords that they are able to share with me? We have been asked to set up some specific reports to help meet the Prevent requirements but struggling to come up with keywords. Thanks

Hi Does anyone know of an easy way / utility (free) to scan the network to find which computers have SSD's and which have HDD's? Thanks

I think a rebranding is in order!

So would my command look like this? $AccountSkuId = "llicenceName" $UsageLocation = "GB" $User = Get-MsolUser -All $User | ForEach-Object { Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -UsageLocation $UsageLocation Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -AddLicenses $AccountSkuId }

Hi, I tried changing it to -All but now get the following message.

Might be worth noting you can cancel the contract within the next 30 days. I had a letter saying the same and in the small print at the bottom it said basically if you don't like it you can cancel the contract by 31st Dec with no cancellation fees. Could use it to negotiate the price down or try get rid of the cost rise?

As the title really. We have been asked if it is possible to track certain students, how long they are logged in and where? Anyone know of any free ways to do this? Cheers

For people that have no laptops or getting rid of them what have you replaced them with? Desktops, other mobile devices etc?

Thanks guys all useful and great to see we are not the only ones struggling with them! Should add as well currently we are an RM school so logons are not great!

Yer, would need to get it approved but i think it will be a far cheaper option, more reliable for staff and cut down immensely on the techs and my time fixing the issues.

Hi I am currently doing some planning for our equipment lifecycles, cost cutting exercise and general overview of our ICT provision. Laptops is something that always comes up as a point of contention. Staff don't like using them as they take a while to get up and running and put away. Techs don't like them as they are forever replacing missing keys and other repairs. What i wondered is, is everyone else in the same situation? Have you done anything to make them more effective? Do you just put up with them? Or have you got rid of them? One option i am looking at is replacing two laptop trollies with putting desktop computers in some classrooms instead and having this as bookable to other subjects not a timetabled room. Any views would be great.

In a weird twist students are able to access the course fine. Teachers and admins cannot. I have searched in the database for Thanks

I'm trying to access one of our moodle courses and it is coming up in chrome saying it is infected. Each time I try access it I just get redirected to an external wordsearch site wordsearchmaker.net :S Infection Type: JS:ScriptIP-inf [Trj] Anyone know how I can access the course? Thanks

Hi we have been trying on an iOS and android device today. If I could get it set up all on the ruckus controller that would be our preferred but may have to drop it on the core.

Bump. Really want to try get this sorted today. Thanks
