bonjour

Do you have WiFi-6 by any chance? We had WiFi-6 access points installed across-site over the summer, and I'm wondering if this is interfering with the MS WDAs. Thanks.

We're currently trialling a dozen of these with Surface Pros. We're experiencing an issue with hard crashes, particularly when using Powerpoint. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? We were thinking of going school-wide with a Surface Pro / WDA solution next summer, but currently it's hard to recommend due to poor reliability.

We're currently in the process of moving our Apple management from Profile Manager to Meraki MDM. Does anyone know if there's a way to add network shares to the dock? I've tried adding directory items with an smb path, but the dock items just appear as question marks. Any help / advice much appreciated.

London BSF school. RM won the contract, and installed identical configurations across the borough. Managed to get this working with the command now. Thanks..

Sneaky. Thank you...

Sorry for reviving an old thread... We're starting to experience this issue, with our WLAN having been installed under BSF 10 years ago. Unfortunately our WLAN controller is running software version 7.0.220.0, so we can't run the command/s to ignore the certificate and we're manually setting the time back in order to allow access points to join the WLAN controller. Is there any way to get hold of a more recent version of the software without a maintenance contract? Would save a bit of hassle in changing the date back and forth.

Thanks for all the replies. We're going to leave the columns for SEN and student funding unticked, and see if anything stops working in SMHW. No reasonable reason why they should need that data.

Would it be possible to provide more info. on the Oliver / Wonde issue? We've contacted both Softlink and Wonde, who blame each other. Softlink say they made no changes and Wonde say they would not make any changes without their clients requesting it. Thanks

'Data Permissions' menu item in Show My Homework:

Yup. We experienced the same thing with Softlink / Oliver and Wonde. Didn't realise it was due to the change in data extraction requirements. Will double check what data is being extracted for Softlink now..

Has anyone else noticed additional data Show My Homework is now requesting through Xporter on Demand? We've been asked for consent to provide the following information: Student Funding- Student additional funding indicators SEN - Access to student SEN provision information This is very sneaky by Show My Homework. Can anyone think of any reason why they should need to extract this valuable and sensitive data? Might be worthwhile verifying what Show My Homework is extracting from your MIS..

We're currently in the process of migrating away from Fronter. After playing around with exports and imports for a bit, I've decided to transfer the content (that's been requested) manually. It's better to adapt the content anyway, as it can be presented in a far nicer way in Moodle. We were lucky in that Fronter has not been used extensively, so I only have about 20 rooms of significance to transfer. It was interesting that Fronter's presence at BETT this year was practically zero, even at the Pearson stall.

Many thanks for the responses. I'll be speaking with ICT later about their options. Firing up a LAMP VM in ESXi is certainly a possibility.

Just wondering what sort of solutions you guys have come up with for this.. Our ICT department want to teach PHP at key stage 5. Obviously this requires some sort of webserver to interpret the PHP commands and output to HTML. The ICT department are not interested in online services such as compileonline.com We could either set up our own internally or go for a hosted service, with a subdomain and associated ftp account for each student taking the course (roughly 10). I'd be grateful for any thoughts alternative solutions members of Edugeek have come up with. Cheers.

Last week, we had this in the VLE Export Log: Operation: To replace the content of a set of identified 'person' records. The target must write the new data into the 'person' records. These are destructive write-overs of all of the original information. Exception Message: The XML file is not valid followed immediately by another event: Exception Message: Some or all of the Membership data is not synchronised with the IMS ES service. Adjustments have been made to resynchronise the data on the next export. If errors persist, contact your system administrator. The next day and since that time we have the same failure: Operation: To replace the content of a set of identified 'person' records. The target must write the new data into the 'person' records. These are destructive write-overs of all of the original information. Exception Message: The XML file is not valid Have tried performing full upload. Have performed sims database diagnostics. Have removed a student's email address which contained an invisible, illegal character! Have performed a database check to search for null entries in student/staff names and dates of birth. Have checked the internet and service in Sims services to see if they're running. Have run out of ideas!
