  1. NEC's repair service is very reasonable - for a manufacturer.
  2. I've got disable S1-S3 for both plugged in and on battery. Test it and see how you go.
  3. Offline files are disabled serverside here. If the machine can't connect the drive is not there. Direct Access either works or it doesn't and uses domain credentials. Otherwise, RDP is the way. OneDrive, is just well, OneDrive.
  4. Pretty much yes - I might choose create rather than update just to make sure the key is actually there to be on the safe side.
  5. 1gb. No offline files cache. Online or not at all.
  6. GPP Registry setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power\HiberbootEnabled Set to Dword 0
  7. That's why LED screens exist...
  8. That doesn't look like it's installed... What version of w10 is it? Do you do anything like remove apps in MDT?
  9. What does your xml layout say for the line about windows explorer. Mine is working and mine says
  10. True, but I've not found a site yet that *requires* edge or *requires* firefox. Having IE and Chrome available covers all bases for us.
  11. I just remove edge altogether. It doesn't bring anything to the party. IE11 for things that require ActiveX Chrome with a GPO behind it for everything else.
  12. I've always advised that it won't work satisfactorily... As it's in your garden your definition of satisfactory will probably be lower than the school: "we want to put a live feed of sports day up for parents but we want to use a 2000lm classroom projector onto a sheet on the brightest day of the year."
  13. Have a search... this has been done to death and you are way late to the party!
  14. My MIL has unlimited minutes on her £9 a month GiffGaff contract Nope... i'm surgically attached to mine
  15. Our Infant school had a chap on retainer for £300/month which got them scheduled backups (Via VPN to a removable hard drive in the guy's house ) and him onsite within an hour and something like up to 20 hours support in the event of an emergency *if they needed it*. They upped my pay by £150 a month sacked him off and profited!
  16. We have carried on largely as before... USB sticks were already bitlockered. We've updated the staff handbook to mention clearing cards and recorders as soon as data is used/transferred and not leaving site with equipment. We've also bought a few meaty shredders that will cope with shredding other media. Staff have been given multiple options for accessing things offsite without having to carry them around with them - RDP, OneDrive and DirectAccess. I think we have 2 members of staff who stubbornly continue to use Sticks still and they have acquiesced to bitlocker.
  17. We don't have a landline, we just use our mobiles - we also don't have any internet service to the property. I piggy back off my Mum's internet connection round the corner via a wifi bridge. She has a sky fibre phone/bb/tv package as she still uses landlines extensively for all the charity work she does. We pay 1/3 of her bill to cover our use of her BB. This also means that we have a single Unifi wifi network across both properties, which is handy.
  18. I'm hoping to steal a people carrier for the day going from Poole/Bournemouth area, so I'll have 4 available fairly comfortable seats and 2 that are only comfy if you're a midget. If they aren't full of person they can be put to down to take half a dozen PCs.
  19. Then I would say there is something screwy with that install, have another go!
  20. I seem to remember reading that 1803 + app is more strict about your remote settings being correct. Are you all certificated? Do you have gateway configured?
  21. It's your domain. It's tied to your DFE number. You need to to point them to this https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/nominet-prod/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/27104952/Schools_Domain_Name_Rules.pdf You can contest it with nominet, or you could just register a new one - you would have to forfeit your old one, but it may be easier!
  22. I've experienced Zoostorm. They're fine when they're working... Actually, no they aren't fine at all. Virtually non existent manufacturer back up, no way of telling what hardware you've got without examining each machine individually. In the room of 30 we had donated at my last school, whilst all of them were cosmetically the same there were multiple different models of main board from 3 different manufacturers which resulted in at least 10 different NIC drivers and 5 different chipsets. I wouldn't touch with a bargepole.
  23. From one of my friends... Obviously, this means Do not follow sat nav, left turn not suitable for HGV. Obviously.
  24. Not seen this one in the list... Local to me... What could possibly go wrong. Tanks, Monkeys, Militatry Base, and an experimental nuclear facility at Winfrith near Wool.
  25. The problem that we have at the infant school is that historically they have had tower cases with the audio on the top. The PCs are on the desk behind the monitors and the lead makes a kind of N shape. If someone scoots away from the PC they snap the jacks off - either in the headphones or in the PC.
