  1. You probably won't even be able to retrofit any cabling in the walls if the property is leasehold. On the leasehold note make sure to save some money to buy the lease as the building companies are now using this to cash in shortly after completion by selling the lease on, you basically have one shot at getting the lease at a reasonable price and they normally do this when they expect people to have no money.
  2. Unless you have Windows 10 and Sever 2016 or 2019, which appear to be unaffected.
  3. The sheer scale is one of the things that I have struggled to get my head around. Usually when we are talking about scale in space we refer to Jupiter, not the whole solar system! One thing I don't understand is; if not even light can escape beyond the event horizon, how do Black Holes emit radiation from their poles?
  4. The image, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope, will show the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and will be shown in a press conference beginning at 9am ET (2pm BST) on April 10. The black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A, is 26,000 light years away from Earth and shrouded in dust and gas. Until now, our knowledge of it has been based on inferences rather than direct observation. Catch the live stream here:
  5. I'm with @jdmackay this is exactly what we did when we moved to O365. I just let everyone know that their old emails would appear within x days.
  6. Not a document but we had issues with spell check not working in IE until we installed the International version over the top, we now have the International version in our MDT after realising our mistake. There's no logic in using an OS image that is different to your locale, for the sake of clicking a dropdown.
  7. Could also be blocked in AppLocker if store apps are allowed.
  8. Standard folder redirection should do it: User Config> Policies> Windows Settings> Folder Redirection> Downloads Set it to Basic (Redirect all to same location) Then set your UNC Path e.g. \\\%username%$\Downloads
  9. I think from an education perspective this is something else Microsoft have messed up. For instance 1809 is supported until May 11th 2021, If we are talking re-imaging rather than in place updates you would still need to update in Summer 2020, exactly the same if you are running 1803 which is supported until November 10th 2020. So from a logistics perspective picking an 03 or an 09 release really doesn't make much difference, unless I'm missing something . https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet
  10. Worth a read if you have any Intel based hardware from the first gen "Core" processor onwards (which I suspect is almost everyone): https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/03/05/spoiler_intel_flaw/
  11. If it helps we made the jump from CC4 to Vanilla last summer. My team consists of myself and two others (one term time only) and all of us had only ever known RM networks through various versions down the years. We prepared by reading up on various elements we knew we were going to be using such as WSUS, MDT and obviously GPOs. We also decided to work with a partner to help us with the move; CSE Education CSE Education Systems | Technology for Education . This actually proved vital in the end as after the first day of the install I ended up in hospital and then was off for a couple of weeks afterwards, this meant that there was only one of my team onsite trying to get their head around everything. With the help of CSE we got through it, they were very good during the install, handover and they even managed to get someone on site (FOC) whilst I was off to help ease the pain and worry. I'm rambling a bit now but if me and my team can do it in the scenario we were faced with, then I would say you should be fine as long as everyone is on board with the idea. PM me if you need any more info.
  12. Item level targeting for the reg frag to not apply to the rds server should do it.
  13. I just have a folder for each Financial year with a spreadsheet with my budget totals, the spreadsheet has separate tabs for each budget. I create word docs named with the PO number and I simply reference this number along with supplier and amount on the Spreadsheet (if I need more detail I go back to the Word doc). I just get Finance to run a report against my budgets every so often to make sure everything tallies.
  14. Not exactly a freebie but Avantis had a DeLorean on their stand this year:
  15. 1. Secondary 2. 1,200 Users 3. 200MB on a 1GB (Virgin) + Backup (BT) 4. Virgin on Leased Line, Backup is FTTC. 5. For just the lines around £6,000
  16. Just to clear one thing up for @TheGirlInIT (@Matt_NetSupport correct me if I am wrong), we also use NetSupport DNA but it does fail in one area of your requirement. The DNA option stops concurrent logins, it does not currently provide the ability to specify the number. So you either have it on and allow one login or off allowing any number of logins, so it does not currently meet your brief. Unless there has been an update since the Summer I am unaware of, this was something I have asked for before and will be brining up again at BETT.
  17. Similar issue here but with 52 old 121 APs, over £5,500 for a one year renewal and nearly £12,000 for 3 years. As much as I like the system and how it works I simply can't justify the price. My main agenda for BETT this year is to get up to speed with the latest offerings from all the major providers.
  18. If you like photography and have transport, how about a day trip to the Peak District?
  19. My comment is for Ross; Bruce is indeed the man to get Wednesday out of the Championship, unfortunately it will be for League One not the Premiership.
  20. We are going off the norm this year and having Christmas dinner at a local Indian restaurant, so I'll either be having a Lamb Curry or a mixed meat Biryani.
  21. Not sure if it depends on the age of the Mailbox given you mentioned turning off Focused Inbox but have you checked the Clutter folder / settings?
  22. +1 with @noelmm we ran these a couple of weeks ago and for some reason several of the USB drives refused to accept the password. After what seemed like an eternity I finally convinced the invigilator that it must be the drives as the machines and accounts were identical to ones that were working, the only variable being the USB. They tried one of the spare ones they initially claimed not to have and it worked immediately. All in all a bit of a shambles really.
  23. FYI; I voted "Currently no intention to change" when you initially posted this but I am now under the "Removed within the last 12 months" category.
  24. In answer to my own question I have found this: https://www.netacad.com/web/uk/home/-/blogs/computing-for-schools-course/ Looks like it is possible to sign up as a school as long as you fill out the form in a specific way.
  25. Yes, that would be the problem with GNS, they want to simulate network traffic flow. In fairness I'm all for the idea if we can do it legally, its just that the way I have read the T&Cs suggests that sharing accounts is not allowed and using these credentials to activate Packet Tracer would effectively be doing just that.
