    Dell = :(

    Installed two new Dell rack servers at the beginning of the summer break, both of matching specification each running x4 1TB SATA disks. Second day of the install resulted in one of the disks failing, which I shrugged off and got Dell to replace. Tootled into the site this morning, merely six weeks later, to find a different disk in the same rack displayiing a solid Amber light, thankfully managed to reset and it has seemingly rebuilt and now back online. To make matters worse the other server (it's twin) was also showing a disk issue, this was slightly more severe and concerningly mirrored the problem experienced with the other server on the second day of the install. Again Dell are replacing that disk, as well another disk in the same following vetting the log file then suggesting potentionallly another disk may also be displaying signs of failure... Pffffffft!!! Never experienced so many disk failures with new servers... Confidence not running high!
  2. Seems there's LOTS left out of Edge; https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3083635
  3. Typical Microsoft, one step forward equates to two steps back. Has anyone else tested Windows 10 Edge with Office 365 OneDrive? I'm possibly missing some here, so please correct me if I'm barking up the wrong tree... Seemingly the 'drag and drop' facility isn't available, also the method of using File Explorer to copy files is also greyed out.
  4. Have you checked event viewer? Might be worth setting up GPO for point and print restrictions... Easy enough to do The joys of reading on a tablet, sorry just spotted this has been said several times before.

  6. Seemingly getting a black screen with only a mouse cursor following adding a Broadcom NIC drive to the capture image. The black screen occurs following selecting the capture image selection and following the Windows splash screen. Has anyone seen this or fixed it?
  7. Scrub the above, it's seemingly doing it against any account I throw at it... The issue must be back at Apple.
  8. We have just set up a pool of Apple ID's for staff to use with individual school iPad's. We're experiencing an issue when 'Reviewing' the Apple ID in the iTunes store. We get the following message: for assistance contact itunes support at Choose your country or region - Apple Support Please don't tell me this is an address issue and that the address can only be registered a certain amount of times.

  10. Epson seem very reliable with a decent ANSI lumens.
  11. We happily promote both to our EDU and SME clients, whilst Office 365 ECP can take a bit of getting familiar with, I find it provides a greater sense of achievement. I like the new MDM features now being bundled into the O365 tenants. GAFE is simple and straight forward, far easier to set-up and live with, dare I say it almost child's play. I'd suggest you try both and make your own mind up. We took that imitative and tested both, created our own user help documents and got to grips with the platforms before offering to clients. It's horses for courses inni
  12. Thanks Steve, that did the trick (I think).
  13. I want to prevent a user for setting up a forwarding address
  14. I think you're right, which frankly is a poor show it can't be disabled. The users have all signed an AUP policy document stipulating not to forward, however sheer ignorance can often play a part... Hence it should be controlled by ECP. Unless of course it takes a while for the setting to propagate.
  15. Hahahaha at 'no you pillock' - yeah that's the one, I've actually just put something like that in place, however I'm also reading it may not apply for kiosk access.
  16. Does anyone have an idea of how I can disable users forwarding emails to a personal account? Looked all over the tenant and can't quite find what I'm looking for. Also a myriad of different sites with PS scripts - however struggling to find anything that will disable this feature.
  17. I've been tasked to look into cloud based widget software, as an alternative to the existing Boardmaker V6 software used in the school. Currently weighing up the differences between SymWriter Online and Boardmaker Online. Has anyone recommend a cloud based widget offering?
  18. Anyone else tinkered with this yet? Seems to do what it says on the tin, very neat and straight forward setup. We're happily promoting it, although we're covering our backs by insisting only school procured devices are enrolled.
  19. Indeed, there's where the pit crew come
  20. Horner's comments in one of the rags is the nail on the head for me... Bring back Brawn! IMO the LMP1 Hybrid's provide far, far better viewing... Webber must be laughing his socks off.

    Air con

    Can anyone recommend a decent(ish) mobile air con unit for a very small server room?
  22. I experienced an odd issue at a single domain controller site this morning. The DC (2012 R2) was showing as online, users could process logon credentials, however all clients processed the logon without presenting a failed logon attempt to end users. The network was recovered within minutes following a reboot of the DC. Event logs indicate that an error occurred during a write procedure to one of the DAS backup disks, circa 7pm the previous evening, however the backup routine completed without error. Also I find it hard to believe an external disk IO error would cause this fault. I wish now I had prolonged the restart of the server and perhaps focused upon a switch issue... However I would have thought a switch issue would have continued follow the server reboot. Thoughts?
  23. Evans at the height of TFI back in the day - perhaps. Evans based on the last offering of TFI - no. He's mellowed too much in later life and become nice... The British public don't really want nice, because if they did we'd all be American.
  24. Plus it's quiet
