Do you use OneDrive in school? I managed to sign out after it had activated, but it didn't prevent me from having access - it also installed Teams and signed straight in. I didn't try too hard as I figured it was too do with the way all of the SSO is set up to make things more straightforward in school.

AFAIK it's the Office 365 (free) licence that allows the free installation of Office 365 onto a personal machine. That worked fine for pupils, but the issue that I didn't manage to solve was giving staff access to the O365 download without giving them access to school data that we have stored in O365 on their personal machines.

Are you setting the user name in the driver preferences? It's the next level in from "hold print". It defaults to custom, but I was told to set it to Windows. The user code is then in the "Detailed Settings" tab.

There's nothing official, but you can try your luck with this: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/sims-bulk-import/99098-sims-bulk-import-5.html#post1696218 A lot of people use it successfully, although I'm not sure of how it works with amending details that are already there. I think it was designed for adding new pupils.

Thanks. That gets me the last user for the local machine. The script I'm using outputs to a file and gives me a list of properties that the Domain Controller holds. Is there a way to generalise your script so that I get a list for each machine in AD and output the results to a file? IIRC it's not held on the server, but I'd love to be proved wrong. Part of the reason is to track down machines I haven't easily been able to find - also if the machine is off and I log on, the last user is always going to be me....

Hi I have an idea that this isn't possible without auditing turned on, but just in case... I'm running this script: PS C:\Users\Administrator> Import-Module ActiveDirectory Get-ADComputer -Filter * -Property * | Select-Object Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemVersion,ipv4Address,DistinguishedName,LastLogonDate, | Export-CSV "E:\Staff\Myusername\Documents\ADcomputerslist7.csv" -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8 [/Code] I'd like to add a variable to check who last logged on to each machine. I don't need a history - just want to chase down who last touched the machine! Any suggestions? Thanks

Just popping back to say I've got it working now too. I'm using it for the "contact us" form on our website. Used the "dynamic contents" feature to send an email with the contents back to the person submitting the form. Our form is really simple, so I just used the form contents like mail merge fields and wrote an email with the response fields in the text. Formatting is ok for those purposes.

It was one of those that for some reason I couldn't resist clicking on. I read the info on the link provided and tbh looks pretty clear:

The Windows 7 Pro edition was converted to a retail edition of Windows 10 as part of the free upgrade. The impact of that was that you lost "re-imaging" rights. You should be able to reinstall from the official media and the licence should be in the BIOS. If you get issues after that, you can call the MS activation line and they should fix it - what you can't do is deploy a generic image using something like MDT or SCCM. If you want to use one of the standard imaging methods, you'll need a volume license which gives you upgrade rights from retail versions - but that's not free. Edit: was offline - hopefully the method quoted by @Arthur should get you out of your fix.

Does it send you the contents of the form or just a notification that someone's completed it?

Presume you're after the contents of the response being emailed? I haven't managed that yet - the best I've got is to get an email notification of each response. Main reason for replying is to ensure I find out what the solution is when someone cleverer comes along [emoji3]

I spent ages (well, a day) playing around with Printer Driver Packager and failed, so I gave up in a huff. It's always seemed ridiculous that it wasn't built-in/easy. We received a new C5500 yesterday and I've noticed that in the management console there's what looks like a straightforward way to configure either Windows or LDAP authentication. I'll be giving it a go on Monday... Expecting trouble as all the drivers are currently configured manually per user per machine with passcodes and the hold print feature is being applied.

I've found the parafoils suit a beginner [emoji57]. If that one on Aldi works is a proper bargain - mine was about £65! 120cm sounds quite large - in a decent wind I reckon it might pull a child off their feet!

If it's just for one user, can you not just do it in the Exchange admin console? Or is that only a thing in Office 365?

House..

Won't it need to be something rigid? I would expect a roll down blind or similar to just wave around and bash against the iwb. Could you mount tracks to the wall and have a board that slides out of the way? Or put the iwb on a stand with wheels and have a standard whiteboard mounted on the back?

Although not GDPR related; I thought we went supposed to share UPN?

TBF, it's probably taken the OP about 3 minutes to come up with a solution. Clock starts: implement advanced Google Fu Clock at 90 seconds: give up on Google and call Edugeek! Sit back and wait. Leave it a day for all the arguments to pass and check for a working solution. It might have taken the collective ability of Edugeek years to acquire the knowledge to create a solution and hours to put it together, but the effort for the OP isn't huge and they're leveraging something the user doesn't have access to. Power to the geeks! If there were built-in solutions to all the things users want, far fewer of us would have a job!

The proper solution is on its way: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/use-group-policy#configure-team-site-libraries-to-sync-automatically Currently only for people on the insiders build, but they seem to have something that actually works. Still about 2 years behind Google though. On the plus side, once you have files on demand running it's reliable. Personally I'm not a fan of the Teams interface - there are advantages if your whole team is desk based - you can cut out a lot of emails - and if you use almost exclusively MS Office file formats. Support for anything else is dire - you can't even open PDFs to view. If you "open" files that aren't supported, they just download and you then have to find somewhere local to save them and then manually upload. Also every time you open it, it defaults to conversation view and it's an extra click to actually view the files. Our users generally open the Team once, click "open in SharePoint", then click "Sync", at which point OneDrive does its stuff and the files appear in Explorer (and context menus) and they open in the application associated with the file type. From the point that the SharePoint library is synched, the user experience is very similar to having a network share, however it's definitely not transparent, so it will need to be explained in detail. My preferred solution was to create a SharePoint webpage with a link to each of the libraries and set it as a homepage/startup page. Users can then easily go straight to the SharePoint library and for anything they want to synch, it's then a one off single click. You could potentially put links in the start menu if you want to avoid users even having to open a browser. The other thing I would say is that by making the experience as seamless as possible, you could miss out on some big benefits of cloud storage. File sharing is much more effective than either saving copies on a network share or emailing attachments and it users adopted the better practice because they saw the benefits for themselves. If you can identify benefits for users, they will be much more patient with the changes/inconveniences.
