Watched it with my kids last night, they were amazed especially with the synchronised landing of the 2 rocket boosters. We now have a new wallpaper on the home computer

Hi guys, I am in the process of setting up Office 365 with LGfL and not having much luck with it & Atomwide. They have enabled their 365 offering and linked it to our uso account for students and staff. When we shared a new Word or Excel document, it shows uso accounts for all the different sites under LGfL, not just our school. I have asked Atomwide to only show our uso school accounts for staff and students but they have said this cannot be done. I have also asked for them to show students first and surname rather than their uso login (ie fbloggs006.312) as this wouldn’t mean anything to teaching staff, again they have said this cannot be done. If we register our own domain (ie school.com), could we then link all the staff and students email addresses as they are under [email protected]? I believe this isn’t possible in their offering of 365, i might be wrong. If we did register our own domain and move all the staff & students emails over to the new mail server (which I don’t want to do), LGfL would block this mail server. If anyone can point me in the right direction of how to configure 365 in school under LGfL it would be really appreciated. thanks

We have just started using MintClass and all the teachers/SLT are very impressed. We already use the Zinet connector to pull data from SIMS to our cloud VLE. This is were our problems have started. The 2 instances of the Zinet service on our SIMS server run at around 50% CPU usage each and causes the server to crash. We have to disable one of the services and toggle between them both at different times. I'm still waiting for a proper fix for this.

Guys, These details did work on LGfL for some time but have now been blocked. We now have to use a fake user account setup on Atomwide and then put the standard MS Exchange connections through Spiceworks. This seems to be the only way of getting this working now. Brendan

I couldn't get smtp to work and read email only from the shared mailbox, it would always try and read my full mailbox.

the only issue with this is when you change your mailbox password (every 60 days) you must remember to change it also in here for Spiceworks!

The Server line should be 'https://mail.lgflmail.org/exchange/[email protected] - Your shared mailbox full address

Here goes, you need to setup a shared mailbox on the back of your own lgflmail mailbox on Atomwides system. Call it ICTTech or whatever you would like. Once that is done, get the full mailbox address, it's usually in the format of [email protected], this is also on the Atomwide system. Then setup Spiceworks email settings as below; Outgoing email - Exchange Server - https://mail.lgflmail.org/exchange/[email protected] - Your shared mailbox full address Username & password - Your standard username & password Incoming settings - POP Server - mail.lgflmail.org Port - 995 - SSL ticked Username - [email protected]\mailbox???? password - your password I can confirm it does work this way! let me know how you get on, Brendan

ok, try the following

I have exactly the same problem, i have been discussing it with Atomwide and LGfL for ages and cannot get any simple advice. I believe i have found a workaround, its a bit long winded but does work. I will post up all the details soon.
