  1. Hello all, we have been slowly bringing our printing under control. but have done as much as we can without enforcing quota's. We are moving from safecom to papercut over the summer with a new printing fleet. We have increased the number of colour printers in our fleet with the aim of reducing queue's at the centre of our building where students have access to the only colour printer(other than the graphics rooms). How do you go about charging for colour printing (free mono printing) ? what levels of credit do you give and how do you manage heavy colour printing teams. small quota with top-up cards purchased by the team or do students just get a £XX budget and they have to make sure they can print within this? any advice greatly received as this is going to be a big change for the school as previously it was pretty much restricted by physical access to a machine!
  2. We just replaced our Mac suite for pc's, Adobe cs 5 master suite doesn't install so Adobe and their crazy pricing backed us in a corner. Cs5 does what we need it to do at the moment....
  3. Don't get me started on the mobile version..... there is no obvious button to press to pay for items........ its actually the description text.
  4. Really? You don't use parent pay on your own personal account, they've had an annoying auto play video every time you login!
  5. Same thoughts here, apparently they are holding less money in the new system.... My suspicion lies with they wanted to share code between their 2 payment platforms parent pay has taken on the same functionality as their sister site nimbl, which deals with pocket money on a bank card and mum and dad top up the 'my account' and transfer funds to the child accounts.
  6. Are there plans to bring the same functions to other mis's? (Cmis for example)
  7. Anyone know when/how new features that are being released to Office365 subs will be rolled out to Microsoft office professional plus 2016 users? I cant find any information as it all relates to Office 365 subs.
  8. do you not have separate user and admin accounts? your admin accounts shouldn't be in the same OU as your users you are applying policies to. As you are only using accounts with admin rights to do admin tasks and not day to day tasks like browsing the internet or checking email, you don't need to aply the SRP to your admin accounts. so you should therefore have no issues installing software on those accounts.
  9. try papercut? PaperCut for professionals - Track and recover printing costs and bill back to clients.
  10. I know teslacrypt follows shortcuts, so probably not going to help removing network drives.
  11. The encrypted files are not the infection. The infection is at a desktop or most likely a laptop. Pull the cable from the file server, go lockdown and get hunting. Change wireless settings or create a new wifi network for "clean" devices. Make sure you use READ ONLY media for your security tool kit don't risk spreading via a sub stick
  12. Shadow copies are deleted server side I can confirm this
  13. As you can't sysprep upgraded machines we'll all be creating new images from scratch every year. I see this as a good thing as it should improve reliability as performance of an image always decreases with more and more updates. Selecting ltsb or education versions wint be a problem as Documenting/automating the process as much as possible will be key.
  14. In the new admin panel preview there is a report that does this. Tells you what type of devices Mac PC iOS android but not names of devices
  15. 40 mins lunch here with 60 minute "Lunch" period. KS3 go to tutorial at the start for 20 mins and KS4 have 20 mins at the end. There is a 20 minute overlap in the middle where we have 900 students at lunch, its not too bad as KS3 essentially join the queue as the queue disappears. The key to a short lunch is a 100% cashless system with some grab and go areas away from the normal canteen area.
  16. Just had a quote for 8 of these under £1600 from Misco although that was just for screen, bracket and soundbar.
  17. haha we have a very reverbie room just to be really unhelpful its the Music room. teaching is horrible as you can hear your own voice.
  18. laws don't stop people from doing all kinds of stuff.... So why would a policy stop someone from taking inappropriate images wether it be on a personal or school device. Move it off the device and delete.... Most people wouldn't even notice. Might aswell ban all cameras.
  19. we store ID card numbers in each AD users office field (currently safecom) we are looking to move to papercut, anyone know if papercut can look at an AD field to import their card numbers? edit: silly me simple google search found this http://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/ImportingCardNumbers
  20. If you have office 365 then officemix gives a nice integrated solution and once your done you can upload to officemix.com
  21. glad its not just me, we had fixed a sync issue and started recieving these after fixing the issue!
  22. yup...
  23. Top of the staff and student shared areas have a folder called 1.applications in there have your folders and all your shortcuts. create a shortcut in the startmenu as a Tile... maybe this will work?
  24. Hit with it here I've found you have about 5 seconds to login.
  25. the micros they left alone, it was the screens! they rotate through 90 degrees!
