Very true, also has the network access account password changed? Do the task sequences still have a boot file specified? I would personally recheck all the previous steps. Check boot images/ os images are all on the distribution points. Make sure pxeboot files are deployed to a pxe enabled distribution point ( this is in the properties in 2012 and caught me out when I deleted the inbuilt pxe images) Make sure inknown computer support is enabled Make sure your collections are correct Delete all advertisements ( deployment? In 2012? ) Then Readvertise/deploy task sequence to the inknown and system collections of your choice. make sure the task sequence is available to media and pxeboot (not hidden) Never tested it but maybe this last option when selected allows you to boot in pxe but won't show the task sequence?

Are they the 2nd time the machines have been deployed? If so 1st time you probably had them advertised to unknown computers. Once they have been deployed to you then need advertise (deploy) to a collection that the machine is in.

Less than 19 inch go 4:3 20inch and up go with wide screen

Started our deployment of 134 pc's. We image machines before deploying to desk. A little bit more time consuming but allows us to test before we deploy them. And any issues with the image only effect a small number of people and can iron them out pretty quickly.

Also make sure you have more than 1 cpu core assigned to the vm

Utouch - anyone else have problems with their support

I guess not -
We're having a nightmare with our utouch screens, we have over 40 of them and are having issues with them honouring their warranties on faulty screens. They've had 1 unit for over 3 months for repair, Anyone else have utouch screens and having similar issues? Sadly we were early adopters of lcd panels with our new building and thankfully purchased them with 5 years warranty, just wish their support was worth it! Can't see us buying utouch again.

Has anyone done an IT Department customer Satisfaction Survey??
gaz350b replied to ccadit's topic in General Chat
When we do a survey we mirror the ofsted scoring system. Teachers seem to understand this! We also have a form linked in tickets when they are closed -
Anyone got a car dashboard camera? Considering buying one.

Looks like Smoothwall inspecting flash content and blocking it

I would go Ssd or hybrid any day for 1 gen difference. Have a look at some cpu benchmark tables. Compare what cpu you have now in staff laptops to the 4th/5th gens you are speccing. Will they notice the difference? Now compare hard drive performance on your old kit to the hard drive performance of the std hdd and hybrid hdd in the new kit. Will they really see benefit from. New standard hard drive compared to the hybrid where they see a massive gain.

Asana? We use it within our team for maintenance, tracking anything within the team that isn't a support ticket or anything that needs to be escalated and scheduled. Then use instagantt/asana for larger projects. Oh and Weekdone'to report what tasks have been completed with in the team each week using its asana intergration

I used to be good in January.... Last year my misses brought me an nespresso machine, we also have Costa on site at our school....10 metres away from my desk.... Really not helpful when you try to kick the habit.
-
And as I was about to reply to this thread my asana notifications just spammed me with my tasks for today. In tomorrow not looked at work since the 19th it's been great! Need to go in if anything to get bearings before Monday.

We do exactly that the installer is hidden inside adobes installer. Just right click and show contents. Have a dig and pull it out and deploy

be bold, suggest to remove all bells, works a treat. we also have no clocks in classrooms other than whats on the computer screens and our digital signage around school.

Prevent downloading exe files on your web filter. Except from white listed accounts or websites Have a mechanism for patching machines quickly which includes flash, Java and all web browsers. Remove all admin account use for day to day use. Have a seperate account for it admins which they only use to do admin tasks. Review your anti virus, make sure it's updating promptly on all machines.this should be you final line of defence. Review permissions on shares. Does everyone really need r/w to every folder? Edit: what the above said

Ours are pretty good. all sorts of distribution groups. all staff, academic (teaching only support staff tend to opt-in to this 1), Tutors7-11, SLT, Finance, cover, Letters only thing that annoys me is when they email it support (not a true Distribution group i suppose) and CC me or another member of the team......what they don't realise is that these emails also go to the Principal and our link SLT. So they also get to laugh at some of their requests with us!

Which I doubt with the amount of spray on the track at the time. I think this is one of those sod law moments where many things went wrong. Wet weather gettting worse by the minute Sutil crashed off behind bianci so he was the last person to come across the accident scene Drivers not slowing down enough for yellow flags JCB probably came on to recover far too quickly Safety car not deployed fast enough for sutil. None of the above caused the crash but they all probably contributed to it. We've seen all of the above happen at one time or another. But as Martin brundle said it could have been him in the same race, same conditions, same corner 20 years ago. He was lucky enough to have missed the jcb
-
So some of the discussions us f1 fans have had is that most think he was hit in the head by the jcb. Based on video and his injuries sustained is it safe to assume his head missed the jcb? As surely at that speed he would have been decapitated?

Similar tale for our balance checker, broke start of of July... I think they outsource the hardware support to a 3rd party. Guy brought multiple wrong units with him (version 2 I guess with a webcam in) but requires power brick and mounts onto a VESA , still on going now. We also had issues with the integration service talking to parent pay. This support ticket quickly got raised to developer level, after 1month an term fast approaching it took a call to their MD to get the guy who originally installed it to investigate the issues. Sadly as the issue fell into the new term it started to cause issues with payments and is still causing us a little grief which parent pay are now dragging their heals on!

We had to go really aggressive with our Guest network and have 30 minute lease times. smartphones are really bad for just connecting to any open wifi if its available. Our BYOD network has 1 hour and enough IP's so everyone can have 1 device, trouble is some people have 2.
