Yep, we use this to manage our estate. Provides great info on most recent users per device. It can also show utilisation by OU which is a great way of showing how much chromebooks are being used per department area. Also made it really easy to update the asset details for each device when enrolling.

Thanks guy! Got a supplier quoting on a C-Touch and waiting on ViewRight to get back to me. The C-Touch look too nice to be able to take a football

As the title says we are looking to procure a large armoured screen for our PE department. They want to use it in the sports hall and gym, therefore needs to be mobile. And as you know, students aren't always that delicate so it also needs to be able to take a good beating. Think we need one that is a minimum of 52". Can anyone make a recommendation? Thanks!"

In the past I have used Spiceworks which is very good. Recently we have moved to Zendesk though and staff find it much easier to use. I like the idea of having a service that will still work if the whole site is down... and we have aligned it to ITIL.

I've just done one, fantastically easy. Just get your storage set-up and follow the wizard. Also make sure you get your networking sorted. Live migration is a modern miracle!

What are your thoughts on the Google Chromebooks? They are now 229 to retail and can be leased. You get full flash and a real keyboard. I have one of the earlier generation chromebooks and can see how they would really suite education. There are some shortcomings, but not as many as using iPads etc.

Do not manually delete a roaming profile if it is for Windows 7 / 2008 R2 as this will cause a profile corruption. There are references in the registry that also need to be deleted. You can delete a profile on the client side in the Advanced System Settings area > User profiles. Hope that helps!

JDisk is a great tool for this, shows counts ages and groups by file type. The reports can be saved and shown to management!

Has anyone had issue with staff training when moving to Google Apps. And do you use google docs etc?

Thats a fantastic resource, thanks!

I loved this program but Im not sure if it is actively developed. Great simulator but quite high level.

What a great ideas! Might have to do do that with a patch panel...

I think this shows how little they understand, especially considering all of the studies that have taken place. Do they not understand we are constantly bombarded by natural electromagnetic fields, most from that big ball of fire in the sky?

We allows staff to access it, but disallow access to students. We have also developed an internal youtube like system that hosts videos that staff need to access. This seems to be the most flexible route, but can require some additional work!
