  1. Hi Apologies if I've missed a thread that already has this covered. I've had a couple of phones in today and neither of them can connect to our exchange server using the standard Exchange mail app. A phone running any earlier version of 4.x works fine. Is this a known problem and if so, is there a work-round? Thanks for any advice Andrew
  2. We use Office 2010 as the site standard but we also have full installs of OpenOffice and LibreOffice on every PC in the school and fully support the file formats so that students who don't have M$ office at home aren't inconvenienced.

    Golf

    Social golfer playing off a 2 handicap, was playing off 1 about 10 years ago but not had the time recently to play that often. Play with my hacker mates in the summer evenings at various courses and for the school staff team (although I appear to play off 9 for the school....) To be honest glad I have given up the grind of membership and playing in all weathers as I have officially retired from playing from October half term to Easter other than a few driving range sessions to keep the swing going.
  4. It hasn't been updated for a while but Hirens Boot CD is a techies life saver at times and is one of the first things in my toolbox... Hiren's BootCD 15.2 - All in one Bootable CD » www.hiren.info Andrew
  5. Some photos from 1910 when we removed an old cupboard in the boardroom to run some cat5 cables (Not the oldest photos of the school however, there is a photo of one of the buildings dated back to 1890...)

  8. Morning all Windows 7 32bit with Office 2010 As it's nearly spring I thought I would look again at the default profile on our Windows 7 PC's ready for the new build over the summer. Everything is installed and good to go but I'm wondering if the following folders are ok to delete or will I bring impending digital doom to my users in September. The largest folders on my radar are as follows:- C:\Users\setup\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java various jdk & jre directories 322Mb C:\Users\setup\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth\unified_cache_leveldb_leveldb2 Lots of 2mb files - 80mb C:\Users\setup\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\extensions 92Mb C:\Users\setup\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages 92Mb C:\Users\setup\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org\3\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages 92Mb C:\Users\setup\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail 20Mb Anyone else deleted these and does anyone have any good reference documents as to what else can be removed to speed up the initial logins. Thanks as always Andrew
  9. Sat listening to this while trying to drown out a very loud library induction class running in the lab next door...
  10. I use this all the time for testing IWB's and sound systems but 10 hours is a bit much....!!!!
  11. Another that will be stuck in your head all weekend
  12. Simple twitter feed used here for any planned outages or unplanned problems, especially at the weekend so staff can just click on our multi-feed page and see if there are any issues before emailing me
  13. How To Add Live Web Pages to a PowerPoint Presentation We use it on all our display boards, can easily use it to display an atomic clock. The other one we use for exams is AutoDateTime but it's not free OfficeOne: AutoDateTime Andrew
  14. Apparently there is a Microsoft treasure hunt? Anyone know how to complete it, might make Saturday fun...
  15. Likewise
  16. In the SN zone and trying to head in your direction
  17. Any odd or unusual cable management running through buildings (useful if you are the only one who knew the cable to a classroom actually runs out the window, upstairs, along the landing and into a socket in a kitchen as I discovered when I started here) A list of hard to find wifi points A map of the fiber runs from building to building

  19. Perfect Thanks for your help Andrew
  20. Morning all. Does anyone know of a utility to quickly change the screen resolution for users? I want staff to have the option to change screen res without having the rights to right click on the desktop. I'm sure I had something similar in XP many years ago but my googlefu isn't finding anything useful. Cheers Andrew
  21. At Victoria Underground Station, take the Circle Line towards Hammersmith (H&C Line) Underground Station or District Line towards Upminster Underground Station or District Line towards Tower Hill Underground Station or District Line towards Plaistow Underground Station Change at Westminster Go down the escilators to the Jubilee line towards Stratford Underground Station or West Ham Underground Station Change a Canning Town Station Take Docklands Light Railway towards Beckton DLR Station Get off at Custom House (for ExCel) DLR Station (don't forget to swipe your Oyster card when you get off as easy to miss the sensors...)
  22. Is there a secret nod or handshake for those of us who visit the stand to get our lanyards but are too in awe of the admins to actually say anything?
  23. On a pure software basis I would recommend using Fastcopy FastCopy I use it to do all my server -> disk backups each night and nothing else I have tested comes close for speed. I agree with the others though, it will only be as fast as the slowest bit of your LAN you use to do the copy... Andrew
  24. Thanks to everyone for their feedback and ideas, much appreciated. I'm going to get in the Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 AirMax Wireless PTP Kit and have a play over half term. Andrew
  25. Usage: Either 10" Android devices running afreerdp connections back to the main site or Windows netbooks again with RDP. Very low level usage and certainly nothing data heavy, just the PE department looking to do live registers. Andrew
