Im trying to work out as it stands how this will effect us so i can brief SLT as spring is not exactly far away. We have only recently allowed KS4 pupils access to Youtube in school - I am asuming this will need to now be removed? Pupil focused content on SM platforms will need to be stopped from Spring 2027 We have a few instagram profiles for departments to comunicate with pupils all these will need to close. Probably have to look to shift focus from our SM platforms to the school website as the main online communication channel for pupils.

In the process of ordering one and a cloud key now as a proof of concept.

We have had a lot of success with 10m active HDMI leads 4k30Hz (https://cpc.farnell.com/av-star/hhswa-10/4k-hdmi-lead-slim-aluminium-10m/dp/AV27759) TV to wall box then 2m HDMI cable then to a HDMI Splitter

The hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy One of my favorite films so thought i better read the book. Every time i read a passage of Ramius talking i imagine Sean Connery dodgy Russian accent

Seems to be fixed now

Yes, started yesterday. Something about migrating licences types.

Another one for applocker here.

We have used standard consumer tvs in most of our offices and a few classrooms. Never had issues with damage or faults - They are not "designed" for the environment but if you are happy with the risks they can be an cost effective option. Most of our classrooms have Interactive TVs

Image Resizer tool in Microsoft PowerToys - Right click menu option for it. Use it all the time in work and at home.

Refurb HP Elitebooks i recommend to anyone that asks me. Make sure its Intel 8th Gen or Ryzen 8GB ram 256SSD. Laptops direct. Used them to get my dad a refurb.

We are sticking with desktops in the classrooms. All teachers have laptops as well. Tried a laptop/Dock set up with one teacher and there were to many small issues for it to be manageable across the school. Admittedly it was a small test. Although we may look at it again for teachers. We are replacing all the office based staff desktops with laptops and docks and this is working quite well. We tend to buy refurbished kit so the cost is not too much of a problem.

I cant see any reason to split them up these days. If you had ssds and hard drives maybe you would put the host os on the hard drives so the vms have the faster storage. Possibly for some specific workload but in general one RAID 10 is fine for most workloads.

For local storage all drives in RAID 10. A partition for the host OS and a different partition for the Host Data (VMs) What advantage are you getting from having the Host OS on a different RAID array? If you have different Drive sizes or types then maybe?

Had the same problem yesterday with windows 11 deployment to "older laptops" Added the check to the task sequence and now working well.
