Just started at a new company and their acceptable use policy 'acceptance' screen appears after you press ctrl+alt+del and once you agree you are confronted by the username and password prompt. Now my issue is this. Someone can log on to the network WITHOUT prior agreement to the policy as someone could have booted up the PC accepted the policy and then decided not to log on. The next user comes along and does not have top agree to the policy. My arguement is that the acceptance of the policy sghould come in once the user has logged on. Failure would log them off. The current setup ASSUMES the logged on user has accepted the policy. What do people think?

But REALLY what is the issue? I know people will come out with the old 'confidence' thing but come on! It works both ways, if a child was in a lower ability set they may have the opinion of 'hey, I'm going to get myself out of this'! I was in the 'remidial' class at school and probably the 'thickie' sets but does it really matter, no! This report therefore indicates that 6 out of 7 are NOT streamlined/SET! In this day and age we need to establish the can and cant's to be able to do something REAL about it. Not integrate them all and make do!

Henckels, I have the five star version. You can pick them up for around £140. You can't go wrong with them

In a nutshell, streamlining Information systems. Creating a digital information architecture, basically a new digital library. New ways of working with data, should be really interesting. Doesn't sound good, but the project should be IMMENSE! As with all systems, data is key and this project is to catalogue/control the flow of data from every micro piece of information so it's readily available. I bet you are non the wiser, neither am I, ha ha

Thanks guys (and witch)! I'm going to be a Senior Information Systems Analyst with the MOD

Leaving Education at the end of the month and going back into the private sector. No more Single status, reduced salary No more TEACHERS!!!!!!!!!!! Back to a world of professional people WHEHEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wave:

Simple solution....get your other half to switch the light on and operate the remote whilst keeping your eyes closed with a pillow over your head. Oh and make sure the film is paused, ha ha!

ha ha ha I use that ALL the time

That's teacher's for you! And they wonder why they get a hard time from the kids!

Bear with me! I know it's not a support answer, but I use it almost every phonecall, ha ha

I'll second ipsCA, very good and FREE!

Because it looks like a ford keyfob! The only way to get it started maybe?

That's exactly what I have been talking about. It's silly to have a group of schools in close proximity all doing 80%+ the same thing when it could be centralised with fewer overheads. Why have 12 individual data centres when 1 will do?

I'd use it to pay for my superinjunctions that would be racking up as I selfishly spent my millions on 'ladies of the night'! ha ha

I used to work for a local authority and the sharing of ICT worked amazingly well. 4 District and Borough Council's ICT departments merged to form one ICT unit. There was one Director, one ICT Network Manager, one Project manager etc etc. All the councils had different flavours, i.e vanilla, novell, Linux etc. But with correct planning and implementation, training, budgetary control, it worked fantastically. One centralised call centre was implemented. The knowledge sharing was fantastic. They realised that there was so much duplication with all the councils (both resources and personell) it was a no brainer. Each council adopted the best practice from the other councils, some systems were lost in favour of better ones, but all in all, it was great. No autonomy or control was really lost. No one council took precedence, all the councils, no matter how big or small they were, were treat as an equal, with an equal voice. On this basis, I don't see how this could not work in schools. I know everyone (including me) is protective of their network and resources, but the reality is, I think the current environment will change. How I don't know, but I bet it's not far off my example.
