Hi there I've managed to set up an exam user with office 365. I've locked it down. Everything is working fine. I've set a mandatory profile as well just to lock it down some more. The only problem now is that no matter what I try Office 365 is asking to sign in as this single user. This is not going to be workable with hundreds of exams starting at the same time. Does anyone know how I can get around the having to sign in bit with Office 365 please? I just can't see what I am going to do. Even if I sign in then make the profile mandatory Office 365 still asks the user to sign in at the start. If you cancel this you can't save the document as it says it's unlicensed. Any thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated Thanks

Hi there Does anyone know of a way please to stop the extra locations coming up in Word to save to? I'd like it just to give the option to save to a local file on the C: Drive. I'm worried if an exam user saves to the desktop they will lose their work on logging out. I have looked everywhere..... Thanks for your help.

Hi Can anyone recommend a good IT collection firm they have used that will take Smart Boards / tapes based in South London. There are so many out there..... Thanks

HiI've shared two Epson inket A3 printers via USB. Apparently Epson don't support this on macs. One printer stays online but the other one goes off. I moved the printer to another mac and the problem still occurs. The printer is staying online on the mac it is connected to but on the other macs it appears offline. When you remove and re-add it it stays online.The powers settings on each mac are the same. I've set them to not sleep. The drivers are the same version.I can't spot any difference between these macs as they all all imaged the same.Can anyone please suggest anything else to try? I can't send them back and they weren't cheap.Thanks.

We don't use either.

Hi there We have a certificate that keeps popping back after deletion in the system / library /keychains folder. I've also tried deleting it from keychain access. The certificate was part of the image...........but that shouldn't make a difference after it has been imaged. I can't see a script anywhere that would be installing it. Can anyone think of anything ? Thanks a lot

I am hearing from others you don't have to store it locally if you don't want free780. Of course keeping it local is easier but it also presents massive problems with classes not being able to sit anywhere (or someone sitting in your seat /mac with your final cut work on )

Hi everyone I was curious about using Final Cut and Logic over a network. Do people here do that ( stream files from a SAN ) - or do you copy them from your San to local storage? I am wondering how performance wise if people start editing videos how it copes ( of course it depends on what you are doing .e.g midi vs audio / big vs small video files ). Apple recommend not to run Logic off a network but people seem to be doing so. I expect if you have a high performance file server it's not an issue. I'd appreciate any advice from people doing this already ( and how do you back up your San? ) Thanks

It's hosting OD and we use AD for password login. Yes I know about WGM.......it's getting on now. Thing is it's simple.........but it does need to go. When you say as your server as VM on there - what do you mean by that? A virtual machine that runs on a server? Thanks that is useful advice you've just given. Mike

Hi there Our mac mini has been playing up a bit running server ( and workgroup manager ). I thought this morning it might be wise to have a backup server running on another. Can anyone suggest an easy way of just creating a kind of backup OD server and taking a copy of workgroup manager over to the new server? Thank you. Mike

Hi Has anyone patched their servers yet with spectre and noticed any degredation? Thanks

So Joanne, 'some are fine some are not' . Can you spot a pattern with it.............i.e which models of laptops or boards? I for one am so fed up of dashing up to a class to take out an HDMI lead and plug it back in. Ridiculous. The teachers also won't reboot in the middle of a lesson. They find that too disruptive - I can't say I blame them.

So Joanne - you are saying that with the PC (or laptop) going straight into the Clevertouch via HDMI you find it is stopping at various points in the day? That is interesting. Which do you use - PC's or laptops? Personally I decided to get rid of the HDMI splitters. For now I have fed the PC into the Clevertouch via HDMI and have made a copy of the video signal via VGA (in Display Properties in Windows) and run that into the computer monitor. I have had no calls about sound going off since I did this - it might do but for now it seems ok. I will report back if this issue still occurs....

Hi Joanne. I don't this is a Clevertouch issue - it's more to do with HDMI splitters - I assume this would happen with other HDMI gear....HDMI is a bi directional technology and somewhere along the line it's handshaking with the wrong device - I am assuming that.....

Thanks Cazale. So do you use HDMI with that or VGA? Do you go into the TV or the side bracket ?
