We're having the same issue with Smart Ink at the moment too! How easy is it to deploy the updated Smart Ink over GPO? Or would it be better just to update it manually on affected machines?

We did get a SIMS permissions spreadsheet from our LA SIMS Team which was good for defining everything, but still rather daunting as there were loads of options to choose from! I may look at going down the System Manager route which would make things a lot easier. Its just convincing the head/bursar that this is a logical move. When you think of it we're all exposed to sensitive data on children and staff on the systems we manage anyway so realistically it shouldn't be an issue! Has definitely given me something to think about! Thanks for the advice! ;-)

Our bursar currently administers SIMS for everyone, so for me I would mainly need access to staff and student data to export into services we sign up to for account creation and to help the office update our child photos in SIMS when we receive them from the photographer. Just little admin bits like that, nothing too major!

Thanks for the suggestion! Will take a look!

Hi all, Our school office are going to set me up as a user in SIMS and have asked me what permissions I require. As an IT Technician what roles should I be set up with? We didn't have a technician previously so have never done this before. Any assistance greatly appreciated! Richard

Hi guys, The roller sleeve in the fixing unit for our Canon printer has perished and is transferring defects onto printouts as a result. I have tried searching for a new fixing unit with very limited success and the ones I have found are way too expensive given the age of the printer! Does anyone know if the roller comes as separate part or are there any suppliers out there who can quote for a new fixing unit? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Richard
