Hi I'm not sure if this is in the right section but we have just setup a year group with office 365 for education accounts which has a one drive built in I was wondering if there was a way of having the one drive as a mapped drive within Windows 7, mainly just for ease of access for the students. If anyone has done this or knows how to do this any advice would be appreciated Thanks Dale

Yes the school provide laptops for the students in year 7 & 8 as a reward if they have been looking after there computers and keeping to the rules etc we allow it but any abuse of it and we turn it off again!

Hi all I'm having an issue with some of our student laptops, it was coming up that the units weren't activated so we sorted that by reactivating them using the "slmgr" commands in command prompt. But since reactivating the units the students are complaining that they cant change they're desktop backgrounds. Ive checked the GPO and nothing has changed since before the reactivation when they were aloud to right click on images and choose "set as background". The option is there for them to do it just doesn't apply. If anyone has any suggestions id appreciate it. thanks Dale

Hi All A member of staff came up to me today and mentioned that at a previous school they had a system that when the staff log on to a machine it flashes up with a message if there's any urgent news or notices and on the message is button that you can click and it takes you to a more in depth notice. In this instance the member of staff wants it for pastoral updates, i was wondering if anyone had a system like this or similar in place and could advise me on how to go about setting something like this up. Any Advice would be appreciated Dale

Hi all We are having a few issues with our iMacs running the latest version of mavericks. What happens is that when ever a domain account logs in an error comes up saying various different things can't access the the login keychain and prompts them for a password but the only password that works is the local admin account and not there password. Reading up it does seem that its quite a common issue with mavericks but all the fixes people have recommended don't seem to work. i have gone into the keychain library and deleted the folder as apple themselves suggest and that didn't work, I have tried deleteing the login key chain so as the user logs in it creates a new one that didn't work so finally i ran keychain first aid and that didn't do anything so now i am at a bit of a loss. If anyone has any suggestions i'd really appreciate it Many Thanks Dale

Hi guys Our network here is having major issues and is looking like we may need to start from scratch due to either a Dns or ad issue. We have started on the rebuild i have been given the task of trying to recover all the staff mailbox data. My issue is that i have tried to get into the management shell to try and use the mailbox export request, but as soon as i fire up exchange management shell i get the following error: Gyazo - 09bc219169b3da055e7f60eb025984b0.png So from here i tried to access the normal GUI management console and i get the following error: Gyazo - a658ed55965fe04da14b1a554039752c.png So In summary i'd like to get into some sort of management tool and export the users mailboxes to a .pst file. Any help would be greatly appreciated Dale

The previous tech team where i am placed laptops in each room but we have now put desktops in and for the most part the responce has beeen postive as the desktops are alot faster and they looka bit more profestional. SLT & Heads of dept get given a laptop that can be used how they want at work or home. the old laptops will be offered to staff for a small contribution.

Thanks for that it was really helpful, That was what i was thinking to be honest have something pull the files from the camera. I have quite a while to experiment and get something dialed in. Many thanks
