Hey everyone, so during lockdown I got a bit bored and wanted a project. I started writing boozy ramblings about hangovers, drinks I hate, spirits I love and even the collososly mental cocktails from only fools and horses. I’ve put them in a blog so please humour me and read the first one about hidden bars.. if you don’t like it I won’t pester you to read the next. Each one comes with a video of me waffling and showing how to make a cocktail related to the subject. This week.... The Old Fashioned. Check out the what’s on the shelf section for more info on what’s to come next. Thanks x Instagram @enthusiasticboozer https://www.enthusiasticboozer.co.uk/blog

Hi Guys I am just trying to change the default project location for visual studio as a standard when a student creates something new. Currently this is set locally when I ideally want it as their network area. Course they could change it manually but as i'm sure you're all only too aware some students just click save and it goes where it goes Thanks Craig

Hi, was this all Legit in the end? I'm just looking at our archiving which is now with Vipre who took over. Got them asking me about past costs, when our contract ends etc like they haven't been passed any information at all

Hi all The renewal for our current web filter is coming up (Lightspeed) and while I like it we have had some client issues and are looking at alternatives. Has anyone got a review of netsweeper for me? My main concern with it is you cannot filter by OU or Room, which we really need as we are a 6th form college and art etc need access to certain sites some of the time, pinterest etc... but only in those rooms Any reccomendations or advice would be greately recieved. Thank you Craig

Hi In our college we currently use Outlooks public folder for room bookings etc and are looking to move away from them whilst still wanting to have control over permissions etc. We would ideally like to use AD groups for permissions and be able to pull across our Corero room calendars at the start of the year although I appreciate this may not be possible without a bespoke system. Does anyone use anything for this kind of thing that they would recommend? I assume college will be willing to spend money but given the current climate this might not be a huge amount Any help would be great Thanks

Thanks very much I will try editing that for what I need. Much appreciated

That's just what im after ideally. Not got a copy of said script handy have you? Not a problem if not

Yeah I get that. I am trying to make it as easy as possible for staff to do this though which is with an invite and a simple one click for them. The harder we make it the more problems it will cause me down the line

This will either be a really easy one or totally impossible I think but going to ask it anyway. I have a calendar group within outlook that I want to share with multiple users, I can send an invite to each individual calendar no problem but not the group. Is it possible to do this? I don't really want to spam people with 20 different calendar requests Thanks Craig

This all worked perfectly thanks guys

Fusemail Archiving. Saves space and takes pst corruptions out of the equation, really quick and easy to access all historic email

That time of year again time for mock exams! Has anyone managed to disable spellcheck for a single exam user yet in Word 2016 please? Our previous system for Word 2010 will no longer work.

We've got exams coming up and used to be able to do this fine using a small CMD prompt led program. But since we installed office 2016 this no longer has the desired effect. Does anyone do this and if so what is your solution? Help as always much appreciated

Got this sorted now thanks people, If anyone needs similar here is the script I have used Import-Module Activedirectory$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"Import-Csv c:\remove\groups.csv | ForEach { $groupMembers = Get-ADGroupMember $_.Group #$groupMembers Remove-ADGroupMember $_.Group -Members $groupMembers -Confirm:$false}$ErrorActionPreference = "Continue"

Hi I am basically looking to clear all our distribution groups and re populate them with different students. Assuming the best way to do this would be with a CSV and Powershell script but my Powershell isn't massively great. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? it would be much appreciated. I already have a script and CSV to re populate but removing the old users is proving a challenge Thanks Craig

Thanks for that, didn't directly fix my problem but definately pointed me in the right direction point 3. All sorted now and 2,000 happier staff and students

Looking for some help I have set up message moderation on one of our distribution lists in exchange 2010. Now when that list gets emailed the moderator recieves a pleaset accept or reject message. Now heres the problem. When they accept the message that email is not forwarded on to the distribution group, now im sure this was working before and I cant recall any changes. Anybody got any ideas? would be much appreciated Thanks

Im still struggling to find that report. The link just takes me to a dashboard page

Hi This may be something I am just missing but does anyone know if it is possible to find out how many of our 2,000 plus students that have access to download office 365 have actually gone ahead and done so? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can access the number of one drive space used via one of the reports easily enough but cant locate this Thanks Craig

Hi Does anyone have an up to date BYOD policy that they would be willing to share at all? I just need a starting point really as we need to put one in place within college Thanks for any help

When I try to do this I get the message, "Quota information cannot be added. There is already a quota entry for this User"

Hi Any help appreciated with this one I am looking to edit on mass the storage area of our Art students within college from 150mb to 2gb. Now these students already have quotas and I was hoping to do it using a CSV and Powershell script if at all possible but am open to any ideas? I think in the past they have been done individually but theres no chance im going through changing 300 students. Cant really find an easy way to do it any ideas Thanks

Hi Dave Yeah thanks for that, we do actually already use resource manager but for some reason was trying to over complicate the issue I was having when actually its dead simple. Thanks though
