How's it going? Has the performance improvement stuck? Should we all be getting onto Wonde?

This is what I love/hate about SIMS - when I have a problem with it, there's probably a thread about it on EduGeek from the dial-up era. In my particular case, the problem was my computer name was 16 characters, therefore the DNS record didn't match the NETBIOS name, which of course SOLUS3 uses because it is from the 90's at heart.

Hi, Not sure if (a) this sort of post is allowed and (b) if this is the right place to put it, so feel free to slap my wrists...but this is a sort of Hail Mary anyway: Is anyone getting rid of an Avaya IP Office phone system in the near future? We have one and are trying to hold off on replacing it until the DfE rebuild our school, but in the interim as handsets die we have nothing to replace them with. Currently looking for a reliable supplier of refurbished handsets, but it occurred to me if there are any schools that are replacing their systems and dumping the old hardware that might be a perfect solution.

That is disappointing! They are saying that the next update to the MDM will bring remote updating. So, for now, they're staying offline.

Well...I guess that answers that.

School bought a load of Clevertouch boards. More expensive than rival offerings, but I'm usually happy to pay extra for quality... As internet connected devices running Android, my assumption was that we would be able to enroll them into Intune. Nope. Clevertouch are keen to point out they have their own MDM - and it's free! Great! Let's try that. Device enrolled, let's check for the "Update Device" option. Nope. How do you keep your Clevertouch boards updated?

I love it when I search for something on here and find a thread that I could have started, word for word. Did you get anywhere with this?

First time using this software. We downloaded the tests (BMAT) last night. Just got a blank grey screen after clicking "OK" this morning. I'm guessing even if the test is download the client tries to "phone home" and this timed out and prevented the test from loading.

Evening all. It's Saturday night on a bank holiday weekend so I'm hoping I'm not the only one working. I've got to create a new SDS profile (thanks tot he cleanup process not working as expected). Anyone know if Salamandersoft SDS sync supports the 2.1 CSV format?

Yeah we've got the same problem. Using the new Edge. Works fine in Chrome, which is interesting. Our workaround is to either use Chrome or Sync OneDrive and add files via "Computer." Satchel:One wanted to say it was an Enterprise Apps permission problem in AAD. But, like I said, it works fine in Chrome.

Hi! Just wondering if Microsoft ever came up with a solution for you? Anything you can share here?

Thanks for this thread! Why don't we get notified about this sort of thing directly from Capita?

Hi Just wondering if you ever made a decision on this? I'm not looking for a similar product and would like to hear of your experience. Mark

I appreciate the suggestion bossman. I'm certainly considering the virtualisation option...although I've had limited experience with that whole area I am keen to get to grips with it. (I've been running trials using Hyper V Server.)

Well, RM have quoted me .....£4500 for the job! If all the engineer does is image from old to new I find that pretty insulting. Thanks for the advice here, since we absolutely do not have the budget to pay for RM, it looks like we'll be figuring it out ourselves.
