Got one yesterday. Looks like Monopoly money and feels very plastic. But i do like it.

Had a similar issue when testing win 10. Found that it does not like longer usb cables on the lenova laptops I tried. The toshiba ones were fine with longer usb cables. Not tried the new version of 10.

Had this issue with smoothwall blocking windows update via a proxy. Might be worth looking at if your running anything like that. Think in the end i used a proxy with no restrictions until the LA had solved the problem.

Could it be a bios problem. Try putting it in legacy bios mode incase it is trying to use the registered software bit that locks the bios to the operating system. Might help.

Just out of intrest what software are you using @dhicks for making dvd's ? I find after filming in 4k i loose all the quality when editing and burning to dvd.

I have a gopro 4 in school. Just remember you will need an external mic as the one in the case is muffled when filming school plays ect. The quality is great and the fish eye gets the full hall width in so that is useful. Teachers find it difficult to use as they want point and click ( as usual ). To be honest it is over kill and it cuts into 20 min segments also. Any more questions let me know.

Have a look at the synology ones. Always wanted one but have suffered the torment and slowness of a buffalo for 4 years. Everyone that has a synology says the built in operating system is the best. Ebuyer have a 2 disk one at £130 at the moment and I am tempted. Model is ds215j. It has loads of extras built in and the price is falling. Just go to add some hard drives and away you go.

I started 3 years ago in a small primary and it has been the most rewarding job ever. True you have to be versatile and help with stuff outside your job description. As the others have said prioritise your day. Get in a routine and just explain to staff that some IT jobs are a must to do or the network will not work well. They will understand and you will fit into place. I do loads more than the tech before me but they do appreciate it and you find that out at christmas. My advice is just settle in find your place and let the dust from the start of a new school year settle. And most importantly joy.

@Meldrew said about the server sql running. Check that its running / active, think its the tcpip because that is off as standard when you migrate the database.

Not sure but first thing is to disconect the infected machine. Good luck. Takes some work to recover from it even with a good backup system.

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone else had an after school kids club that charge for child care and if so what accounts package / invoice system do you use ? ours are just using a spread sheet but it seems a very long way of do it. I wanted to make it easier and more efficient and secure. Many thanks ZeroNeg

Is there any load sharing settings in your AP's. Sometimes that helps.

Have a look at one of these http://m.ebuyer.com/?action=searchresults&q=Sandisk&cat=458#/451441 Has encryption software on stick and works ok from what i have used. Price is good also.

Depended on the job. But go to high and no one can afford you. Start lower and when your name gets know slowly push it up. Make sure they are aware of your houly rate at start. You will find they keep looking at the clock and trying to hurrie you along.

Yes for some jobs. But getting someone to sign before you do anything is very hard. They dont trust you after you get them to sign a disclamer. Thats why i tried not to use one but some customers need one as they will try anything to not pay. Mostly they pay and it ok.
