Heheh no doubt brother, no doubt!

Here are my skills.

@DalekSec @sparkeh @foofighterjim you have excelled yourselves today!

ha! Proper giggles have ensued in the office! Glad to see I'm the howling mad one @DJ-1701!

ha ha! @X-13 that's amazing! I am immortalized as a meerkat thingy! Colima LOL!

Haha! I was literally going for a coffee not realising what Al was up to!

@VeryPC_Ross must have cheated somehow with his paper plane. It's the ONLY explanation.

So very chuffing cool.

HA! Loving the avatar bald_pig!

Hi @DanTheLacky, I'd also be delighted to help run you through this. We do the quote for the kit, Leasing company turns that into a leasing option with payments detailed (you can get pretty accurate costs immediately), Forms signed off and all costs agreed, Leasing company sends us the PO, We deliver the kit to you, You confirm that to the leasing company. Options exist at the end of a lease to continue renting, refresh with new kit or have the devices collected. Over the summer the costs were very low despite Brexit and over a 3 year period tended to work out 5-8% cheaper than buying outright (but you give the kit back at the end so no resale value for you). Leasing this way is a great way of freeing up capital expense, planning for refreshes, keeping kit up-to-date and moving your ICT budget for this into an Operating expense borne by the organisation. Happy to help, PM me if needed. Best, Col

Many Happy Returns @witch :party:

29 in our office at the moment. Eco buildings are great at cooking you alive.

Aww thanks @MichelleC! Yep, be happy to help you @Tricky_Dicky. Best, Col

Happeeee birthdayyyyy!! 😃

SSD @robjduk for definite. And..... we can make the NUCs look very pretty and would be happy to give you an alternative to Stone

Hi James, the answer is yes. It's the same as Pro but renamed for the Education market as a separate SKU by Microsoft

You are a tech Goddess.

How's it going @Joanne? I know @hallb15 had to go around the houses a few times but got there in the end and didn't want to give it back.

How about us UK system builders @DavePa? We may not be as cheap as the Tier 1s but we're definitely consistent and competitive. In fact, demand is growing.

Nice set up! And using multiple graphics cards with direct connection is the best way of delivering the maximum performance to each client. Top job and I hope the powered hubs work

It sounds plausible, and would explain the intermittent nature of the fault. Are the Dell monitors 'proper' Multipoint server zero clients with USB and audio jacks? If so perhaps have a chat with their support? I would have suggested a remapping of the connected devices and updating of the drivers on the host but it seems you've tried that. I think the issue could lie at the device side pal if your host server is all configured correctly. I've seen audio issues in the past caused by distance from the host too. If you're using a direct to host server set up (ie all monitors are directly connected to the PC graphics card) You could do a test by replacing the Dells with some old monitors whack some USB hubs for the KB/M, plus a USB sound card to attach the headsets and test it that way? In fact what's your set up like? PC with multiple graphics cards or PC with PCIe connection cards to zero clients or PC to clients over the LAN? I've never know it done with a monitor that has USB ports before :-)

Hi. Are you using powered USB Hubs with Audio or dedicated Multipoint server devices? I've seen this happen where non-powered USB hubs are being used in addition to a USB sound card attached to the hub to offer up the headphones.

I'll walk.. Or my wife will shout at me again.

I'm teamross. No chance you fit through that gap! The megane has a very wide bottom tho.

Tramcolin lol! You've got to keep going through the mini road that becomes a path with the black railings either side, and then at the end where it goes into a type of T Junction, check the right hand side railings. Got to have some cayenne orange smeared on it at least. I didn't dare look too hard...
