  1. You're not falling fowl of the "insecure apps" setting are you? I couldn't log in with Outlook for months, then I started digging and found a setting in Google to prevent unsecure apps connecting - Google never warns you why it didn't accept login, it just ignores it.
  2. If you can tell us more about your setup, folk may be able to help you. Peter
  3. You only asked a question, you didn't give any background to it.... :)
  4. Switched PCounter to Papercut 3 years ago with last copier lease. Just renewed it for 3 years on new lease. Mifare for everyone since last September - previously students used 12 digit PIN set by us. (PIN was loginnumber and DOB together, which sufficiently limited the number of attempted logins by friends) Peter
  5. Un-inflated?
  6. We do it, but with Papercut embedded.
  7. MSN via Trillian for years. Only just got WhatsApp last month as one of my drama groups has decided it's safer than Facebook in GDPR...
  8. Correct. That’s what I did, combined with reading the rules from the link I posted earlier, and the CDBS spreadsheet (same link) which is an almighty beast but contains for example the lookups for language, ethnicity, etc as they’re stored as WHBR, WHOT etc for White British, White Other etc. It changes each year; so far I’ve just changed v15 to v16 to v17 but there will become a point where a field changes that I need to update.
  9. ATF is Admissions Transfer File. It comes from LEA and imports to Pre-Admissions. Student records must not exist pre-import. I use LEA ATF as the input to my routines.
  10. This is the government CTF website: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/common-transfer-file I use custom ATF's to bring in our year 7 students, but I'm looking right now at doing the same as CTFs for Sixth Form external students (who join us in year 12 from other schools). Peter
  11. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/data-protection-information-handling/196129-electronic-document-storage-solutions.html That's my thread on the same lines last month.
  12. How does 2FA work with SSO such as ADFS? Our VLE has a button which links to drive.google.com/a/school.com which SSO's us in when logged on to PC in school. Are staff 2FA'd every day / every time they log on? Peter
  13. Our whole theatre is using these: VGA & Audio Over CAT 5 Extender Kit - PRO SIGNAL | CPC UK cat5 They also do 1:2 and 1:4 versions of the same, and I'm sure they'll have HDMI versions.
  14. Or iPhones with wifi internet access to "google it" - we had dialup compucover, but only on the one PC and only once we got into Windows!
  15. Took me and dad an hour to find the power button on our first family PC (Packard Bell), then the rest of the day to get from MS-DOS into Windows.
  16. I've been watching EWP since you launched it, and Exams officer now happy to try it. Of course, she couldn't possibly agree without asking "something"...! "Where is the box (on cover sheet) for invigilator or student to sign?" (It's my tech showed her, I've not seen it - but presumably one or the other isn't there?) Can there be an option for both?
  17. Eden Repair Centre, aka JustAskEden.co.uk They do all our tablets and phones. Walk in or send by post. 4-day turnaround usually.
  18. Sorry, Edugeek popped to the corner shop when I tried to reply. By the time it got back, you'd already had the replies.
  19. I do this for our guest student password, which is then emailed to a set of teachers every morning: $subjects = "Maths","Geography","History","Science","French","German","Spanish","English","Drama","Music" $subjectnum = Get-Random -Maximum 9 -minimum 0 $number = Get-Random -Maximum 999 -Minimum 111 $randomPasswordTxt = $subjects[$subjectnum] + $number $randomPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -string $randomPasswordTxt -AsPlainText -force Generates passwords like Maths519, English726, Music931...
  20. Hello. We've started to consider EDM solutions for helping with GDPR and SAR's in general but surprised not to find many/any threads on this here (recent). We're looking initially at mStore from Arena, as they brought it to my attention 3 years ago when we tendered copiers. Anyone using mStore or any alternatives? Peter
  21. We use ExamInvigilator in the main hall, but as Linfit says, countdown/countup is no longer allowed - this was removed from the recent versions of the app.
  22. I'm not generally "tired" at the end of work, but I'll usually have a nap on the sofa at teatime then be fully refreshed for the evening. If I don't, then I barely get through the evening depending what I'm doing.
  23. Drop me a pm tomorrow; I can’t remember what but I’ve done something with it.
  24. If you're not wanting to use the Consent area of a data record (which is only for tickboxes, ie consent/nonconsent) then you can create UDF User Defined Fields. Not sure if they can utilise a Lookup which would allow the three options to be chosen from the dropdown, but that's the area to look in.
