Drama are another one to check out. I guess because both Drama and PE film students for assessment and then that needs to be kept just long enough people forget its there.

What about SharePoint retention policies? Or even just looking at your largest SP sites and seeing what's taking up all the space and if you can get rid.

We use a mailmerge from a big timetable export either into the Avery 80X50r label sheets (for bulk jobs), or a single timetable sheet on a brother label printer with a 50mmX30m continuous roll (for singles or short runs). The brother brings the price per sticker down by about 60% but takes a bit longer as we have to import the created timetables into the software. It's worth noting that between class changes, wearing/weathering, and lost badges we're probably printing about 4 labels per student, per year.

Does the TV have bluetooth you might be able to use to connect the headphones wirelessly?

I get the bug. Office 365 apps version 2308 (Build 16731.20674 Click-to-run)

To be fair, I just come straight here. The support/status page is still saying they're investigating the issue: https://status.bromcomcloud.com/

There were post credits scenes?! (goes back to rewatch the final episode).

Aren't a lot of filtering solutions getting around the need for SSL by filtering at the end-point now. Although this means needing a client installed on the endpoint machine which brings a whole new set of potential issues. Also, why can't a separate firewall and web-filter use the same root certificate?

We're an early 90's build with a 20m(ish) driveway and managed to get fiber pulled in. It was apparently a bit of an awkward install. The ducting wasn't good enough for them to blow the fiber through, so they used the old phone cable to pull a pull cord through and pull the fiber and a replacement copper (if we ever needed it. Apparently there can be problems with the BT ducts collapsing if they've been built over. One of my friends had a much simpler looking install than us. But because they'd had a garage extension over the BT duct, ended up having to have the garden dug up to run fiber. At least that's what they were told.

But that conversation is using one of (I think they said) the 2 sophons on earth. If there's only two of them, they can't really be tying one up for a whole human lifetime. It's implied they used the nano-fiber tech to make the probe's sails. So I guess it's that she's using to make the filters (finer mesh means more filtering).

We'll schedule server reboots, maybe some contractor work on the disaggregated day. It seems silly not to take advantage of no-one being here if we've got things that need doing outside the school day. Recently we've been trying to clear out and tidy all our storage spaces. Regular Insets are normally on the first day(s) of term, so we're often finishing off holiday work, troubleshooting new installs that haven't survived being used "in anger", or doing the final office move that had to wait until the people were back in to decide where they were going to sit, ect. On the first September inset, we have to join in most of the training sessions and there's a free lunch.

You could try DM Systems https://www.dmsystem.co.uk/. They're south-west based (although I'm not sure if they're that far west).

We have SharePoint news for staff on the homepage, and virtually no-one reads it. I've found that if staff are historically used to everything being emailed to them, then they won't bother looking anywhere else unless you email them and tell them to (we make liberal use of SharePoint/Teams notify members about new news items function).

Non, technical, but we just attach loan keys and fobs to a roughly student-sized lump of neon-coloured Perspex. That tends to mean they show up pretty quick. For a technical solution, maybe look at pet trackers. There are some cheapish ones that don't require a subscription.

I'd really like to think so. I mean they have my account details as part of the ticket, so it's possible...

No need for 2 rules. Just create the forward rule with an exception for internal emails. Either "except with specific words in the sender's email address" or "except if the sender is from the specified address book" (and use the global address book)

But now how will I guess the admin login every time get a new doo-dad without having to read the manual? I've seen the device serial number being used as the password on venter-routers before. BT seem to have done random passwords for a while. On our Box router the admin/admin account is a pretty limited all I could do was change the SSID name. For anything else I had to get the proper admin account off tech support, which had a better (if still not great) password.

What are the devices going to be used for? We have a couple of trolleys of laptops (mostly HP Elitebooks from ICT-Direct) for people to do actual work/content creation, and a couple of sets of iPads which are just set up as general access internet browser/content readers.

I'm being a bit dense, but... The 2,000 external recipients in a 24 hour period is per account (not for the whole tenant), right? And what is a recipient? Does that mean I can send a million emails a day to the same email address and have it count as 1 "recipient"?

Just finished Channel 5's Coma. Old guy and his wife manage to accident themselves into taking out the local crime family. Does anyone know when/where Beacon 23 is going to be available in the UK?

If you've got the Windows 11 ADMX templates installed you should be able to enable GPO > User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot > Disable CoPilot This works for us.

We have wedges in each classroom to provide additional security if someone manages to bypass the room locks (they're a remnant of the "doors open for airflow" policy during covid, that's been incorporated into the lockdown policy). Bell wise, we've gone with a pre-recorded tanoy announcement. Anecdote time: Back when I was in school, the fire alarm and lesson change were physically different bells, but both just used physical chimes that had an almost identical ring and a lot of them were put right next to each other for easer installation. One time the "bell" started going off just before 3, so we all start packing up ready to go when the teacher says "wait, which bell is ringing?" we stop, listen and a bunch of us point to the fire alarm (although most of us don't know that's what it is). Teacher quickly bundles us all out.

It depends. We went through a period some years ago when 1 of our power phases would go, and because of the way the school was wired we'd loose power to half the classrooms and the network cabs serving the other half.

We used to have Winsent Messenger for sending emergency messages to staff desktops.

How does you knowing their number keep them safe? (surely the kids need a school number to ring if everything goes sideways) What about pet trackers like Pitpat https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BM4ZJLXZ/ ?
