    We use Paxton Net2 here, alll be it with Biometric door readers instead. Very impressed with the software and it's pretty easy to setup.

    Yes that is correct. MS added the correct key to VLSC whilst on the phone.
  3. neilault
    Awesome. Just rang them up and they will sort within 5 minutes. Thanks for that.

    I think that's the problem then. Checked VLSC and I don't have any "Server with Windows 10" KMS key listed. Going to have to contact MS I think. Anyone know the UK number for Microsoft volume licensing?
  5. neilault
    Was this an extra key on your VLSC? Because I'm thinking it is a mismatch between the KMS keys I'm using.

    We hit that limit ages ago with all our Windows 7 and 8 machines. Add a new one of those to the network and they activate straight away. Didn't think it was a 25 PC limit per OS?

    We are using the Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacentre KMS key that is located on the VLSC site under: View Relationship Summary Click on current active agreement number Click on Product Keys It should then be listed under there.

    Anyone having any issues with KMS activation of Windows 10? I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 setup with KMS that is happily servicing Windows 7, 8 and Office KMS activations currently. I read somewhere that in order to activate Windows 10 you need to make sure update KB3058168 is installed on the KMS host server, which it is! However when ever I run cscript slmg.vbs /ato on any Windows 10 Education PC is comes up with the following: Error: 0xC004F074 The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Log for additional information. Which is weird as the Windows 7 and 8 PC's activate fine! On the KMS host I get this in the KMS log: An activation request has been processed. Info: 0xC004F042,25,WIN10-TEST.coombeshead.com,bc69bd8b-4053-4e03-b0fd-6668ffe66b78,2015/08/10 12:05,0,5,0,e0c42288-980c-4788-a014-c080d2e1926e Any ideas? Cheers... Neil

    Does anyone have any experience with URL Rewrite on IIS 8.5? I am attempting to redirect any requests to Frog onto Frog and not really having any real success. The rewrite rule I currently have is: However all it seems to do is set the address to http://www.coombeshead.com/vle.coombeshead.com

    Yes we are running smart notebook with smart ink, so I shall try and turn that off and see if it makes a difference. Didn't think about that and we have only recently upgrade to the smart ink version as well! Compatibility mode has been turned off so I don't think it's that but I will double check again.

    Having a weird issue and hoping someone can help! Staff are using domain joined Windows 7 devices with Internet Explorer 11. They visit our Outlook Web App page running on our Exchange 2013 Server and whilst they can enter their username without any issue they cannot enter their password. Clicking or tabbing into the password field doesn't seem to matter. Nothing can be entered! Anyone experienced this before or have any suggestions?

    Sorry for the delay, been a busy few weeks! Well I tried that and it seems to work a treat. Have given staff full access to Pinterest (at the request of SLT). Setup a free business account for the school to control the boards and assign permissions to the staff. Then allowed students to only visit the school pages. Seems to have kept everyone happy!

    Currently we have a full filter block on Pinterest within our school but we have recently been asked by the Art department (via SLT) to see if we can lift this. Having done a little research it seems whilst Pinterest does have a policy for acceptable pins and does moderate to some extent they allow certain types of nudity for "artistic" reasons. One of the common complaints seems to be what is artistic nudity and how far can people go with it? Other comments suggest that pins are not moderated until a complaint has been made about the pin and therefore inappropriate images can still get on there anyway. On top of all this they have policy of nobody under the age of 13 is allowed to use the site meaning we would have to change our filter policies to be based upon age. Therefore I was wondering if you block or allow Pintrest within your schools?

    Yes we got 20 of the Epson EB-475WI projectors in the end. We currently have only installed one of them as the new build is still in progress. They seem to be happy with it and they are very smart and bright. Unfortunately the Smart projectors are the only ones that can do touch. As far as I can tell from our Epson rep this isn't going to change anytime soon. You get two pens with each projectors and replacements are about £35 I believe. We became part of the Epson Hub agreement as we purchased a few projectors which means we keep spare bulbs, pens etc in stock and then only get charged when we take one. I shall be spending my time at BETT looking at tablets no doubt! Neil

    During the demo they were pretty impressed with the software however they have not been able to completely use them yet as they haven't moved into the new build currently. They are happy to modify the resources they have to work with the Epson software. If there are any real problems we can still purchase a separate license for the Smart software to use on the Epsons and we will still have saved money compared to the LightRaise projectors.
