  1. Our resources department bought a dedicated machine with 8 drives, put the source in the top one and 7 blanks in the bottom, press a button and off it goes. Cant remember what its called or who we got it from off the top of my head but can look up tomorrow if interesred.
  2. Would also be interesred in this, looked at app inventor in the past but it seemed too basic, havent looked at it since MIT took over it
  3. I use Windows media center coupled with Media Browser and Media center Master. Requires a bit of setting up but looks good with covers, backdrops, and all the metadata you could ever want
  4. Sky go app Sky player for windows media center Hdmi over cat5 Seen all of these work well
  5. The drones would get the unions in and go on strike over dangerous working conditions
  6. Had nothing but issues with v7. 6.2 was fine but in 7 inventory browsing is very very painfull
  7. Wss in vestigating this in the summer found it might possibly be an issue with using the windows HD audio driver vs the manufacturers drivers but sticking an audio lead in fixed it, which is most inconveinent sometimes
  8. You want to monitor what kids are saying on social media, using their own devices, at home? I think you might find some opposition to that.
  9. We have used PRM Green Tech a few times Really effeciant although sometimes have turned up with not enough vans for the load even though we told them how much there is, bur they came back again and took the rest. They have taken everything we've wanted for free and even given a few free mugs!
  10. Obvious questions like are your boot images deployed to the distribution point? Do you have options 66 and 67 set in dhcp, are they still pointing at your 2007 server? Have you enabled unknown computer support on the dustribution point under the pxe tab?
  11. Yeah that works Thanks!
  12. Installed today, looks great and works well. One suggestion I do have, we have quite a long list of printers so when installing a toner, we have to scroll back to the top after clicking on a printer lower in the list so would it be possible to either automatically jump back to the top of the page or have the available toners appear next to the printer you have selected.
  13. What do I do at the lights, Use common sense, Something some other road users seem to have miss-placed
  14. Seen this on many a pc but swsppung the mobo out usually sorts it. In the mean time could you get an emergency power kill button fitted to the ring main of the room in question like in science and tech labs, knock it off at the end of the day and back on in the morning. That way at least you wouldnt have to knock off each individual psu on the machines
  15. The wireless controller provides a captive portal which can be set up to authenticate to AD. You can also limit communication to other devices on the same subnet so users can only outwards towards the internet
  16. We dont currently use authenticatiin on it, users authenticate against AD when joining the wireless on BYOD devices, if thats what you mean
  17. But you have a backup if course so its only an inconvineance IF it fails, not a disaster. You should get a 3 or 5 year warranty on the drive just like traditional HDD so I dont really see an issue
  18. We ended up subscribibg to our ISP's transparent proxy. Solved a lot of issues
  19. With an SSD you should only get "works or doesnt work"
  20. Have you had a look at the application and system logs on the client machine, might be some clues there logged by the user profile service
  21. Did you open up a mmc window and add the group policy management snap in?
  22. Install all the software and drivers they had and use the programs they wrre using when it freezes
  23. That is f'ing cool
