  1. Oops, just saw the chromebook part, should have read properly, we also have this deployed to our chromebooks https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/noverlay/clhfmmanmdkmblpljegdibilonemohdo?hl=en-GB
  2. +1 for colorveil I deploy it through GPO files, as it is only a few files,
  3. I have had this issue, It was specifically with the HP Stream 11 G4 EE a BIOS update solved with, but what I have ended up doing is using a secondary network port on the WDS Server VM and point that one directly at the client VLAN. I know that is slightly messy, but would could do this for your VLANs to boot them up and image them.
  4. Where we do use HDMI (mostly we use Microsoft wireless display adapters) we use a brush plate to replace the front plate. Then we run the hdmi into the trunking/box, and then attach a HDMI Extender to pop out of the brush plate.
  5. At the moment I am migrating from it all in a Google sheet to Snipe-IT. Snipe-IT seems to work really well, all I would say is run it from an *nix server, as I made the mistake of setting it up through IIS, and that can be a pain, where for most Debian flavour of Linux (Ubuntu, mint etc) they have an install script which makes the process a lot easier.
  6. You need to take a backup first, once you have done that it should allow you to shrink the files. And it is the files you wish to shrink. Also you may want to change logging from full to simple is you are only ever planning on restoring the whole DB to a certain point in time. This is what I did with SIMS
  7. Thank you @TechMonkey this us actually just what I needed.
  8. I use this here, I did extract the GUIDS from SQL First, as to not make new ones http://www.edugeek.net/forums/enterprise-software/205256-sccm-deploying-solus-3-sims-net.html#post1753511
  9. I went from Meru wireless to Unifi 2 years ago, never looked back. I was running both next to one and other without a problem, as Windows NPS (RADIUS) server allows you to just do this with adding the APs as RADIUS Clients. Just configure your SSID and security settings the same. Free controller software that runs on Windows or Linux without hassle (except making sure you have the right Java version in windows). I have mostly the AP AC Pro from them, ceiling mounted, with two wall mounted. I have 5 of the In wall AP Pros, they are great and do POE Pass-through to phones where needed. And I have recently put in one HD access point, which I have been amazed with.
  10. Dear All, Found this little beauty when googling the other day. Our users are moved (by Salamander AD Sync) to their own OU when disabled on leaving, as it is very rare that you have to delete an entire Directory on the server for the whole year group, I found this script, which you can run before you delete the users, which will remove their home directories for you. Get-ADuser -filter 'enabled -eq $false' -properties Name, homedirectory -SearchBase 'OU=this,OU=needs,OU=to,OU=be,DC=changed,DC=for,DC=you' | ForEach-Object { Write-Host ("Removing homedir for:" +$_.Name + ",path:" + $_.homedirectory) Remove-Item -Path $_.homedirectory -Force -Recurse }
  11. Hello @atds99 and welcome to the forum. I have a master machine where I set file defaults and export an XML file which is set in Group Policy https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsinternals/2017/10/25/windows-10-how-to-configure-file-associations-for-it-pros/ You could also deploy the registry settings through group policy as well under Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry (can be done for either user or computer settings)
  12. Oops, I may have read your issue incorrectly sorry.
  13. Welcome @Gusto_r53 Sounds like they are all in the same network share, the staff and the students. Can you confirm that? When they navigate to where they see these folders, can they open the other folders that are not their own? I ask this, as if they cannot, it isn't really an issue, If they can, I believe that someone has set the navigate/read permission on the share to solve problems that you get with publisher and some other office apps, if the cannot navigate the root of the share and it has been inherited to the others. Here we have setup different shares for diffrent year groups, so our current year 7s are 2019folders$ year 8 2018folder$ etc etc staff are stafffolders$ The route share folder has read and execute permissions on that folder only, then the permission to write are on the sub folders for each user With it setup this way, the staff share has deny permission to students set up on it, which makes sure they can never access it. This is done in the NTFS permissions on the folders. Occasionally staff may get to the root share and see other staff members listed, but they cannot open the folders I hope this makes some sense to you, let me know if you need clarification, as this method, although would require some work and copying for you to do now (you can use robocopy for that) will stop this happening in the future
  14. We were a complete rebuild BSF, so you had a formula that set the amount of space you had for each thing. There is no big staff room, there are staff hubs in zones, which are for all staff in that community (house) to use.
  15. 100% laptops here, Admin staff have PCs, but everyone else, from the headteacher to TAs have laptops. Microsoft wireless display adapters solved loads of issues with broken cables. We also do not have a staff room, so none there.
  16. I think your first step is to turn on the verbose/detailed login messages, you will then see where it gets stuck in preparing windows hopefully
  17. Looks interesting, I've seen it live on stage conducted by Jeff Wayne, it was amazing
  18. We delegate access for the Student OU and the put BCX Password Changer on the staff machines. Change Password Tool I would highly recommend that
  19. Just a few? This woman needs an award for putting these kind things into words for everyone, especially at times where we forget they do really appreciate us.
  20. Are these both on in the same period or are they on a different times?
  21. Ah, this powershell script may point you in the right direction there https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/51413.active-directory-how-to-get-user-login-history-using-powershell.aspx
  22. I have a batch file for logon and one for logoff which has the following within it Logon echo logon %username% %computername% %date% %time% >> \\\LogonStats$\Computer\%computername%.log echo logon, %username%, %computername%, %date%, %time% >> \\\LogonStats$\userlog.csv echo logon %username% %computername% %date% %time% >> \\\LogonStats$\Username\%username%.log Logoff echo logoff %username% %computername% %date% %time% >> \\\LogonStats$\Computer\%computername%.log echo logoff, %username%, %computername%, %date%, %time% >> \\\LogonStats$\userlog.csv echo logoff %username% %computername% %date% %time% >> \\\LogonStats$\Username\%username%.log Does exactly what we need, although we have impero, we seem to be able to use this a lot quicker.
  23. We use PageOne, as we still use SIMS InTouch for Registers and Lateness (A battle not worth fighting) and that is the provider they use, so it all goes against the same provider,
