  1. We use HDMI for our screens and have the same issue. What we have done is install some EDID dongals to lower the refresh and res. amazon.co.uk
  2. !!!!!!!!!!!! PANIC STATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!! OH NO WHATS THIS PAPER THING YOU ARE ASKING ME TO FILL IN?
  3. I allready had Impero Client open on my PC this morning, I could see 4 PCs, thinking it was a bit odd, closed and re-opend and it was saying there was no licences left. looked at the server and it is asking to register! Due to our re-newel being tomorrow, I just thought it was that. When we tried to contact them yesterday, there was no repose from anyone??
  4. As long as the data is AD and you know how the conversion is done, they are able to do this. (thow I know they do have an issue with the latest version of Paxton(v7) software, but i belive there is a fix in the pipeline)
  5. I know this is not the area you are looking at, but do you have SalamanderSoft? if so, they can do this for you.
  6. We use LGfL for out internet, that comes with a backup line, but we also have BT line that we use as a final backup, for this line we use basic Cloudflare family DNS and restriced it down to staff only use (but we are able to allow students if outage is going to be a long time). In all the years we have been with LGfL I think we have only used it once in anger, but do use it more for testing.
  7. This has been happing for us for a while in the "New Outlook" view, dont know about the Outlook Web version, but as they are almost the same thing.... We havent found a "fix" for this, but we also havent realy been looking.
  8. We have an issue with some of our SIA iPads going off line now and then, some more than others. We use PoE to USB C nic converters (see link below) and a 3 in 1 cable (see link below) to power the iPad and RFID scanner at the same time. This works well for most of out SIA but I think the ones that keep going off line is due to network traffic. After I have put them on there own VLAN, they look to be more stable. Links PoE to USB C nic USB to USB C, Micro and Lightning
  9. +1 For LGfL, the cost looks high until you take into account all the extras. If you take adavtage of even half of what is avable you are quids in. On top of that, there support is good and quick. It has also been very reliable for us too. The only downside we had was having to change our IP rage we used and the limited number of IPs issed to use.
  10. I think it may be due to the UserExit=UserExit.vbs I half remember that coused me a fair bit of issues

  12. Voted Managed as we use LGfL. WebScreen
  13. We had the same issue some time back, we use HUE HD cam for our meetings and it truned out to be a issue with the driver for the camera. We rolled back the driver and everything started working again.
  14. We had this the other year, just before we broke up for xmass. We tryed to inform them why it was not a good idea. The response was "this is a directive and you will do it". We did as we was told, resetting everyones email and emaild them there new password. Then we left for xmass leave. Making shure we didn't answer our phones for work related stuff. 1st day back all SLT came asking us for there passwords, our responces was "it was emailed to you as per your request before we broke up for xmass". The fix, getting the SLT to walk around the school with a printout of all the passwords we had set, so they could inform staff of there new password.
  15. I dont know about this, but don't @schoolBrodband and @LGfL do data SIMS that are filtered via there filtering system?
  16. We used to have a rolling program of 5 years, but over time the school wanted more and more PC so insted of replacing the PC, we have ended up adding. We are always having meeting with the SLT, saying we need to redue or replace a lot of the PCs. They always agree, then in the next breath say, we need more PCs in/for x.
  17. From the Photo, that is a very old 21CN (21st Centry Network) modual. Looks to have ISDN moduals installed. Nothing is pluged into it. I would emagen it would of been for internet from way back when.
  18. We have two stiles depending on what the cabinet is doing. For flood wireing, where all ports are active we will do: Patch Pannel Switch Patch Pannel Patch Pannel Switch Patch Pannel Cable Manager PoE Switch For low populated areas we will put Cable Magers in place of the switches and just have one or two switches at the bottom. Doing it this way means if we want to go back to flood patching, we can remove the cable managers and put switches in the spaces.
  19. We have a few that the buttons are only active outside school hours. We use the 2nd relay to brake the connection during the school day.
  20. It is posable, but your internal domain name needs to be a external domain name, for us, this ment we needed to rename our domain. We use a Windows NPS server for our RADIUS, Lets Encrypt for the certificate along with a PowerShell to auto renew. It tuck a bit of work to get it all done (the bigest thing was the internal domain rename) but it has saved us so mutch hassel with WiFi and a number of other things. Domain Name rename: https://woshub.com/rename-active-directory-domain/ I am looking for the site I used to setup NPS, but cant find it at the moment.
  21. Has anyone had issues today with there LGfL connection? Our VoIP system is working, we are able to ping websites but we have slow to no Web access. Before I raise a case, just wanted to see if others are having the same issue.
  22. We havent done this yet, but we are looking at doing this to our domain this summer. I plan to use this https://woshub.com/rename-active-directory-domain/ as a guide.
  23. +1 for Salamander, if it is correct in SIMS, everything els is ok. We use it for setting up Students and Staff in AD, Teams, Google Classroom, Emails, Groups, Door entry system (Paxton), Time tables into Outlook calendar.... there may be a few more things. I bet they can even get the system to email select people when the users are created/disabled too if needed.
  24. We ended up going down the rout of VBS scripts and setting it as a computer GPO with a loopback to user settings to allow it to run at logon: ' ########################## counter = 0 Do Until counter = 4 On Error Resume Next ' ########################## ' Input the printers you want to add ' Putting the printer you want as the default in the top line ' format: \\ServerName\PrinterName DefaultPrinter = "\\ppbmcdg.whs.local\A1aMono" Printer2 = "\\ppbmcdg.whs.local\A1aColour" Printer3 = "" Printer4 = "" ' ########################## ' Command to install printers. set objNetwork = createobject("Wscript.Network") objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(DefaultPrinter) If NOT Printer2 = "" Then objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(Printer2) End If If NOT Printer3 = "" Then objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(Printer3) End If If NOT Printer4 = "" Then objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(Printer4) End I fobjNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter DefaultPrinter ' ########################## 'Test Message 'MsgBox "The loop made " & counter & " repetitions." ' Wait for 1 mins before trying to installing Printer again ' ########################## ' Loop the script 4 times as it somtimes fails WScript.Sleep 1*60*1000 counter = counter + 1 Loop
  25. Are your new students and staff being added via Wonde now or are you still having to send them a CSV files to get them added? Staff here wanted to get Doddle gone years ago, but our managemt love it due to all the data it makes.
