Thanks for everyone's input, I have dug my heals in on this one but apparently I have been reported to my line manager ( who is on my side). Lets see what happens.

If this sounds like a moan, it is. Please can I have your thoughts on the following I am currently being asked by a department to create and upload class lists into a piece of online software which they use in class. My argument is, it is my job to ensure that software is accessible and running at all time, it is the teaching staff who are wanting to use the software responsibility to know how to use it and have been using it in the past. I feel like I am being asked to do their job. Please let me know what you think. Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the replys everyone. 3s-gtech - sounds the best option for us as there are only 8 imacs. Not sure exactly what you mean though by 'Extra Free Loops'. Also don't I have to create 8 individual Itunes accounts, linked to credit cards? Thanks

Help/Information required please, We currently have 8 Imacs joined to our windows domain. The music department has asked that I install Garageband on all 8 macs, which is the best way or how have you done this without spending too much money. Will I need a Mac server and MDM software to deploy, this option may be too costly or is there another free alternative. Thanks in Advance

A big thank you to you both, this is now sorted. It has been driving me mad all day

Please forgive my stupidity here but does that mean: i have to install and setup a web server?? Thank you for the quick reply

I am trying to add a corporate image to default email signature in Exchange 2010, without success. If I use: logo.jpg Where do I put the actual logo.jpg? I have tried using \\servername\sharename\logo.jpg</p But that isn't working either. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Is anyone using MDM software to manage their tablet devices? We have just bought 20 Galaxy Tab 4s and we are already tired of having to install an App 20 times. We are after some software that will allow us to deploy apps from a central location, push out any updates that may be required and wipe any device if it becomes lost. This software must also be compatible with different devices, not just android. because eventually we would also like to be able to push out and remove apps on pupils own devices. Any Suggestions is it a good or bad idea? Thanks in Advance

Thanks everyone, this has given me something to think about.

Thank you for your reply. I will let the powers that be decide on if they want to continue permitting access to personal emails.

Just trying to find out what other schools do in regards to allowing pupil access to online email accounts. Do you allow them access while in school or block them and the reasons why? We appear to get a lot of junk mail plus the occasional bit of spyware\virus. Trying to find a way of stopping this, we already block pupils using usb drives. Would blocking online email also help to prevent this or should i be looking at other things. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the advice, bit worrying though that 2 of you mention arguments, but then again that is for the teacher to sort. Will post on here what i find. Thanks again to everyone.

Thanks everyone, this has been a great help, I have been deliberating over this for the past couple of days.

So as far as I can tell now... there are no security issues, it is a paid for game but if the kids already have accounts they will just be logging on?

Thanks for the quick replies. What the teacher wants is for a few kids to be able to play minecraft at lunchtime, I don't really want to get into installing servers etc. Is it possible just to download and install the game so they can get to wherever it needs to on the web, or are there security concerns etc.
