I signed our school up to DreamSpark today - I needed to call them to gain a promo code so that we didn't have to pay (included in our EES) printed off the receipt confirmation etc - but haven't as yet received confirmation email... How long does the email normally take to come thru?

Does everyone have to use the online versions of Office etc, does it mean the installed Office on the machines won't work? How do you get around running reports in SIMS etc that output into word / excel

Hey We currently use MS Exchange 2013 hosted in school - but I have been given the task of looking into Office 365 for both Exchange and Office. I need to compile a list of pros / cons of Office 365 to present to our Leadership Team to hopefully convince them this is the direction to go in. Do you recommend Office 365 and if so why? are you able to give me a few pros / cons?? Thanks in advance Hay

I agree! Thanks for your help though My only other question is how do I give Staff a limit of 20 and Students a limit of 5??? as from what I can see if I set a limit it's going to do it globally...

Hey How do I go about setting up a restriction in Exchange 2013 to stop our staff being able to send internal emails to more than 20 users? Currently we are being flooded with "All Staff" emails and our headteacher has asked us whether the above is possible... I believe it is possible I'm just unsure how to implement it... Also is it possible to only allow certain users access to send "All Staff" emails? Any help gratefully received Hay11Mac

After disabling gupdate is Services the normal affected machines never went off this morning - could this be resolved? I will update on Monday

Could it be this??????

On one of the affected PC's I have disabled the gupdate to see if that resolves the issue - also I have turned off the Customer Experience Program as I have read that might also be causing issues - I will report back tomorrow or monday

A gupdate was running on the machine @ 8.43 and the affected PC's seem to turn off between 8 - 9 normally everyday (But not always)

I've not ticked Define these policy settings - but not selected any users / groups - will this interfere with the policy we have to shutdown the PC's at a specific time?

Am I able to put a policy in place that will stop the shutdown? if I can't find where or who is shutting it down Actually thinking about it that won't work as we have a policy in place to force shutdown at 8pm. Plucking at straws - as I'm at a loss

Nothing specified in there - Define these policy settings is unticked and no users / group added It's happening to multiple computers at the same time, normally when idle - or where they have been idle for sometime Confused - It's frustrating many people

But the thing is it's not just one PC - it's quite a few

Nothing useful in event log

Hey Peeps Recently we've had a few PC's that will turn off randomly normally when idle and around the same kinda time each day. Users get a popup (See below) stating that "Windows will shut down in 1 minute" We only have one scheduled task that turns all PC's off at 8pm @ night, but even removing this task doesn't resolve the issue. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance Hay Popup:

Hi Peeps I'm an ICT Technician in a local school, that has just had a complete over haul of our network (Changing from Citrix to Microsoft) All our PC are running 64bit Windows 7 with 64bit MS Office 2013. Today our finance dept have wanted to email payslips as they have done EVERY month to staff, but SAGE tell me that Sage 50 Payroll doesn't support Office 64bit only 32 bit versions???? Seriously... It has worked absolutely fine in the past. So my next thought was to setup the email payslips to go direct (Bypassing office) I entered all our email settings into the wizard only to be told that I had entered an invalid email address, which I hadn't - the same person I spoke to about the above issue at Sage - Said it was because their software only supports two . (Dots) in an email address - I find this very hard to believe. Has anyone else had this problem??? Any advice I would be most grateful as I'd like to get this working again. Thanks in advance Hayley ICT Technician @ The Burgate School
