thanks, when the next one comes in i will try that

After coming back from the half term break we have found that students on the WIFI with Macbooks can't use google via Safari. If they use Chrome or Firefox it works and all other websites load fine. When trying to load google.co.uk or typing a search in the bar it just says safari cannot load this page. Has anyone else come across this recently?

Windows Firewall is off. On removing ESET AV from the PC it is now working as should be.

The auto logged in user is a domain account. If i take the settings out you still can't ping/view the PC.

We have a PC that is set to auto login. On a fresh build we can ping and view the PC via AB Tutor. As soon as we set up the auto login and reboot we are unable to view the screen or ping it. The PC has been re-imaged 3 times and it has happened every time. I have tried un-domaining and re-domaining with no success. The PC can log onto network accounts and ping other PCs.

I have just created a test sitting and it does appear that once a student has started no one else can be added. I will follow this up though. I have the option to select all students when creating a sitting. There is a tick box at the top of the left hand column.

Just spoken to our contact from GL Assessment, this is what i have been told in reply to some of the points: Once 1 student has started, nobody else can be added. This means that when we test in-year applicants a new sitting must be created each time. You should be able to add students once the test has started [*]Only 100 students (again seems rather arbitrary) can belong to one sitting. This means that my 230 students needed three sittings created. You can add as many students to one sitting as you want [*]Once I’d created the first sitting I had to click Load More multiple times to get to the last student and then manually select the next 100, one at a time You should be able to select all students in one go [*]Only one service can be attached to a sitting. This meant that I need to create three further sittings for the same students for the NGRT once I had done the three CAT4 ones. This is correct, only one type of test can be added to a sitting [*]When adding students via bulk import the system timed out on multiple occasions, seemingly unable to cope with importing hundreds of users. This should not be a problem anymore

I've had success with testdisk before TestDisk Download - CGSecurity

This is our script asking if you want to convert to duplex. /* * Offer to convert jobs with a high number of pages to duplex * * When jobs with a high number of pages are printed (e.g. >50), users will be * asked via the client tool if they would like their job converted to duplex, * thereby saving paper.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread. Just been asked to set up an ipad ready for exam use. Did you end up using ipads for exams and did they work ok?

We have blocked pacman using - *google.co.uk/logos/2010/pacman10-hp.html*

Managed to solve it, The backup folder had been changed from T:/backups to T:/backup. I have now hidden the folder so it can't get renamed.

Its only happening on one of the laptops out of the 3 we are trialling, all have the same config file. The paths both go to T:/ as the laptops are frozen with deep freeze. It was working fine for about half an hour then started coming up with this error.

Using this in our first mock exam this morning, When trying to save it comes up with an error saying that it can't find the backup file. Trying 'save as' with a different name doesn't work either stating the same error message.

That would be perfect thanks. I'm not aware of any other boards in England.

Our exams officer wants to make sure that students enter all of the information. At the moment they could only put in the subject and it would accept it

Is it possible to have the Board/Subject/unit code/paper reference box as separate boxes?

Looking at rolling this out on our exam laptops. Whilist testing i have noticed if you click save it highlights everything. If a student isn't paying attention and continued to type after clicking save this would then delete all their work. It also does it when autosaveing so if your typing it will delete all your work when it autosaves.

Thank you, that has worked.
