I do think Publisher should have a EOL notice when opening Publisher files. I have been tell staff about this for years ... and when its gone no doubt staff will be in touch !!! 😅

Weirdly with A3 licences you get Windows 11 Enterprise not Education. Which is better as you get longer on the length of version support. We have 24H2 and will have support till Oct 2026.

This should help - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-subscription-activation?pivots=windows-11 We had may issues where we would get a Watermark which was very hit and miss. We have this Powershell script on logon - $(Get-WmiObject SoftwareLicensingService).OA3xOriginalProductKey | foreach{ if ( $null -ne $_ ) { Write-Host "Installing"$_;changepk.exe /Productkey $_ } else { Write-Host "No key present" } } This seems to fix it it resets to the device Product Key and then the A3 Licence you get when a user logs on upgrades to Education.

Today the phone lines are down !!! Not great

Make sure all BIOS updates are applied. We get students to log onto the same device and local profiles are cleaned after 30days and its much better. The key is to get them numbered and get staff to allocate the same device and that will speed it up.

We used Freshdesk in 2 Trusts and no issues

I would go a HTTP Traffic track on the device's traffic, that should help.

I'm moving onto a new role and my previous job is now available. This is located near Burnley in Lancashire (BB12 8ST). Job description and application form at https://shuttleworthcollege.org/vacancies/

We had both comms room on the top floor trip yesterday ... lucky for me I'm in the middle of the college but in a air-conditioned room .. 19c :-)

Or a Sims.net customer ... they won't support it.

Get one of these to support video calls for external learners and guest speakers - https://www.youtube.com/c/OwlLabs/videos Its a 360 Degree camera, and we are have one for demo, they are very good. They do cost about £1000, but very impressive (saw them at Bett).

Be careful it easy to remove - https://smallpdf.com/unlock-pdf , I would use a .7zip password protected file.

Just make sure it is Office 2019 and not Office 365, Sims.net will not support Office 365. We use SCCM to deploy and then Windows update for business for updates

I don't arrange the cover, just the Teams admin side. The cover is send via email to all staff as a PDF ....

I am using the HTML to PDF and doing it manually ... 20mins a day at the moment !!
