  1. Just testing Google Classroom with a teacher. We created an assignment, uploaded a doc, the test pupil added some more text to the doc and returned it but when the teacher goes to mark the doc its not been edited. Any reason why?
  2. I tested them for G Suite but didn't get on with the sales team during the trial so decided to give them a miss.
  3. I noticed this over the past few months and have also been posting via YouTube as a workaround.
  4. Remembered what it was, but not how to fix the issue. It turned out that all schools going through the LA internet were also getting the Captcha issue. When the LA fixed whatever the issue was everything was fine again. Perhaps something based on the LA's IP / DNS was triggering the issue. Sorry I cant be more help
  5. We had this a few years ago but I cant remember for the life of me why. I will dig through some of my old docs and see if I have anything written down.
  6. Sorry to jump on this post (ignore if you want), we have a site license what is all this logging in stuff about, do we still need a license?
  7. Just setting up Google Classroom at a small primary school. Do I create the classrooms and then invite the class teacher, or spend time creating documents and getting the teachers to do this themselves? I can see a few of the teachers having issues and needing me to help anyway so I am thinking just doing it myself.
  8. But if there is a problem with the vm, will that not have been synced also. Think this was a reason why I disabled the sync part of the backup and sync software.
  9. I really should have thought of that as a workaround. Thanks :0)
  10. The year 6 primary teacher has a Smart TV, but for some bizarre reason this version doesn't come with a remote control so the teacher cant easily pause the image. Are there are workarounds, perhaps something that can freeze the hdmi output on the laptop itself. Any other ideas????
  11. I am just about to do the same :0) Which ones did you go for?
  12. Galaxy Tab A 8 inch are cheap as chips and seem ok
  13. They also do educational discounts
  14. I do it both ways. I use Google Backup and sync (sync disabled) to backup local server files to the cloud, and Cubebackup to backup cloud files to a local server :0) been doing this for ages. I also have Spanning backup that backs the lot up to their servers
  15. Would someone mind sharing their UAC group policy that gets applied to the DC, not concerned about the one that gets applied to domain clients, just DC. Thanks :0)
  16. just rebooted and it all seems ok again. Ill post back if i still have an issue
  17. The host (not domain joined) has just enabled UAC and I cant seem to disable it. When I open UAC and drag the bar down it says I must be logged in as an admin, but I am logged in as the admin the host is running our only VMs DC + data the really odd thing is I just changed UAC policy on our DC for some clients, but the host is not domain joined and not listed anywhere in ad and lists itself as Workgroup when i check. Starting to panic a little
  18. The primary school I help out at has been using G Suite for the staff for about 4 / 5 years and I have just been given the nod to get Chromebooks for Year 6 (finally). If that goes well I can slowly roll them out for the entire school. So I need something that doesn't look cheap (Yes they do go on looks at this school) but also doesn't cost the earth and leaves a good impression. Main things I need, decent quality screen, good sensitive touch screen, Android app store, screen size between 11 and 13 inches. decent amount of time to end of Google support, They don't need to be big and chunky as they currently have nice looking consumer laptops and very thin tablets that survive very well with the pupils. Found the following so far but would really love some input / advice :0) Lenovo Chromebook C340 https://www.johnlewis.com/lenovo-chromebook-c340-11-1ta000buk-chromebook-intel-celeron-4g-ram-32gb-emmc-11-6-inch-platinum-grey/p4339263 Lenovo IdeaPad Duet (Not sure the plastic hinge would last in a school) https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/lenovo/student-chromebooks/Lenovo-CT-X636/p/ZZICZCTCT1X LENOVO IdeaPad Flex 3i https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/lenovo-ideapad-flex-3i-11-6-2-in-1-chromebook-intel-celeron-64-gb-emmc-blue-10207513-pdt.html DELL Chromebook 11 3100 2in1 https://www.dell.com/en-uk/work/shop/cty/pdp/spd/chromebook-11-3100-2-in-1-laptop/n011chb3100112n1emea#features_section ACER Spin 311 11.6 https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-spin-311-11-6-2-in-1-chromebook-intel-celeron-64-gb-emmc-silver-10203802-pdt.html HP x360 https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-x360-12-2-in-1-chromebook-intel-celeron-64-gb-emmc-silver-10200681-pdt.html ACER 314 Touch 14" https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-314-touch-14-chromebook-intel-celeron-64-gb-emmc-silver-10203217-pdt.html
  19. Ill advice him to get a new 1660 card as it will also have a warranty and can be returned if needed.
  20. Just helping a friend get a new graphics card (or second hand). Started looking at the one I have which is a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, which seem to go second hand for around £200 ish on Ebay. Then noticed the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB Gaming OC new for £200+ ish Any idea why the newer card goes for that cheap price new? Is the 1070 better but older? https://www.google.com/search?q=GIGABYTE+GeForce+GTX+1660+super+8GB&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjPy-yAub7rAhWNasAKHSMdB_EQ_AUoAXoECA0QAw&biw=2560&bih=1297
  21. So if I had 1 host with 2 VMs the free version would be a good option???
