Not that I ever go into fixing hardware now but as a bit of an internal challenge and a bit of fun from my tech that I can't fix it! One of our 8th gen nucs has just stopped working and won't power on, the power button does nothing. When plugged in I can see the NUC has lights on the motherboard so is getting power but it will not turn on. Have removed the RAM sticks and get the same and held down power button whilst no power and RAM in but still will not power back on. Anyone seen similar? TIA

Be interested to see what the cost of remote help will be on intune as looks expensive just browsing but well worth an investigation. Is quick assist still free alternative to this then?

So brekdown of devices at the moment is: Windows is split so have around 70% managed via SCCM and then then another 30% managed by intune but this number is growing on intune so for windows side whatever options available must work on both. How are people who are using this finding supporting machines like this compared to using Senso, impero etc? Chromebooks is very interesting will take that away and look

Just going through jobs we are looking at next year and one of the jobs we need to do is pick a solution for the trust for the IT team to do remote support. We have seen/have most like senso, impero, AB tutor etc but wondering if there is anything baked into Windows or chromebooks which we could utilise under our current agreements. Not researched much so looking for any pointers what might be available within subscriptions already.

Brain kicked in and now sorted!

Brain has truned to mush on this. I have a spreadhseet based on form answers. I need a simple formula to say if cell = yes then "(get data from this cell to add to this cell)" but if it is not yes then put another value instead.

I did the work, swapping out 6 AP's for brand new ones didn't seem like ws going to be the hardest job in the world.

Is there a way of disabling the 5ghz band completely?

Thursday and Friday last week we have recently just installed some new IAP 515 to replace the ageing Ruckus system we had. Very small school with 6 classrooms and then 3 offices. Each classroom had a Ruckus AP in and then the offices are just next to 3 of the classrooms. We took out the Ruckus system and replaced with the IAP and now all of a sudden in some of the offices where we had 3 bars of signal I only get 1 or no wifi at all, I walk into the classroom and i get full bars. As a test I plugged the Ruckus AP in with a new SSID and the signal worked straight away whereas the Aruba was 1 bar again. I am no wifi expert but how is my 12 year old Ruckus system out performing my new Aruba's? The Head and Business manager are already questioning the decision for replacing as it has got worse. Hoping I have missed something but any solutions?

Sorry just looking for confimation does Lightspeed or Securly do the screenshots? Can you explain why not fit for purpose?

Currently looking at options for monitoring and iPads is the hot topic in one of our schools, does lightspeed or securly send a screenshot if a pupil was to type something "risk to life"?

Bit of a head scratcher and not getting anywhere on the Aruba forums. Yesterday morning we were doing some maintenance work in a cabinet and we had to unplug the Aruba 515 from the PoE switch. After plugging the AP back in I just get a solid red light. I have tried resetting the AP still get the same, I have this morning plugged it in using a POE injector (genuine one) and still get the red light, used brand new patch cables as well and still cannot get the red light to shift. Anyone seen this before?

Evening everybody. Right not sure how to explain what I am trying to do so will have a go. As our MAT has expanded I need to start to generate more reports based on switches, services, filtering etc and these are presented to trust boards (don't know why they need them so regularly) I have stock answers as such stored in a google doc and also a google sheet I put into my template and images on basic topology however it is getting tedious copying them across everytime. I am looking for a way to basically answer pre loaded questions like what switches school A has (Aruba or Cisco) and then my answers auto generate the document with pictures of the AP's etc fill the template from the stock answers Is this even possible or where do I start. We are a gsuite MAT as well. TIA

So some family have been prepared this year and have bought some laptops already for Christmas however one bought it without office. Where is best place to buy office suite now as out the loop.

Very interesting point with the KCSIE guidelines, so anything with lets say extension based filtering would fall foul of this, is there any links to this. ISP is my preferred route with this more think about it.
