Any development? just got Office 365 AD FS SSO setup and looking to hopefully have a mapped drive/folder for each user.

I'll look into this!!

We have been having issues for few months now with the odd computer being very slow to get to the logon screen. In the past it was sitting on Please Wait... since enabling Verbose vs Normal status messages to see where it exactly hangs It seems to be stopping on. "Applying Group Policy Local Users and Groups policy..." The problem has been very miner as in only effecting random one or two computers a week and not always the same computer. , just so happened it effected 8 computers that where required for exams this afternoon. I will continue to investigate just though if someone has had similar issue and what they found to resolve it.

I decide to make a return only to find it offline!! tut.

Just received an email from apple today, my work iMac on "A" list Dear iMac owner, Apple has determined that certain 1TB Seagate hard drives used in 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac systems may fail.

Two apps i use for WiFi testing/tracking https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.wifiscanner&hl=en

I would say students should not be moving the equipment, if it has to be carried up stairs then the laptop trolly... should be moved.

UPDATE!! 42 CONFIRMED AFFECTED MACHINES

42 of our 65 have been highlighted via the website as affected, i have sent off a list of s/n to IBM for a definitive list. But as the part to fix it are not in stock the waiting time is in the week then days.

Quick heads up, just found out by accident that some of the all-in-one Lenovo are being recalled. This has just scuppered us, we got 65 of them for all staff in office. All have to be turned off and MUST not be turned back on, even a "HEAD TEACHERS MANDATE" Lenovo ThinkCentre M90z & M70z All-In-One Desktop PC Recall Any who, got to dash!! I think the staff bounty on my head doubled
