Although, Don't forget to make sure about any retention periods and requirements before you hit the big old delete button.

And you need to add people to the mailbox, not the group for the autodiscovery to work properly.

How do you store your photos at the moment? I would have a look at some sort of Digital Asset Management system (I know there is one that is tailored to schools although i haven't used it) to store your photos that can handle tags, and then just store extra tags on it "Used on X Website" "Used on Bequests Brochure" for example.

Start going though your notepad/job list/emails etc and start building a list based on prior work to see what you want info on, Also if you have a search on here I believe theres a few other threads on handover documentation as well

To be fair, They should have devised a solution that didn't involve creating new accounts as well…

VLAN the MFDs so only the servers/papercut can access…

Not a school, But I have used OpenText eDocs (nee Hummingbird edocs), We used the solution for physical files so it stores the metadata about the files, But they have a solution for storing and managing electronic files.

Do you have a mac setup to run as a caching server? Random speculation might be that they are all trying to grab updates at once.

Scope out what you want first from the new system before you look at different systems and/or providers and work out some must haves and some "oh, that would be cool if it supported that" features. Do you want onsite equipment or hosted off site? Do you want to join multiple sites into one system? Do you want a dedicated extension in every room or do you only certain rooms need extensions? Do you want a Direct in Dial on every line? Do you want users to easily hotdesk/hoteling their extensions? Do you want voicemail on every extension? Do you want mobile twinning? Do you want integration with other systems? (example: PA system/voicemail to email) Do you have analogue/other devices you still need to support? (Faxes, Lift Phones, Security Systems, Door/Gate phones) Do you want these devices to still run though your PABX? If you scope out first it does help reduce some of that "omg, that would be cool" when you look at different systems

As the TL for the NW are you discussing these issues within your weekly/fortnightly/monthly supervision sessions? How are you monitoring perceived issues with service delivery? Vague or back handed comments? tracked in a ticketing system? What are you incident post mortem documentation like?

Local primary: 4 desktops that do circulations (2 are Backo of House for adminy stuff), plus a laptop. + very computer in the school does opac

If you want something really simple, ShowPoint which just grabs the newest PPT out of a folder.

Not commenting on the costs of surfaces, but as for niggles, example I work in a office with about 30 something Surface 4 devices, no major issues, But make sure firmware is kept up to date for the docking stations.

Picasa for Windows, Not that they really ever maintained it *shakes fist*

Might be larger than what you want, but servicenow can do it

I believe you are referring to a GMD.

And if they are using extended desktops and student(/s) walk up to the desk to hand something in and see outlook open?
