Just before christmas my team looked at the various versions of Windows 10 and decided ENT LTSB was the best option for our schools. The cut-down look was great, and easiest to sell on to teachers as its just an updated Win7. But this week a teacher asked me "where is the photo viewer?".... Urm.... Turns out "Photo Viewer" is not enabled, you can do a registry fix to bring it back. But that made us realise that the new Photo app wasnt present, or the calculator, or any remote option of sideloading apps in the future. (I think it is possible to load apps to LTSB, but its not officially supported so we will be avoiding this.) As a result, we need to rethink our deployments. I am looking at whether Education or Enterprise is best for schools, what do you think? I think Education seems the best bet Sadly though during our time trials LTSB was under 2 minutes for initial login, but Education was 3-4minutes for initial login. So this is going to annoy the pupils without a doubt! How is everyone deploying apps btw?

I have a batch of new Windows 10 Laptops and have installed Office 2016 Pro but unlike Office 2013 I cannot get the Outlook to connect to our users' Office 365 Education email. It will happily connect to Microsoft Mail but can't find the 365 Education version. Edge connects Office 365 fine. Is there something I HAVE to do or have Big Blue ended the relationship between Office 2016 local and Online Email?

Does anyone know if schools and collages in the UK are legally allowed to make a digital copy of a DVD for educational purposes? For example, could you make a digital copy of a DVD, and then store that digital copy on a shared drive accessible to any member of the teaching staff?

Hi I have been asked to deploy Python 3.7.4 by the head of Computer Science. After visiting the Python.org website it appears that there are no MSI installers available for download for recent versions of Python. I wondered if anyone has a Python 3.7.4 MSI that I could borrow please We are currently running version 3.3.2 Unfortunately we don't have SCCM or any third party tools to wrap the EXE. Thanks

Hi all, I'm the IT Manager at Twynham School - Do you know if 'it's the thing' to start getting devices onto Windows 11? When Windows 10 came out, we really jumped on that but we've held fire on this one. All our PCs in the IT office are on Win11 but I'm just reluctant to move staff and students over... I assume you can do things like Sysprep in Win11 but what about the start menu import changes as I know they're now based on JSON? I did attempt making an image when Win11 very first came out but it didn't go very well haha! Many thanks!

Excluding any hub associations, could I please ask how other schools are designing their SharePoints. I have set up separate SharePoint sites for curriculum subjects (Maths, English etc), but was curious about the administration side. We have an Admin Portal network drive and I could replicate this with an Administration site with sub folders for say "Catering", "Facilities", "Admissions", or is the best option to separate these into sites too?

I am delighted to confirm that we are advertising for an IT apprentice. If you know of anyone interested, please ask them to complete the application form below: IT Technician Apprentice Kind Regards

Hello my IT geeks (including myself), If you were to study for a course, what course would you say is the most useful? I've looked at various, such as ITL, Microsoft, Cisco, etc. Thank you. Paul

A website that focusses upon the developments in ICT that may be of significance to education. Future2: Mission Knowledge Economy Some interesting web apps that could be used in the classroom and iPhone apps too. Hope you like
