Hello everyone, I am currently experiencing some brain fog! My question is that our school network consists of mostly all Gigabit switches, which provide gigabit links to all client devices with gigabit links between switches. Our core also, operates at 1 gigabit. My question is that surely there is some performance issues having all our clients connect to the network at 1Gb. I was thinking, would it be worthwhile making all of the client connections run at 100Mb with the uplinks and core still running at 1Gb. Would this be better with regards ensuring that the uplinks and core are not overloaded by a few machines thrashing the 1Gb connection? I hope the above makes sense. J. Worth.

I know this question has probably been asked before but can anyone tell me how they keep their laptops up to date with WSUS?! I have many members of staff who don't use the laptops as they are 'too slow' to get going. This is just as much down to the age of the laptops as it is windows updates though. I am in the process of researching new laptops (which will probably be SSD) as well as new laptop trolleys. Has anyone used anything like these uplinks to keep laptops updated? LapCabby Plus - LapCabby I was wondering whether they actually work, as they claim to update the laptops overnight via the inbuilt gigabit switches... Surely they would have to be able to wake the laptops which will be stored (lid closed) in the trolley overnight. WSUS is fussy at the best of times so seems like a stretch too far to think it would be able to do it this way! Just wanting to hear peoples opinions, especially as the uplinked trolleys would cost around £2500!!!
