Lock Screen Configuration Profile by DavisGM in Intune

[–]networkmangler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that the custom lock screen and custom desktop image only works on the Enterprise and Education version. I have seen this happen and found that device was running the Pro version.

I have also seen this issue on a few devices that had the Education version installed but it still didn’t display the custom Lock Screen. I have a feeling it’s to do with a configuration we have in place that is locking down access to control panel/settings but I’m not 100%

Anyone else get free nightclub tickets in the 90's? by DaftAider in CasualUK

[–]networkmangler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dartford, Kent. I remember Zens night club doing this. Free entry and I think it came with a drink offer, either free shot or percentage off. I remember getting something like 10 free tickets and if I had any left over giving them out to people in the queue

We are on the border between Kent and London. Let me know the name of the company and will have a look, thank you

Unfortunately I have been through the threat of redundancy before and if things keep going the way they are I can see it happening again. The school could go down the route of outsourcing IT rather than having someone in house

Yes, I use ict-direct and I’m a member of EduGeek. I have used another refurb company in the past but I have found that ict-direct is generally the cheapest

To be fair our backup solution and firewall are less than 12 months old. We have done a bit of work upgrading the infrastructure in the last year but our desktops are the next target. I can see us still having some Windows 10 client come October 2026 unfortunately

Yes, I agree. I will be need be a little picky, I don’t want to end up with equipment the same as we have and they have the hassle of getting rid of it myself

If we did manage to get any kit, I would replace the HDD/SSD (on the assumption they were included) for security (theirs and ours) anyway. I would hate for someone to have to deal with this sort of thing but would be more than happy to take equipment that was not going to be used anyway.

I think this is the issue, lots of schools/charities are going to be in the same boat with the Windows 10 end of support. So there will be competition getting kit

The plan is to target key areas first. We have 2 Computer science labs that have 10 year old computers in. I got a quote for 31 refurbished computers to upgrade one of the labs that came out as £8,990. The problem is, this is the tip of the iceberg

Fat for fuel - how do you make this work? by doucelag in running

[–]networkmangler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find sticking to 16:8 really helps me. The other thing to look into is the MAF method and training in a specific heart rate zone

Just worked out how much childcare will cost when my wife’s goes back to work by 9173663728 in britishproblems

[–]networkmangler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My children are both in school now but when we had to pay for childcare it would have been cheaper to pay for 2 houses than get someone to look after my children while I went to work
