Schools XP EOL

Hi all, does anyone know if Microsoft (Ireland) has a program in place or any support to encourage schools to stick with Windows after the XP EOL in April? Some of my local schools are planning to switch to Linux... Thank you.

You can pay for extended support license, which means that Microsoft will keep a team of programmers at hand which will be dedicated to support you and to continue to create patches and updates for you.  It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars (or even millions).  It would be preferable for you to stop using XP instead, even if it means moving to Linux.

  • Cannot open a session due to having a computer at school

    Two days ago we gave me a Macbook Air (OS X 10.11.5.) of my school, which means that I do not go in the name of user or password for the administrative account until I graduate and get to keep the computer. I was able to connect very well on my student account so far. I have tried everything that people say to do, but nothing seems to work. I can't really little to access the recovery mode, because everytime I try, a lock screen appears, but instead of the usual avatar that I see for my account, it is just a lock, and the background is black. It won't give me any advice for a reason, and asking for my AppleID never appears. Help?

    What happens exactly if you just to the bottom of your Mac then power and turn it back on?  What connection options, if any, are you?

  • change info student in the school of Apple Manager

    After completing the Setup Wizard in the Manager of the school, I stayed with 468 students and 31 instructors. In the models that I used to download via SFTP information (using Filezilla) I've assigned each student in the class by giving them a grade, the class id and so strong. Each class had several teachers.

    But all that information is lost when I downloaded models. Each class has now that only one instructor, but there is no students in classes. I thought the classes would be assigned automatically based on the tags that the students were given. It goes same for instructors, I manually add instructors in classes, even if I had already done so.

    If I'm looking for some students, however, then I see that the level of appropriate lubricant have been applied. Grade level, class ID, class name, it is apparently not the same. So I have to reassign the correct students to their classes. I convert all IDs students manual, because I can't change whatever it is, when all is related to the SFTP post. Finally, I plugged the students for their correct classes.

    Then I noticed that the wrong password policy has been selected for each student. Although localization at the level each student must have a 4 digit PIN, they now 8 combination of number of letters. And no way to change for the most part, I have to manually change 4-digit. Right?

    Also this manual madness applies also to change the class by student news? I can't change the class to an entire class id?

    When I change an info students or teachers in their 'Individuals' account information, (not correct namespelling) I also delete the old account of their class and have to fill the empty space with up-to-date profile information again.

    Please someone tell me that it is really easy and I've just forgotten a filtering information / in bulk / dynamics of change in the option tables all in school manager!

    So far, I like the promise of the ASM, but I was frustrated by it's steep learning curve (download SFTP problems) and the scarcity in the options.

    TLDR / my real question: is there an option in ASM to filter multiple people, to change the settings in bulk (such as the method of connection setting to 4 digits for one class at a time) and to ensure that when the news about an individual has changed these changes are applied to all tables of data within ASM?

    In response to my own question: I discovered that it is possible to change the password policy and other info to groups of students selected in ASM. I was really happy that I not rehook to SFTP or manually edit appleids 468 students. In looking at 'individuals', you can sort by rank or role, and make a selection of students by using the shift or command options as you normally would. You cannot drag to select well. After you have selected, you can change various settings for your selected group. After this, you can print the new password for your selected group instructions. Nice.

  • My school (Washington State University - site Angel) appears as "Untrusted" and I can't access any of the content, how do I get around this?

    I get an error "this connection is untrusted" when I connect to the website of my school and therefore can not access all of the content, that I need for my class. It is a new problem, I just had to reinstall Mozilla when I upgraded my hard drive, it worked two days ago, but not today. Does anyone know why this would happen, or how I can get around this? The only option that is imparted to me is of ' get out me of here! "which is the exact opposite of what I need to do.

    Check the date and time of the clock on your computer: (double) click on the clock icon in the Windows taskbar.

    Find out why the site is not approved, then click on "Technical Details to expand this section.
    If the certificate is not reliable because no issuer channel was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) and then see if you can install the intermediate certificate from another source.

    You can retrieve the certificate and check details such as WHO issued the certificates and the expiration dates of certificates.

    • Click on the link at the bottom of the error page: "I understand the risks".

    Let Firefox recover the certificate: "Add Exception"-> "get certificate".

    • Click on the "view..." button. "and inspect the certificate and the Coachman, who is the issuer of the certificate.

    You can see more details like the intermediate certificates that are used in the details pane.

    If "I understand the risks" is missing, this page can be opened in a (i) frame and in this case, try the shortcut menu and use "Frame this: Open image in New Tab".

    Note that some firewall monitors connections (sure) and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the certificate of the Web site.

  • I cancelled iTunes on a Macbook Air, issued by the school.  All my music is stored/saved on my iMac at home.  If I delete the playlists and songs of the Macbook it will affect my master library?

    I cancelled iTunes on a Macbook Air, issued by the school.  All my music is stored/saved on my iMac at home.  If I delete the playlists and songs of the Macbook it will affect my master library?

    Unless you're 'home sharing', which he does not seem like you are, two libraries (macbook and iMac) are distinct, so a change does not affect the other.  Best way to test would be to remove a few songs you can download easily and see if it changes.  But I don't think it will be a problem.

  • I can open is no longer my daughter's school Internet links after updating to iOS 10.8.5

    My daughter's school uses a Web site called RenWeb for more information of the school. I can connect to the site without problem. But they often send e-mail with web links to RenWeb. I used to be able to open these links, but now they start loading but stuck. I can still open these links on my iPhone. I can open these links in Safari, but Firefox is my default browser and I prefer to keep it that way. I have an iMac and recently upgraded to iOS 10.8.5.

    These are PDF files.

    The built-in Firefox PDF Viewer doesn't always handle not all PDF documents correctly, so it is possible that this happens in your case.

    Then you can consider to open in PDF (preview or Adobe Reader) reader program where these program accepts URL based on the internet.
