As for the offer of your admin work around I will need to get stuck into using the hosted service for a while to see if I need such a solution. Thanks again for your help though.

Although I think my role for Hosted Google is a little different than yours, you may have a need for this so... We use Gmail & Apps mostly for the faculty and I am an outside service provider. As such there is a need for an "on-site" administrator who I'd rather not make an administrator for several reasons. So, I acquired and modified some Google APIs to allow the on-site guy & a few others in case he's not around; the ability to reset passwords. The "admins" me the principal/dean/Business Manager and the batch account are protected from reset. If you need this, I'll gladly give it to you... Please contact me privately via email if you'd like a walk through its functions... Ken Long time no speak…

I just sent her an IM and the deed was did. I know someone at the largest & the third largest software developers in the world too... What do you mean Education Edition doesn't work for international sites? Aren't ALL sites international by definition? If you mean "hosted" in the US, well we can fix that too! :D Your question isn't quite fair. I don't know you so I have no perspective. Ken Tom,

Thanks for chasing that for me, I will give it a whirl soon - if it works I will post something about it today. I am still not on the Education Edition, don't think it works for international sites as yet when I read the help centre info. Let me know if you know any different. By the way, am I lucky or am I lazy or just successful? :) Tom Hi Ken

I contacted someone I know in Google Labs was told that any of the apps that are “Graduates of Labs” should be integrated into the Hosted Education Edition. Now I’ve only tested this on Notebooks and it seems to work. Please visit the tutorial I've posted a tutorial on how to make Notebooks work on www.pencadercharter.org/google Ken "good luck is a lazy man's excuse for not being successful... so I wish you success..."
