Message rules in a school, Office 365.

[PHAICT2]

Hey all,

 

Does anyone know the quickest way to do year group based send/receive rules in O365?

 

For example, what we want to achieve is to stop a year 7 messaging a year 11, or a year 8 messaging a year 7 etc etc .

Whilst giving them the responsibility of email we're also at the same time being told to restrict them as much as possible and it's all getting tedious.

 

Has anyone else got Office 365 setup in a school with very 'unique' kids that will inappropriately exploit a system any way they can? i.e, start cussing someone over a fight in a playground over Delve or put rude words on a personal profile ?

If so how did you go about setting office up in terms of what they can and cannot do?

Surely with such massive restrictions being laid out, it would be better to not give them access at all? See other posts on rescinding group creation in O365. Oh, and bat it back to them about how they will be able prevent gangs forming in the playground too… [emoji49]

We're not on O365, but have an exchange server on-site with similar permissions in place. Students cannot email each other but only send/receive from staff.

 

It was done with a simple powershell script at the beginning of the year for new years, and then another script runs daily to change the permission on newly create mailboxes that day.

Yeah thats the sort of thing we're after ITGURU. I might have to look into the powershell way of doing it.
