MS Classroom

[quiet_andy]

I know I am probably being stuid here but I am currently trying to get MS Classroom working. It works fine from home but when we try and use it in the classrooms it never actually loads. All we get is the Microsoft Classroom text with the spinning circle underneath. I have tried this on various machines and know there is probably something blocking it but I have looked into our firewall and security settings and nothing is flagged.

 

Does anyone have an idea I could try, or maybe already came across this and fixed it?

Try bypassing the proxy temporarily to see if it works.

 

Microsoft classroom Working fine here on our transparent proxy and the main school one using smoothwall NTLM authentication.

i had the same problem

 

you need to whitelist

classroom.azureedge.net

 

it was blocked by the yhgfl for some reason

[round2it]

did you manage to get the problem sorted

Yes, it appears that adding above to Smoothwall sorted the issue. Now having fun assigning licenses via powershell. It is only giving out a few licenses.

You can assign them from the portal to multiple users. I did about 99 at a time and it worked fine assigning classroom licenses.

I made this PowerShell script for this exact thing, it will add classroom licence to all users, as I was given more licences than users I have. (Finding the correct SKU was the hard part)

 

Connect-MsolService
$licenseObj = Get-MsolAccountSku | Where-Object {$_.SkuPartNumber -eq "CLASSDASH_PREVIEW"} 
$license = $licenseObj.AccountSkuId
Get-MSOLUser -all | Set-MsolUserLicense -AddLicenses $license

When I try and bulk assign in the admin section I get the following error: To assign a license that contains Microsoft Classroom, you must also assign one of the following service plans: Exchange Online (Plan 1).

 

But each user does the Exchange Online (Plan 1).

 

I used the PowerShell script previously and it only assigns a few licenses.
