Hi all

For staff we use MS RDS locked down so no downloads/uploads or printing permitted at home. Its a sandboxed environment as they can work as if they are in School and print to the school follow me printer for collection next working day. I personally still use anyconnect to remote into servers etc.

We use Microsoft's Always-On VPN for school laptops which works brilliantly (there's a bug in W10 v1709 with device-only tunnels, but user tunnels work well) and is far far easier for the users than RAv3.

 

For remote access on personal devices we deploy web-based RDP using Microsoft RDWeb. Staff can get a school desktop environment in their browser.

 

I still use RAv3 for admin stuff, but I don't care that it's a bit weird!

We use GlobalProtect which is made by Palo Alto networks,

 

They use the VPN to connect to any internal web apps such as purchasing systems and other internal apps (they can not be accessed without it on) its as simple for the user to enter their AD Credentials (as the portal is put in during installation) and they are connected.

 

In terms of remote desktop, we don't provide a solution for it and just install the software on the laptops them selfs.

We used RDS but then stopped giving access as we are moving to OneDrive and Teams. All files are stored there.

Seems like everyone is using RDS for staff remote access, i will have to look into this , as most staff want access to 4Matrix server.

Cheers for everyone replies

we use SharePoint online through office 365 which is free for schools and don't need to be part pf LGFL - it works nicely, all our documents resources are available to all staff to access and edit via the browser word,excel,powerpoint and so much more, it costs us nothing ! and with advanced auditing and security permissions it even replaced our HR systems, we are now exploring Microsoft Dynamics too which integrates nicely
