Exams and intune

[Simcfc73]

Evening,

 

I've left this to the last minute as per usual.

 

Inherited a network that's gone to intune so all the old exams restriction gpo's no longer work.

 

I've decided to use senso to block access to anything I don't want for the exams.. seems to work fine (takes a minute to kick in).

 

I created a script to copy the examswritepad depending on who logs on so they either get spell checker or not . Works

 

I can't get the drive mapping to work. Ive used remediation scripts for the staff but they take too long to appear for a exams so I created a logon script that reads the username and maps a drive for that name.. problem is I cannot get it to run as a scheduled task at all. It works if I create a task as exams1 but not if I make one for all users . Copilot is no use  

 

I know I'm using old school stuff but I can't work this out.

 

Any advice?

 

Prefer to map to local drives still just in case the internet fails (I know that will messed everything else up)

 

Sick of copilot telling me about a good catch when the script it gave me had an error.;)

Sorry, not much help with any of the questions, but could I have a look at your script for Exam WritePad settings? Doing the same as you but have until the summer to get sorted.

 

Thanks

As you are using Senso to block, could you use senso to run the powershell script to map the drives? We don't do it for mapping drives , but we do it to map local printers for computer science.

With Intune I was unable to get At Logon scheduled tasks to run consistently, so I now configure all custom applications and scripts under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key.

When I spoke to Senso they said the scripts run as system so the ones I'd created to run as the user failed. 

 

I went proper old school and just made local GP logon scripts to add the correct home directory, copy the shortcuts to the desktop, add the room printer and copy the examswritepad settings depending on if they need SPAG or not. 

 

I did about 25 machines so didn't take long. 

 

I still use Senso to block everything and intune to lock the device down.
