Cheers - we are an iPad house generally but this requirement has been sprung on me and is not in budget. Finance are seeing what they can free up, but we need to go as cheap as we can - £130 is about what we were looking at for Lenovo devices so if we can land more ipads for the same money it saves me having to go make a whole new onboarding process.

I'm looking for a quote for 30 bargain basement Android Tablets that we can Intune and then put in kiosk mode solely for TTRS practice ahead of the MTC. We've gone out to our usual suppliers and they're all interested in selling me ipads or samsung devices north of £400 whereas I'm looking about £130 Lenovo. Any options?

Longevity is my concern mainly... Here's their Networking offerings... Networking Solutions

Holy necro-thread Batman... Just to add closure to this, I'm still not exactly sure which was the fix, but about a week after I posted the original query HP released a BIOS update and Intel released a video update within 24 hours of each other and following the application of both of those, the issue just went away.

Recently replaced a failed APC unit with a Riello. Very impressed with it.

I just applied a custom domain as my primary, created a new onmicrosoft fallback and changed the Sharepoint tenancy via powershell to the new fallback... Start-SPOTenantRename -DomainName <NewDomainName> -ScheduledDateTime <YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS> Then I updated all the usernames to be the new custom domain manually, created the old names as aliases and added DNS for the new one. After about 2 years I removed all the old custom domain addresses and MX routing although we continued to pay for the custom domain name to prevent malicious takeover.

So, I've now taken over IT in a large primary school (850 kids, 120 staff). We currently have an elderly 40ap Ruckus system with a mix of AP models, A Splicecom phone system with around 30 extensions, and around 20 switches from an assortment of vendors including HP(procurve), Netgear, HP Aruba and TPLink. It's a completely flat network despite having almost 600 devices hung off it. I have been buying Yealink phones for the last year to replace the failing and out of support IPCS phones, and the wholesaler I've been using (UX Pro) has suggested I investigate Grandstream with a view to unifying all 3 systems. I have to say that I'm very impressed, it seems incredibly feature rich and the price point is almost unbelieveable - I can do a full hardware refresh of wired, wireless and telephones for the price of wifi and wired from Unifi or just wired from any other vendor. Anyone here used any of the Grandstream networking? They seem to be very big in asia and in the hospitality industry. The only things I'm really worried about is longevity and ability to access support.

Afternoon everyone... I'm Back! I'm now doing a full-service technical management role in a very large primary school. I took over site, which was a mess and now I'm doing their IT which looks OK from the front but is a mess from the back. Once of the issues I'm currently trying to straighten out is that practically every intune windows config policy has some sort of conflict with another policy. I've weeded out all the obvious duplication of settings (AV options were set 3 times in 3 different policies for example) but I've got some now that I cannot find the source of the conflict. The one thing I have noticed is that we have the default 'education PC policy' set including the the enigmatic 'education policies' option. Nowhere can I find an actual breakdown of what that sets. I'm wondering if that is the source of my remaining conflicts. Any chance one of you good folks knows what it does?

We use applocker to prevent them from running anything. It looks like there may be something that can be done with the Defender version we're getting from September but that's being looked into by my MAT so I don't have any details.

Not really, it was taken on board and I was told at the time it was roadmapped but I haven't seen anything further on it.

You haven't got a policy somewhere that does "Remove common program groups from Start Menu (User)" Someone set that and it broke the start menu for students.

Yes, using Delprof to remove all trace of the user profile and then signing in, the problem went away in my case. Your experience may vary.

I've seen something like it before - nuking the profile on the machine solved it.

Make sure you have the Dell drivers off the website. I've had a similar issue with a specific HP device that has been made a lot better by installing the manufacturer drivers rather than the generic W11 ones, even the optional ones from update didn't work well. It might be worth seeing if it comes to life more with 16gb ram as well.
