Well, that's a little like there not being an option for keyless entry for a car, so just leaving the doors open and unlocked, but ok...

You got Enterprise? If so you have the "File Exposure" report. GAT also has a function for file exposure reporting too.

Apart from shopping at the supermarket as I would have to anyway, and getting my haircut on Saturday (booked in, no less) then I have zero plans to attempt to go to any other shop right now. I'm using the popular times graphs on Google to pick my poison!

Smart wear generally, though we do adapt it with a t-shirt underneath our blazers now and then rather than shirt and tie. Depends on the day/mood!

Our long-term plan is to ditch this setup, as it's not fit for purpose. We're looking at cloud filtering alternatives in the long run.

@GrumbleDook SOUND THE HORN!

There is an exemption in the DPA which specifically allows you to refuse a disclosure if it reveals the identify of another individual, so its about assessing the content and whether that email sent by the original parent contains enough information to identify them. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/right-of-access/information-about-other-individuals/

So we're at the point where that content is simply now unavailable?

Started to get reports of this coming through now. We have staff being asked for age verification (ID/Credit card) has anyone seen that?

At the most basic, you can force them to use passcode/pin/fingerprint detection on the device they're adding their account too, and you can remotely remove the account from their device should you need to.

As I was told by someone from Microsoft once, even Microsoft don't understand Microsoft Licensing.

My whole family (for various reasons, age and medical) have had the jab, and now I'm the only one waiting for it. 39, so if I'm lucky it'll be the end of May or early June, which means my first jab won't arrive till my family have all had their second. Anyone else getting FOMO?

The Bluetooth stack on Chromebook is a little flaky. It works great with things like keyboards, mice and audio but for certain other devices it doesn't seem to be particularly stable.

Because that's the recommended set up by Google, and because it keeps the user settings and the device settings separate. Sometimes the settings you want for a device are not related to the user's settings.

I've worked with Arbor in the past, and I'm also in a school that uses Bromcom now. Personally, I think Arbor is a good product but Bromcom is certainly a far more mature product in regards to the features that are available currently. As I've said before on previous threads, Bromcom have also been in the market for 3 decades plus now, so it does give me a lot of confidence in the product's life and longevity. Ultimately, what you need to do is assess the product across the feature sets as well as the costs that are involved. Someone else has pointed out here that the features Bromcom offer will also allow you to dramatically strip back the third-party services that Bromcom can natively provide too. Utlimately both are modern and forward thinking in their software processes and development compared to other platforms out there *cough*SIMS*cough* so it really comes down to which product offers the features you want. Bromcom is more feature rich, so if it offers features that you're looking for, that would certainly tip the decision in their favour if it were me!

I mean, every system might have a hiccup or two, but I'm not entirely sure any platform has had as many as Zoom. https://www.tomsguide.com/uk/news/zoom-security-privacy-woes Keystroke logging, sharing entire screen when you specifically ask it not to, chinese backdoor allegations, zoombombing, historical issues with installing web servers on Mac to allow them to autotrigger a reinstall of Zoom, post-removal... Accused of lying about security features, security flaw that allowed remote access to devices it was being used on...

If you want the easiest option for Parents and teachers, then: https://www.parentseveningsystem.co.uk/ Hands down the simplest and smoothest solution we've used. Zoom have fixed a lot of the issues they did have, but how many times do you need to put your hand in the crocodile's mouth and have it snap shut before you stop doing it again?

Well in that case, if you separate your Device OUs and your user OUs (which I would in the long run for your own sanity) the current OUs need to become the user ones, and create new ones for the devices!

Apps are deployed to users only. Deploying them on a device OU won't do anything unless the user is also in that OU.

No. I got a free Stadia Premier kit, and I just didn't use it all that much. The pricing model is wrong, it's still quite laggy on input, the image quality isn't great and it never seemed to connect my pad to the service wirelessly about 7 times out of 10. I wasn't impressed at all. Sadly. Still, three months of subscription was required and I got a Chromecast Ultra, so I suppose I didn't do so bad out of it.

Potentially hot works? With people in the building? Hope they've got all the paper work in order. Sounds like there have been "no casualties". Which is good, but that's usually code for people have been injured, which isn't good. HSE will be all over this.

So for those who didn't apply but have been watching the thread, to quote Brad Pitt from Seven... "Whats in the box?!?"

Ahhh that silent R in Capita reappears once again.

Hi Very, what's the Auto Update Policy date on these?

Bromcom did it. It creates an OU called BROMCOM GENERATED and then under that you'll have (Staff XXXXX) and (Student XXXXX) where the XXXXX is the number of your Bromcom install.
