We’re experiencing ongoing issues with students saving their work locally to their profiles on the Macs, which keeps filling up the storage. We’re using JAMF School — is there a way to prevent users from saving files locally and instead force them to save directly to their home directory on the file server?

Weird connectivity issues... im losing my mind!
mbl replied to HC_Netman's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
I experienced a similar issue last year, which was caused by our internet line’s DDoS protection generating false positives when all students were logging in. -
I believe it is the Smoothwall HTTPS inspection. I just disabled it on a test PC, and its working fine. I’ve logged a helpdesk ticket and am currently waiting for a reply.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Google Chrome when staff and students try to search for images? They are seeing the message: "Update your browser. Your browser isn't supported any more. To continue your search, upgrade to a recent version." This is happening even though Chrome is on the latest version and was working fine yesterday.

Smoothwall Cloud Filter having issues this morning
mbl replied to timbo343's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Was the issue related to the cloud filter blocking specific websites on-site? -
Were not getting any Eligibility Check messages

I think I had the same issue but I think I had to set a GPO to Disable Turn On Virtualization Based Security and this resolved it Computer Configuration\Administrative Template\System/Device Guard

Same here

Has anyone else recently experienced issues with Classroom.cloud screen sharing getting stuck on a loading circle and a blue background?
