Has your school considered leasing the iPads instead?

If anyone is using AMD CPUs - A recent W11 update has bricked drivers.

Removing Ads is also stealing revenue from the creator imho.

Our school already has 22 of these Vape Sensors on pre-order - exiciting!

Sorry to hijack this post. I've got the above set in my environment, but I still get the dialog box as the OP.

I'm running a mixture of 22' and 25' never had an issue with either. If anything, I've run into more problems on 22' than 25'. If you're still running local AD and you're promoting a DC on server 25', you need to extend the schema in your domain for it to work. I stuck with 22' for my DCs as moving to Intune

We had this at our school. When our PCs were domain joined, I shrunk the C:\ down and pointed LR to the small drive created. Now we are on Intune, we don't have this issue.

The product is good...

Smoothwall, in general, is in the gutter. I've had about 3 account managers. I paid for engineer's time back in September 2025, still yet have the session with them. They only responded as I kicked off via an email, even then their response was incredibly flippant. It's a shame, because I have just signed up for a 3 year deal. If it was up to me I would cancel the contract and go with another company who seems to care. G

Get rid of WSUS and use WUfB. WSUS is now deprecated. Best move I ever did was to bin WSUS off in favour for WUfB

Windows Update for Business Windows Update for Business (WUfB) is a free Microsoft cloud-based service that allows IT administrators to manage and automate updates (security, quality, drivers, and features) for Windows 10/11 devices, reducing the need for on-premises infrastructure like WSUS. It uses update rings for controlled, phased deployment.

Are you domain-joined? If so WUfB Intune? Autopatch

Our budget dictated that we needed to drop Jamf School. We have A LOT of iPads. Intune for iOS is so good. MacOS, it's a little rough - Jamf is better for MacOS. Until you've tried iOS on Intune, don't knock it It probably helps that we have 1:1 iPads, if they were shared, I could see why Jamf is better.

I've recently moved from Jamf School to Intune and I can tell you I wouldn't move back to Jamf whatsoever. Feel free to DM me if you need some help

We've just replaced our aging Extreme (even some AeroHive 🐵 APs with the U7s. Works a treat. I do find the signal on the U7s to be weaker than previous APs, but we have an AP per classroom with the radios turned right down, so it could be our setup. We have 86 APs in total

Couldn't have said it better myself. In our school our teachers are trained for sure, in what I have no clue...

Non-technical people making technical decisions... sigh

Has anyone here managed to get Apple Classroom working while the iPads are fully managed in Microsoft Intune? We’re currently managing our fleet through Intune (using ASM for enrolment), and while everything else is working fine, I’m struggling to find clear guidance on how to properly configure Classroom. We are syncing our MIS to ASM using EduSync, so all of our classes, teachers and students are populated Thanks in advance

Did you ever find out how to do this via Intune?

Senior tech for £22k? Jesus.

I fear our school will be on the chopping block in the next year or so. G

Would you recommend a local profile or a mandatory profile?

Any reason to ditch Roaming Profiles? I've recently taken over a school where there is a split between local and roaming. CTRL ALT DEL brings up the menu to select TM, but nothing pops ups if I click on it. - - - Updated - - - CTRL ALT DEL brings up the menu to select TM, but nothing pops ups if I click on it. Not sure if it would be display related as my admin accounts work fine on it.
