PaperCut Hive here too - 22 schools I think all using it including two secondaries. Some features not available as compared as to PaperCut MF - but the schools haven't really missed them.

I've bought both weeks ago - haven't had the time to read either yet, but looking forward to it when I eventually get the time. Well done.

It's already a pain, that they keep changing / adding things but very little in the way of communication for technical changes - but if there's a survey to be sent they are on the ball and staff are inundated !

We've done it - 48 schools into one single O365 tenancy. Some schools decided they were happy to start again with fresh inboxes, others wanted their previous mail moving over. We used CodeTwo in the beginning for a small number of schools, but in the end just exported and imported the PST's and used the sharepoint migration manager to move their documents from local servers up onto OneDrive. For those schools who were previously with LA's, they downloaded the PST's for us (as they obviously weren't going to give us GA access to their tenancy) then we uploaded them. Now we've got all school data up into the cloud it was one of the first things we did when schools joined our trust and it's massively helped with regards to communication / sharing documents / online meetings etc and it's probably one of the best things we have done.

I spotted something similar today with Arbor and our Lightspeed block page. It was just a pop-up window that showed the block message - Arbor itself once the pop-up was closed continued to work as normal.

We had similar issues with the Lightspeed Filter not pulling in the members when we were synching teams. We use locker to automate the process, and I just took it it was something that locker was doing specifically with the teams to make Lightspeed not show the members - we have similar issues with PaperCut hive not bringing the members in. It looks like if we use Microsoft groups, then these populate fine for both.

We generally go with their DOB - then they have go via the route you mention to reset their password. Obviously if they don't, then at least the password isn't just a generic password that everybody has.

I think it's still there for us, but there was a ticket from one user this morning asking if Publisher was going with this image that appeared when opening Publisher - clearly missed the memo's we've been sending for at least 18 months !

For 47 schools, the number of small desktops required will soon add up - plus powering them and backing them up etc.

Because where possible we are trying to go 100% without the need for a local server - especially in the primaries.

Cloud - we use Meraki.

We are using the API available and a third-party to backup our switch and AP config.

I guess either pre-logging the accounts on (with no ability to reset passwords) so the students don't know the details to access from home or resetting the password at the end of each exam period and kicking out any logged on sessions should suffice. Haven't tried it - but Conditonal Access policy on the exam accounts stopping access externally will also work - but that doesn't stop the students logging in, within school during another lesson or break or lunchtime.

What are people classing as 3-2-1 for serverless / cloud only schools. We've moved around 25 of our primaries to serverless - but if we need to have local backups in school pulling their O365 data then it kinda defeats the object of moving everything to the cloud!

I've looked at several products but really struggling to find a solution that supports InTune without requiring a server and client. Most appear to need a server program too with the fix generally being to spin up a virtual machine in Azure to run it....
