You can restrict changes in 365 admin, there are also a few PowerShell scripts that do the job.

I use ConnectWise and have the agent installed and pushed out through GPO.

We use a VPP account linked to Apple Configurator. We did previously use Profile Manager on an Apple Server, however, it caused more hassle than what it was worth so we took it off. Didn't want to go down the monthly subscription route to a third party MDM, it's worked OK for the past two years, just this last time has stopped all the apps from working.

Hey, Just a frustrating issue that I’m having which I’d like to collaborate on… We have over 120 iPads in school, the last batch were purchased about 3 years ago, and the others about 5-6 years ago. The iPads are now at the stage in the iOS life where they no longer update with Apple to the latest iOS version… however, because Apple forces all app vendors to keep their apps up to date with the latest iOS, when I updated all our iPad at Christmas, half the apps that we did have are no longer compatible with the version of iOS on the device. Will there come a time in the next 18 months where the only apps on the iPad are the default ones such as Safari…? The BIG thing at the moment is that I manage all the iPads with Apple Configurator 2, the iPads have the Supervised Blue Print, and I push the apps out (this works great), but the apps now won’t open as they require an Apple ID to be present on the iPad to load? And we don’t obviously want to put the credentials in manually. Has anyone else experienced this? Have you got around it? Or do we just surrender the Apple ID credentials? Thanks

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone is using any cloud-based firewall providers for web filtering at DNS level, we are looking at rolling out Guest Wifi but want it completely separate from our on-premise filtering. This really comes down to the cost as well for the cloud-based providers, I've had a look online but they all seem to be American based. Just wondering if anybody could recommend any solution? Thanks!

x3 19" monitors on my windows desktop and a 21" iMac, unfortunately its all I can fit on my desk!

Unblock social media during lunch time in school or on the wifi (if students can access it) and see if someone slips up and logs into the account.

We've been looking at this recently, we're looking to use the O365 on-premis with a hybrid setup to O365, lines are routed in via ISDN to the PBX, it will then be trunked into our Lync server for the VoIP aspect. I've had several members of staff playing with Lync IM since christmas which has proven useful, they really like it and I really like that it reduces a phone call or a walk to the other side of site, though Lync is end of life and is on the roadmap to be replaced with Skype for Business later this year so I'm now more interested in what functionalities SforB will bring to the table.

We use Windows 7 embedded on small form factor PCs and in some areas we use very old desktop PCs which run absolutely fine. Got a GPO set up to enable automatic user login, hide task bar, start menu, pop up notifications etc so the screens don't get disturbed.

Wordpress is pretty good, you can do multiple sites in one install so you can have school.sch.uk/year1 /year 2 /year 7 and so on as separate customisable sites.

We had one fitted over summer, it was installed as part of the building work to redevelop a floor of the building. We spent £25k on equipment from 3 new 4K resolution cameras, a full control room of video editing hardware/applications and a very nice 86" 4k res HD touchscreen.

We've got some 65" screens but we don't use the internal sound on them, as for the touch capabilities they're pretty impressive. The LG 84" 4K touch screens are awesome too.

ADSelfService Plus from ManageEngine is great for this

I've set up our new signature for staff within the exchange transport rules on Office365 - Transport Rules > Disclaimers. The signature is standardised across the board and pulls the users details from active directory. Full Name | Job Title College Address Telephone (Ext:) Email Address I sent a test email to a member of staff; my signature displays at the bottom of the email and works fine. The member of staff replies but her signature (personalised disclaimer) shows at the bottom of the page under mine (because in the real world it's a disclaimer) Is there a way to set disclaimers to show at the bottom of each individual email message (where a normal signature would usually appear?)

Just wondering if anybody has used SharePoint 2013 (Sites) with the Office365 package yet and how much of SharePoint you have developed? We have two sites, one for 'Student Intranet' and 'Staff Intranet' now I can create the security group within Office365 and use that to apply permissions but I have to add individual users to the security group. Is there a way to create a staff and student security group within active directory on-site and sync this with office365 like we do for user accounts?
