Hello, once again we are having to look at trolleys of devices, I think 3 options, we have the infrastructure setup for all 3 but they all have their problems: Windows Surface/Intune - Slow to start, login, applying updates etc iPads - Nice but shared devices seem not to quite work, I remember looking at this and students had to have a PIN as well as logging in with their account. There was something that made us give up. Chrome - May be OK but we need to commit to Education Standard license per student/per year Can someone please comment on what they do? Thanks

Thanks. Where in the xml would that go?

We have tried both Windows 10 and Windows 11 latest versions downloaded from MS licensing. Installing latest Office365 from CDN. Nothing else installed. Here's the .xml:

the base windows image has not had anything removed from it. I also can't see any Microsoft.Office.Desktop in WindowsApps. If I can show you the error logged when installing office maybe you can offer a suggestion we haven't thought of to get office installed. NB - We are using the ODT as a source and the latest setup.exe. Have tried a local source too. And both windows 10 and 11. 04/18/2024 17:16:25.849 OFFICECL (0x1d2c) 0x12b4 Click-To-Run Non Task Error c0dow Unexpected InspectorToolDeployment::ToolScratchWrapper {"MachineId": "97e5222f6ce61f4fad05433c7d286233", "SessionID": "a081b5ce-0767-48bf-ba85-0aacc3df4526", "GeoID": 242, "Ver": "16.0.17328.20282", "C2RClientVer": "16.0.17328.20282", "ErrorCode": 0, "ErrorType": "", "AppVErrorSource": "", "ErrorMessage": "", "ErrorDetails": "", "ContextData": "{"message":"Run Inspector tool process","Process":"InspectorOfficeGadget.exe","Command":"deprovisionuninstall --displayname \"Microsoft.Office.Desktop\" --logfile \"C:\\\\windows\\\\TEMP\\\\Office.DeprovisionError.scratch\"","Message":"Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component."}"} tries this 3 times, then it tries to remove the same Appx using Powershell and fails every 10 minutes forever. 04/18/2024 17:46:34.645 OFFICECL (0x1d2c) 0x12b4 Click-To-Run Non Task Error c0doz Unexpected PowerShellDeployment::SideloadUninstall {"MachineId": "97e5222f6ce61f4fad05433c7d286233", "SessionID": "a081b5ce-0767-48bf-ba85-0aacc3df4526", "GeoID": 242, "Ver": "16.0.17328.20282", "C2RClientVer": "16.0.17328.20282", "ErrorCode": 0, "ErrorType": "", "AppVErrorSource": "", "ErrorMessage": "", "ErrorDetails": "", "ContextData": "{"message":"Failed to use PowerShell deprovision Appx package","Error":"Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'PackageName' because it is null."}"} this Thanks

Thanks, a bit more context - Microsoft.Office.Desktop doesn't exist in my base Windows package. The Office365 install is erroring trying to remove it, you would have thought it would try, find it not there and move on, but the install hangs forever. So my thoughts were to give it to the package to remove - but how do I install it?

Hello, we are having a problem with Office365 install erroring in the logs on: Remove-appxprovisionedpackage Microsoft.Office.Desktop That package doesn't actually exist, the install just never gives up trying to remove it, and hangs forever. So I was thinking to give it something to actually remove I will install the Microsoft.Office.Desktop appx, can anyone advise how I do this? PowerShell seems to need a source and a license.

FYI, they have now produced a Multi user license script (or .exe), where you can activate one logged in user, run the script and it becomes licensed for all users. https://steinberg.help/multiuser-guide/deployment-manual/

Hello, if anyone still monitors this thread... I have a license with Cubase 13 license with 'Multi' listed after it, I open Cubase signed in as IT and it licenses (I use this IT account for Steinberg activation manger, downloads etc) but then I sign in as a student and it asks to create an account. Anyone got this working?

I have bought 17 Cubase codes. I have added one code into Activation Manager and a 'Multi' license appears (signed into the Activation manager as [email protected]). This doesn't seem to change if I add other codes. When I open Cubase it wants to sign in - which I assume needs the [email protected] credentials. Then I log in as another user and it asks again. How do I license Cubase for my 17 machines and any user?

thanks, on further inspection, the error we need to troubleshoot is: 04/18/2024 17:16:25.849 OFFICECL (0x1d2c) 0x12b4 Click-To-Run Non Task Error c0dow Unexpected InspectorToolDeployment::ToolScratchWrapper {"MachineId": "97e5222f6ce61f4fad05433c7d286233", "SessionID": "a081b5ce-0767-48bf-ba85-0aacc3df4526", "GeoID": 242, "Ver": "16.0.17328.20282", "C2RClientVer": "16.0.17328.20282", "ErrorCode": 0, "ErrorType": "", "AppVErrorSource": "", "ErrorMessage": "", "ErrorDetails": "", "ContextData": "{"message":"Run Inspector tool process","Process":"InspectorOfficeGadget.exe","Command":"deprovisionuninstall --displayname \"Microsoft.Office.Desktop\" --logfile \"C:\\\\windows\\\\TEMP\\\\Office.DeprovisionError.scratch\"","Message":"Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component."}"} during the office install this is logged and then an identical entry every 10 minutes... if you have any ideas? Thanks

We have an error in logs during Office365 install (errors only when using startup script that runs after imaging PC). Error removing appx package Microsoft.Office.Desktop, which we assume is the Store office app that the full Office install removes first. After a lot of attempts my next thought is to remove this appx package before the office install script runs. We use MDT, I could do something with the base windows image. Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage etc or offline wim changes. In the past I found this to break other things in MDT. Any other ideas? Thanks

Thanks, are we talking setting permissions on the synced Azure groups or the Google groups they will belong to? Maybe both?

Thanks, is it better practice to add all 3 of my azure (non class teacher) staff groups to a single azure group, sync that to google, then set restrictions on that. Or Sync my 3 staff groups to google and add those to a google group, which i then set restrictions on. Maybe it doesn’t matter. Maybe google doesn’t support nested groups. Mmm groups.

hello, we are a MS school but having to dabble in Google... I have created 2 Azure groups, set up the the Google Azure Enterprise app so the 2 groups sync to google admin. One of the groups I want to contain staff who will teach/create classes using google classroom (this group I have added to the built-in Google 'Classroom Teachers' group) the other group is more just to allow members to sign into YouTube etc, don't want them creating classes. How can I set classroom creation and other permissions in Google admin?

Unfortunately not, we had to give up. it probably only requires diskpart 1/10 times, just have to F8 when imaging MDT, run disk part and start again.

Thanks, that looks pretty straight forward. Any gotchas I should be aware of? Anything beyond the settings in that guide?

Hello, we have an Intune environment that manages some iPads. Users sign into the iPad with their school username. I have deployed a number of MS Apps (Word, Teams, Outlook etc). I have created an App Configuration Policy that configures Outlook, but I can't see anything simple for Word/Teams etc. Is there a single or simple way to configure these Apps so the signed in user ([email protected]) is just auto signed into these Apps?

Thanks - yes iOS is ver 17.4 - as far as it will update. The one thing we have managed to work out from this is that if we go into Apple School manager / Access Management/ Apple services, and toggle the option 'Allow managed Apple ID on...' to 'Any device' then it works. If it's set as 'Supervised devices only' or 'Managed devices only' then you can't sign in with the school Apple ID. The device is listed as supervised in Intune, it's like Apple doesnt know this. I have checked all the syncs and they all succeed. I have removed the device from Azure/Intune and unassigned/reassigned the device from Apple School Manager. Erase and get the same error. any ideas?

hello, we have had a SAR that requires us to get all data relating to a students name and initials. I need to search our SharePoint Curriculum folder and subject Teams folders (of which there are many). Since moving to the cloud, searching and hence downloading all files related to these searches is new. Can anyone please advise how I search a whole SharePoint site and every team? Going to the site contents and searching returns nothing. going into an individual document library does return things, but there are loads of these and then there' all the Teams as well. I am hoping there's something in the compliance centre?

Unfortunately not, the user is of type 'staff'. It is strange all connectors/apps/users are valid and working. Just no one can sign in with their managed Apple ID's when rebuilding iPads.

I have setup 365 federated login in Apple School Manager, all the accounts have synced. I can sign into Apple.com, iCloud.com etc with one of these [email protected] accounts, BUT when going through first setup on a supervised wiped iPad that has an enrolment profile on it, it asks for Apple ID, then goes to 365 login, I enter the email and password and it says: You cannot log into this device using this Apple ID. Mm, any ideas?

Hello, we use Tutor Control to allow staff to lock computers, view thumbnails of screens etc and we have a policy 'block internet' that prevents the browser 'Edge' running. This worked fine but now we have moved to the cloud for files (OneDrive and SharePoint) we need to block Internet access, but allow access to these areas. I have setup a policy to block everything, then added every wildcard I can find on the internet related to OneDrive and SharePoint, and although I can browse to the cloud sites but I can not get the Onedrive App to sign in. any ideas for what to add to my allow list? Not even Wireshark revealed anything....

I need to remove SIMS from around 200 machines. I know I can remove the target and agent using Solus but can anyone advise what folders and reg keys needs removing to actually remove sims. Second line sims support advised scripting 'something'...surely they have a process? Its support like that that makes me pleased we are moving MIS.

Hello, we currently have about 35 edge switches, moving from Netgear to Aruba slowly over the last few years . Now with just 10 or so to replace we are struggling to justify the £2200 Aruba model cost (6200M or 6200F) compared to a sub £1000 Ubiquiti switch that seems to have the features we need (VLAN, PoE, 10G uplinks, some 2.5G ports, cloud management etc) albeit a limited guarantee of 2 years and community support (and do they stack?). Obviously the Aruba's are rock solid, their command line management is fine, they have lifetime warranty and the thought of managing another new manufacturer and model is not really very attractive... Are there any thoughts out there - Cost vs Reliability vs Support vs Features?

yes we are, but we dont use them for anything else. internet etc.
