Is it worth putting ac pros in at this moment ? It looks like they could possibly be going EOL ? I'm considering starting to put U6 lites or nanos in classrooms with HDs in open areas (unless I change vendors of course)

You would think so, took twice as long to get to work today - has someone switched coronavirus off ?

Gamma Horizon here, no problems to report Only thing I don't like about it is the night service option - I have to change office hours on a schedule and the interface is a little poor in that regard. Shame there wasn't just a night service button. Polycom phones too

It's easy enough, when creating the task sequence for the upgrade - use the "Standard Client Upgrade Task Sequence" at the select template stage

It's frustrating as it's so random , difficult to pinpoint so reducing complexity might help. I went with radius to make it easier for the end user It's somewhere along this path :- Device has 169.254 before connecting, Join WIFI wpa2 enterprise, user uses username and password NPS authenticates user, sends accounting info to netsweeper for correct filtering group If authenticated USG gives out IP address USG has policy based routing to go through netsweeper so maybe there's an issue with routing, but it's odd how it works the majority of the time - it gets worse as the day goes on First thing in the morning I could easily log on 20 school owned chromebooks in a row without a problem. Sorry feel like I've kinda hijacked this thread

Radius via NPS DHCP is managed via the USG Pro I've no idea where the fault lies but I get a lot of association failures and DHCP timeouts on the Unifi controller. It could even be a fault with our setup with SchoolsBroadband. This all worked all fine until just before lockdown last year so it could even be an issue with the latest IOS \ ChromeOS etc. Just reading around there are a lot of wifi issues with IOS at the mo It could just be radius, the wpa2 network seems fine hence me thinking of just going the portal route to keep it simple

This does sound like the experience I'm having at the moment , our Chromebooks initially connect via a GWFE machine policy to a WPA2 network, then once logged in connect via a GWFE user policy to a wpa2 enterprise network Takes an age sometimes to get a DHCP lease, I don't have a fix and it's not just limited to Chromebooks The WPA2 network seems to work okay.... So no idea what it is. I'm currently looking at ditching Unifi (no idea what with) as we're coming up to a network refresh. Or just use WPA2 and use a landing page (which I don't like) Ubiquiti are or were looking at it, but support is poor

Completely new build ? I got the contractors to hide all wiring in the wall, although we went with wall mount projectors (This was a few years ago) I also got them to install a sheet of OSB for some meat to attach the projector to Walls were steel stud and plasterboard If this is solid wall construction ignore me... I dislike trunking and try my best never to use the stuff If I can help it.

Jab done AZ - was a bit wham bam thank you mam but it's done now. Didn't even get a 15 min sitdown in case I grew horns.

Oof, thanks I might suggest some specific windows based exam laptops and just use examwritepad as it's very good

I can't even remember when it did work - it did work fine once but I've gone way back to 4.x.13 and there are still issues - the latest 5.x branch release was woeful. I'm on 4.x.20 at the mo and it's just as bad

Yep, UNIFI is a bag of spanners at the moment - Got so many wifi issues but I don't know if it's that or the devices, impossible to do any testing

Thanks, any idea of costs for that ?

Has anyone wrote a risk assessment for IT support in schools ?

Sorry to ressurect, but is Chromex the best option? or are there other alternatives now ?

Take care of yourself, I'm not bothered about side effects - I just want to feel safe at school

Yay, booked in for mine on Friday at local GP Boo that'll probably be my start of the holidays and weekend ruined - but needs must

Housemate had her AZ vaccine yesterday and she's suffering bad today with it - Hallucinations, the works

Got mine too, thank you Was touch and go as for some reason deliveries usually always come when the school is closed...

These are great, keep them coming

I never short throw printers, it's usually a long throw into a skip

Seperate logins for SIMS, but edulink uses the windows one anyway so not sure if it's worthwhile

Can't help sorry, binned ours off an age ago

Although... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-56435549 Guess I'm going to be unlucky

Finally got a chance to register, picked the closest location to me and there are no available appointments, think I'll just have to wait til my GP gets in touch
