Got an odd one with Mosyle recently. Purchase a free app (classcharts for teachers) in ASM, added it to the profile for our staff iPads. It shows as installed on the ipads in Mosyles, but isn't installed on any of them! In the Apps section of the individual iPads it shows as installed but doesn't show the Device Based VPP like the others - its the classcharts App which I know has been missing from the App store for a while, so is the app or am I missing something, as I've deployed many other apps and they're all OK

We have some staff here using ChatGPT (paid for version) but they're seeing regular and seemingly random errors like this one in the screenshot We use Smoothwall but it is allowed - anyone else seeing this behaviour?

Remote Management and ssh after boots works and so does disabling filevault! As my main data is on external NAS anyway I might just leave filevault off

Cheers - will have a poke around with those and see if thats easier than just switching off filevault

Personal Mac question here - my Mac mini is running my Plex server so its headless and tucked away next to the router (as it has to be hardwired to the router because free Plex can't handle MLO wifi - devices that switch frequency confuse it and it assumes your on a different network!) Since the introduction of FileVault I've noticed screen sharing doesn't work after a reboot - I gather this is because the Mac starts in a kind of pre-boot state so when you enter your password it actually unlocks and finishes the boot. This is a nuisance for me as its in an awkward spot to have to lug a monitor/keyboard etc to connect, so is there a more elegant way to do this, or is switching off FileVault just the most effective approach?

Its a nuisance, I've just been adding https exceptions for the ones that play up - fortuntely for us (and our finance teams sanity) we've covered most of the commonly used ones!

Its daft - outlook classic is the one I care least about! I can't understand why it doesn't work in the web version as thats the most used

Yeah its weirdly inconsistent as well - on my latest test the 'sharee' can see the calendar properly but only in Outlook classic, and even then only with calendar enhancements switched off! Its such a clumsy mess - 365 has become horrible to manage recently and I pine for my GSuite days...

Yeah sharepoint is one way, but the whole idea is that they can see the shared calendar next to their own in Outlook (whatever version! 🙂 ) - it used to work a few years back but its obviously not going to be fixed. Logged a ticket with MS a week ago and they're not come back with anything useful. Shame as it was good when it worked

Its definitely a borked option for us, I exported the calendar as a pst, imported it to a test account and then shared it with a specific individual They see an empty calendar. Or nothing depending on which app/web they use. So calendar sharing is useless in 365 as far as I'm concerned as its so unreliable

We're all the same domain/time zone - its very bizarre as they can often see the calendar but its blank!

I tested this by adding one user (who's already in the main group) individually and its the same for them - calendar shows up but is empty. Its very variable what they see

Even when the calendar is shared directly with the user and they can see it, its just blank with a warning they can't change the location (it should have all day events in this week) I think calendar sharing is pretty broken for us

We're using a mix of old Outlook, New Outlook, Web Outlook and Outlook iOS app - and users can have a mixture of results. Even when they see the calendar its blank so its a mess.

New app and Web. For example one person can see the calendar fine in the new app, and doesn't see the calendar at all in the web version. Another see's nothing in either, and another see's the calendar in both but it shows as empty! All are in the same group - and thats the group that the calendar is shared with (its an AD synced mail enabled security group) The group is quite static and changes rarely so I don't think its a sync issue, and the loss of beign able to delegate to have a look is a real problem as well
