Hello All, Tomorrow will be my final day at the current school where I work - Ashby School. I will me moving out of education and going over to the private sector. I would like to thank all those people who have provided invaluable advice, support and guidance through the many years that I have been at Ashby. I wish you and the Edugeek community all the very best for the future. I will still be vising the site as its an excellent resource to share ideas, configuration and various other things that makes our lives a little bit easier Thank you, Ash.

Ah having double check the posts I think I will uninstalled the current version and then install the new version just to be sure. Ash.

Hiya, We have the AD connect tool v1.0.0.4994.xxx so as you say I can just install it over the top. Thanks, Ash.

Hi, If we have the old version installed, can this be installed over the top? does it need reconfiguring? Thanks, Ash.

Hello there, I was wondering will this actually cache the cookie so that when the staff who have domain joined laptops can have drives mapped at home (using the school provided laptops)? I'm not sure how long the cookie lasts? We have ADFS deployed and everything works fine (i haven't tried your script yet by the way) in regards to SSO etc. Thanks, Ash.

Hi there, I've found this code which may be useful and also a little tool the same person has created. https://isharepoint-public.sharepoint.com/Blog/Post/19/Auto-provision-OneDrive-for-users---programmatically Just tried to create 7 users and it worked fine. Ash.

hi, The site is intermittent, we even tried it on unfiltered internet and it was the same sometime it works fine and other time it doesn't. Will try it from home to see what happens. Ash.

Hi, Thanks for the replies, we actually tried chrome and its the same issue, then their support suggested to use IE only, yes this is their support suggesting that! I'm confused dot com. I've logged a case with them so lets see what happens. Ash.

Hello all, Our exams officer is having all sort of problems access the aqa extranet. Sometime it works fine other times is very slow to not being usable at all its all very intermittent. I have whitelisted the website to bypass HTTPS scanning but it hasn't helped. I'm just wondering if other schools are having the same problem in your school etc. I believe the issue is with their end rather than us because when it works fine and then it doesn't. We don't change the rules on web filtering or firewall so there is no logical explanation other than their servers are under heavy load at certain times?? Thanks, Ash.

Geoff, I think the main problem is that the apps are per user, not only is the pain to deploy this but also the provision of them per user on each system(device) they logon to. This makes logon times longer than they need to be and uses so much space on their local profiles on each workstation say. I think someone was stating that with windows 10 that apps are provisioned after the logon which does not eat into the logon time, we'll see how this goes. This is all because the apps are per user which really they should not be. Ash.

Ah good stuff, looks like they thought of this. Do you get the "Hi!, we're setting things up" or similar, you may have hidden this with GPO in which case you may not get that. Just wondering what login times you're getting i.e. with a roaming profile say. Thanks, Ash.

Would be great if true. The thing with this is that its okay to have the app installed in the image but do they provision for each user (this is another issue I guess). Sometime when logging on to windows 8 station you will see black screen for some time before getting to desktop. What it is doing is provisioning the app for the user. This process happens on all stations where the user has not logged on! so if they sort this out it would be a massive step forward of adopting windows 10 in education. Ash.

Yes, this is one of the big pain with windows 8.1, the apps have to be per computer not per user!!, not sure why every vendor is going for personalised rubbished, my apps etc, my store etc. In education you want to roll these apps our to the computer not, users!. completely agree with you. Ash.

Hi Michael, This is what I was doing with the cookie365 utility, all most seamless i.e. it uses your logged in credentials if you have ADFS server deployed. It does need username and password from outside network but its from an user point of view, its all pretty much seamless. there is nothing to sync because they are accessing the documents live from the internet. Ash.
