He has passed beyond the rim

Well in theory, after half term is over PPG will roll out the new SNG login method which is the SSO for our own 365/Google tenancies to allow the CA rules

only been using them for the past 25 years

@db12 to get my Unifi Servers/Cloudkeys/NVR's to be accessible via the Site Manager from offsite, we had to configure them on our firewall to have a public IP, and to have the correct ports open for it to function. Main one was UDP Port 3478, but there is a list at Required Ports Reference – Ubiquiti Help Center for what you need open inbound/outbound

After using it for the past 5 years, think our users have gotten used to the term "Assignment" since for us it's normally a class based assignment they have to complete more so that us using it for homeworks

Thing is, if you use RM as an ISP, you often can't use another DNS as the firewall is normally configured to block them (and they already have the pDNS configured on their side) If you have access to the managed firewall you can open up alternative DNS, but if your using their web filtering provision, then that might break.

We have the MIS Sync running happily from the SIMS Server for several sites (though I have it on a dedicated box that also has all the other MIS Sync Tools to keep the load off the SIMS box itself), but would be checking the permissions. Maybe set the Program files (x86)\ParentPay folder that holds the MIS Sync to allow everyone to write (same with the ParentPay folder in the Users\Appdata\Local) and then launch it and see if the values stay saved.

Well an out the box method could be a mail rule. Example A MSP did something similar at one of our sites to block students from e-mailing the staff list instead of just using the extended attribute as it wasn't a mail enabled security group in AD but just a cloud distribution list.

UniFi cameras are our go to for any system at our sites now as the system is easy to use and can happily work with a lot of our existing third party cameras in place (such as Hikvision/HiLook) with just a few tweaks to the camera's configuration if Onvif isn't already running. Just depends on what size NVR you want. We're using the 1st Gen NVR Pro's with the 7 drive bays fully loaded, and we have around 54 cameras on 1 unit and 48Tb of storage to give us around 28 days footage capacity.

You say it has the SIMS user details of the user correct, but the initial login details for ParentPay itself are correct aren't they and you can manually login to the website with them?

I have a batch file that calls C:\Progra~2\ParentPay\MISSync.exe /sims /quiet Within the MISSync Tools->Settings I've got it configured to sent a notification e-mail so each morning and afternoon I know it's run when the e-mail arrives

Not really, as I also run Canva, BBC and even SNG in different browser profiles at once

He didn't say you can't have different browser profiles, as the information is designed to run in separate blocks which is why we can be in multiple Google/365 Tenant Admin consoles at once with with the different profiles (just not all within the same profile instance) I'd try signing in to your Virtual school in a Guest browser profile and see what happens, but should be no different that you logging in on a separate computer

I do have a SharePoint retention policy configured, but it's only applied to a single site and we use Power automate to ensure newly created content has it applied as its for our CCTV exports we only want to keep for a specific duration.

A Sync will search everything on your OU, but typically only creates users for AD Groups you have selected that should be imported into Papercut. I have our Students, Teaching Staff and Non-Teaching staff AD groups as the main ones, but also selected all the departmental AD Groups so that they can be associated with "Accounts" for departmental billing purpose
