Wonder if they'll eventually push iSAMS customers over? I've had tickets open with them for weeks for issues within iSAMS. So yeah, support is shocking.

I'm in the exact same boat as you /facepalm Got some of the macs, just waiting on the rest to turn up Went down the Jamf Pro route - The training videos make it super simple As for domain binding bit, I've got a demo of Jamf connect booked in soon. My difference here is that I don't want to bind to domain and I want a cloud managed zero touch setup to work.

It'll be both students and staff using these devices. I'd rather have the identities bound to something so that things like single sign on, file permissions and firewall authentication still work On the other side, I want to be in a position where if we replace all staff surface pro's with macbooks, username/password combinations still work and they can just log into anything, from anywhere.

Is that basically open LDAP on a VPS? I don't really like the look of their pricing model...

Hopefully the UK enforces this too.

We use every, it does all the policy/approval workflow stuff. One thing that I think is pretty neat, you can assign policies to staff to read and you get reports on who has read them and acknowledged that them.

Hey guys, I'm in the process of setting up our first set of Macs and I've hit a hurdle and I can't seem to find a clear answer (More likely can't phrase my question properly!) about the user accounts. It seems like a good opportunity to set them in up a way which makes things "future proof", by that I mean what happens when (Not an if I'm afraid) and suddenly we've got staff switching to Macs, or we go to 1:1 scheme and students take them home over the summer (we're an international school so that could be anywhere in the world). I've got JAMF Pro and ASM (Federated with AAD based on group membership) all setup and working as expected, user accounts in AAD appear in ASM. Now this is where my lack of experience with Macs comes in, my test user was created within on Prem Domain, added to the ASM group, that sync'd over to ASM and now my test user has an Apple ID. So I though at this point should be able to walk over to shiny new Mac and log in with the Apple ID and away we go. I then found out, that's not how it works... All I'm finding is information about binding the on-prem domain, which isn't something I want to do. Remember the bit where I said about people working off site? I'd like to be in a position where I can get the devices delivered straight to the user without the need of having to come into the workplace to pick the device up and finish setup. I'm also finding articles saying that binding to AAD isn't possible, so I then came across NoMAD, which turns out is now JAMF Connect. But the wording on JAMF connect makes it look as though it just sets up a local user account on the device that syncs with AAD. The JAMF reseller I've used was unable to tell me if that's what I need to achieve this "binding". What I'm looking for is basically a way for these devices to be fully cloud managed (Through JAMF Pro) then all logins etc to be serviced by Azure AD... So how do I achieve this? (Or am I barking up the wrong tree)

We used to have one.... HRASSH013 HR Assistant - H (year we bought computer) - 013

If I were to buy a new one, knowing what I know now, It would be a Fargo DTC one. Not the magicard rio 360 that I have that came with the access control system - Saying that it's been reliable and has printed around 5000 cards so far. But doesn't have the card reader bit..

Best results I had were with Freshdesk, directory syncs with Google too

Just something to consider, like you said everyone does things differently. But I don't remove the "bloatware", the appx packages. I've found that in some scenarios, they are interlinked and requires their presence. So what I did was just deny access to them using AppLocker, it's worked a treat. Shorter TS and just works

I visited schools beforehand that have actually had a number of translators acting as teaching assistants in the classrooms

That's the old (windows 7) way of doing it. Just add the bare ISO to your TS and go from there

Multiple adaptors in Lenovo hosts. 1 x IMM/xClarity whatever you want to call it on the motherboard 2 x 4 sfp+ cards 1 x with an internal IP (management) 2 x Bonded and switch end configured as trunk 1 x spare if I ever need it 2 x 2 bonded into SAN switches Hyper-V virtual switch enabled, configured to use the lag group and VLANS set per VM

We've got three styles, all with pros and cons. Style 1 Workbenches around the outside wall of classroom with regular tables without computers in the middle Pros Allows the room to be used flexibly for either computing work or non computing work Easy to Network and power Teacher can easily monitor what students are doing Cons Lots of chairs Bit of a squeeze Outside computer benches get used as a dumping around Students have to turn around when using the computers to see the whiteboard Style 2 Rows of computer desks facing the front of classroom Pros All computers are facing the whiteboard/projector so students can always follow instructions Easy to network and power Cons IMO, looks messy Teacher cannot easily monitor what students are doing Style 3 Computers around outside of room and an "island" in the middle for more computers Pros Decent amount of computers in one room Easy for teach to see most workstation screens Easy to network and power (Assuming floorbox or riser available to central island) Cons Lack of space for non computing activities, often find keyboard thrown behind monitors Most students need to turn around to see whiteboard

I used to do the DSE assessments for my last place, from what I can remember about lighting these were the criteria in which a suitable change could be made Glare on screen Uneven lighting Dark areas in field of view Colour temperature bulbs in the room Not enough lighting Flickering lights Glare on screen = blinds/film/move desk Uneven lighting = Job for buildings management Dark areas = Job for buildings management to ensure adequate lighting Colour temperature = BM to sort that out Temperature bulbs = 4300K only. Job to buildings management to remove those new "cool white" bulbs they put in because they look modern. Not enough lighting = Lamps on desks, job to BM and stern words with the office manager about turning the lights off whilst people are working in there. Flickering lights = you guessed it, a job to BM. Before anyone suggests them, polarization filters are for privacy, not to reduce glare.

Smartzone for us, if you're serverless, you could use virtual smart zone and host it in azure/aws? But ruckus unleashed is the controller-less

I noticed last week that for android devices enrolled into Google workspace, play and all apps are denied on play by default, you can make play and apps available on an OU basis within your admin console.

I had a quote from @Net-Ctrl recently which was half the price of Meraki, that was a two controller setup too.

I'm sorry but who puts a computer/TV in the conservatory and expects the screen to be visible when the suns out without closing the blinds, then turns it into a technical issue?

I put that one out in our comp suite, it's probably the most lightweight and quickest install of an IDE I've ever done. You could sandbox it, in a VM on each computer with no network access. I didn't

It's so simple to setup, do it yourself, but get two NAS units instead of the one. Primary close to servers on fast link and secondary target in another building Follow the veeam wizard and it just works
