Not overly helpful in getting you to your goal but I just think of it like this: OneDrive = My Documents SharePoint = Shared Drives Edit: You may find this helpful in deciding what license option is best: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/office-365-platform-service-description/microsoft-365-education

If you're looking for companies to help with a migration from CC4 to Vanilla I can honestly recommend CSE (https://www.cse-net.co.uk/), they did our migration in 2018 and despite me ending up in hospital during the install and off for a few weeks afterwards everything went very well. I'm not going to claim it was easy (especially for the member of my team suddenly left carrying the can) but with their help we got through it.

Woo! Just been told to expect our Win 10 devices next Friday, sounds like we were bottom of the list, that or the LA have had serious logistical issues.

@TechMonkey I'd just like to give you a proper thank you, after hours on getting nowhere with the official Microsoft method: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/batch-policy-assignment-edu (claims that -AddPackage isn't a valid command) Your script worked flawlessly and all my users now have the correct permissions, thanks again!

Why not create a template specifically for those machines and add the bundle you created to the template? That's what we do, we have a total of 4 templates - Student Computers, Wireless Devices, Office Computers & IWB Computers. Only differences are the software bundles they apply (and wireless settings for the wireless devices).

We have a few test machines running 1909 (including mine) with the same WSUS Products selected as you do + the 1903 and later option, 1803 and 1909 clients all updated from WSUS without an issue for January and February.

Ours shows the display name of the account.

I could easily be wrong on this, but... Isn't moving data to the cloud but then backing up locally just turning what many of us already do upside down? At the moment we have disk quotas keeping a lid on our on site storage, therefore reducing what we need to backup every evening. Part of the appeal of cloud storage is removing the need to set hard quotas and allow users to utilise the much more generous allocation of cloud storage. The cost saving point of moving to things like O365, Azure AD or G Suite is to reduce the need for local storage, if we were to backup everyone's OneDrive and Sharepoint sites (assuming everyone will eventually hit their quota limit), we would need a server(s) with over a PB of storage for a single archive point! As pointed out by @psydii it becomes much more of a user awareness exercise than a technical problem to solve (at least locally anyway).

No such issues for me as I'm playing on a Day One Xbox One, so 1080p is the max res for me. I have traditionally avoided first person games as they gave me headaches when I was younger, Skyrim and Bioshock didn't, but I can't seem to play We Happy Few for more than an hour without giving me some degree of room spin. I guess I will try to get through the story and leave it there, might take a long time though only playing an hour at a time!

Without addressing this issue then I would not permit any unmanaged device at all.

I've just downloaded We Happy Few, I've always liked the look of it but read so many indifferent reviews, could never justify the price as even when it was reduced it only went as low as £25. I used the game pass workaround over the weekend, where I stacked 2 years of gold (thank you CDKeys) and used my 1 month games pass trial to covert my 2 years subscription to games pass ultimate for £1. Just wish I hadn't wasted money buying Gears 5 outright in December now, the good news is that Two Point Hospital is also coming to Game Pass at the end of the month.

I am going in circles on this one, I need some help from the experts! We currently have an OVS-ES agreement in place which covers us for the very basic level of Intune and Azure AD management. This agreement is due to end this summer and (I think) we are looking at moving to a Microsoft 365 A3 plan, mainly to get AD Premium, conditional access and Intune for Education. The issue I have is that before Easter I may have a short term project where I could do with a Microsoft equivalent to a Chromebook. I was thinking along the lines of a Surface (possibly a Surface Go) that could sign in using O365 credentials getting SSO to the O365 suite, also I would like to be able to deploy store apps to the device, I don't believe I can achieve this with our current licensing. Trying to search for a solution I see that Microsoft now have Intune device licensing, this sounded promising until I read that it is only for devices that are essentially used in Kiosk mode. Am I stuck until the summer when our new Microsoft licence is due or is there a way around this that I am just not seeing?

I completely missed this being announced, Two Point hospital is being released for PS4, XBOX and Switch on 25th Feb.

So if you buy online you have no chance at all

As above really, we go to @ICTDirect_Dave but we have also used Stone Encore too (https://www.encore-pc.co.uk/).

Ruckus Dog!

Doesn't mention a limit, I was going to run 4 or 5 test accounts together later this week to see what the bandwidth consumption is like. We are only running one exam, once for one subject, for a total of 15 students; the whole LAN setup seems a little unnecessary to me unless there is a good reason not to.

This has just crossed my desk with just over a week to get everything set and tested. I'm opting for the Online POP method given the time constraints and the fact that I'd never be able to get myself let alone the invigilators up to speed on the many different elements. Can I ask why all of you are taking the LAN approach, is it due to the number of consecutive tests you are running or just to be cautious of Internet issues?

Sophos Endpoint? We have a copy of the exe with a batch script, each boot our clients check for the presence of the Endpoint Client and install if it isn't there, we then use GP to push it out: @echo off SET MCS_ENDPOINT=Sophos\Management Communications System\Endpoint\McsClient.exe IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" == "x86" GOTO X86_PROG IF NOT EXIST "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\%MCS_ENDPOINT%" GOTO INSTALL exit /b 0 :X86_PROG IF NOT EXIST "%ProgramFiles%\%MCS_ENDPOINT%" GOTO INSTALL exit /b 0 :INSTALL \\\SophosEndpointSetup.exe --quiet Popd Our exe and batch file are in the NETLOGON folder, I'm not saying this is the best way but it is working for us. Remember that in order to remove Sophos Endpoint you will need to disable tamper protection for the client via Sophos Central first.

Edit @DalekSec beat me to it.

I've seen Qustodio get mentioned quite a bit, the free version seems to do a fir bit too.

That explains the new stand code format then! Looks like planning a route is going to be more important than ever this year as I suspect the concourse is going to get pretty crowded.

We are doing this as a stop gap as our printers are falling apart. The toners are fairly expensive so I don't believe it works out in the long term, but the cost does cover any and all servicing and repair. We have found the FS-2100's to be quite economical but we often fall 1,000 - 2,000 short of the supposed 20,000 capacity. LaserLife as a company have been fine to work with and get toners and printers out very quickly. Their engineers are friendly and professional too.

We had the same issue, we just disabled hiberboot on those machines. As we only have them in one OU we just did it via GPO, you may be able to use a WMI filter if yours are over multiple OUs or have other hardware in there. Simple Reg entry will do it: HKLM> SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power Value Name: HiberbootEnabled Value Type: REG_DWORD Value Data: 0x0 (0)

That's done the trick!
