If your looking at purely AV Elementary Technology seen good, with plenty of options. Are look looking for AV or small style theatre work though?

Has anyone seen/used a good guide on how to set this up from scratch? Would love to replace MDT with this, either from PXE or USB stick... A "quick start" guide would be excellent I suspect.

@synaesthesia Sounds like you need a DMX splitter to get signal to each bar, (think switch multiple machines, each machine having 2 network ports and you are not far off DMX...). You could just use faders on your desk to work out what is in what "where" in the rig. If you know the first fixture is Ch1 and for example is a LED flood it will then give you Red Green & Blue on CH1, 2 & 3 respectively. Once you have a map you can rebuild the programming on the desk.

Our GPO settings are very similar.

We are finding that onedrive gives a "paused cloud" and if you click it, confirms email address, then askes if its Personal or Work/School. THEN logs in. Any ideas how to get rid of that prompt? Settings in the link @highsky posted are in place.

You can still use ChromeOS Flex without device management (better with though). Might be worth testing... Does mean you could switch everything over, then enrol in device management when budget becomes available.

I have found adding MS authenticator and enabling the enterprise SSO extension means that logging into say Teams, also logs into the Smoothwall browser. So far so good. Does anyone know if you can then get OWA to sign in on the browser, without having to re-type the username and password? I could add the Outlook app, but that would take time for a background sync, and as these are shared devices could be quite a waste of bandwidth.

@psydii I completely agree with you. Its basically a tick box. It would actually be more secure if I forced the user to create a pin when going into guest mode (and if thats possible I am all ears). This is just to ensure we comply with the new trust security baseline.

Its a trolly load of Ipads, IF I thought federated logons would work we would have gone with that, but sadly they don't. Hence guest mode, they are shared devices.

We have a batch of iPads which are currently set up as shared devices that we use in guest mode. (MDM is Intune). I have been told we now need to set a PIN number on them all, to comply with a security audit. Currently I do not know of a way of being able to do this. Apparently setting a pin of say 123456 on all devices would mean we comply, but no pin no, no green tick! Can anyone suggest any ways round this? We don't want to go down the apple id route as the password reset is far too fidly to be used by our EAL students.

Sounds like you now have an upgraded lighting controller at least! MagicQ is really powerful once you get into it.

@Alawil would you mind sharing with me as well?

@StephenPink Can you elaborate on what you want to do?

I can second Digital ID as a good supplier, had several printers from them over the years!

Does anyone know if Google Admin console can push this setting out to Chromebooks?... Sounds like the fix to a none existent WIFI problem...

Yep! Good to know you found the problem. Theres a few paxton users on here.. I am sure we can help you out with the software if you need it.

I personally use magic Q, the ETC desk our head of drama has is very basic, and frankly no one can work! (Magic Q has a learning curve but worth looking at as the software is free...)

Express

Anyone know if they do 1 to 1 device schemes in that trust?

Ditto, just got an email accepting mine. Will have to see how long it takes for the card to appear!

3cx def works with SIP. We have all schools in our trust connected back to one 3cx server hosted in AWS. We just port the nos onto a set of Gamma Trunk lines as we move schools over. I think for 3 secondary schools and 5 Primaries we have 32 sim calls licenced.

I found lots of info on creating a new application, but not all of the documentation mentioned "Update-MSGraphEnvironment -AppId " which is the key to getting it working! https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1659638/weve-detected-a-microsoft-intune-powershell-script Is the instructions I ended up following.

So just to confirm, you have a time zone with Mon - Fri 7am to 11am. You have then added a custom day with 8am to 12 noon. Have you then assigned this time zone to the access level for your staff, and defined the dates for the custom day in the Paxton diary?

There's a new extension? Missed that one. What are the differences? [Edit] Is this the monitor plug in rather than the cloud filter extension.

Have to say having moved from home grown scripts to Salamander some years ago I really like the product. Yes support can be busy in Sept, but they do warn of that and recommend major changes are done outside of that time. I haven't used Locker, but it does seem that it does slightly less than Salamander can do. I wouldn't suggest anyone maintain their own vbscript/PowerShell to do all this in the current climate, well worth paying someone to maintain all that for you!
