Use GAM to batch do them. So: gam print courses todrive That will get a list of all the course and their IDs that you can download as a csv file. Then: gam csv nameofcsv.csv gam update course ~courseid status ARCHIVED gam csv nameofcsv.csv gam update course ~courseid name ~newname Where "courseid" is the column header for the courseid and newname is whatever you want to change the name to. Just Google GAMADV-XTD3 and you can download and install on a machine to get commandline goodness. However, if you are using Bromcom - then it should do all of this for you.

Teacher can still access archived Classes - they are in the side menu under archived classes. They can also unarchive them - which I do for my Y12's going into Y13 for example. You can lso just reuse an assignment and pick from any class including archived classes. Archiving does nothing to the files in the teachers "Classroom" folder - I have years of class folders in my Classroom folder. Just keeps things tidy archiving classes.

We archive classes. Then make new classes which works fine. You can reuse assignments from any of your archived classes when you set assignments. Just let Wonde get on with it really.

Tends to happen in really big mailboxes - most work fine - some never do. In these odd cases I do it manually using the Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Outlook - https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gsmmo/ Slow but always works.

You can do this with GAM - use the sendas parameter: https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki/ExamplesEmailSettings#send-as

Yep -that will do it.

We have used the off hours setting since it came our a few years ago. Its an opt in option for guardians who buy a device (we have loan options as well). So we send out a form on Parentmail and they opt in and then we bung the students Chromebook into the OU that allows off hours and then the whole family can use the device. Never had any issues with it Network wise - make sure you don't have the option enabled to only connect to managed networks and the one to only allow managed network to auto connect and you should be good.

Starlinks dish is heated - so it melts snow and apparently copes well with rain - at least according to the YouTube reviews. Clear line of slight - so no buildings or trees in the way seems the most important thing.

EE offer this as a service - you just phone them up and they send their people out. Kit is free, install is £100.

https://shop.ee.co.uk/dongles/pay-monthly-mobile-broadband/huawei-5g-cpe-pro/details?CTTag=CT_Ser_5GRouter_Top_Shopnow5GHBB_Q4_2020 Not cheap - but I was fed up of the speed of my old BT line and no sign of fibre. You do need to be in the right place.

I've got EE 5G + external antenna they fitted at home. Got around 300-400Mbps down and around 50-60Mbps up. However, we are not far from the mast. Lot better than my old BT VDSL on about 20 down and 3 up! Download games on Steam while a cup of tea brews rather than over night. Speeds do vary a bit - but always 350-450ish mark.

Yep - run it on Linux - Ubuntu Server - but normally Windows. However, the odd occasion, I've done Linux, it dows run quite a bit faster than it does on Windows - web interface is really snappy even on low end hardware. However, it is somewhat more involved to setup.

We run Papercut at our primaries and sync users directly for Google Workspace - no local AD - just a light weight onsite print server. You can also sync Azure AD to Papercut if you want. We use Mobility Print and Print Deploy depending on the clients. Its entirely possible to host Papercut on your favorite cloud hosting provider either as a Windows or Linux VM. However, for now we find the cost of doing that greater than have a low powered bit of tin onsite. I've used Printix at one site and switched back to Papercut after one year as it was a bit inflexible compared to Papercut.

We use it alongside Google Enhanced Desktop Security in most sites across our Trust. Works fine.

No worries and not annoying at all.

Securly - that's what we are talking about.

We have have used at one secondary for years and its never been an issue. Expanded across the rest of the trust and its is one of those things that just works. From an IT point of view you set it up and forget almost. Might be different to what you are use to - but it does work well, and having moved schools from Smoothwall, Netsweeper and others - its a breath of fresh air and stuff just works.

Yes - that's a fairly basic firewall function - just block outbound port 53 or better still redirect all DNS to Securly DNS - so it does not matter what DNS settings they use it all goes to whatever is set on your gateway - in this case Securly DNS. We tend to use either Unifi USGs or ClearOS VMs - but you could you PFSence or whatever you like - they all do this sort of stuff.

There are three filtering tools - extension for ChromeOS, SmartPAC for other managed devices - both give on and offsite filtering. Onsite you also have DNS based filtering - so you point your DNS to Securly. You still need a firewall of some description, reroute other DNS and use your firewall to block VPNs etc if you have unmanaged devices. So all devices are filtered onsite - managed or unmanaged. They also have settings for guests that mean they don't need the SSL cert installed.

We have used it for many years and it just works. Rolled out across our MAT now. Easy to deploy.

Hmm - not sure. Not seen that behaviour. I'd suggest raising a support ticket as see what Google says.

Assuming the user has their AD account details in the custom field in the Google admin console the following happens: Existing Windows profile: login with Google account and password - use gets prompted for old Windows password - they put in the old Windows password and the AD password is changed to match the Google one and the user logs in and accesses stuff as normal. No existing Windows profile: user logs in with Google login details. AD password is updated to match Google one and user logs in and can access stuff as normal. In both cases normal local group policies apply - network shares etc. If you have not linked AD to Google with the custom attribute, then as far as Windows is concerned you are logging in as a local user not an AD one.

Yep needs to be domain\username in the custom field. I have one school who users GADS to populate the field - but you do need a custom field on AD - another just a powershell script to dump users to a csv and then sync to Drive, import to a Google Sheet and a bit of sheet scripting to populate the field from the Google Sheet.

Does it look like this is the Google Admin console? Should show addomain\username under the custom attribute (which you must add on the Google side)
