We've been suffering this from the third week of March, raised a ticket on 30/03/2020 and still don't have a resolution. Assignments set in these Teams still reach the students so they aren't a total writeoff, but they still need fixing. Since that ticket was raised I've managed to get in contact with someone on the SDS onboarding team who is keeping me updated. Apparently 'lots of schools' are affected by this, and they've already tried deploying one fix which did not resolve the issue, and are now working on another. There's nothing we can do but wait.

I'm getting the same thing - mounts show but nothing listed. Have reverted to previous release which works fine...

Are you using a trailing \ on the share? net use z: \\server\share\ /USER:domain\user PASSWORD If so try without the \ - \\server\share - seems silly but worth trying if you have one. I've seen that cause issues before I believe.

Well I don't think I see anything wrong with your command line - does the command work if you paste it into a command prompt directly, outside the script?

OK GPP is out Either way the script should be able to do the trick. Does it work when double clicking it on the client?

Does the script work if you manually double click on it on the client? Is it in the 'logon' scripts and not 'startup'? Is the script stored locally or on a remote share? Is there a domain trust in place? Could you use GPP (group policy preferences) to map the drive instead?

Does manually mapping the drive from 'Map network drive' in explorer work? Are these all on the same domain or is there a separate Admin and Curric domain set up?

I'm totally certain that you can get performance good enough for a Wordpress site without having to resort to changing away from Apache. *YES* there are faster - my favourite being nginx with PHP-FPM, but apache is more than capable unless you're getting a really heavy amount of traffic and the hardware is struggling. I run our school site from ubuntu/apache and average homepage load time is around 350ms. We have a number of plugins loaded. The single biggest performance boost I have found (and it doesn't just apply to Wordpress) is to ensure PHP has an opcache enabled - a store of the compiled PHP code ready to run instead of recompiling every time a php file is loaded. If you're on a recent Ubuntu - the shipped PHP package (from the PHP 5.4 release or later) should be able to have its built-in opcache enabled, no more software to install, just a config change. This should immediately give you a relatively decent boost to performance. You can try a guide such as this: How To Enable PHP 5.5 Opcache on Ubuntu 14.04 for a basic configuration of it. On my server I've given the opcache 128MB of memory - of which it seems to only ever use up to around 80, so you're losing a tiny bit of memory but gaining a much faster execution time for PHP elements of the site. For a decent guide of before/after performance you can use Chrome with the F12 developer options, and in the network tab, ticking the 'disable cache' box. This will let you browse the site without your browser cache 'hiding' any latency, it also gives you page loading times. There are other things you can do - but enabling the opcache alone should give a big boost. I've used opcaching alone to make a fairly large wordpress site go from 4 seconds per page load to under 1 second, for a simple config change. Its a transparent change for wordpress - no code needs changing or plugins need adding - but makes a huge difference to performance, and will lower CPU usage significantly too.

Anything specified by an IPv4 address instead of a hostname will not make it across the DA tunnel given it relies completely on DNS to translate for the DA clients and create an IPv6 NAT64 address to talk to the client with. That's how I make things 'work' for laptops that operate on-site and off-site here. It's a bit dirty but it does work, and is the only way I've found to avoid relying on other things to alter proxy settings, it just silently fails to find the wpad when off-site and goes direct to the internet. Provided your wpad-hosting machine never changes address and is accessible from anywhere on-site, it'll work. Oh how I wish windows supported per-wifi-network proxy settings like iOS and Android have had for years!

We'll definitely not be giving RM another penny towards it in any way now. But it does have some redeeming features (multiple logins as stated by fiza above is one, along with the console running on the server showing what everyone is doing). I guess we will indeed be going back to vanilla as soon as I get a chance to do some configuration and testing for it. Impero was discussed here but given the high cost (we're a small school with declining numbers) we decided it was a little out of our reach.

They were indeed bought out, but given the product page is still sat active on RM's site and that RM want to keep billing us for upgrade-rights for new versions.. I had kind of expected there might be a new version at some point. Edit: Perhaps its just RM gouging schools for money to keep upgrade-rights on something they will never ever actually provide an upgrade for. Sigh.

Is this completely dead now? Not seen any updates since the first release of 8 (8.0.0.1) which was.. almost 2 years ago.

I tend to really dislike 'randomly' fixed as I never know if it's going to 'randomly' unfix itself later... Will keep a close eye on it! Thanks a lot for your help!

Apologies for double post but uh.. the icons seem to have spontaneously started showing? I've really no clue how that could have happened as I've not changed anything since I last posted, I just idly refreshed the page as I was closing some tabs and suddenly the tile icons appeared..

Hi Nick, Config is here: http://pastebin.com/bZM0EBSv I did try a clean one from the zip again and made no edits to it at all aside for removing the IIS8-unfriendly section. No difference so I don't *think* it's anything I did..
