@liamrobinson Great work! would FE colleges be allowed to use ExamPad+ as well? The branding mentions Primary and Secondary Schools, but we’d really like to trial it in a college if that’s ok. Thank you in advance.

We use Net2JsonRestServer from intoaccess that links into NET2. costs about £1k. We use it to push info from our ID card system into Net2 and set access on the card/token, all automated with scripts we've written after the card is printed. Net2JsonRestServer does loads but we only use it for syncing card info and which doors will open for that card, https://www.intoaccess.com/?page_id=843

Hi, Have you seen https://www.vivi.io/. We looked at it about 5 years ago (Good product and it looks even better now). We decided to get bigger touchscreens at the time but it's a product we would look at again. Good luck.

Just share what we do. Might not suit your needs. We use breakfast worktop in most of our computer rooms (900mm/800mm deep) so the students have space to write as well. Then you could use all-in-ones for a small footprint on the desk or mount the computer under the desk. In our language labs we've installed shelves above the monitors to place the keyboards on, which gives the student more space on the desk for written lessons. Simple and it seems to work for us. We get about 20 computers all facing into the room so staff can see all the screens. A few standard classroom tables in the middle as a block. Then the room can be used for an IT lesson, just lecturing to the students or both.

We've been good at switching equipment off for years just because why does it need to be left on after hours. Photocopiers - Make sure power settings are set but are balanced not to annoy the user . ie screen switch off after x mins Registration units, raspberry pis with 9" screen(Used for attendance in each classroom ) - Switch off the PoE out of college hours, with them staying off in holidays. switching back on at 7am Computers / classroom laptops - from 17.00 a PowerShell script (Written in house) runs. If there's a user still logged in stop and try again every 30 mins up to 22.00 where the computer is forced shutdown. Before the computer shuts down. The script fires off and waits for Adobe RUM to download and install updates (If installed), if there's a pending restarts because of Windows updates, restart then shutdown. If the computer hasn't checked in with SCCM for a while force it to check windows updates, again give it time to check in and then shutdown. So by 17.30 - 18.00'ish 4000 computers are switched off. Then by 22.00 after evening classes most equipment should be off. Laptops taken home, almost the same process but if the user is logged in an application (Again written in house) with a countdown is shown. 10 mins to cancel the shutdown or mouse movement cancels the shutdown. Server room, air con is set to something like 22, saving a lot of money.

We use Prowise screen, excellent equipment. Just had 45 of them delivered today. Anything bigger than 75" and/or the wall won't hold the screen (Weight) we also purchase the iPro Wall Lift G2 so the screen can go up and down. So the screen can be set to the correct height for the user. Our rooms can have 5-7 different members of staff using it per day We don't use the Prowise software (It does look good thou) just because 365 is enough. Ask for a demo screen to be sent and have a play.

HI, I can't remember having problems of missing manifest files. The instructions were a life saver. I'm not updating UE5 until next month. Having a quick check I'm copying three files down, two for UE and the third for RocketLeague We're running on Win 10 Ent x64 20H2.

The really long replies from WhatLemons at the top (Sorted by Best). Yes, I install the launcher but I think you can get away with creating a shortcut straight to UE4Editor.exe. In the instructions there's a bit about changing the launcher shortcut. Everything is installed in its default install locations (Program files), and users just use their standard domain accounts. Have fun!

Hi, Yes we deploy it silently with SCCM, have a look at this it might help you. I've used it few times now. July, I packaged up UE5 early release using it. Our computers are locked down and run applocker and it works for us. Not going to lie, it took a 2/3 days to get in all working. Then we update the package a few times a year. Hope the above helps.

Hi Eddyc, Unfortunately I can't share it. It's a custom program which will only work with the college system. Basically the core of the program, get an install list from the the web server (example L:\SoftwareA\install.cmd, L:\SoftwareB\install.cmd). Then the program just works through the list. At the end, deletes itself and restarts the computer. If I get Autodesk 2022 working in the future with SCCM I'll share it.

Sorry a bit of a pointless post because it won't help you. Just want to share my pain as well. I had the same issue, all installed fine manually but through SCCM it wasn't having it. Spent most of last week on this (3ds max, AutoCAD, Maya and Mudbox 2022). I couldn't get them to work with SCCM OSD. The installers kept on crashing/hanging and the logs were useless. I didn't bother going through support because it's shocking! (Had the same problem with products not showing in the portal last year and the reg once website had constant issues. 3-4 weeks to solve it). It sounds like it's a know issue and Autodesk is being a bit slow to fix it. It seems a common problem on Autodesk's forums. Here are a couple of links I found. Might help you. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/autodesk-2022-products-not-installing-with-sccm-osd/td-p/10298214 https://www.reddit.com/r/SCCM/comments/npo24s/autocad_mechanical_2022_sccm_deployment/ In the end I took it out of SCCM and they get installed by a c# program I did for other well written installers which fail in SCCM. The program auto logs in and starts at the end of the task sequence. A 100% botch I know but installs every time. Life is too short to go through Autodesk support. I'll have another go at it in October.
