We are not using Zoom and actively advising against it due to the various privacy, security and safeguard issues. The free version is not under the US child protection regulations, although if you sign up for the education version which is free it does.

Funnily enough I was looking at this today as well. Not found a solution yet though. According to this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-live-events/plan-for-teams-live-events all you need is O365 E1, E3, E5, A3 or A5, and Teams and Stream. Stream comes included with A3 and A5 and I can see it as an app in our licenses but it still won't work. Not sure if I am just missing something or I just don't have the right Stream license.

3cx. With a simple helpsheet staff were able to setup from home with no issues. We have it working on Smartphones using the app and Computers using the webclient, so no compatibility issues. Even our Receptionist can do everything from home as if she is at her desk.

I'm going for 245. As I think Nicole would have kept a tight control on the hordes eating any needed, but also would have been kind enough to buy extra and pass them round.

I bet they have attached a home account when signing in. I've not found the process that does this but have seen them. Check in Azure AD, and set the "Show" drop down to show "Guest users only". I've never seen them come up in GAL though so there may be a way to hide them.

I found I had to do it from Portal.office.com, you can add a group to the Teams group, but not directly to the team. I think. The last few days are starting to become a blur!

Ah, sorry. I thought you wanted to see all people who had a Teams Global license, or see who had Teams Student licenses. Apologies for the confusion.

Yep. Attached a pic of the steps. You do have to pick the policy type you want to look at.

I'd assign by group https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/licensing-groups-assign Save you a lot of time. Fb

You can, if I think you mean what I think you mean. On the Users page click the funnel. Then there is an option for Policy, choose your logic, then choose the policy.

I used this code: #Register test gallery. Only needs to be done once Register-PSRepository -SourceLocation https://www.poshtestgallery.com/api/v2 -Name PsTestGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted #Remove current teams module Uninstall-Module MicrosoftTeams -AllVersions #Install preview module Install-Module MicrosoftTeams -Repository PSTestGallery #Connect Teams module Connect-MicrosoftTeams #Connect Azure AD module Connect-AzureAD $group = Get-AzureADGroup -SearchString "GROUPNAME" $members = Get-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectId $group.ObjectId -All $true | Where-Object {$_.ObjectType -eq "User"} New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation -PolicyType TeamsMessagingPolicy -PolicyName "POLICYNAME" -Identity $members.UserPrincipalName -OperationName "RANDOMDESCRIPNAME" All caps words are to for you to change and you can change the PolicyType from TeamsMessagingPolicy to the policy you need from the following list: CallingLineIdentity, OnlineVoiceRoutingPolicy, TeamsAppSetupPolicy, TeamsAppPermissionPolicy, TeamsCallingPolicy, TeamsCallParkPolicy, TeamsChannelsPolicy, TeamsEducationAssignmentsAppPolicy, TeamsEmergencyCallingPolicy, TeamsMeetingBroadcastPolicy, TeamsEmergencyCallRoutingPolicy, TeamsMeetingPolicy, TeamsMessagingPolicy, TeamsUpdateManagementPolicy, TeamsUpgradePolicy, TeamsVerticalPackagePolicy, TeamsVideoInteropServicePolicy, TenantDialPlan

We've got Y as enforced enclosure. So if you were dreaming we dreamed it too.

You can only edit once the Package has been applied. Which is helpful! Many thanks

How have people edited the Policy Package. I can't seem to see anyway to create my own or edit the ones already there. Check your groups as I found at one point it can't handle nested groups.

And be aware it can take around 6 hours for policies to apply if you do them via Powershell. Not that I'm bitter about banging my head against that issue most of the day.

Salamander? Otherwise it will be a powershell script jobby.

Affects any system writing back to the MIS. We had this yesterday. Their work around doesn't work as if you wait a minute or two the wrong marks come back. They have no clue what it is and no clue how long it will take to fix. I'm glad they let you know but they were pretty tight lipped about it yesterday when we reported it until I chased it and they finally admitted it was a known issue. Bit unimpressed really.

I haven't used it but have had a demo and it looked great. Ciphr. Has a modular approach so you can pick and choose. Ties in with MIS so you can have single place entry, many use. Web based so everyone has their own portal to enter or access information.

Flight, maybe flock. If you are unimpressed by them maybe a buzz, or an annoyance? A perve of drones? Swarm to use the same as insect drones?

You can do GFS with Veeam, if that is what you are after. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/backup_copy_gfs.html?ver=100

Back in the day we had 3, one staff, one Student, one shared. If you were thinking of moving them to the Azure cloud would you not just use OneDrive and Sharepoint? So have no file servers?

Using MFA with the account you want to connect or not?

Book a weekly meeting that you only abandon for real emergencies or priority meetings. Use this meeting as R&D or CPD time. Investigate something you want to deploy or read up on a tech. If you book it then at least you can cancel it, if you don't it will never happen.

First, don't panic about it. One of the best pieces of advice from my first IT boss was that there is so much IT knowledge that you can't know it all and anyone that says they do is lying, so don't engage with them. Secondly unless you enjoy it don't go chasing knowledge just because you feel you should know it. By this I mean don't try researching everything because you feel your job expects you to, you will just set yourself up for failure, burn out or just get annoyed at yourself. Finally ensure you have the skills you need to research, the skills you need now and then keep an eye on what you may need. This is part of your overall planning, whether you are the IT manager or just starting out. Where is your network going and where do you want to go? No point learning AI tech and buzzwords if you don't like the look of that area and your school has no need for it. Maybe set yourself some research time, an hour a week say, booked as a meeting where you just engage in a project or research something that is necessary. What you are doing is good. Keep a document of things that catch your eye that may be useful or you want to look at more. Then you just have to make the judgement on if it is worth pursuing further. Most importantly if you are sticking with Windows systems, as HPlum78 says, learn Powershell.

I still like this one
