Hi, I’ve been asked to deploy Visual Studio in one of the IT rooms, but I’m a little cautious as I’m not sure what level of access the students will have or what they’ll be able to run. Has anyone deployed Visual Studio for students before? If so, how did you approach it and were there any issues? Thanks

Thanks for all the answers. Just one more question please. When we set cover, it automatically has the cover staff lessons on the left. Can we still use and link it to a supply user for example if its attached to the supply email? They can also see the cover work on the documents to the right hand side. Thanks

Hi, We’ve recently moved over to using Arbor. When supply staff arrive for the day, we create their accounts in Arbor and they’re given their own username and password. Is there a simple way for them to sign in using Office 365, similar to how staff do? How are others schools managing this? Thanks

I have just had a quick look and the Microsoft List view looks like a really simple solution. Thanks for all the advise.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have been looking into the spiceworks device inventory, it looks like it gathers all the Service tag info applications etc too. Has anyone used this for IT asset managment? Thanks

Hi I am looking to move away from our current IT asset management system IRIS and explore alternative solutions that others are using. One feature we find particularly useful is the ability to use QR codes on mobile devices, so I’d be interested in options that support something similar. Thanks

Forget that I was looking in user and not computer policy!!!

Hi, I am planning moving all student home areas to OneDrive. I have had a look at the Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool and ran a manual test and can confirm that this works. In regards to the bulk migration I understand you can use an excel csv to do this, however how do I get all the students OneDrive locations and mapping to the users home folders? Is this the best way or have others used anything else? Thanks
