I built one that does that when you login, but as it is tailor made for my school then I wont be able to share it with you (And it was done in my work hours etc) EDIT: Don't give each PC its own Table, give each PC its own row and maybe do backups of the data so you still have old data available? Basically; Built in C# EXE Runs at Logon: Inserts current logged on user into a table with time and date Uses WMI to call specific functions relating to disk space etc to add/update to a global database table of all our PCs EXE Runs at Logoff: Removes the current logged on user from the CURRENT_USERS table Loops through all user browsing history into a table

We have decided to re-build pfSense, it gives us the support we need really, and is always there for the future if we wish to do firewall and routing etc.

Hi, We used to have a Squid3 box that provided filtering then passed it to the upstream LEA filter. We then switched to a pfSense box running Squid, its been slower than our old configuration. Today it decided to have a fit and die, it now no longer boots without me manually editing a bootloader file, so decided to rebuild it. So what is best, flat linux with Squid3 or pfSense again? Thanks!

You just need to have a different Apple ID to the VPP one, as VPP apps can be redeemed on any Apple ID Breakdown (Example): iPad and iTunes are signed into ipad@schooldomain VPP account is on vpp@schooldomain ipad@schooldomain can still redeem any VPP codes bought using vpp@schooldomain

I downloaded a version of Theme Hospital that someone had re-written for HTML5, it was pretty cool as I loved played the original

Just need the Server app which can be purchased onto any Mac running 10.7+ - Configure Profile Manager - Enroll your devices into Profile Manager - Push free apps OTA without user end passwords (Paid apps coming soon, apparently)

We use Xibo, its very good and so do a lot of other people here.

But if you push apps from a mac server that the devices are enrolled in, it does not require end user password

Once a code is redeemed on an iPad, it cannot be transferred. But as VPP licensing is changing from codes to licenses, it may be possible in the future

The iPad can only be connected to the Mac that supervised it.

Because you are here to learn, not to play minecraft?

Guided Access, locked down to 1 app. (This app)

Im in the process of building one; You load up the iPad, login with your AD credentials (Calling a custom build web-based back end in PHP), it then checks the bind - If good - Redirects user to a custom start screen with teacher-customizable apps and access to their home area. Using the built in Guided Access to lock it down. Excuse the Junk.txt files, they are there for testing

I only don't like W8 because its management is crap. (From a IT view) Love it on my Touchscreen Notebook!

We use Teachers2Parents, its pretty good. Use SIMS to import the data and its easy to text all parents then.

You are best off waiting for the new version of VPP coming. It allows for licenses instead of codes, and those licences can be revoked if someone leaves.

Yeah hopefully this September maybe

No it isn't sorry, Apple won't accept it through. No what it is is a one way thing, working on getting it two way in the future. The students write something in pages, they use the share button which opens the iOS share sheet, they tap the app, sign in using ldap and it gets uploaded to home area. Yeah, using profile manager means no interaction the other end as its a trusted mac source.

New features released on WWDC session. Also, session also discussed supervising devices ota instead of tether. Looking forward to the wallpaper one very much. PS: that little user icon next to stuff means devices have to be supervised.

Oh and for no interaction from you when installing apps, you need to use Profile Manager. Meraki and other 3rd party MDMs don't support this.

1. Yes, that is what a MDM does 2. If you have a mac server try Profile Manager or try Meraki if you don't. You can push apps and restrictions etc. 3. I had to build my own app they could login to active directory and then use the share sheet to put it in there. They are not designed to do this as they are 1:1 devices.

I would personally do it in PHP - Use a function called simplexml_load_file Here is an example of how I use it to produce timetables on our intranet page: $xml = simplexml_load_file("upload/timetablesoutput.xml"); foreach ($xml->Record as $item){ $name = explode(" ", $item->Student); $subject = strtoupper($item->Subject); $teacher = $item->Staff_x0020_Code; $date = explode("T", $item->DOB); if($subject == "") {}else{ $sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `timetable` (`name`, `dob`, `form`, `subject`, `period`, `staff`, `room`) VALUES ('$name[0] $name[1]', '$date[0]', '$name[3]', '$subject', '$item->Period', '$teacher', '$item->Room');"); } } So it runs through the file, gets the elements and then inserts them into a Database for me, but you would need to get it to display live data, so instead of using mysql_query, use echo and just print it to the page. EDIT: What is EduGeek doing to my code, its word wrapping it...

Lightspeed MDM is on the same level as Meraki

Try disk part and format it to ntfs Google is your friend

iPads are first of all, not multi user devices. Buying foldr is a massive strain off yourself in terms of support. Teachers can't get their head around; They are NOT PCs. They are simply not designed for enterprise work. A MDM is the second step to a good rollout, but key is proper wireless. Btw, I was in your shoes in terms of 'here's some iPads, make them work'. It took my a lot of research to make our rollout stable and robust. Any help on anything iPad related, PM me
