No I ment, if you just wanted to build it yourself and not using moodle, it would be far easier. Moodle can support this, if you use Moodle LDAP to auth

You can use PHP_LDAP plugin, which is built in to bind to AD using the username, if it fails - the password is wrong. Its a simple PHP script, Ill put one together for you if you want?

Okay, Secondary School here , roughly 49ish devices. Configuration of iPads using Apple Configurator to apply trust certificates and to "supervise" the device. Configuration also includes installing Paid Apps [*]Enrolment into Profile Manager MDM (Built into OS X Server) [*]Restrictions and Free Apps pushed OTA via MDM [*]Individual device restrictions applied also in the Settings Menu to lock down Accounts, Location Settings, etc. I also like to check up on them from time to time, as I worked hard on getting stuff right. For Paid App deployment AFTER configuration, I have to plug each one in and install from Configurator, but it also gives me an opportunity to update the apps and remove all the photos and videos. Regarding storage, We have an iPad trolley (x2) from ICT Direct. Regarding iOS updates, It wont get through our firewall - So i plug them in and use iTunes. Regarding backups, we never bother as its so easy to build a new one from scratch. If you need any help at all, PM me

Point is, is that iOS does not have a proper readable file system - Its all inside the app's themselves. They would have to re-write and add a file system capable of actually supporting folders and proper enterprise level stuff, but they won't do this because they have a vision for all the shiny iOS devices to be used by consumers, people who do not care what file system they have, but at the same time - They also love pushing this stuff into Education. Madness.

SSO is announced, but the other two have not been. But Apple have not said in much detail about SSO, and I wouldnt be surprised if they removed the WebDav feature from Pages and Keynote, its so legacy.

I think it was Windows 8, as they showed iWork on the Web using Windows 8

If there is no user assigned, it will show the device name on the lock screen.

Looks a bit like a kitchen bin, but the specs in it are mindblowing

It was announced today that iOS 7 is finally getting in-app VPN along with streamlined MDM Enrolment and Managed app configuration. What other feature do you hope that iOS brings for us administrators of these devices in education?

Install the auth features, go to Windows Features - Web Server and tick the relevant boxes.

Let's hope that is released at Today's WWDC.

I built a cloud based solution that they just upload them to using web browser.

MySQL is your best bet, its robust and can handle millions of rows - I once got mine up to 16 million rows, but then the project closed Tip: Its important to use the correct DB Engine - Research MyISAM vs InnoDB

Yeah, I used WHM - Account Functions - Create a new account.

I just tried it on my cPanel, works fine for subdomains.

Are you using the same Apple ID? If so grab a gift card, top it up and manually pay for it on each machine, as VPP does not yet support In-App purchasing

It is all witchcraft, who knows how it works. Haha, lock screens are fun. Our's is just a picture of our logo with a lovely shade of blue

Roaming for staff, Mandatory for the kids. Ah now we allow the staff to customize their start screen, the appData files just give links to shortcuts like Tabtip.exe for the keyboard and other usful links. We already redirect all our start menus for different areas of the school, and the staff using Windows 8 can view this by swiping up and tapping All apps. Edit: Yeah, we don't use AppsFolderLayout.bin

The policy applies all the time, and because Staff only have Windows 8, it is sort of customised around them. Yeah I ment itemdata-ms not msdata, Sorry! Its location is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Two files, appsFolder.itemdata-ms and appsFolder.itemdata-ms.bak. Every time someone logs in, it copies that to their AppData - They then have to log off and back on again for the changes to take effect though, as GPP is applied after the start screen is.

This document is interesting and highlights that PRISM isn't secret, it is "publicly" known about since 2008. http://www.dni.gov/files/documents/Facts%20on%20the%20Collection%20of%20Intelligence%20Pursuant%20to%20Section%20702.pdf

Hi, Setup for us is done via Apple Configurator + VPP to install paid apps, then we use Profile Manager (Included with OS X 10.7+ Server) to push updates and settings OTA. I assign devices into groups and apply settings for groups like global proxy and restrictions. Teacher iPads are placed into a different group with less restrictions applied and webclips etc. Tip: It is always best to supervise your devices, that way you can remove iMessage and lock stuff down even more. But the built-in settings app is really handy - It allows me to stop people creating email accounts on the devices - But its a pain that I have to do it manually on each device. If you need any more information, let me know.

If you go to the menu, click Preferences then click Lock Screen. You can set it so the name of the student appears on the lock screen.

Windows 8 start screen customization - Customize the start screen Copy the msdata file or w/e from %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs to a central location Setup GPP Files to copy that file to the local machine when the user logs in.

Check your python script (Or even post it here)? Or even just check Permissions to their home areas? Its worth a try
