In theory yes, but I assume you would have to get the caching server to re-register with Apple each time you change site. The link below explains really well how the system works and talks about the registration process I blog in a Scottish accent: Caching Server 2

Sorry, but did you ever try contact the developers? I just contact them direct whenever I had a problem and they were able to solve the problem almost instantly.

Not true ozydave. Using the Sync service manager you just expand the AD tree and tick next whatever OU's you want to sync. I have 6 different ou's sync'd and they are all on different branches of our AD tree.

I think Theblacksheep was implying that you have only done 1/2 the job if you patch straight in, not that he would only do a half arsed job himself! You know what happens when you ass-u-me!!

^^^ What he said ^^^ I had exactly the same problem when I first setup dirsync. I used the WiseSoft Bulk AD Users to change the UPN of all the existing students and then make sure that it is set when creating any new users. Also before all that you have to go into AD Domains and Trusts and add you email domain as an alternate UPN Suffix.

Yes and Yes. we have all student email bcc'd to a dummy account which we can go in a view if there is any reports of inappropriate emails. There is also a blocked words list which we have a rule set to forward any emails containing those emails directly to the deputy principal (behavior). The only issue with the words list is that you have to enter the words manually ie no bulk import from csv. I didn't really enjoy having to type some of the words

There is an option in Edmodo to forward all connections from specific IP's to your school subdomain. We have it set that way so when we get students to create accounts at the college they are automatically enrolled in our school group. It is in the school account settings.

We use Edmodo (secondary college) and the students love it. It works well on iPads (which all students have) and easy for the teachers to self manage their classes. Most of the staff find it easy to use and there are some good tutorials etc available for those who struggle.

We use two Ubiquiti nanostations to provide a wifi bridge in a situation almost identical to yours. Because of mounting restrictions I don't even have them pointing directly at each other (about 30deg off) and the signal is still strong. I got them for under AU$100 each with poe brick and would easily use them again. The college next to us is using some of the other Ubiquiti gear to provide a backup bridge 7.5 kms across town!

I have been told AUS/NZ pricing is going to be around the $600 mark Synack. Looks like we are getting screwed over again!

We are investigating setting up Webdav on a local server that the students can log into to access the files. It can all be done through IIS 7 apparently.

At least you guys get something worth looking at. This is what the school down the road had to put up with last year Raunchy teachers on Facebook | National News | Breaking National News in Australia | Warwick Daily News

A colleague at another school did that with his ZD as well. Out of memory he had to contact Ruckus Support and get them to remotely log into the unit and reset it for him. Sorry but not the news you probably wanted.

We use local profiles for all users with no redirections. I have forced some desktop shortcuts via GPP's and trim out the start menu and desktop in the default profile when creating the image. The students can rename icons as much as they want because when they log off the profile is wiped from the local machine. This is done by adding them to the domain guests group. So far I haven't had any major problems with this. Staff all have a dedicated machine so I let them do whatever they want. If it comes in broke and it takes more then 5 minutes to fix then it just gets a re-image.

I've almost finished migrating our entire college over to Win 7 and I'm glad to see the end of XP. Yes it was a great OS but it is almost 10 years old and I felt it was time to move on. I too feel that win7 runs better on some of our machines than XP did and certainly runs the big programs (ie autocad and corel) faster.
