Double check to make sure the SharePoint Online module actually installs but that does work. I managed to get the "Copy Library ID" link to appear as well. I will find the steps I had to make to get that working and post them up as well.

What script are you using to get the Library ID from? Presumably you have set the variables correctly in that powershell script?

Yeah so you should end up with a string like "tenantId=11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111&siteId={11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111}&webId={11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111}&listId={11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111}&folderId=11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111&webUrl=https://DOMAIN.sharepoint.com/sites/SITENAME&version=1". You can then copy that into Group Policy or Intune and it will auto map.

So if you copy the whole string from the orignal powershell script which starts with tennantID and paste that into this [uri]::UnescapeDataString("PASTE HERE") then it should do all the conversion for you. You can do it manually by following this table though. The special characters in this copied string are in Unicode and need to be converted to ASCII according to the following table. [TABLE=width: 940] [TR] [TH=align: left]Find[/TH] [TH=align: left]Replace[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]%2D[/TD] [TD]-[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]%7B[/TD] [TD]{[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]%7D[/TD] [TD]}[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]%3A[/TD] [TD]:[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]%2F[/TD] [TD]/[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]%2E[/TD] [TD].[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/use-group-policy You need to change the %2D and the like to a character like on that Microsoft site. I done the same thing until I read that article. Or you can copy the ID and pass it into this powershell command [uri]::UnescapeDataString("Copied String") and that will give you what you need to put into the GPO or Intune setting.

We are a secondary school of around 1200 users. It would be great to try and save the admin time and reduce the amount spent on postage and any unnecessary printing. Would hopefully avoid any data entry errors from the admin staff. What was the cost? or the their Pricing strategy? I can't seem to find that on their website at all.

Good Morning, I have been asked to look at Applicaa as a solution to paperless admissions/applications. Is anyone using this or have any alternatives that they are using which link directly into SIMS? Cheers

I have managed to get it working as a user policy as well now. I think I was just being incredibly inpatient.

I have managed to get it working with Intune now as well. Out of interest with GPO are you applying it in User or Computer context? I can only seem to get it working as a computer policy.

Has anyone managed to get the policy "Configure team site libraries to sync automatically" working at all? I am trying to get this to map through an InTune policy as I am trying to avoid any custom scripts.

Good Morning, Wondering if anyone can help or has any ideas. I have got a load of Windows laptops joined to Azure AD using RADIUS authentication to join the wireless. Currently it is setup to use the users AD logins to join the network but this is causing problems when the users AD passwords expire. Has anyone managed to use an Azure AD group for RADIUS authentication? The idea is to have a group of the laptop devices authenticating for wireless access. Thanks

https://www.salamandersoft.co.uk/sds/ Is that what you're going to use the free utility one? Or have you purchased a full Salamander package? If its that free one I'd be interested to know how you get on with it. Thanks,

So for my issue I had to log a case through here https://edusupport.microsoft.com/support and then I have ended up in communcation with our SDS Deployment Manager, who I never knew existed. We are still having issues but he has been good at communication and remoting on with me. I don't know how it can be so difficult for Capita and Microsoft to work out. I worked with Salamander at a previous school and it managed to do it just fine. If only I had the budget for that here.

So I took over from a network manager who had took the plunge with Teams using Yealink Teams handsets. I have just replaced it after 3 months with 3CX. Teams is so far off being a fully functioning phone system in my opinion. Couple of years and it will possibly be alright.

I second Snipe-IT. Implemented it at a couple of schools now and works really well

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try and see if I can get it working.

Morning, If you could post more information that would be great!

Good Afternoon, I have taken over a school which has a custom written signage solution. It is essentially a webpage with javascript and php to display images and a few other bits. This includes a clock which also shows which period of the school day it is, as well as a graph of house points which are extracted from SIMS. I want to make this easier to manage for my team and for anyone new who starts. I have installed and set up Xibo but would like to keep the clock and house points display. The question is how would I be able to do this as I can't seem to embed the php in the Xibo layout? Thanks

Could just disable the OWA? I had to do that for a company previously. Can powershell it for all users.

Snipe IT https://snipeitapp.com/ Is a really good freeware/open source option. I have implemented it in a few schools.

Hey, Is anyone using Class OneNotes? If so how have you implemented it and how is it working for you? Got a few issues here which don't make too much sense. Cheers,

I was going to go through and delete all the groups and recreate and resync SDS but I think that would make me worse off by the sounds of it! I will have to give Capita a shout and see if they actually have a solution.

With SDS when it creates the classes from SIMS it seems to have created 2 Office 365 groups per class. One with seemingly just the teachers and another with the students as members as well, should this be the case? Also emailing these Office 365 groups does not appear to be working?

Just want to quickly jump in on this one and ask a quick question. With devices that are running purely on Azure AD and run through AutoPilot are you using the MAK Key to license them or KMS Key? And are you licensing them through the Edition Upgrade profile in InTune? Thanks

I have looked at bookings but we only have Office 365 A1 Plus licensing so its not included, and we do not have money to get anything new.
