Hi All I am looking for advice. I have 2 schools that share the same building and have 1 shared IT suite with 1 server between them. At present I use AD and NTFS to separate files and folders so each school can only see their own stuff, however each school wish to purchase a Microsoft 365 tenant northumberland.school1.org.uk and cumbria.school2.org.uk. my issues is they use the same pc's so how do i hook them up to two different tenants. i wondered if they could be hybrid networks with newcastle.org.uk as the top level domain and northumberland.school1.newcastle.org.uk as sub domain and cumbria.school2.newcastle.org.uk as subdomain2, my problem with this is i don't know if they could login with [email protected] or would it have to be [email protected]. the PC's would be joined to the newcastle.org.uk domain and pick up group policy from that. or is there a better option maybe without hybrid domains. anyone any ideas please. i have been given 5 days to configure everything from when we start and they would like to start Friday I want to leave it a while. thanks ian

Hi we are a 4 man team supporting 38 primary schools and they all use RM ranger. RM has dropped support and development for Ranger and since it does not support windows 10 and MS are stopping free down grade licencing, this will cause major issues. does anyone have any ideas on a Ranger replacement? or do people have gpo's for locking down desktop to the same level as Ranger would or scripts for bulk user import / password reset or just any advice and help on going vanilla? regards Ian
