I am in the same boat as you OP. I have tested with Meraki and Lightspeed MDM. My workflow is as follows: Supervise with Apple Configurator(AC). Set a default profile on AC to restrict facetime, imessage, etc as this profile cannot be removed. We use a preconfigured image that has no Apps preinstalled but has icloud and itunes configured using a single Apple ID. Once they are in Supervised mode, I open the iPad and enter the password for icloud when prompted. This registers it with icloud ensuring that find my ipad works properly which is crucial to us. I then add the Lightspeed profile on the supervise tab of AC and refresh the device. The lightspeed profile has even further restrictions to ensure accounts cannot be modified and to force user to enter a password for every app purchase plus many other settings. Where we differ is we have a seperate VPP account. We purchase apps (you still need to purchase free apps for £0.00) and have linked it into our Lightspeed account. It pulls across all the purchased licences which are then pushed out to enrolled devices. It appears to work for free Apps. However I have not had a chance to purchase paid Apps to see if it will work.

Did they get back to you on this?

Our Schools Broadband Internet is slow today due to a hardware failure of a 3rd party supplier (Entanet). See here for further details. Entanet NOC We are seeing packet loss and extremely slow internet due to the failure although we are not totally cut off.

Hi I want to create a guest network and arent sure which way to go about it. We currently have multiple access points D-Link DWL-8600AP and a D-Link 3024L Controller. The access points are across the network and connected to different switches in different rooms. The controller is in a central cabinet along with the main network core switch. At the moment we have one SSID secured with WPA which is used by internal laptops. My question is how would I go about creating a guest SSID and VLAN it so that the guest traffic is routed to the router remembering that the router is in another cabinet than the core switch and the access points are also connected to multiple switches in different locations. Is that at all possible? Any help appreciated.

Decision on FCS for schools outside BGFL is to be expected before next years subscriptions are out. The subs will be out in December. Lots of stuff about firewall and mcafee producing reports but irrelevant to me as I am no longer on BGFL. Stuff about firewall can recognise applications which they can create rules for from my understanding. They will also be offering FTTC as an option now.

Filtering is actually more restrictive but I can add or remove websites and categories for staff and pupils separately. Image filter is better as it blocks images from the actual results page and just displays a big X on blocked images while still showing results. I have light speed filtering which others have so far said good things about. One thing that is an issue is youtube https which cannot be forced into youtube edu. But every filter software seems to have the same issue.

We have setup our new internet connection using the same scope and subnet settings. Our ADSL is just connected to one machine which we use to get the files from and move it via USB. We cannot use both connections(bridge) which is why we have it like that. It is the only solution I can think of until they provide a better one. It still works out cheaper and faster having two connections than just one 10mb from Link.

Yes I believe we pay the core part. We basically just dropped the Internet part to adsl. We still have mis licence, mis support and service desk with them. Can't understand why we would need service desk when we only call them for mis support which we pay a separate charge for. In an ideal world I would cancel the adsl part, cancel the service desk and just pay for the mis licence and support and anti virus. Policy central also doesn't work so had to sign up for securus. Wouldn't have minded paying them for policy central but they weren't offering any solutions for us as the pce server is internal on bgfl.

I'll be going. We've moved away but had to retain an adsl connection at a cost of £3k just for a bunch of files via fcs. Not at all happy with their service. I will do a write up about our move and the problems encountered and solutions. I'll post it here as soon as I get a chance to write it.

We use lightspeed and have the same problem with https youtube not working at all through chrome. We have youtube for schools enabled too. Havent been able to figure it out.

You're right. Connected on port 8080. The eportal instructions provided by link2ict initially did not include any information about that or any information regarding web services by IIS or tomcat. It was the bare minimum really. Rest of it was me poking around to get it working. If only I had this information from the start. Would've saved me a lot of headache. Also makes me wonder why the hell link2ict didn't just offer this information up to me about me not having to configure IIS at all. Like I said before, they just wanted to get some money out of me before doing anything. That small snippet of information about tomcat would've done the job.

Well if that is the case, it certainly didn't work for me. It only started working when IIS was properly setup. Who knows but atleast its working now....no thanks to link2ict ofcourse.

Check the instructions posted above. They are from advanced learning. IIS works with apache tomcat to serve the pages.
