just to say thanks, request to deploy to 'all staff laptops' for next week just came in. why they all need it i dont know

Not so far for any hard wired device. Are these wireless devices? We maily have lenovo laptops for student use but there is one batch of ASUS powerbooks that seem to drop wifi about 1 per hour for 20 seconds. some sort of driver issue but have not had time investigate yet.

Qwite a few models over recent years, anything after 2017 should use there new interface but I have not used the new Google education interactive screens (Google EDLA certified) so cant say if they use a difrent interface. Unfortunatly I have just relised my it tech has only recorded them as iiyama iteractive screen in our asset database so will update this post once they have recorded the model numbers. We just installed another 'TE 12-B3 series' 65" that has the same remote optional interface replacing a ctouch brand that failed. We have also used some cheep large button programable remotes works fine aslong as you have atleast one working remote to program it from. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Geemarc-Universal-programmable-Requires-Original-Black/dp/B077BR15TH?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.32FrKNSOiiKv87XtR9u4bICIg3Dz5tKvjeUh0ckGL66KcNHaFXECry4Xu0nu-FuYlZB0Ek28HB3CmfhpkLpv3RYTPEA_4FUeR3S-KdzdoFEHTLn_B8uzHz2lwA9uShJL7dHv8ClrIFxw1nGDmVrDyDS9KeXc5z6t3AoRavuUfksdyRiSNQXGJfL0jfHvVviTCZb9231rtpO4Q0LCaPbAty8yCf7-2ubsag747Y1nS_k.MY8Z4uyObu4SImWhC8DMPGhVLF27Bg5oabBvjN6mIro&dib_tag=se&keywords=programmable%2Bremote%2Bcontrol&qid=1741773329&sr=8-7&th=1

Use the local Impero, most of the time its fine but has just enouth issues to be annoying. Cloud hosted is much more expensive and cant do WOL as networrk packet cant cross subnets. you would need a local server to send the packet(proxy) as its 'Layer 2'.

Got a Prusa MK2 long ago, since then have upgraded it to a MK3 Multi material and got the new XL. School has also replaced there makerbot with prusa MK4 and a Prusa mini. basicly they are very reliable workhorses and as the software is free its simple to deploy to all the computers we want to. other consideration is they are EU made and regulated as a company so its simple to ensure complaiance with regulations. much harder with random cheap chinese printers. Bambolabs also make a good product and if we had not had a prusa may have been the one we went for as a department.

iiyama has become our standard. whist overs have it the fact you dont need the remote that staff love to lose is great. all functions can be acessed from the touchscreen itself e.g freeze, volume, input etc...

Hoping this is a badly worded blog post but do others read this as all school students will need MFA mobile app or FIDO2 usb? If anyone has a decent contact at Microsoft can they reach out and see if I need to be ordering mass FIDO2 keys for September? https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/core-infrastructure-and-security/microsoft-will-require-mfa-for-all-azure-users/bc-p/4141341

here is the link to the updated page to monitor for changes. tipicly the rss feed has helpfull details like "2 urls updated" you then just have to work out which one e.g notepadd++ and compare the list with last one you setup. note some of the *. e.g *.portal.cloudappsecurity.com can be replaces with ones with your tennant ID included in the URL but you need to work out which ones depends how locked down your policies for firewalls are. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges?view=o365-worldwide this azure page has others if you have moved some servers to the azure cloud personaly not needed these yet https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/environment/firewall-integration#fqdn-httphttps-dependencies

Split up and limit acess. idealy just use the onedrive website and stay online all department folders teams sites etc.. a user has acess to are auto shown below there personal onedrive. As everyone is pointing out the way sync works is via behind the scenes notifications not to bad if you have a decent internet conection/ fast firewall and decent laptops but honestly a busy masive singular shared document library will case trafic when staff first log in. also recomend the traditional start menu shortcuts pointing to webpages keeps the older staff happy even if everyone else uses the school homepage.

not been asked to impliment it yet but turnitin seems to be the UK prefered Plagiarism/AI checker service https://www.turnitin.co.uk/solutions/topics/ai-writing/ i do beleve microsoft have some tools in the works but never seen a date yet for when they will be ready. turn it in were offering a discount so may be worth a email to see on pricing as it is very easy to intergrate with teams assignments etc..

do you have the latest changes to the microsft URL 'whitelist' for your firewall inplace and recently i have seen our sonicwall firewall block MS edge SSO as it sees the trafic as a match for a socilmedia app. About 1 in every 200 logins seem to get affected so far not always the same app is matched so presume microsoft are using some new obscureing code not a traditional HTTPS URL for login specificly seem to affect Edge which ofcause Office uses for the login. If its the same the same users who get asked in a loop to sign into office will also see the profile selection screen when opening edge.

Davinci Resolve has face/point tracking doubt sending the unredacted footage to a 3rd party would fly well with our DPO. softwere is free but dose have a steep learning curve but its what i use reguly. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve Depending on your orgs interpritation and what the request is, we have done the reverse track the singular face, adjust size to what you want then blur the rest of the image e.g only the requestee of the data subject request face is unblurd. a quick follopwup pass if another face gets into the unblured region.

Mock Exam time again. I was hoping to use endpoint.microsoft.com to setup a few laptops in autosign in multi app kiosk mode but cant find the AUMID for examWritepad for the installed MSI v4.1.9.0 dose the msi not register as a app in the start menu? unfortunatly the windows cloud kiosk mode needs this AUMID number to compleate the form even though we also specifi the .exe location.

https://www.advancedinstaller.com/free-license.html Advanced installer still offer free licences you just have to email and explain why you deserve one . May I request MSIX in addition to MSI to cover SCCM/intune/Store cloud deployment if you go down the msi route. If you want I may get time to put together a example MSI over the weekend to PM you, but for deployment you would want a proper certificate signed package to host on your website. ExamWritePad should be simple it is the VC and .net installers that would be trickier to include in the msi. but if you offer a msi it should include everything so it just works for the user.

I have used https://www.advancedinstaller.com/ for this in the past but they have removed the free licence but if you can find a older version of the installer it would work i use 15.3. I have not used it for ExamWritePad but For making MSI font packages but it is perfectly capable of making a msi to copy files and folders. The free licence prevents distribution unless ExamWritePad is open source.
