We use Explain Everything on our 1:1 ipads. Very good app!

This is something we've just learnt to live with. We didn't like it at first but we'd rather have this then give people shared credentials.

We're still listed on their site: https://www.apple.com/uk/education/apple-distinguished-schools/ It also has some information at the bottom on how to become one. They say invite only so not sure how you can get that invite.

We use to be an apple distinguished school. We might still be but I'm not sure if it needs renewing every so often. I wasn't involved in it so not sure of requirements. We had someone work for us that went on to work for the apple education department.

I'm wondering if there is a group policy that is causing this issue. Maybe a default app association GPO?

I can't help with OPs issue but I can post a link that will more help on identifying insecure ldap binds:

We have to use Internet Explorer. I think we also have to add a website to the trusted websites list. Been a while since installing it but I remember it being a pain.

I had this issue for a while but never needed a reason to fix it due to internet was working. Since using Google Drive File stream I think the API uses this as an indicator to see if the machine is online. This stopped Google Drive file stream from syncing for many of our users so had to spend time looking into it. I tried a lot of things but the one that fixed it for us was to create a reg key that changed the default hop count. On this website: https://support.umbrella.com/hc/en-us/articles/230900948-Umbrella-Roaming-Client-Microsoft-Windows-Limited-Network-Connectivity-Warning-Yellow-Triangle- Ctrl+F : "Adjust Passive Polling Parameters" I think it has something to do with the default max hop count being set to 8. So if there's more than 8 hops, it thinks you don't have internet.

I can't see how they can force people to use wireless to charge their devices. I can't imaging sitting on my sofa with a wireless charging unit stuck to the back of the ipad whilst trying to use it.

Depends on the setup I guess. Our setup is: Open ExamWritePad to Splash screen > select new exam > enter candidate details and click save button > save file to location > Popup box to confirm file has been saved > file > print. I can see why having a print option on the splash screen would help test printing.

My feeling is that they don't want any liability which is why they don't provide any good instructions on how to run a WP exam. They just give some basic details and leave it up the IT team to do the rest and sort out. So if anything goes wrong, it's the IT teams fault and not the exam board. Just my opinion anyway. I hope you're able to get this product used by more schools as it works really well and helps us a lot.

Someone may have gone into settings and turned it off?

I saw this lol. Made a joke to one of our techs that our students with ipads might start doing it. We already get enough broken iPads! (Maybe they're doing it already )

My WSUS was crashing often and I found that increase the IIS WSUS App Private Memory Pool helped: https://www.404techsupport.com/2016/03/21/iis-wsus-private-memory/

Nope, location services can't be controlled from the MDM. This is a restriction from Apple's end as their framework doesn't allow MDMs to control it.

This came up on reddit the other day:

This is the email we received earlier.

This is what we do still. I've thought about letting the exams team know about other bits of software for clocks or even the exam clock website but then I thought it would just be another thing IT would have to do and make sure worked. I'd rather them stick to using their own wall clocks.

Can you see any pending commands on the iPads. I don't use airwatch but must be similar to Jamf. There should be an edu profile generated automatically from airwatch when ever any edu changes are made to classes. If you have a lot of devices/classes, this might take some time to generate (not thinking days here, maybe an hour or so). Do the classes look okay in Airwatch? Are you importing the new users into Airwatch from ASM?

We do this via an XML file in the scripts folder. It creates a drop down list on the litetouch wizard. Can't remember which guide I followed but just googled this: It's worth noting that this only works if the machine is not in AD already. If the machine is already in AD it will stay in the same OU it is currently in when re-imaging.

Not very familiar with this stuff but could it have something to do with you select all the Email types? :Inbound, outbound, internal sending, internal receiving. Surely you just need to have Internet Sending selected?

It wouldn't even load the WinPE if this was the case I believe. I'm getting the same error as OP at one of my sites and can't figure it out. We don't have option 44 configured on any of our DCs. I'm going to try turning off their DC as it's just used as a backup to see if that works for me. Can't get over there to test it though for a while.

I'm currently updating our MDT to deploy a bios configuration to turn machines on every Sunday at 11pm. I then have a WSUS group policy to apply updates every Sunday. We've always had a scheduled shut down group policy to turn machines off on an evening.

Possibly. We've not tested it. I do have this in my install folder but not part of the install script. I created this a while a go so no sure what it was for: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Environment]"ANDROID_HOME"="C:\\AndroidSDK"

We installed android studio this year for our Computer Science course. Not sure if they're actually using it yet though. The installation is quite large but quite straight forward. Each user has to set their own settings which is the only annoying part. There is an option to import settings but I couldn't find a way to do this via command line. android-studio-ide-183.5692245-windows.exe /S /Allusers mkdir "C:\AndroidSDK"
