You can select all users in an OU > Right Click > Properties > Account > tick the tick box for user must change password at next logon. Doing it this way will depend on the size of your school I guess but is a quick manual process.

Another way to navigate to cmd in explorer is to press shift+alt+right click and it appears in the menu.

We have a whole mixture of stuff with Salamander. This year we had them create all our Google Classroom classes for our teachers and students. I'm always keeping an eye on their blog to see what else they release.

We use https://www.mendmyi.com/ . Quite reasonable.

Unsure about the quote but we're currently getting a new website created by e4education - Home. Our marketing team is dealing with it but this company focuses on education only.

I had this on Jamf and it was because there was already a ghost record in our database for that app to be installed on those specific iPads getting that error. It was trying to assign the app using the old license rather than the new one I setup. I had to get Jamf support to help find the cause and they gave me some SQL commands to run to refresh all our VPP Licenses.

2004 here!

We're using Google Apps as our SSO and it works very well. Not had any issues since putting it in.

We have not turned on "allow offline working" for our users. Will the app work offline if it loses internet connection even thought this feature isn't turned on in the SIMS user portal? We've now turned it on for all our users to see if this helps.

Not something we use but this has been mentioned in another thread: Feem v3 - Wi-Fi File Transfers between Phones, Tablets and PCs.

On our Inventry app we have a a Full MIS register under Student Rolls. This gives us a list of all students that have been registered at some point in the current day. The only issue with this is it doesn't work out if a student has signed out.

MLS here also. Not really had any issues. Can be a bit of a nightmare when you need to do new intakes.

Unboxing is only part of it. We have to asset tag them and then put them into cases. This is why we've got an IT administrator and apprentice.

Student Numbers: 1500 (across 5 sites) Staff Numbers: 250 Full time and quite a few part time IT Staff: Our team is 7 which consists of IT Administrator, IT Technician, IT Apprentice, Senior IT Technician, Network/Systems admin, AV Guy and an IT Manager. Servers: (virtual/physical) 40 Computers: (desktop/terminals) 200 Laptops: 40 iPads: 1100

We've been sat with some teachers as they've done it and it says "Saved".

Getting some staff report that their attendance taking is saying saved but it's not showing up in SIMS. Have some more staff saying they're adding comments to mark sheets via the teacher app and it's not saving to the SIMS database. Is there any logging we can check to see if they're saving it correctly?

If you're sure DNS is correct it's worth checking event logs for group policy settings being applied. Group policy gives up after 15 mins if it can't apply it's settings.

I have 3 reports which run to get the data I need. I have to then manually manipulate the data to fit the Apple School Manager CSV templates. The first report is to get all the Staff details > First name, Surname, Staff Code(we use this as their login username), Work Email The Second report is based on teaching staff using Lessons > Class name, Class Teacher, Staff Code and Subject Code. My third report is based on students using Firstname, Second name, school email, year group > Classes, class name of the class. This should get the minimal data you need to then format correctly into the ASM CSV files.

You can use the restrictions profile to prevent access to specific apps. Or only allow specific apps. This will hide the settings app. Edit: Ignore what I've just said. As mentioned below the restrictions profile doesn't allow you to remove the settings app.

Ah yes, I see now. Thanks

I can only see System Centre 2016 Standard edition and Datacentre edition. Is System Centre a new name for Server 2016 or is system centre a special version of server 2016?

I just had this. Each time I've gone to log a technical support call I can't because our Controller isn't listed under our assets. We then have to go through via Customer Services which takes about 3 days to get a response. I made a huge deal out of it this time round and they've now added our Serial number to our account so we can log a Technical support call straight away. And they're much quicker at responding than Customer Services.

Just rang them and it seems okay. The line was very crackly so couldn't hear them very well but it's 11am and they answered. Got the number off this page: https://www.clickview.co.uk/contact-us/ Had an English accent so I guess it is still in the UK. The support email address are all co.uk

Microsoft: We're hiking UK cloud prices 22%. Stop whining: It's the Brexit ? The Channel Wonder if this will affect education pricing.

Have you checked with re-sellers such as Jigsaw? I think they do a jumpstart which involve setting it up and some training but I don't know the costs.
