Is it possible to use Cisco phones as bell system? Sending out a chime to all Cisco phones in a building?

As a K-12 School district, what legal responsibilities do we have when it comes to providing Wifi? Our current system provides a Guest-WIFI, guest username and password that the students, parents, and whomever can use for personal devices. We have opened up a BYOD SSID, and we allow students and teachers to bring in one device, registered through Airwatch to access it. We wanted to shut down the Guest-Wifi, forcing staff and students to use the BYOD, giving us the ability to see who is using our system and for what. The powers that be gave us a hard No, in fact, they want the username and password to be removed from the Guest-Wifi, and to make it wide open. Are there any legal concerns in relation to this? We have a filter in place that covers all of our Wireless connections so I believe we are CIPA compliant, but do we need to be able to provide more than that?

I am considering starting up a KMS at this school. I just want to make sure I understand how it works. We have the ability to do so, but no one has implemented it before. I read that clients are required to check in every 180 days to re-activate. I assume this means they will show as Not Valid until they do so? Is it 180 days for Microsoft Office 2013 as well? If a teacher or student takes a computer home, will it automatically become invalid?

Recently it was brought up that there is some interested in getting Wifi on our school buses. We have about 20 or so. We thought about mobile hotspots, but given our rural location, I believe this would be spotty at best. Is it possible to 'broadcast' our wifi over a long distance? How have others schools managed this?

I have one Wireless Machine that seems to having an issue getting an IP Address from the DHCP. Background: Our DHCP scope ran out of wireless IP addresses. I tried to Supernet to get us more. DHCP started to hand out from the new Supernet, but they could not get internet access. I tried to change the access lists to allow this. That didn't work so I gave up for now, and tried to put things back to where they were. I rebooted the router so it went back to the Startup config, recreated the original scope. All of the devices on wireless started getting appropriate IP address, and the Wireless is working fine again. Problem: One Windows 7 machine will not get an IP address from the DHCP. I get this from ipconfig /all: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : HLIB-4540-13-31 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : ***** Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : ***** Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Ralink RT5390R 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 1C-3E-84-9B-FA-4D DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.87.46(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : ***** Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : B4-B5-2F-8F-CC-9E DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Tunnel adapter isatap.{B879EC32-0A95-4BF2-8CDB-98D204B7E473}: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Microsoft ISATAP Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-E0 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Tunnel adapter isatap.oly16.org: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Microsoft ISATAP Adapter #2 Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-E0 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes I tried resetting the DHCP service on the server, no luck there. It can get an IP Address just fine from a wired connection, it only it has trouble with Wireless. I have tried netsh winsock reset, netsh int ipv4 reset, netsh int ipv6 reset, ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew. I have tried turning off the DHCP service on the client. No luck. Not really sure what this issue is.

Our DHCP Server is a Windows Server 2003 machine with the DHCP mmc. We currently have a /23 for our Wireless devices, and we have been running out of IP Addresses. I would like to change it to a /22. Is it possible to do this during school hours, or is the impact on users significant? Do I have to remove the current Scope and re-add it to accomplish this?

Trying to prep 120 iPads for Students. I have managed to enroll for the Apple DEP and I can add the serial numbers to DEP, and they will show up in Meraki in the correct Network. After factory resetting the iPads I will end up with 1 of 2 errors. “The configuration for your iPad could not be downloaded. The configuration is not available.” The second one is, “The configuration for your iPad could not be downloaded from (My School). The request timed out.”

Our Network admin recently moved on to a new position, and I am currently having to pick up a project that has been pushed up to high priority. The server that hosts all of our student/teacher/faculty folders is running out of space. Here is what I know: HP Proliant DL380 running Windows Server 2003 R2 6 - 147.8 GB HDs Raid-5 C: = 10 GB (Windows) D: = 673 GB Our previous Network Admin has purchased 6 - 300 GB HDs to replace the current ones. I have got to pretty much tackle this over a single day. What is the best way to go about getting this up and running with the new hardware without risking the data on the disks?

It doesn't seem to matter. Both OpenGL and DirectX have the same issue.

I can't say with 100% certainty that they all do, but the one I'm testing with does.

Teachers are not local admins. They have some higher privileges, but they are not local admins. These PCs use the onboard graphics from Intel.

I'm having trouble with Google Earth. I've googled the issue and came up without a working solution. I have a lab that actively uses Google Earth, the lab was imaged over the summer, and since then Google Earth has not worked for students. It just shows a black screen and no layers listed. If I log in as a teacher or an administrator, it works perfectly. After checking, I can say with certainty that nothing is being blocked by the filter. Any advice?

I managed to block hola.org, but now some users are using a program called Zenmark to get around our filter. Anyone had any luck blocking it with iBoss?

Unable to access it currently. It could only support 0 or 1. Not sure which one this one is.

It currently does not show in Disk Manager.
