Have you used it yet? I found it to be pretty underwhelming and not on par with the Groups app.

I am at a crossroads between Office 365 Groups and SharePoint Teamsites for our staff. Ideally I would like to leverage the file store too. Thoughts? Groups + Awesome mobile app + Notebook, files, conversations created + Easy sync or webdav + Team page apparently coming this year with new modern builder - No 'hierarchy' / 'line-of-sight' for creation - each is it's own entity SharePoint Teamsites + Notebook and files + Easy sync or webdav + Team page apparently coming this year with new modern builder + Line of sight and hierarchy - No conversations - Mediocre/no mobile app (iOS only)

Is there a way to deploy add-ins across our network? Also, is there a way to customise the office ribbon (i.e. OneNote) for all devices? Many thanks!

I guess the biggest requirement for our techno-phobic teachers is that it works reliably and predictably.

We've got 44 projectors that we're wanting to provide wireless projection for. I am thinking AirServer on a stick PC might be the way to go as we can cater for both Windows and iOS/OSX. Has anyone had any luck using a stick PC for this task? I don't think the Intel Compute Sticks have WiDi/Miracast but apparently the Asus VivoStick has Miracasting built in. Thoughts? Has anyone got any better ideas? I'm all ears!

We are looking to implement a LMS for really the first time at our K-12 school. Do your teachers actually use your LMS effectively? What LMS does your school use?

I too am looking for the same functionality. This looks okay: https://sharepointedutech-web.sharepoint.com/SitePages/Resource%20%26%20Room%20Manager.aspx Pitty there is no free alternative.

Our school is looking at purchasing a bank of iPads for our younger years (K-2). I am tasked with deciding between iPad Airs and iPad Mini's... What would you prefer for 4-7yr olds?

+1 Microsoft Endpoint screwed my captures.

Our district provided server will be removed next year as they district has transitioned to cloud document storage. Our dilemma is that we have approx 2TB of video/photos/files that don't play nice in Sharepoint 2010.Does anyone have any recommendations for a file server or NAS to meet our needs?We would have, at peak, 30 concurrent connections (i.e. one class) connecting over the wireless. It'd need to support our Windows AD for authentication. QNAP seems good but I've never used one in a our setting so I want to make sure it'll be applicable for our school's needs.

One thought, are those changes made on the Windows 8.1 computer stored in on the server 2008? i.e. If Windows 8.1 machine is formatted, are all the changes lost? Or if another Win 8.1 computer is used to update the GP will the changes be reflected on it too?

Ahhh RSAT seems to be the trick! I've got 2008 R1 But from using MDT / PDQ Deploy / WDS I seem to get most things done. Now with RSAT I can update our 8.1's to lock them down and get our bewildering IT under control. Thank you for the help - it's really appreciated.

I am a bit new to Group Policies and I have inherited a Server 2008. We will have Win 8.1 clients and I need to update the GPO's... can this be done on Server 2008? Do I need something special to get the Win 8.1 new polices?

+1 me too!

We use configurator, all locked down which works great. But they are school owned so we can do what we want. In terms of our 1-1 student owned laptops would: 1) Have students login via our domain user for any school work / homework 2) Students use their own local account (regular user) ^^ Does that make the most sense? Is there a better option? All laptops are wiped when they graduate as it has our enterprise licensing.
