Thanks for your reply, It's not that I want to ruled out another platforms apart from Microsoft, it's because I don't think children are going to find IPads when they start working in the real world, IMO IPads are for entertainment and of course for many brilliant apps you can find for education, but besides that when you have to do serious work you use a Microsoft OS or a Mac OSX. We don't have the budget to buy apple products and to be honest I don't see the point in paying double to get the same result. So, my option is Microsoft OS. We have Tablets for children, Android and OSX, both, but for computing I still don't see the point in tablets. Neither I see Chromebooks as a good option in my school, O365 is our choice so adding G-Suit is not a good idea and without time for training staff and children is not an option for me, maybe in schools where IT staff are hired full time but I am a part time guy, no time at all. 100% agrees with you in that we need to expose to a wide range of devices and technology, but again, without the time (and low budget) of training staff is really difficult. I have tried before and the staff just ignore those technologies although they are so simple to use just because they haven't receive a 2 hours training. Sometimes I think this country is so bound to training, people stops using their brain to try to solve a problem just because it's not written in a piece of paper.

Hi everyone, I am looking for some ideas about devices meant for students in a Primary School. Currently we are using laptops, well it's 0k but I am thinking in moving to something more suitable for a kid's needs. The trend is moving to touchable devices easy to move and tough enough to last in a school environment. I am not for IPads or Chromebooks, my environment is based in Microsoft, Servers and Clients are running Windows OS, so I would like to keep running Windows OS and have every device domain-joined. I have found something that looks really interesting here, https://www.one-education.org/ and I am wondering whether you know of something similar here in the UK. As well I would like to read your implementations. Thanks.

Hola Julian, have you tried to deploy updates when they switch off the machine? Then they won't be doing any important task, just going home and leave the computer alone doing its business. This is how I manage W7, W10 updates on my school.

Same configuration as you. Have you checked the options in iDRAC?

Ok, sorry for not being very clear. 1 - Create security group 2 - Add those computers to this security group 4 - Link the GPO to your OU 5 - Select the Policy and click on Delegation tab 6 - Click on Advanced 7 - Select Authenticated Users and untick "Apply group policy" on Allow column 8 - Add the group you have previously created and tick Allow : "Read" and "Apply group policy" 9 - Now your Scope / Security Filtering will show the group in which this policy is going to be applied I hope now is more clear.

Create a Group, add those computers to the group. Then in Delegation Tab untick authenticated user for being applied. Add the group and tick Read and Apply this policy. Restart one computer to be sure it takes the changes. gpupdate /force will do the same but you need to see if the change is made at the login stage, so I'd restart the computer. Authenticated User includes User/Computers joined to the domain but this is just to discard any User policy you may have messing around or a loopback enabled policy. It's worth to try and see if this makes any difference.

Create a group adding the computer you want this policy being applied and apply this policy to the group instead to Authenticated Users. (Assuming you are not doing this already, also assuming you are using Computer settings on the GPO)

You sure there isn't other policy applied over ruling this one?

Remote connection to a domain controller? Unless your DC is configured to only accept domain accounts. I think you can use Invoke command from powershell to connect to your DC using domain credentials, not sure.

So, Dartmoor National Park was brown on May and after two months it becomes green? I think this image's been tempered. 🧐 Grass fields are turning brown but no trees or natural reserves. It's too brown IMHO. I'm not buying it.

Have you Enable the option "Requiere aditional authentication at startup" ? You have to enable it on your local group policies. https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/6229/how-to-use-bitlocker-on-drives-without-tpm/

When I upgrade my computer to 1803 Edu last week, my RSAT tool just disappeared, it seems 1803 didn't like it. Thinking about what @Oaktech has said. Try to rollback one computer to 1709 and give it a try, maybe is something with 1803 version. BTW I am still able to use Remote Desktop. I haven't try Hyper-V Manager yet, so I will next week just in case I having the same problem Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using EduGeek mobile app

I have had the same discussion. We have reach to an agreement eventually. We have bought memory sticks and encrypt them using BitLocker. These memory sticks will be used for a period of time (ending next 11th June), so staff has had the time to swap files from their own sticks to the school's sticks. After 11th June we are banning the use of any usb removal storage except the school's. I am using Device Control Policy in Sophos Enterprise Console. Our next move is banning these memory sticks and move to OnDrive / SharePoint. Some users are already using this services.

Are you using UNC path to pull the software? I mean \\server\share\....

Yes, It's old stuff but although the security in those days was way worse than now, the tracking techniques were too. 0k , I am not able to give you a more convincing source of information. Anyway we were sharing our vision about trying to avoid being tracked giving up on some features (Android or others). I still believe that this is not possible unless you disconnect completely your persona from the actual world. We are not talking about just phones or browser, your info is shared everywhere, your bank account, your contracts, your mortgage, your taxes, your issues subscriptions, everywhere...

That article is to support that is true a phone can be tracked using your battery info. This article is to support that it can be done even with your phone off. I am sure you would notice your phone is behaving weird but not everyone would. I am not trying to say that NSA is spying on us, I just tried to say that it can be done, that's all, of course we won't be a NSA target or whatever, but it can be done. I am not supporting my statement on a film, I am supporting it on experts' articles, if they are not enough to convince you that's fine but it doesn't come from TV shows.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/aug/02/battery-status-indicators-tracking-onlineNow, two security researchers from Princeton University have shown that the battery status indicator really is being used in the wild to track users. By running a specially modified browser, Steve Engelhard and Arvind Narayanan found two tracking scripts that used the API to “fingerprint” a specific device, allowing them to continuously identify it across multiple contexts.http://randomwalker.info/publications/OpenWPM_1_million_site_tracking_measurement.pdf

Yes, this is what I wanted to say, but the battery power is what they use if your signal is off, apparently

Battery power alone can be used to track Android phones - BBC News Apparently easy to do with your phone on, but with malware on your system it can be done with your phone off too - - - Updated - - - Exactly

Well, for sure companies can track you through your battery using the info about how your phone is pinging the antennas, with airplane mode or GPS disable they can still track you using this radio signal and localize your whereabouts with a quite good precision using the amount of battery your phone use to ping, the closer you are to an antenna the lesser power you need to ping it. Apart from that also some says that although with your phone switched off your battery is still pinging, so I think you are still able to be tracked.

No just a Google thing... and I would go further. Every time you use your credit/debit card you are leaving a digital signature, when you walk/drive/ride with your phone on your pocket, even switched off, you are leaving a digital signature (phone companies are tracing your phone using their antennas just receiving the battery signal), when you use an ATM, when you send a package, and so on and so on,....... So it's difficult for me to think on a middle ground out there...

About 10 years or more [emoji23] . I remember setting a file server in Debian in a Novel Network environment. A year after the corporation moved to Windows Server 2000 and my life became much easier.

100% with you and I will say more. This is the price you have to pay (well actually google services are for free) to have all those fancy features. I don't mind Google knowing where I am or where I was/went, in fact it is useful, many times I have been is this fancy pub drinking a beer and I just don't remember where it was or the name, but wait, let me check my activity and I'll tell you in a few seconds. It is just an example, another one might be the possibility to download maps offline, I use that a lot when I am travelling with my bicycle where no signal available or before free roaming and is very handy. Synchronization in my browsers is vital for me. Drive, Photos, Inbox, the power and speed of chrome browser, Android Pay, Authenticator, Keep, play Music, thanks Google for Translator and so on. I love Android, I don't hate Apple but after being an Apple consumer I had enough of this end-to-end philosophy, I love Android!!! Of course this is all about my non-professional life. In my job I am a Windows/Microsoft guy, I am SysAdmin and I am managing DC's and FS in Windows Domain, 0365 in the platform I have set, I use OneNote and I encrypt what is necessary to encrypt to keep my notes secure, I use OneDrive in my job, Word, Excel, you name it, I love Microsoft, I don't hate Linux but after being a Linux consumer I had enough of this manual patching philosophy, I love Microsoft!!!! Most of the people I know that complain about Google lack of privacy use facebook every day to post their entire life, their sons and friends without any remorse, but hey, Google is spying on me, because I am a VIP worth it to spy. Well, I think that if you are jealous about your privacy then ditch your phone entirely and do not use the internet (TOR is traceable too). Just MHO.

I don't understand why a HT needs a high spec computer when most of the time they are in meetings and almost all the computer work is done by office staff. Anyway @VeryPC will give you a computer with high specs, very good price and 5 years warranty.

This is what I have understood
