Everything W11 even if its not supported, In place upgrades usually will not work as it checks the specs of the machines, but a wipe and rebuild striaght to the latest H2 is working for us. (Non of our staff machines are below spec however and take the roll ups as normal) We too have a few 250's.

turns out you can copy Logic Pro 11 (the logicprox.app folder) from one machine to another and it will work. licenced, only thing you need to do is update the file association. (I did have to compress it to a zip to copy it, then extract on the new machine)

Can confirm this happens with Mosyle. Got a call from music in the last hour... half our machines have taken the update... now not licenced. (but weirdly some still have 11 as well as 12.. 11 work, 12 licence fails) Oh and just turned off app updates to save the rest..

Solved it myself. Turns out user needs access to the MS store as well, we have it disabled for staff and students.

I have a user who wishes to use the "New" Version of outlook. Ok fine No worries here. However when they try and open it they get the message "Your account does not have permission to access the new Outlook on Windows,Choose another account or manually add an exsisting Office subscription" I've tried the user on Office A1, Office A3, and even Microsoft A3, Both the A3's should come with Outlook? User is able to use the 2024 LTSC version of outlook with no issue (licenced though volume) Any Ideas? I've tried things like profile resets already.

Morning all. Currently collecting data ive been asked for off our various platforms, and one of the things been asked for are "any communications" now I've managed to include any unencrypted communications. (exchange 365) however i've noticed the "you have new egress" mails being captured, but not the actual content. (not supprising considering its an end2end encryption platform). Do you know if theres anyway to include the content of these egress mails? Does anyone else include them? if so how? I'm not sure asking each indivicual user to go though their egress mails and forward anything on is appropriate? (and if thats the only way then surely that sits outside searchable or indexed infomation?

If it was for me, then.. its a separate physical network and devices, with no net access.

No they don't, hence it was an issue getting pip installed.

Ok, we are a school that were onsite microsoft 100% (2019) we moved over to google workspace, all our cloud services Google based. We have this year taken the view that only "One" solution does not fit us. So we are moving to a hybid of services, picking the service from each platform which suites us better... (Classroom Vs Teams... Exchange Vs gMail... Sharepoint Vs Shared Drives). As we are using our Onsite AD as the source of all our... Syncrinizations most account details end up being the same, passwords certainly do. It too is our intention to keep the students on Google, (bar email accounts), as for them its more suited. Staff will end up using Mircrosoft more.

We had a simalar need, in the end we opted for a rollable "lab" basically its a cab on wheels, with a VM host (VM's being the exploitable targets), managed switch, and an aruba instant 505 AP. In addition we repurposed older laptops, as the student client machines and placed them in a trolley next to it. All machine macs have been blocked from the main network, (yes I know its not perfect) When they have need, the roll both out, plug it in (power) and everything including the VM's fire up. after a few moments the AP broadcasts the Lab wifi They then are able to run though the lesson, at the end of the lesson teacher his the power on the VM host, which gracefully shuts down the VM's and powers off. Only issue I've really had is when the laptops needed pip installing... was a bit of a nightmare as everything was blocked from access the main network.

Morning All, From the looks of it, the Microsoft A3/A5 are the replacement for the old school Desktop Packs we purchased under our OVE/EES Based on our schools FTE count. Can some one confirm weather if we purchase A3/A5 for our staff would we still need to purchase the Desktop Packs? Cos from the PDFs I've read it seems like a straight swap? (This is what we purchased last year under our OVS "Microsoft® Desktop Education All Languages License & Software Assurance Open Value Level F 1 Year Academic Enterprise "

anyone been able to get these reg keys to work? I've added them but every time the client fires up it says they are not present..

Disaster recovery plan. (DRP) - its one of those things often missed... until you need it.

Been trying to define "Organisational data" Obviously things like our MIS, Finance systems, Drives, Emails etc are included. However what about platforms like Sam Learning? or Accelerated Reader? Platforms that are cloud based, and have things like student names in. My first instinct would be "Yes". However I'm now looking at needing to be able to control access (secure passwords etc) on these platforms and finding the ability to do so is woefully inadequate? Anyone got any thoughts on this? (I did try searching the forms but could see any results)

Afternoon, Sorry for bit of a necro, But Ive just started going though the paper work and come across the BYOD / Personal device issue everyone seems to be talking about (picked up from reading the Cyber Essentials:Requirements for IT infrastructure document) Our Staff are 1:1 devices, but do we need to count students as well? Technically they do access things like email, and shared drives? (though nothing that would be considered Business specific MIS/Finance etc) It seemed in the requirement document we should include ALL users? but students? really? Thoughts?

My school is looking for a new junior so i thought i would leave this here. https://www.mynewterm.com/school/Queen-Elizabeth-School/109707/EDV-2021-QES-53474/Junior-ICT-Technician Closes 8th November

Yeah, I saw that, but i made the change on Friday, and today they can still do it.. (Call with google is still open)

Hey All. We recently moved to google classroom and google meet for teaching our online lessons. Its mostly been Ok, however over the last few days we have received calls from concerned teachers that random US call centres have been entering their lessons. Upon investigating it, it seems the students are using the "Use phone for audio, selecting Call me", and putting in some random US based numbers. I've tried disabling "Telephony" organisation on the Meet Settings page for the top level OU on the google admin panel, but they are still able to do it. Only solution I've found is to disable the "Quick Access" which means the teachers then have to admit the students to lesson. If i could either kill the ability to do it, or tell WHO instigated the call out i would be able stop it, but the audit panel on reporting, just gives me the first few numbers of the dialled out number. (Contacted google support already, and they where not that helpful, just telling me/teachers to use host controls) Any ideas?

You should have more rep for this, Just got the scripts and reports working, just at a time when the head was starting to panic about lock down again (and the other specialist software vendors currently have like a 2 week lead time, salamander told me it would be christmas!) Thanks.

yup daily, usually other schools. we once had a feeder establishment, hand all of their student transfer files, to a random person in our car park. when our admin team chased them to see why they had not received them, it was discovered that the random person had then handed them to a teacher, who had dropped them into the heads office. We then contacted the other establishment to let them know what they had done.... they didn't really care. we got the files, but it could have so easily been worse, our admin team where completely horrified that another education establishment did this.

when we first found out flash and java where being killed, we took it off our base images, (what 2 years ago?), and had it as a "requested" feature. when teacher requested the feature we informed they why it was removed, and told them the time was coming, and they would need to look for alternatives. skip on today, when we very rarely get called to install either, and when we do its for those exam marking software teachers use once a year. (we even by default block chromes bulitin flash, but that more to stop the kids spending all lesson playing Mario games, but because of the above it had limited effect on actual learning)

we use https://www.sptcompliance.co.uk/ always happy to assist with an query's we have, and works with us to make sure we are ticking the boxes, and one of their employees is listed as our DPO.

I've used https://www.macoi.co.uk/ a few times, each room ive had done has been designed and built to my specifications.

https://educationstore.microsoft.com/en-us/store/details/windows-calculator/9WZDNCRFHVN5 by any chance?

easy 10mx10m room with benches down two sides, and mine and a technicians desk the other sides. server room is seperate, and thats 5mx10m, with air con etc, and that backs onto our main room.
