I had similar issues when I tried to keep NPS on a separate server. Moving it to the DC fixed the permission problems for me. It might be worth a shot in your case too.

Alright, if I were stepping into that role, my week one would be all about getting the lay of the land. First, I'd want to chat with the current IT staff to see what's working, what's not, and what fires they're constantly putting out. Then, I'd do a walk-through of the network setup to get a feel for the hardware and software in place. Finally, I'd sit down with the school admin to understand their biggest tech-related pain points and priorities. Gotta know what I'm walking into, you know?

Given your focus on paying off the mortgage, I'd be hesitant to sink a ton of money into the old Civic. That clutch job is a big chunk of change, and you're right, something else could easily pop up.That Dacia Spring is tempting at that price, especially with the lower running costs. I'd do some serious research on the real-world range and charging situation, but it could be a smart move if it fits your lifestyle.

At one of the schools I helped, they didn’t have the budget for a dedicated setup either, so we repurposed some older desktops as thin clients and hooked them up to a central server running Proxmox. It wasn’t perfect, but it gave students a solid mix of hands-on experience without pushing the hardware too hard. For basics, we also set up a small Raspberry Pi cluster, which worked surprisingly well for teaching networking and some security concepts. It’s not the dream setup, but it got the job done.

I’ve had some luck with Remote Desktop Manager for file transfers; it makes things way smoother than RDWeb. I also tried Parallels Access, which I found really user-friendly, especially for managing files. Both have free trials, so you can see how they fit your needs without committing to anything right away.

Hey! At my school, we created Zoom accounts for all the teachers using a single admin account. It was super easy; we just set up individual accounts for everyone under that main account, which helped keep everything organized. It definitely made scheduling meetings and classes way simpler. I just made sure to share tips on using it with everyone, since not everyone was super familiar with Zoom at first.
