Does anyone know how much it’s cost per year to licence an Aruba switch or Aruba AP in Aruba central? It may the fact that for our schools, it just won’t be sustainable as it will be to expensive

We have some schools that have just joined our trust that have had new Aruba CX switches and Aruba APs installed just before joining and they also use Aruba central to manage the devices. Our other 3 schools use Unifi switches and APs so I’m torn weather to go down either some Unifi or Aruba route so I want to know what others would do, either ditch Unifi and for Aruba or ditch Aruba and go Unifi? The schools are primary schools and as I’ve not used Aruba with Aruba Central before, I don’t know if this solution is overkill and more expensive? Would love to hear peoples thoughts

Due to our department being very short staff, we need an eternal company to come in, and start build up and asset inventory/ audit of equipment at all our sites and asset tag equipment that needs tagging. Does anyone know of companies that will come in and do it? Not just related to IT but facilities also. Thanks

I’m in the process of setting up Intune and getting devices on Autopilot but when users login, They get just a white screen. I can press Ctrl Alt and del, and log out/restart and as soon as as they log in again, the white screen appears. The computer also doesn’t appear to have enrolled. Has anyone had this issue before?

We have all our school phones with O2 and they are not getting the OTP sms from Halifax when they pay for items online. Even when they choose the call back option, it doesn’t do that either. It happens on all three O2 mobiles but as soon as get Halifax to change the number on one of the charge cards to a Vodafone mobile number, the Vodafone mobile gets the OTP sms fine. Halifax are blaming O2 and O2 are blaming Halifax so I wondered if anyone has come across this before?

Should windows clients and iOS client report the correct internal IP addresses in Lightspeed Filter? Our LS filter reports the internal IP address for windows clients as 169.254.108.x and doesn't even report the Internal IP address for IOS clients. It does report on the serial number of the device for Windows clients but nothing for iPads so should it report all details correctly? The report i go to is Reports - Web Activity Log

Oh great! So would i have to sync users to our Meraki and Intune MDMs, then assign and owner to the devices, even if we created generic accounts specifically for iPads? I can still filter the devices okay, it just comes up with "unknown" for the user in Lightspeed.

We have been trying to setup lightspeed filter for the past two weeks and support is not great if im honest. The live chat is hardly ever available and when i log a case they take a very long time in getting back. Its like they aren't bothered in trying to help setup the solution once its been purchased. All out ipads work as a shared device so not 1:1 and wont be assigned to users as we are SEN.

So how does the device authenticate with a username? I have put the $EMAIL variable in but as iPads dont have logins, theres nothing it can authenticate against.

Awesome thanks. I just need to find out what the Meraki variables are now. Do you get users to log into your ipads or do you have an account for each iPad setup?

Im just setting up and testing lightspeed filter on an ipad and in the process of configuring the MDM setting to push to the push. Can i push the same settings to all devices or do i have to configure different settings for each devices? I noticed from the Lightspeed instructions that it asks for the UDID so is that for the iPad itself? Also for the username, would that be for the user that that has the device? Maybe there is a better way to get them working and filtering that im not aware of like a portal that users log into on the iOS device?

I too wanted to change the name of our school name in ASM and come across this thread so thanks for the heads up everyone. I did contact apple to see if it can be done and im still waiting for a response but reading this i will probably just leave it.

That would be great thanks. I will DM you

Can Intune/endpoint manager handle multiple Apple School manager DEP/ VPP accounts? We are a MAT with multiple schools in a single 365 tenant but each still has their own Apple school manager. Thanks

Hi We are testing Lightspeed filter and have setup the sync of users from AD to filter but the users dont appear straight away and seems to take 24 hours. Does anyone else have this issue? If so how can i force the sync so users appear straight after? Thanks

Thanks. So do i still supply the file with that column but nothing in that column apart from the header?

Hi Ive just been given an example template file from ParentPay to start the Staff details upload from Bromcom to ParentPay but their file is asking for the ClassGroup and YearGroup fields but bromcom doesn't have this for staff so has anyone else manage to supply ParentPay with a report with these fields from Bromcom? The Fields ParentPay say they need are: [TABLE=width: 582] [TR] [TD=class: xl79, width: 137]StaffIdentifier[/TD] [TD=class: xl79, width: 123]Surname[/TD] [TD=class: xl79, width: 154]ChosenName[/TD] [TD=class: xl79, width: 84]YearGroup[/TD] [TD=class: xl79, width: 84]ClassGroup[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Ive done the student one fine, just the staff one im struggling with. Thanks

Hi We are moving windows 10 devices away from On-prem AD to 365 and Intune only in the summer and we are also moving all users to the Microsoft 365 Edu A3 licences also. How do i activate windows clients using Intune now we're moving away from on-prem KMS? I think I read somewhere that there may be no need to activate as users will have the M365 A3 licence? or would i have to active each windows 10 client using Intune? Thanks

Thanks everyone for your feedback. The problem we have is that not all our provisions have an MIS and the HR team uses a HR system for staff which im not 100% sure it will work with Salamander so something i will have to check.

Hi Has anyone managed to nail the user onboarding and offboarding process for their trust? We are still getting staff starting without HR telling us when they should and numerous times a month HR forget to notify us when staff have left. It would be good to know what process everyone else has that makes it more robust so IT don't find out a user has left 3 month down the road and they were notified by HR. Thanks

To save me re-inventing the wheel and also save a huge amount of time, does anyone have some examples of a cyber incident response plan they would be willing to share? Many thanks
