Had the same issue but fixed it here. If you have a Sophos UTM then add 8443 as an Allowed Target Service under Web Protection -> Filtering Options -> Misc tab. The problem URL https://springboot-prod.priv.pearsonprd.tech:8443/v1/identity/password/checkDictionary is loaded in the background as the user types their new password. If it can't reach this URL it breaks.

Is anyone else having problems accessing the SIMS Documentation using the link within the application itself? The initial local HTML page loads but when I select any of the options it tries to take me to https://simspublications.com/ which seems to have a SSL certificate name mismatch. Anyone else experiencing the same issue or is it just us? Thanks

I'm looking for recommendations on a mobile device (preferably a small tablet) that will project its disply to a Windows 10/11 laptop. I'm planning to use the built-in Windows 10/11 Connect app that allows you connect a Miracast enabled device and mirror its screen on the laptop. Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap and cheerful Android device with a camera that works with this Connect app? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/screen-mirroring-and-projecting-to-your-pc-5af9f371-c704-1c7f-8f0d-fa607551d09c#ID0EBD=Windows_10

[h=2]Looks like it's a known issue. KB0018846. Apparently we need On Demand Patch 15974[/h]

I've just been given the exact same problem by our pastoral assistant so I'm very interested to find out what may be causing this anomaly.

Hmm not sure about that one. Is it a form you are filling in?

Yes, actually I think activation involved me doing something through VLSC.

First you need to make sure that you have licensed Office Pro Plus for your entire organisation through your OVS agreement. You also need to ask your reseller to add 'Microsoft 365 Apps for Faculty' and 'Microsoft 365 Apps for Students' licenses. These used to be called 'Office 365 Pro Plus for Faculty' and 'Office 365 Pro Plus for Students'. Theses licenses are free if you have already licensed Office Pro Plus for your entire organisation. Your reseller should send you some activation codes for theses two licenses so that you can add them to your tenancy. Then contact Microsoft and ask them to activate the Office 365 A1 Plus licenses for you. It may take a few days but they should add them eventually. I went through this frustrating process back in October 2019 so things may have changed since then but we now have 5000 student and 5000 faculty A1 Plus licenses.

Many thanks for everybody's suggestions - it's really appreciated. We'll look into them.

We don't need them to be very hands on but we would like them to check that we are complying with the necessary requirements. We would probably also want them to be a source of advice when needed.

Oops should have mentioned that! We're a secondary school with about 830 pupils.

We're looking into the possibility of outsourcing the role of DPO. Is there a provider of this type of service that anyone would recommend?

After a couple of calls yesterday with MS Support I'm pretty certain AVE stands for Academic Verification Engine. If you google it, Microsoft actually have a site (https://www.msacademicverify.com) with this name but it appears to be where individuals go to prove their academic status rather than institutions such as ourselves. I don't think we're on their verified list but I think I finally got through to someone who knows what to do... I was asked for my OVS agreement number that had the MS Office license on it, our domain (I gave them the sch.uk one) and I was asked if I was K12 or Higher Education. They say they're going to get back to me - fingers crossed...

Just so I don't get fobbed off easily, do you know what the AVE team is exactly? Does it stand for something? Thanks Hudsen

You've got more perseverance than me. Well done! Is there anything we need to do via PowerShell? I've read in a few places that there's a command you have to execute?
