Either this, or you add can also an environmental variable to GP and use that with redirected folders

We used/use Digitalairwireless / DigitalAir Very good, got us some really useful info when we had issues regarding ap strength and coverage and have done all our wireless surveys with our new building projects

As part of a layered approach, something like this is very useful (if you use veeam), but the concept could work with other agents: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/veeam-hardened-linux-repository-part-1 You set up the box with single use credentials and set the box up so it doesn't accept any connection other than the veeam transport agent and then disconnect the box when you arent running jobs (either with cron or physically).

BBC iPlayer detecting us as outside the UK
cw222 replied to TriggerHappyUK's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
We had something similar, we were flagged by a few services such as iplayer and itv player (we also have a residential component). It worked on our main internet line, but as soon as people load balanced to the secondary line it would block them. Our IP was coming out in london and was peered directly via the LINX and LONAP exchange. Our ISP said that previous to them owning the IP and subsequently assigned to us, it was most likely associated with a VPN service. So they whitelisted the IP in the end. -
PRTG (we usually use for more targeted stuff with the sensors rather than an overall picture), Prometheus/Grafana ++, and IMC used for different bits. With Grafana you don't have to re-invent the wheel either and can get started from some preconfigured dashboards.

Are you using custom domains or msappproxy.net? We had initial trouble getting the certs working and had this error message, but once redeployed as our domain.com address it sorted it with our own certs.

Provisional yes on any of those days

Few things I've used/seen be the cause of this : Might be worth turning on verbose logging just in case to see what's being applied to the user during log in. You also use the Windows performance monitor + Windows performance toolkit (not sure how up to date these are, I remember doing something like this with the XPERF) Is everything in your DNS correct?

We went with Dell 5310- 2 in 1 and Dell USB-C single cable docks. Seem to work well, and teachers like the ability to write directly on the screen with a stylus. We've only had a couple of issues with teachers forgetting laptops, although we've had a large amount of lost chargers! Couple of issues: - Screen Size can be an issue if using as a working screen. (some have wished for a larger monitor) - If you want to output to 3 monitors, the res on the 3rd port is mega blurry. Edit : a couple of our more tech savvy teachers have also been "allowed" Microsoft Wifi Display Adapters so they can walk around the room with the laptop and project / model student work on the board

I know TASC offer PARS as a web front end for SIMS and Insight as a parent portal. I can't vouch for their efficacy anymore, as it's been a while since I've used them, but they seemed to be allong the lines of what you're looking for.

Microsoft Wireless Adapters - Anyone use them?
cw222 replied to sonie's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
Have you set the adapter to Gaming mode on the settings? We found that this made latency a little more bearable -
We use Sharepoint to post guides and FAQs. It's what the majority of the organisation are using for their other work, so it seemed to make the most sense. A sharepoint site - and you can have wiki guides, videos and stuff all in there. Permissions are quite easy to manage too.

[android tablet] Preventing factory device reset
cw222 replied to ryanplym's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
Hiya, We use intune for our MDM for this and works well. I think you can also do this via Hexnode : https://www.hexnode.com/forums/topic/restrict-factory-resetting/#:~:text=Navigate%20to%20Android%E2%80%93%3EAdvanced%20Restrictions,from%20resetting%20the%20Android%20device. Does that work on the devices? -
A tool like Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager might be useful in your situation, as it wouldn't be much you need to change

Moving Shared Drives to SharePoint - any pointers!
cw222 replied to mdrabble's topic in Cloud Services
Separate sites for departments, with a communication site stuck in as the front page to try to look more snazzy (moved with the Enable-SPOCommSite). Central landing page linked to the SharePoints that the user has access to. We used the SharePoint migration tool, however if doing it again we would probably use the built in Migration Manager. We moved student and staff home drives via CSV and SharePoint migration tool mapped to their OneDrives. These CSVs were created with powershell and excel. We found that as long as the staff were able to sync the libraries down to file explorer, they didn't really notice / care in terms of accessing files. The main issue that staff have had has been sharing files with one another. They seem to be quite good at it now however, just an initial learning bump. (Edge has a handy(!!!) tool that can see any documents, when someone has shared a "anyone with a link can have access" to everyone in your organisation, so one to be careful of / mitigated against.)
