In partnership with Microsoft and Ingram Micro, Concero Education Technology are excited to announce the Azure Credits Offer giving you $1200 worth of Azure credit in June 2023. The offer is aimed at any organisations that are starting or increasing their Azure usage. Reach out direct if you want to apply for this programme.

This was another option we discussed and we have already started to explore the viability in the school with the fully funded Accelerate and Demonstrate programme from Microsoft delivered by TA education

Just had a fantastic technical consultancy conversation around cloud storage and larger files. The Microsoft-focused Academy I was speaking with delved into Adobe Creative Cloud and the challenges of accessing large media files in M365 cloud storage via school broadband connectivity. While this isn't a new issue, there are various approaches to consider. Here are some options we discussed: Azure Lab Services: A fantastic solution, especially if you're familiar with Azure Virtual Desktop. Microsoft has a dedicated page that focuses on this service in conjunction with Adobe Creative Cloud. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/lab-services/class-type-adobe-creative-cloud Azure File Sync: This option might feel like a cheat, as it utilises the speed and efficiency of local network storage, but with all of the access-anywhere cloud capabilities. Introduction to Azure File Sync | Microsoft Learn Both solutions are powerful and have other potential use cases. Keep in mind that there may also be alternative options available for managing larger files. Feel free to ping me if you are having the same challenges or, come and meet me at BETT - I'm there for the duration and I'll be on the Microsoft stand: Thursday 10am - 1pm Friday 4pm - 6pm

Yes - the programme is available but the project must be complete by June 2023 to release the funding

Does this work? =QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("1QnGk7yUaAZjdzMgOB3YFmYYVe1DBHgfU15-YP8cpp-U", "Active Assets!A1:L3000"),"SELECT * WHERE L <= 1") - - - Updated - - - Does this work? =QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("1QnGk7yUaAZjdzMgOB3YFmYYVe1DBHgfU15-YP8cpp-U", "Active Assets!A1:L3000"),"SELECT * WHERE L <= 1")

You can also do it through the admin panel - goto domains, select the domain in question, click on dns and work through the pages until you can untick Exchange

Using the EAC: Log in to the EAC using an account with the appropriate permissions. In the EAC, navigate to the Recipients > Domains section. Select the domain you want to turn off Exchange for, and then click the Edit icon. In the Edit domain window, clear the "Enable Exchange" check box. Click Save to disable Exchange for the selected domain.

This is because Microsoft won't use external MX if it can already see the domain listed with the exchange setting switched on for the tenancy. Anyone communicating with them to those emails addresses using O365 will go to their O365 Mailboxes and not GMAIL. Anyone communicating with them to those emails addresses using anything other than O365 will be sent to their GMAIL

You can use the IMPORTRANGE function in combination with the COUNTIF function to import only the rows that meet your specified criteria. The formula would look something like this: =QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("spreadsheet_key", "Active Assets!A2:L3000"), "SELECT * WHERE L <= 1") This formula would import all columns (A-L) from the "Active Assets" sheet in the specified spreadsheet, and then filter only the rows where the value in column L is less than or equal to 1. Another way to achieve this is by using FILTER function:=FILTER(IMPORTRANGE("spreadsheet_key", "Active Assets!A2:L3000"),IMPORTRANGE("spreadsheet_key", "Active Assets!L2:L3000")<=1) This function filter the rows where column L is less than or equal to 1.

Not really but how often are you changing policies for them to be required so quickly? here's some tips that might help though: Use the Intune device targeting feature to deploy policies to specific groups of devices rather than deploying to all devices. Use the Intune troubleshooting feature to identify and resolve any issues that may be causing delays in policy deployment. Use the Intune change management feature to deploy policies during non-peak usage hours to minimize the impact on end-users. Use Azure AD group-based assignments to target specific groups of devices for policy deployment. Avoid creating too many policy or avoid creating complex policies that would take longer to deploy. Use Intune PowerShell SDK to automate the deployment process. Finally, monitor the devices for policy compliance and take necessary action for non-compliant devices.

Running the Microsoft Outlook Connectivity Test: This tool can help to diagnose and fix problems with Outlook connectivity. Check for any third-party add-ins or plugins that may be causing the problem and try disabling or removing them. Check for any recent Windows updates, and if any have been installed, try uninstalling them to see if that resolves the issue. Try using Outlook in safe mode by holding the Ctrl key while starting Outlook. This will start Outlook without add-ins and plugins, and can help to determine if one of them is causing the problem.

As someone who's spent the last 15 years working in the education industry, I've seen firsthand the struggles that schools and universities face when it comes to technology, especially laptops. When the Surface line first came out back in 2012, Microsoft's goal was to create elegant, portable computer platforms that were more affordable than those from Apple. And while it took some time, I think they've finally hit their stride with the Surface Laptop SE. This device is specifically aimed at primary schools, and I think it's a great option for them. First, the specs. The Laptop SE comes in two versions. The entry-level version has an Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage, which is more than enough for primary school students. Plus, the fact that Microsoft was able to offer this level of performance at a lower price point is pretty impressive. The design of the Laptop SE also borrows from previous Surface projects, which I think is a good thing. The keyboard, for example, is the same one used on the Surface Laptop Go. And unlike most other Surface devices, the Laptop SE is made of plastic, which makes it more durable and resistant to damage, perfect for a primary school setting. One of the things that Microsoft is boasting about with the Laptop SE is that it's the most repairable Surface laptop yet. This is a big plus for primary schools that have limited IT resources. Microsoft will provide screens, batteries, and keyboards as replacement parts, making it easy for educators to fix any issues that may arise. When it comes to ports, the Laptop SE has the essentials: a Kensington security slot, power jack inlet, a USB-C port, a USB-A port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. It may not have every single port you could want, but it has the essentials that most primary school students will need. Finally, there's the power connector. Microsoft has chosen to use a pin-barrel power connector, which isn't the most modern type, but I suppose it's reliable. The only downside is that the USB-C port on the Laptop SE can't be used for charging. All in all, I think the Surface Laptop SE is a great option for primary schools. It's affordable, durable, and easy to repair, which are all important factors for schools. I think it's definitely worth checking out.

When I was working as an IT Tech at a local secondary school back in 2006, we used to use Misco (the original one, not the one now who just purchased the name). The relationship was very basic in a sense of, now and again we would ask for quotes and most of the time it was fine but they never really understood our school or what we were trying to achieve. Then one day we were assigned an account manager by the name of Tracey Ellis. We continued to fire an email out from time to time, "can you quote for 10 laptops for staff, i5 8GB, 500GB (mechanical back then only ) - anyway, after a few weeks, Tracey reached out after reviewing our account and the way we had been working with Misco and basically ran through where she thought we could have leveraged the relationship better with Misco. She came out to visit us and explained how to get the most from suppliers and vendors to benefit our team and ultimately the school. The relationship continued for many years and I'm grateful that Tracey is now a colleague of mine and has been for a few years. She continues to connect schools and MATs to the right people in the industry as she has built up connections with major vendors and cutting edge technology (StarLink as of late). Just like the help she provided our team, she can help you and yours too. You can reach her via the following: Tracey Ellis | LinkedIn @ConceroEdu_Tracey
