Those Title Checks are great for security and safeguarding, it's a shame it's missing or DNA would be perfect. I've installed both DNA and Tech Console onto a test server and it seems to be working pretty nicely, it works cross domain too which is sweet. I'm unsure as to weather DNA and Tech console come included together or If we'd technically have to buy two subscriptions...? The Browser interface would be so handy, the Impero one we got shown at BETT seemed like most of our Teachers here would be able to pick it up quickly and implement it with laptops or if they were using a PC Suite.

Hey all, Long time reader, first time poster, please go easy... I've worked at my current school as one of 3 Techs for around 3 years now. We're making the move to Windows 10 on our Student network (we have two domains) and It's a massive job, but we're planning and planning and planning. Server Upgrade and Migration, 400 Workstation Redeployment to Win 10, GPO Reconfiguration etc all over the first week of the summer holidays. One thing we're stuck on is a new network management solution. Currently we use the vastly outdated but still super great Ranger Remote Control and LANRanger. Unfortunately they aren't compatible with Windows Server 2016 & Windows 10 1803 (and for some reason RRC stops our AV from updating its definition) so we need to move onto something else. I've been looking at all sorts of solutions, me and one other Tech went to BETT where we saw a great bunch, however it was all quite sales-y and we didn't get the most in-depth look at them. We've made a list of crucial and good-to-have points of what our current system gives us and I just can't find any one (or two) softwares that include it all. The exception is Impero, however we're a fairly rural public school and as such budget is tight... So far I've looked into Impero, NetSupport, Senso, ABTutor, GoverLAN, and LANSchool. Here's what we're looking for in our network management - - Remote Control + Workstation sorted into 'Room' categories - Control of room by room of Workstations - Disable Internet access per workstation on the fly - Teacher Access (Cross Domain or Internet Browser UI) - Restrict Maximum Logons Per User - Title Checks (Auto-Close window based on partial/full title match from list of words) - Run software/apps/scripts en masse per room on the fly - Scheduled Workstation Power Off - Workstation activity Logs (event logs) We use PDQ Deploy and Inventory so that covers a lot of deployment and Wake on LAN etc. We have a few iPads so it'd be a plus If it was cross OS, but not essential... Some Storage Quota control would be nice but push comes to shove we can control that through Windows Server. We're using GPO to lock down a lot of things, so really it's that list above that we just need to be able to manage... Sorry to pour all this on, there are just too many options and none of them seem to do everything we need! Will
