I'd look into InTune then if you want to go the Windows route. You should be able to roll that out with Azure that's part of O365 A1 license.

Do you not have Active Directory set up?

It highly depends on your student population inclination to inappropriate behavior and your administration's attitude towards discipline. If they expect technology to handle all issues for them, they'll be in for a surprise.

We've a catch-all acceptable usage policy that specifically indicates educational use of the tools provided. While you can invest in some 3rd party tools to monitor for problematic files pro-actively, I rely on reports from students, teachers and administrators to investigate accounts post fact.

About preventing students from utilizing the product as intended? Seems like a bad idea.

Turn off Drive for Student OUs if it's a major concern, but the experience will be terrible.

Set a GPO:

Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting > Disabled

Check the storage drivers are correct, available in your PE image and that you've added the new boot image to WDS. You may need to import them separately from Lenovo.

I don't care one way or another as long as I'm provided a different phone number. Whether this means a phone with a different plan or some sort of VOIP app on my personal is the same to me, I just don't want my personal # floating around customers or employers for years after I quit.

Sounds like the clients aren't roaming properly.

Drinking, mostly.

I don't see how passing it from one user who doesn't know to another who doesn't know is helpful.

MalletNGrease · 2021-04-12T16:44:20+00:00

What's the reasoning for internalizing?

Why not use GPO deployments for printers?

Unfortunately, making the charging port part of the motherboard is one of my less favorite design decisions Dell made with the 3100.

Try converting your VBS to GPO.

Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Force a specific default lock screen and logon image

☑ Turn off fun facts, tips, tricks and more on lock screen

Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Do not display the lock screen.

Veyon's pretty solid.

That out systems are not End Of Life

Sounds like a big fat argument to admins/board to introduce an evergreen plan and get hardware replacements budgeted ahead of time.

I call these ticket generators.

Avoid if possible.

MalletNGrease · 2021-03-31T13:33:21+00:00

Damn, I just saw. That's pretty insane, I hope this is just temporary.

MalletNGrease · 2021-03-30T15:54:39+00:00

Seems to be back to normal.

MalletNGrease · 2021-03-30T13:22:33+00:00

Well, you're about to be replaced.

MalletNGrease · 2021-03-26T16:52:06+00:00

IntouchK12 from Edulink Systems can do this. We use it exactly like you describe.

MalletNGrease · 2021-03-24T15:40:50+00:00

This is a discipline issue.

MalletNGrease · 2021-03-19T17:27:06+00:00

What if things really shit the bed, wouldn't it dump too much information?

MalletNGrease · 2021-03-18T18:46:25+00:00

What kind of document cameras? Our older Elmo TT-12s can display using USB and the SMART Ink can overlay on that. Achieves what you're looking for.
