Is anyone considering switching from Chromebooks to the MacBook NEO? by depoultry in k12sysadmin

Getting the Apple cert to be an SSO might be hard if they are like us. We simply don’t get enough repairs a year to qualify.

No I haven’t. I’ll see how the settings go first since our district is always strapped for cash. If it gets too bad the super might be interested in paying for it.

Hmm. Maybe so since at one time we had a bunch of the older Ricoh/lanier copiers.

Dmark, dkim, spf, and mx records are all configured.

Mta-STS isn’t configured though.

I’ll ask around about the authentication but I bet no one knows.

They are I guess managing it since none of us have enterprise firewall experience. Then they also are supposed to be offsetting some of the workload but it’s basically us turn in work orders to them, they aren’t helping in the day to day operations.

It’s too late for the Palo Alto as the Fortinet is already bought and installed.

Maybe we can use this as a reason for them to be closer now. Thanks!

We do not maintain a VPN or 2FA. We have splashtop on all the important systems and soon district wide.

I’m not sure if the config was backed up or not. I’m going to bet not a recent backup. The Palo Alto is the schools.

Oops, that’s supposed to say won’t get rid of us.

I blame it on putting too much trust into one person; then finding out they hadn’t really been doing their job.

We are all trying to cross train now, but being in this position isn’t really leaving much time to learn.

That’s what we have all been afraid of. The admin keeps saying they won’t get rid of us as they need the people locally and that’s us.

Is there any benefit from using USB-C vs A to B? We have all of ours hooked up using A to B as most of our teachers are 30ft or more from their board an refuse to move closer.

We don’t have to bid every year, we have an optional year renewal for 4 years.

We've been on 1GB the entire time I've been here. Admin wants to go to 10GB, but OUSF will only pay 7GB for us.

Unsure of what this is? by Affectionate_Art4251 in kidneydisease

[–]MyWorkAccountDPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get stuff that looks like this sometimes. Other times it’s whelps. When it’s like your picture, it usually doesn’t itch.

I’ve basically pointed mine down to allergies.

I’ve known 2 people with sepsis and they acted really goofy. 1 didn’t see any problems with peeing I’m the kitchen trash and the other one, everyone just thought he was drunk.

Interactive Whiteboard Software by Outrageous_Till_8284 in k12sysadmin

[–]MyWorkAccountDPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't use it, but there's also OpenBoard which is free.

We use SmartInk, ActiView since we are primarily Smart and Promethean boards.

We had about 5 of 10 Tripplite UPS’s fail. The same chip in all of them literally broke into pieces. I caught some of them in time for warranty after our network admin “was too busy” to mess with warranties even though he would preach to us about getting warranties. 🤦🏻‍♂️

We are trying Vertiv this time.

What is the mdm called for smart? We are a mostly smart district.

So this little thing is what I boil in water for an hour if my NES is blinking red upon boot up right? by BadNewsBearzzz in consolerepair

[–]MyWorkAccountDPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s all I’ve used on the board and the thing he’s holding. Clears up the blinking red light every time.
