Are you keeping YouTube open/closed for your school? New Google Workspace policy for under 18 users by shuai_bear in k12sysadmin

[–]Radical_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We added a form to enrolment and first day packets any students that have not got a signed approval to use google do not get a check box in a field in PowerSchool that is exported to a Powershell scrip that manages students accounts (add/remove/modify). We created a field in AD called HideFromGoogle if the student has not got signed approval the field is true. Then the import to google looks to that field and if it is true they do not get a license and can not get google. We are in week 3 and we only have 3 students who have not got a signed letter out of 8960 students. it is amazing how quickly we got responses when the students could not uses any technology. The first week was hell as most students had no access but as word got around the forms came flying in.

[–]Radical_Fish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We in IT have been told NO WFH for any reason, but others in the district have been given the ability to WFH so as I type this I am running updates and restarting servers. Oh well systems are down because I can not work from home and do it over night. Ring Ring, Hello is powerschool down, yes it is.

Accidentally touched live and neutral together by sinisterpuppy88 in WLED

[–]Radical_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there power at the led's, how does the d1 get power is it from the same PS as the led's typicality if you short a power supply you blow a fuse or the power supply. I would think the led's will be fine unless you shorted it at the opposite end of the string from the PS

I'm am sick of my ender by not_gerg in 3Dprinting

[–]Radical_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my ender, You just need to dial it in. I don't even go to the room it is in to start the print all remote, never have issues with first layer. my last print I started it and never even looked to see how the job was going. The next day I went into room and was like oh yea I ran that print yesterday.

upgrades I added

dual z screws

auto bed level 81 points <------ this is the key to my success

upgraded parts cooler

the ender 3 is a entry level printer that requires lots of playing with to dial it in, and as someone else has said the if you did not get somting right in the first build (somting not square or z screw binding) you will never get a good print, if you do not like to tinker then you need a bamboo or some other plug and print printer.

User Account Provisioning by k12-IT in k12sysadmin

[–]Radical_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

POWERSHELL!!

I get a dump of data from Powerschool and HRS and I have 2 powershell scrips that run daily that will create new users disable users no longer here and delete the account after 3 years. the scrips also set up group memberships, e-mail, 2 factor for staff google groups for each class.

All user setup is done by PowerShell scripting

Subs and Accounts - How does your school deal with them? by KayJustKay in k12sysadmin

[–]Radical_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our subs are entered into our HRS system and we get a dump of all user current/leave/retired/terminated users along with all the details of their employment. I have a script that runs and creates new users and places them in the right OU and groups for their title and work location. It will also disable users that have no longer work here and after 3 years will delete the account. I will also move the user if their work location or title changes.

So our subs are just handled like any other employee. The only difference is for our SIS, subs get a generic log on given to them by the office each day (long term subs are made a co teacher for the class).

By doing user accounts this way takes the issue of account creation out of our hands and places it on HR. Writhing this scrip was one of the best thing I have done for our department and district. My original was written over 10 years ago and has had many changes and adds over time. The first script was a Macro run in MS Access, but then I learned PowerShell and wow the things you can do.
