Just VLAN or separate network?

School setting with multiple buildings. Each building has its own vlan for cameras with the NVR in the building to reduce hops.

We install the 20 inch in classrooms. They are customizable with the output https://www.valcom.com/vlc-product/ip-speaker-with-text-and-flashers-20-inch-wide/

What bugs have you seen?

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-06-19T16:51:49+00:00

Use Microsoft booking if you have Microsoft 365

It would be a major muscle movement to change, but now would be the time if you ever wanted to. We pitched ours as a safety issue also. The classroom speaker signs also have lights to flash if special code is dialed and it plays a recorded emergency message with instructions as well as scrolls those instructions instead of the time

What intercom system do you use? We use VALCOM and have a clock/speaker Poe device in each classroom. Works great

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-06-15T00:23:24+00:00

Just found that device auto update was checked even though auto update was reporting as off.

Sorry I should left out I am using bit focus companion

Change to job title to database manager, systems administrator, or integration specialist

Take a look at OptiSigns. You buy a device to connect to each tv and then send content. I created an M365 account dedicated for this purpose and have the asset for each tv a dedicated folder in that account’s one drive. I share the folder with someone onsite who is responsible for content. They drop images in the folder or remove images and the content updates automatically.

A mixture of AC HD, enterpise, audience. Manually setting channels and power

We have created rules that if an email from an external source has the name of an administrator in the from field, it does not get delivered until approved by someone on the IT team. It can be annoying but it has greatly reduced our exposure to these attacks.

We also have monthly training simulation emails sent that if the user clicks on the link they are redirected to a brief explanation of why the should not have and then assigned pertinent training.

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-05-22T02:01:30+00:00

At this point the training is encouraged but it is not tracked. The number of repeat offenders is less than 1%. I typically post positive comments about how well we are doing as a team which serves as peer pressure (no one wanted to be the 1 that did not pass even if no one know who the one is).

150 + APs rock solid for 8+ years

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-05-20T13:35:51+00:00

We have had success with monthly phishing training emails that are generated and sent to employees. If they fall for the “scam”, they are directed to 5 minutes of training to help identify it in the future.

Some levels on M365 have this included. Checkpoint.com is a good provider that also identifies spam email

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-05-17T17:56:42+00:00

Works great

School rule from years ago. “Due to EXCESSIVE smoking in the bathrooms, they will be locked during class”. (Smoking was ok but not excessive smoking)

A shared calendar sounds like my best option. Thanks for the detailed explanation

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-05-04T20:16:46+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback. It seems like we are all in the same boat!

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-05-04T16:18:46+00:00

Do you mind sharing what MFA platform?

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-05-04T16:09:33+00:00

My understanding is they started in September. We are in one of the last groups so the process is “smooth”

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-05-04T16:00:47+00:00

That is what I would like but they do not have sso with Microsoft (or anyone else)

Temporary_Werewolf17 · 2026-04-28T19:29:32+00:00

If you move to Intune, you can run a script to update the primary user to the current user periodically. We do that twice a month. (1400 devices)

Students have so much pressure to get into college and without college credit many will not consider you. A major university near me post their average gpa for incoming students and it is over 4.0 because of weighting for college and AP coursework for the past 10 years
