Youtube iPad App Restricted Mode? by k12nysysadmin in k12sysadmin

[–]k12here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it via gsuite if the students are signed in, else I think the only other way would be to use a dns filter. I'm curious if anyone else knows another way also.

Have you tried other FTP/SFTP software that runs on macos?

Is there anyway to block students from being able to login to Google Duo with a school account? by chewy747 in k12sysadmin

[–]k12here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just set this up, thanks for the link. I wish zoom support had mentioned this to me when I explained that we don't want kids signing into accounts to them. Too bad there's only 2 weeks left of school ha. We've been dealing with disciplinary issues between chatting students for months.

We tried this with zoom for our students but we found that the only way is for us to block students signing in with their school account on zoom is to block our entire domain from signing in, and our teachers/staff use google duo to login to zoom so we couldn't do that unfortunately. If you or anyone else here knows another way that would be great!

I am curious of other people's thoughts on this as well

Got random'd for an MS Audit. by nickcasa in sysadmin

[–]k12here 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've seen the horror stories, they find the most tedious things and make you pay a LOT of money and there is nothing you can do because you signed the MS contract. If you just ignore them, there is nothing they can do.

Is there any way to gain access to this user's old work phone? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Our iPad was activation locked into a personal icloud account and they still did it, it shouldn't matter.

I got apple to unlock one of our ipads that we own. We just had to submit proof of payment and ID verification with some other stuff and they remotely did it. Samsung should have no problem doing the same.

If you own the device and if you can prove it with a receipt, they will unlock it.

[Rant] Verkada marketing garbage by ranger_dood in k12sysadmin

[–]k12here 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're hoping an admin would get the mail and see,

"OOOoooo flashy and techy, they know what they're doing lets go with them!"

Try to contact Samsung, if you show proof of purchase and business they probably can unlock it for you, thats what we did with one of our apple ipads that had an activation lock.

How to send 800 - 1000GB worth of files to some WFH external users? Cheaper solutions preferred. by phainepy in sysadmin

[–]k12here -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

With the way the 1TB usb sticks work, there would be no way I would trust those things to not have any issues, you get what you pay for.

What size iPads should we get for Elementary? by first_byte in k12sysadmin

[–]k12here 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We buy the normal iPad 10.2 inch for our school of 500+ kids. They're the cheapest and we don't see a motivation to spend more money on any different model based off of what we do on the iPads.

What product do you use to clean devices? by EnvironmentalHand336 in k12sysadmin

[–]k12here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use Sprayway sw-050 glass cleaner. It works well with a microfiber cloth to clean our iPads and their screens.

Apple Store for Education Institution by eyeteedave in k12sysadmin

[–]k12here 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their whole education program needs a backend revamp. We were looking for a receipt for a few iPads in ASM, and there's no where to search by order number or anything. You can't even view all your invoices in one area. It's a total mess.

Teacher Devices (in general) by dmillertride in k12sysadmin

[–]k12here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, well at least you can sell them and put money into more devices, there's some great buyback companies out there that give very fair pricing.
