Licences for free apps on ASM are now unlimited (technically almost 2.15 million, max 32-bit signed integer) as of a few days ago, so there are no longer any buttons to get new licences if you've run out. This may require reinstalling the Content Token on your MDM (followed by a manual sync) to pick up the change, and at least for me, Mobile Guardian has been having trouble with getting Talking Tom onto one of our SEN department's iPads, claiming it cannot find a licence.Fri, 23 Oct 2026 13:30:58 +0000https://mynewterm.com/jobs/140884/EDV-2026-MA-89167Fri, 23 Oct 2026 13:19:06 +0000As seen on I am on dark mode, so used to flicking some posts to light to read pasted text, but on this one noticed the quote isn't affected by the light button, so you end up with a lightened post, with dark unreadable text in a quote. Just a niggle, easily gotten round with a highlight and probably the least of worries at the moment!Fri, 23 Oct 2026 08:21:04 +0000https://www.edugeek.net/news/11_events/edugeek-edsec-schedule-for-the-day-r450/Fri, 23 Oct 2026 08:05:00 +0000Hi Everyone , With my recent interest in AI coding , i have been creating web apps for the school and hosting it on our internal Linux server .

The LA filters the line with netsweeper, which we will obviously lose when we move. This will leave us with only Smoothwall. For those of you that have Smoothwall, do you just have Smoothwall or do you pair it with another device/firewall for peace of mind?Thu, 22 Oct 2026 16:17:44 +0000https://mynewterm.com/jobs/137052/EDV-2026-ENTDHO-75884Thu, 22 Oct 2026 14:44:40 +0000Maybe just a heads up, One of my tasks this week was a reminder to update our 3 instances of Entra Connect from version 2.6.1.0 to the latest 2.6.92.0 Each of them failed in the same way. 2 of the servers are server 2019 and 1 is 2022. Go to apply the update, gets right to the end and then fails with no reason in the log log by MS, Only way to get it to work again, is do a manual backup of your config, complete un-install using the latest installer as the un-install tool. Restart Complete fresh re-install Complete the setup whilst point it to your last config file you back up. Some MFA and setup of an AD account using your domain and 365 admin accounts. Restart again Force a sync and all seems to work again. Strange it happened with 3 different tennacies, worth watching out for. Feeding logs into co-pilot suggests its related to a timeout with App Registration which then leaves the upgrade in a state that it cannot finish or undo..... Only one or two drips from the forehead during this merry-go-round.Thu, 22 Oct 2026 13:55:55 +0000I'll ask the question but I don't know if I'll get a response, probably because no one uses it anymore. We're moving back to using MRBS since the cost of TES Room Booking System is a cost we could do without right now. I basically took a backup of the webserver running MRBS back in 2021 when we moved to the TES product and I've fairly recently got it back up and running (along with necessary updates I might add.) The issue we're running into is that it won't let normal users book anything past a certain date in the past (see below) and I can't find where this is defined in order to allow bookings past that date. We are running a slightly modified version (that I didn't set up) that takes into account a Week A/Week B setup so I don't want to have to start again if I can help it. Is there anyone who uses it or has used it in the past who knows what I need to change for this to work?Thu, 22 Oct 2026 13:17:05 +0000We have not moved to Next Gen yet, please can anyone share any insight on the reporting functionality of Next Gen. Due to the specific nature of our setting, we have developed a number of bespoke reports that we automate via command reporter. Can we still do this on Next Gen? Or will we be able to on Next Gen? It would be a huge loss if we couldn't do custom reports and automate them.Thu, 22 Oct 2026 12:49:14 +0000Good afternoon everyone, Our LA SIMS Support Team will no longer be offering SIMS support from April next year. They are fantastic, offering top notch support, so it's a real shame. We are looking at lots of options, including moving to another MIS so we can stay with them for support, along with looking at alternates like Bromcom and other SIMS Support Services. We are meeting after half term with all the relevant stakeholders with in our school to discuss options. One member of SLT is really pushing for staying with SIMS, does like change and just wants to go direct to SIMS/Parent Pay for support. He hardly ever uses the current SIMS Support, and can't see an issue. So basically, I'm looking for reviews on what direct support is actually like?

"Unfortunately, at the moment we only inform you that new categories have been added, not new sub-categories or amendments. I have passed this feedback on to the team." So if new sub-categories are added under higher level categories that you deem serious enough to block then the new sub-categories don't work on inheritence, they will remain unticked until you manually go in and address.Wed, 21 Oct 2026 09:23:38 +0000Good morning everyone, Just wondering if any schools work with any 3rd party IT support companies to get support from them. Such as a yearly contract for 3rd / 4th line support for your IT team to lean on if they are unsure of anything? I would be interested if anyone has any recommendations of companies. Thanks DaveWed, 21 Oct 2026 09:12:31 +0000Over the last few months I have been using AI to create internal tools like a Staff and students loan laptop loan, just wondering is any one else is using AI to do these things, as it seems AI tools to make bespoke unique tools is the best way forward for schools, because budgets are none exsistant. So I just created my own; the same for mass notification software and so many others I just want to see what other tools and unique situations others have come across where they created a tool using AI. Can anyone share their ideas... what I can use in school...Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:49:42 +0000We're currently recruiting for an IT Manager to join an established independent school in Surrey.

The Copilot troubleshooting steps asked me to check permissions, which were correct. it asked me to run several PowerShell commands, but they returned nothing useful. Eventually, it told me to log a support case with Microsoft. I may be missing something obvious, but I would have expected that running an Audit search with no filters selected would return at least some results. eDiscovery searches work fine; the issue only affects Audit searches. Copilot suggested that auditing may not be enabled or configured correctly for my tenant. Has anyone come across this before, or is there anything obvious I should check before raising a support case?Tue, 20 Oct 2026 13:41:30 +0000
