[Informatics] Slighty off topic BYOD question

[Glennie, Derek D]

Thanks Stuart,



The issue we have with domain connection is that the provider is offering devices with windows home edition. My technician is telling me that we need professional or enterprise edition to facilitate a connection to the domain.. The provider is also telling me in the same breath that they've never dealt with a school who wanted to do it this way.



I'm the unfortunate peon in the middle.



May I ask which version of windows you guys are using?



Cheers

Derek

In theory what the provider is saying is correct – but in reality that’d mean the technicians would be trouble shooting every time a student tries to print, access resources on the network etc.

With our BYOD we stated they needed to connect to the school domain, which about half of the kids were able to figure out using the instructions we provided (it’s amazing how much of an incentive free wifi is)

Morning folks,

Hope this finds you all in good spirits leading up to exam day.

Quick question as I know there are some e-learning coordinators on the list:

We are rolling out a BYOD platform next year and my technician is trying to tell me all devices must be connected to the school domain as we have done with the school provided devices... Our product provider is suggesting that's ridiculous and all students should simply access the wifi using their edu002 credentials and use local passwords when connecting to network devices like printers.

I'm hoping to get the opinions of others in here? anyone had any experience with connectivity and BYOD?

Thanks in advance,

Derek
