What to do with devices on the same WiFi channel

School environment with 150 APs. we are using 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz bands and channel widths are 20 MHz. All channels are set manually. We are seeing many (250+) devices that are transmitting on the same channels Printers, SMART Tvs and cars in the parking lot mainly. Is there anything we can do improve our service? With the large number of devices, it seems that adjusting my channels to not interfere will be almost impossible.

Duckduckgo installed by students without admin privileges

Windows 11 Pro units managed by Intune. Students are not admins on the machines. We discovered a few students today who have been able to install duckduckgo on their machines. Have any of you seen this issue? Any recs on how to stop this?

Document Camera preferences

My classrooms have Viewsonic IFPs with a Windows VPC. Admin has asked about Document cameras for the teachers to use. Any recommendations on brand or special features? I believe that the myViewboard software will allow document camera use within the software, so teachers do not have to change inputs

Access Points are physically sticky

I have been using UniFi for wireless for many years. When we replace an access point it is sticky to the touch. We are in a school so the environment is climate controlled.

Do you notice this with your APs also?

Does Microsoft throttle connections?

We are a k12 school using Microsoft with 1:1 surface devices. We are seeing sync issues with both OneNote and OneDrive that we can not explain. Many of the units were not powered on over the summer so probably a large number need the June and July updates.

My theory is that Microsoft is throttling the traffic from our IP or tenant. Anyone know if that is a practice the Microsoft implements?

Microsoft 365 apps not install on neo

I have 50 Mac OS devices managed in intune and I push edge and the 365 apps to them. I have just deployed 7 MacBook neo units and edge deployed fine to all of them along with a WiFi configuration profile. On 6 of the 7 the Microsoft 365 apps are not installed. Intune reports all as waiting for install status.

I configured all three days ago and none installed over the span of 2-3 hours.

Has anyone seen this behavior or have suggestions?

O365 email and apple mail

We are in a mixed OS environment and I have one user on a mac that is having issues with email in the mail app. Emails after June 11 would not load. We deleted the account and added it again and it is now attempting to load emails for the last 24 hours. A quick search found this string (https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/s/yZlMToosGa) so I moved him to outlook which loaded the emails immediately. He does not like outlook so I wanted to know if anyone has had any suggestions on getting O365 to work on the mail app?

Auto updates off but auto updated?

I had two NVRs update protect from 7.1.69 to 7.1.77 today even though auto update is off. I was reviewing footage on one and it updated so I assumed initiated it mistakenly. I moved to the second one and it updated also. Has anyone else seen this behavior

Triggers to press button

I have a button programmed to complete multiple tasks to set our systems for the beginning of an event. Is it possible to create a trigger to “press” the button at a specified time?

OneDrive sync randomly breaking + forcing full resync? Anyone else seeing this?

I’ve got a handful of users running into a weird OneDrive issue:

  • Sync works fine for a while
  • Then randomly throws “unable to sync” errors
  • Only fix so far is re-running setup and pointing back to the same folder

The problem is—it kicks off what looks like a full re-sync (not just incremental), and it can take hours.

Right now it’s only hitting a small % of users, but it’s happening often enough that I’m worried it could start spreading.

Couple questions for anyone else dealing with this:

  • Are you seeing similar behavior lately?
  • Any better fix than blowing away and re-linking OneDrive?
  • Ways to avoid the full re-sync when reconnecting?
  • Anything obvious I should be checking (client version, known bugs, etc.)?

Feels like something deeper than user error or a one-off, but I haven’t pinned it down yet.

I have a user who needs to create a calendar of major events in our organization for others to view. I see that she can add a calendar and then share it with view-only rights. Is that the best solution?

Our SIS has just enforced two factor authentication for all faculty and staff. They require daily verification codes. How often does your system require faculty and staff to authenticate?
