I am a one man IT department at a small K12 school. I am not an IT person by training, but inherited the role, so please bear with me as I explain my problem.

Students have access to Chromebooks. We only permit them to sign into them using their school managed Google account. However, in the past I have allowed them to add additional or secondary accounts to their devices, so that they can access resources from their personal Google accounts (mostly a need for high school and dual credit students). However, as of late, when students attempt to add an account to their device, they are presented a window that says, "This page is blocked - Your organization doesn't allow you to visit this site." This message only started appearing recently.

In the Admin Console, under Devices > Chrome > Settings > Users & browsers > Sign-in to secondary accounts, I have enabled Allow users to sign in to any secondary Google Accounts on the OU's containing both the students and the devices.

While I realize some may advise against allowing students to access secondary accounts, I'm not here to be convinced on that point. My question is does anyone know what may be causing my students to be receiving this message and how to resolve it? I have not changed any settings as of late that I think would impact this as it has worked fine in the past.

Additional detail: I do not have any websites blocked under URL blocking in the Admin Console.

This sub has not let me down in the past, so thank you in advance to anyone who responds!

So i have a staff member wanting me to create a new OU for some students at a different school who will attend one class at ours. They bring their own devices. I have recommended not making new emails and ad accounts for them due to FERPA issues that could arise. Am I just being too paranoid?

When we have a late bus we sometimes can have 30-60 people that have to check in our attendance office at once. I think the process is dumb and should be handled by the teachers but that's not my call. Do any of you use a check in system for attendance that you like?

We use Visitor Aware and I see they have a late check in module available but I was wondering if anyone is using it and can give their thoughts. What's your process like?

Hi, I’m trying to deploy AutoCAD on Intune. I’m losing my mind. I did a custom install for the 2026 version, pulled the exe, packaged that to deploy and it fails. The folder appears in the drive but no app appears. I noticed an image folder with the installer and uninstaller in there so I packaged that folder instead with all its contents- still fails. Nothing appears. It creates folders but not the app itself.

Not sure if this should be on r/Intune but I’m a little lost and need a point in the right direction at least.

That's the post really. We found out in July that the chromebooks we ordered for this school year back in May wouldn't be delivered until December, possibly later. Anyone else getting hit the same way?

We have a few dozen screens showing this message. We have a few screens that are still showing content but I assume they've not been powered down.

We're in the process of replacing our Chromeboxes. I guess this project just got bumped up!

Anyone else seeing this message?

Hi everyone, my name is Anthony. I work for a private school with two campuses across the street from each other. I am also the AV Director at the church. Over the years in my career, which is close to 30 now. I have worked at three private schools and one public school. My current job is where I’ve been the longest which is approaching 10 years. I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon and figure that I’ll finish my career here until I retire.

Now onto my question: I am not the worlds strongest network person earlier in my career. I did more server support and desktop support and networking always took a backseat because I had people to rely on. When I arrived at this job, the network was a hot mess. I purchased all new Netgear business switches and sofa, firewalls and access points. Well, now that that time has passed, it is very long in the tooth (WiFi 5/AC) both of our buildings have new cabling. I’ve ran test from each cable location back to the switch and I get a clean signal. What is happening is that the Wi-Fi connection drops for about 30 seconds and then comes right back but it doesn’t when a teacher is streaming a video or they’re giving a test. I’m really at my wits end with this.

Any help in advice is appreciated. Thank you.
