Hvordan få Uendelig Office 365 Education Lisenser

Hvis du er en kvalifisert skolekunde av Microsoft så kan du hente ned uendelig antall Office 365 Education lisenser for fakultet og student. Det er anbefalt å skille mellom lærer og elev/student. Noe funksjonalitet er avhengig av at lisensen er riktig.

Naviger til https://portal.office.com

Trykk på “Fakturering” og velg “Kjøp tjenester”

Husk å merk av for “Planer for Utdanning”

Hvis du ikke har kjøpt de før så havner de litt lengere ned på listen. Jeg har kjøpt det før så hos meg står det “Kjøpt” og jeg må trykke på de tre prikkene for å hente flere eller konvertere til “uendelige lisenser”

Trykk på “Endre lisensantall”

Velg så “Send inn” og du vil nå få uendelig lisenser for Office 365 A1 (Education)

Du får en oversikt over lisensene dine under “Fakturering” og “Abonnementer“

Activate Azure Enterprise Subscription

Hi, here is a quick walkthrough of how to activate your top level Azure Enterprise Subscription Account on https://ea.azure.com

This is where you define your organization, departments and organizational structure down to the individual faculty level.

NOTE: You do this before you log into https://portal.azure.com .

NOTE 2: DO NOT add student and teachers here. This is for administration, IT and some researchers. You add teachers and students later in https://portal.azure.com

Find your activation email and copy or click the link (if you click it, make sure you are not logged into any other account.)
Use your OFFICE 365/AZURE AD ACCOUNT for your enterprise. Do not use a Microsoft account such as @hotmail.com
Verify that you are using your correct workplace account to login to the service.
Verify that again. I am serious. Make sure you are using the right account. If you are unsure, stop what you are doing and email me hhauk@microsoft.com
Your EA subscription is now linked to your workplace account. You are done.

Now you should add extra administrators. Click on Manage and “Enrollment” and add minimum 2 named admins.

AddAdmin

Now, look at your organizational structure and start to add Departments. Remember to add administrators to each department.

AddDepartment (1)

AddAdmin2

Once you have set up your departments and accounts you may add additional subscriptions. Remember that services that run on different subscriptions do not talk to each other. Click Subscriptions and add extra subscriptions. You may create as many as you would like.

As you have multiple subscriptions with the same name, it is smart to change the name of each subscription. you do that in the https://portal.azure.com click on “Subscriptions” then select the subscription you would like to rename and click “Rename”

ChangeSubscriptionName

Finally it is time to add users or co-editors to your subscriptions. This can be students or teachers that only need access to this subscription for teaching or learning reasons.

Enable Microsoft Bookings in Office 365 Education

If Microsoft Bookings is not turned on for your organization by default, this is how you enable it.

My tenant setup

Office 365 A1 Education / Office 365 Education
My user is a Global Admin
Please note that Bookings is a Office 365 A3/E3 feature (I can enable it but not use it)

Step 1:

Navigate to https://portal.office.com

Step 2:

Click on Services and Addins (The image has local language)

Step 3:

Find Bookings in that list and click it

Step 4:

Make sure that the first slider is set to On

Please take a note of the feature in red.

This feature does 2 things:

Enables Facebook login which makes it easier for users outside your organization to book
Enables sharing to social media.

It is by default “Off”. I suggest setting this to “On” if you are only using bookings with users that belong to your Office 365 Organization. Then you force them to use their Office 365 credentials to login and book. If you want external users, consider setting this to “Off”

Adopted from the Microsoft guide here: Turn on Bookings (Microsoft)

Please se the guide above for instructions on how to turn off/on bookings for individual users.

Enable windows hello login with camera on Windows 10 Intune joined machines

Symptom:

If you have a Windows 10 machine with a camera that supports Windows hello login you might see that Windows Hello is disabled by administrator.

This is becasue of the Intune Policy in Microsoft Intune.

Implications:

Note, that if you want to enable Windows Hello you will also force the user that uses Azure AD join to enroll with a pin, adding an extra step to the Azure AD join process.

Steps:

Navigate to https://portal.azure.com and log in with admin credentials and select Intune.

Select then Device enrollment.

Select then Windows Enrollment

You should then see Windows Hello for Business, click it.

You may create several policies based on Groups. However there should be a default policy that is assigned to everyone.

I had the policy disabled. Now click enable.

You do not need to change any settings, just Ensure that you allow biometric auth. Then remember to click “Save”

That is it. On a Windows 10 Device you can update the policies or log off/on/restart to recieve this new policy.

You can also force this policy Down on the Device by syncronizing it:

Windows 10 Education devices benchmark with Novabench and AS SSD

Here is a comparison chart between a range of Windows 10 Based Education devices.

All devices are running Windows 10 1607.
They have recently been wiped and waited for windows update to remove all flags in device management
Running on battery with more than 60% charge
Devices are joined to Intune from OOBE
Tests ran 3 times on each device (score is had minor deviations)

The devices range from Pentium to Celeron CPU and from 64 gig to 256 gig SSD. Ram is 4 gig. The results on each device differ marginally each time i run the benchmarking tool.

These devices are all really cheap and start at 1800 NOK before VAT.

Chart (In progress*):

	HP X360	Lenovo N23	Acer B1 Spin	Lenovo Yoga 11E	HP Stream 11	Dell Latitude 3189
AS SSD Score	180			1607	153	673
Novabench Score	370			479	333	534
Max price NOK incl. VAT	4081	4081	3500	Not agreed	2500	Not agreed
Specs	Intel Celeron – 4/64	Intel Celeron 4/64	Intel Celeron 4/64	Intel Celeron N3450 – 4/128	Intel Celeron N3060 – 4/64	Intel Pentium N4200 – 4/128

What can you learn from this chart? There are difference performance, so having an opinion of what is good enough can save you some extra money when selecting a device. Will the user notice a difference, mabye… or mabye not.

Just keep in mind that a student does not need a super fast disk to write essay’s in word. But he will appreciate the extra power of a better CPU when having a Skype call and editing power point at the same time.

My opinion is that disk speed is the most important aspect of the devices. Even Celeron is good enough.

Here are the individual images from each test:

HP X360

Lenovo Yoga 11E

HP Stream 11

Dell Latitude 3189

Acer B118 Spin

Lenovo N23

Office 365 Education and Education Plus

If you see these licenses then the IT department has been working slower than their student and teacher needs. These licenses are self service licenses that any eligible student or teacher can sign up for at: http://office 365.com (use .no for Norwegian)

These licenses are not avaliable as a SKU and can not be placed by the distributor or reseller. They are “unlimited” in quantity.

Be aware that this might disrupt automatic license assignment via powershell and can disrupt the teacher/student.

Do not use this SKU unless you really have to. This is a last resort for the users when they are not provided the free services they have the rights to use.

You can read more about the Self Service Signup for Office 365 here: Education and Education plus Self Service

office 365 education plus teacher or student

Yes, it is possible to turn this off:

Surface Pro 4 Windows 10 Education Edition Intune Enrollment

Here is a video of how long time it takes to unbox, clean and setup a Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 Education and enroll it into Intune.

To enter Surface UEFI press pwr on and hold volume up. Release pwr button once you see the device turns on. Keep holding the volume up untill you se the UEFI.

Please keep in mind that these test are real life and include some lag typing in email and passwords plus some clicking. This would be a realistic scenario. This even Includes MFA on enrollment.
