Does your school have any software to lock your PC?

[Samishlol]

We have Classlink the teacher can see what you are doing, take control of your pc, lock the pcs and shutdown/logoff the pcs.

Yes we have that but it's called Remote Ranger for us

Our school has NetOps

[Agesilaus]

Where I am in Australia. Our school doesn't give all teachers that kind of access, only Network Administrators do such as the Librarian and IT teachers since most of the teachers in the other faculties don't like/know how to use the software correctly, only basic stuff. But they don't give them access for that.

I've never actually heard of anyone being 'taken over' while at the computer, only filtering websites that they go on or ban the student's internet account. I've known about it, but haven't really thought about asking what type of software they use for that as no one seems to use it. I mean, they probably have, but not heard of it happen. Not around my year group, anyway.

Ours had NetOp & AB Tutor Control. Both of them were irritating hehe, but I remember once we found a way to stop it. I can't remember what it was now... We'd always get around the filters put on us haha.

RM Tutor 3, but it's easy to work around. Depending on your school settings, non-staff accounts can access the program by typing the location of the EXE in your IE address bar.

On top of that, those opting for ICT with edexcel will be granted "advanced user" permissions to enable them to run macros. This gives you "run" in your start menu so you can access command prompt.

One tip,

Any exe can be stored from an external device into C:\ and also can be run on C:\

RM doesnt prevent execution from the terminal hard disk which is a big security flaw.
