Fix for this is to revert to an earlier version of Microsoft. I have a .bat file here

Do you know - does this only affect O365 Office users?
So far Windows O365 users are the only ones that are chirping to me. I do have two users who aren't on O365 who aren't complaining...yet.

This worked perfectly!

I've installed Circle which allows to set time constraints and such. It also has safety measures for websites visited, but whether its enough I think depends on the kids using it. Boy did my wife get pissed when I set her to a max of 7 hours of being on the internet and she used it by 5pm LOL.
I'd probably get beaten!

Has anyone ever turned a Win Laptop into Chrome? https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/06/13/how-to-turn-your-old-slow-laptop-into-a-sleek-chromebook/
I have. Used two laptops for my kids. It isn't a true Chrome OS but it works well. The kids were able to see all they should have for school accounts.
Do those run Android apps like some Chromebooks do? That would be a big benefit. What about Linux apps?
I don't have them anymore I had to buy an actual chromebook for my oldest daughter. With it not being a true ChromeOS they wouldn't put it on the student WiFi so she was always on the guest wifi and complained because it was slow.

Bought one for my daughter for school in July 2019. Acer 4GB RAM and 32 GB Storage. Spent $299 but a lot of the research I did said that the ones that were under the $150 range were crap but who knows. With her school being a complete Google classroom type, she hasn't had any issues with it.

The specified network name is no longer available
I recall something a while back with AV issues. But are you using the FQDN? domain.local or domain.whatever ?

Look at Tech Soup. Great tool for Non-Profits. When we were figuring out what we needed for our move to O365 they were very helpful in assisting us with the right licensing and not getting things we didn't need.
One thing about Tech Soup, they don't sell the Azure AD premium licenses.
Forgot about that part...Ask me how I know
