Creating an installation package (line-of-business app) in Intune
In order to install NetSupport School via Intune, you must create a line-of-business app within Intune. Line-of-business apps are essentially applications that you install via an installation file.
In addition to remotely launching Office 365 apps (amongst others) and directly integrating with OneDrive, the updated app leverages its close integration with Office 365 to enable teachers to add key lesson resources and information from the Student Journal to a OneNote Class Notebook to share with students.
Teamviewer for both Windows and Mac, We have it installed on over 300 devices, and Teamviewer 13 now can even do smartphones, both Android and Apple. If the school system hands out cell phones to the staff you could add that in as well. Teamviwer will allow for a tree structure setup
I'd love to add ConnectWise Control (our Remote Support software) to the mix for your school! We have 4 different tiers Opens a new window of pricing and features (ranging from Free to Premium). We can handle the 300+ devices (both PCs and Macs) that you need to support. Since trial is the best way to experience a software, you can test out our Premium features to see if it'd be a good match by signing up for ConnectWise Control Free Opens a new window! You start off with 14 free days of Premium features. After the first 14 days, you can stick with your free account, or choose the plan that best meets your IT needs!
We are a school district that used to be windows (aprox 750+ devices) and a few Macs. We have since gone apple 1 to 1. I used PDQ deploy and created a VNC package to push out to all windows machines. It was a tremendous help. Also PDQ deploy made it easy to update software on the windows clients.
In our district 65K computers we user Dameware for remote access and PDQ Inventory and PDQ deploy for installing programs and keeping them up to date. Most schools now use Spiceworks for teachers/staff to put in requests and we recently added EMCO MSI builder for the software that does not support mass deployments. Teachers use Lenovo LanSchool for classroom control.
We went with ManageEngine DesktopCentral , so we got the remote capabilities, plus patching, Ability to push application installs, inventory, and more..
Multiple user screens ? not an issue, Launching tool as the admin on the remote machine so you can troubleshoot issues ? just one click away. Find what computer a user is on based on the users login name ? Easy, just scroll through the list. (Users never seem to know the name of the PC they are working on) Manage engine will push the agents to the machines itself, no need to use a third party product for that. it handles all our patching needs for Microsoft and third party apps. I used it to deploy the initial Win 10 Upgrades, then the subsequent Win 10 Creators edition update to all the machines on our network.
Goodbye and good riddance to logmein, teamviewer and all the other cloud based solutions. Just not a fan of paying monthly subscriptions for cloud based apps, but maybe that's just me.

As previously mentioned Citrix is a pretty good software. On similar projects for private schools on a budget, I used Guacamole Opens a new window. It's a clientless remote client gateway that supports VNC, SSH, and RDP.
