A tech at a neighboring school advised that rather than entering IP addresses into the Configurator’s Host address/IP field (Locations & computers) to instead enter computer names.
A bit confusing to me but he said to make the Host address/IP field match the Name field when using DHCP assigned addresses.
As a workaround for monitoring audio you could install Stream What You Hear onto the client computers.

Use the SWYH HTTP Live Streaming option and a player like Media Player Classic Home Cinema.
In SWYH settings choose a specific HTTP port and automatically run on log in.
From the MPC-HC File menu select Open File then enter the client computer streaming URL:
http://ip-address:port/stream/swyh.mp3 or http://computername:port/stream/swyh.mp3
Audio playing on the chosen client computer will be heard on the Veyon master computer.
From a command prompt:
"C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe" http://10.62.64.75:5901/stream/swyh.mp3
"C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe" http://LABx64075:5901/stream/swyh.mp3
A suggestion would be to create a folder of player shortcuts on the desktop, one for each client computer either by name or IP.
We've kept the default Configurator path even though the redirected H:\Pictures folder would be the more practical. The original Windows 10 default profile folders should still exist so setting the Screenshots path to C:\Users\username\Pictures would save the files locally.
You might try mapping a P: drive directly to the roaming profile share \\<servername>\<fileshare>\<username>.V6\Pictures then set Configurator to use P:\ drive for storing screenshots. No way for me to test here.

Request logins using accounts with blank passwords be allowed as a configurable option.
We use Active Directory to assign generic accounts to particular workstations by MAC address. In this way accounts without passwords are limited to logins at specific sets of computers where security is controlled at the machine level.
Our library uses the limited PATRON account for public catalog and database access and for general browsing of our collection. It would be convenient to log in our public computers en masse using this password-less account.
Students and faculty requiring broader access also have the option to log in using their assigned domain account.
Use the Veyon ‘Run program’ feature for running either a Devcon or PnPUtil script to disable (and enable) the device’s HID-compliant touch screen drivers using the specific HID\VID device instance path(s) and without the need to restart Windows.
devcon enable "@HID\VID_056A&PID_00E6&MI_01&COL05\8&27A6CAE3&0&0004"
devcon enable "@HID\VID_056A&PID_00E6&MI_01&COL01\8&27A6CAE3&0&0000"
devcon disable "@HID\VID_056A&PID_00E6&MI_01&COL05\8&27A6CAE3&0&0004"
devcon disable "@HID\VID_056A&PID_00E6&MI_01&COL01\8&27A6CAE3&0&0000"
Disabling touch in this manner should still allow pen input.
Click the 'User custom computer arrangement' button located in the lower-right hand corner of the Veyon Master window then drag the computer icons to your preferred locations. The 'Align computers to grid' button found nearby is also useful for this purpose.
