Samsung Chromebox issue

Does anyone here have some Samsung Chromebox's? I have 16 and this afternoon they have stopped all users logging on although our other chromebooks are fine. I suspect an update has bricked them but not sure yet.

I suspect an update has bricked them but not sure yet.

Not sure about the Chromeboxes, but Google are withholding the latest ChromeOS update for Samsung Chromebooks.

 

Stable Channel Update for Chrome OS

The Stable channel has been updated to 33.0.1750.124 (Platform version: 5116.88.0) for all Chrome OS devices except Samsung Chromebook. This build contains a number of bug fixes, security updates and feature enhancements. Systems will be receiving updates over the next several days. (Source)

the only way I have got around this (in case anyone else wondered) is I created a subgroup and had to remove any domain sign in restriction so just hope no one figures this out for now. I even set it to not update, reimaged the things, logged in to see it say "set to not update by administrator" and then watched as they all restarted and updated.

Not best pleased but if this is the hand I have been dealt then I shall play.
