Windows 10 - Is it time?

[mullet_man]

supposedly, the last day to get Windows 10 upgrade for free is July 31st. I've deployed it on all my computers at work and glad I did. Makes my job as an Admin much easier.

 

In what ways?

[mullet_man]

Do you know the rough date of the release?

 

2nd of August. Think of my plan will be to get other jobs ticked off first then build a new image and deploy that later in the holidays.

Thanks, yeah same as us to give more time to play around with it all as we haven't attempted Windows 10 at all here yet, but want to start soon with it.

You've tested with Office 2016?

 

Sorry, I missed this.

 

I've run the system requirements test, I haven't yet run a full test using Office 2016, but this bit works and opens the applications up fine. This is using Windows 10 Education with Office 2016 (64 Bit)

I've put deployment on hold now until after the anniversary update.

 

The technical previews use a .v6 profile suggesting that the update is kinda like a new OS? Does anyone know if we will need a new ADK and whatnot?

It says OK so am guessing it's now working with Office 2016.

 

Thanks

Not as such, when you start the ECDL program in the browser, there is no option for Office 2016.

Ah ok, must still be a work in progress. Hopefully as they've told you should be sorted for September.

Does anyone know if we will need a new ADK and whatnot?

Almost certainly. The updated ADK will also include the new App-V Sequencer and UE-V Template Generator now that App-V and UE-V are built into Windows.

Windows 10 Anniversary Edition will update roaming profiles to a .v6 extension, confirmed by MS.

 

Joy of joys.

Makes you wonder what exactly are the differences between v5 and v6 - lets just hope that doesn't mean they'll be absolutely massive!

Any links on how to create roaming profiles for Windows 10?

[Michael]

Create a Profile$ share, then specify the path in AD for that user -

 

\\Servername\Profiles$\username

(don't add .v5 or .v6), leave the extension blank.

 

If you mean a mandatory profile, you need to copy the default profile first (within Windows 10) to the Profiles$ share.

You need to do a lot more than that. You need to copy it twice, change one to .MAN, log in with the .DAT, modify the profile as necessary, export the keys from the .DAT, import them into the .MAN.

If you actually log in with the .MAN profile, it breaks the start menu. Huge ballache.

Any news on the confirmation from

BCS yet @FN-GM?

Nope. Being a pain in the rear as usual. They shouldn't be allowed to call themselves the British Computer Society.

Thanks. Can't see them not getting it sorted before Sept.
