Unfortunately not we had to recreate the majority at every sublevel as well. We haven't seen the results of removing KB5083769 yet as we worked around it but it would be just like M$ to introduce 10 fixes and 11 breakages..

Apologies, i did not give you our full fix we had to create a new folder in the same location as the previous one and then recreate the shortcuts inside that and it worked(copying the previous broken shortcuts did not), wierd and unexplainable i know but I promise you it worked for us we had a backup of the shortcuts folder and restoring that elsewhere and then drag and dropping into new folder worked on some and saved us a little time but we still had to redo the majority of them.

we had this problem on redirected start menus just this week, and had to remake all our shortcuts,wierdly it then worked fine, as it has been for years on windows 11.

what am i missing, if they are domain joined won't a gpo sort out which sid they connect to apologies if i am missing the obvious.

In your wireless network settings for the ssid you need to isolate, choose 'Apply guest policies (captive portal, guest authentication, access)'

No but it certainly looked like one i agree, we binned it off in the end.

Has anyone ever come across a Adam Coleman at edurator, they sent our finance director an email offering a free spreadsheet that compares us against similar schools around the country but me being me thought it looked odd particularly given that its free and that edrator.com which was the reply email domain does not exist? thanks in advance.

we have used quest vranger its really good as well, we hit the the 5tb size limit for VEEAM community but i agree with what others have said VEEAM is brilliant too.

Sorry to bring this old thread back to life but for those of you using Veeam and restore option is there a time limit to how long this works for? What i mean is, i have done a restore as suggested above connected it to a separate network and disconnected the network card on boot as a belts and braces approach and sims loads and works fine and dandy but i worry that windows will stop working overtime, become unlicensed or some other such peculiarity from Microsoft, so just checking with anyone that they have done this over the years and been able to switch it back on without issues.

you need to create a new package from within the software library with a command line shutdown-exe -t0, see here for instructions

I'll be monitoring this as we are moving away from the sims parent app which is excellent for data collection as it prepopulates the data we already hold and parents simply update it. but we are moving to sims next gen and already have satchel and the sims parent lite app didn't get rave reviews on here.

That is odd then as both Am and Pm should as you rightly point out be populated with Z's with no option to change. So you will need to escalate to ESS support.

Is this in sims.net ? have you checked the start date?

Be sure to factor in the cost of a decent firewall if you intend to go off network, lots of routers come with them built in but you'll need to know how to get it locked down really well.

My initial thoughts are I agree this seems to be a bit off, but public interest probably does come into play here, many schools publish names and pictures of their staff on school websites and i doubt the staff had much choice over that. It might be worth asking one of the teachers their views on it and seeing if they have any specific concerns.
