Unfortunately we had had this same issue on our site. Bio store uses a software called ID Key on your machine to poll the finger print reader and then send the BioID via ActiveX to Oliver. How ever since Microsoft has removed Internet Explorer and removed ActiveX from Edge ID Key no longer works. Bio Store could easily build all this functionality into a chrome plugin for Edge but I doubt they will do this, since they do not care. In the mean time a lot of customers will have to continue paying for ID Key when it in fact is deprecated and does not work. Best bet is to just move to Wonde and use bar codes printed into planners or id badges if you can.

I use Regex for this: $IP = "10.75.241.225";if (-not ($IP -imatch "^([0-9]+).([0-9]+).([0-9]+).([0-9]+)$")) { Write-Host "Invalid IP Address";} else { Write-Host $Matches[1] Write-Host $Matches[2] Write-Host $Matches[3] Write-Host $Matches[4]} Also, if you need a pattern that also checks the IP is valid (each octet is 0-255) then: ^(2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]|[0-1]?[0-9]?[0-9]).(2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]|[0-1]?[0-9]?[0-9]).(2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]|[0-1]?[0-9]?[0-9]).(2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]|[0-1]?[0-9]?[0-9])$ P.S why do my code blocks ignore newlines on here?

I created a custom PowerShell to handle driver export and packaging. I then import to a folder and create a custom selection package that points to that folder. Then in my task sequence I used the WMI query to target the drivers to machines. I use MDTS instead of SCCM but they essentially work the same(ish) for OS Deployment.

Sadly not, everything must be accessible via cloud. Some staff use none windows devices like Apple and Android and a lot of staff work from home in the evenings.

The thing is devices onsite are used by 25+ different users a week each, they are currently all trying to use Sync and this is filling up hard drives and killing computers. I get users complaining about having to download files in Edge from SharePoint to open then is specific programs. I am just looking at a solution that can help please my users. On top of that, users are getting used to Cloud Speeds and when your dealing with huge files, I get a lot of complaints because the file either takes too long to open, or they have not waited long enough for the file to save and now its gone. An op-prem cache of some form would be extremely beneficial, in the past I have tried a solution like this and yes its reliability was questionable at best.

Looking for a way to map a 365 SharePoint to a network drive, that is cached some where onsite. I was thinking of maybe setting up a fileserver, logged into OneDrive with that SharePoint synced to a purpose specific OneDrive account with always available offline enabled. Then mapping my site machines to that synced folder on that server. Has anybody else tried this solution? Is there a better way anybody can suggest? I just need SharePoint in file explorer for none MS programs like 2D design tool and Photoshop.

WDS/MDTS is to my knowledge does not yet support Windows 11. This possibly might be supported in the next MDTS release or an update next year. How ever Microsoft are pushing Intune & cloud services, so the likely hood of MDTS supporting windows 11 is not very. However WDS should support windows 11 eventually, as you need to still be able to install windows to use in-tune. Truth is I do not think Windows 11 is ready for Enterprise use yet, its still missing features and is still full of bugs. I am a little out of the loop here, so take this advice with a pinch of salt, but somebody will probably correct me if I am wrong.

Few things to check: Are you running out of addresses? Right click your scope and view statistics. Do you have more then 1 DHCP server and is Failover/replication configured correctly? Do all your layer 3 switches have the IP helpers set for your DHCP server and are they in the correct order (DHCP should always be the first listed).

100% - AB Tutor is amazing. From A System Admin perspective I use it to deploy software via command Line.

We have 52 Unifi Pro APs, Originally we planned on HP Aruba but it was too darn expensive when you consider you need to pay a yearly license. Unifi how ever is amazing and you can host your own controller and there are no extra fees. Plus the range of devices you can get means that you can cover almost any weird need you have.

So recently I have started building a new MDTS image for my site and found myself needing to create new driver packages. So I wrote a PowerShell tool to extract drivers from a machine and organize them neatly. As well as creating the WMIC query used by SCCM or MDTS task sequences. The PS1 script can be found here: DriverExtractor.ps1 (github.com) You will need to edit the file to point to your Source Driver location on your SCCM/MDTS server before running it. The script will extract all drivers to "DriverSources/Computers/WMIC Name/", the WMI query will be saved as a txt file here to. You can specify driver classes to extract separately, by default printers & software components these will extract to "DriverSources/Printers/" & "DriverSources/SoftwareComponents/". Keep in mind this will take a fair amount of time to run, some devices have over 10GB of drivers (I am looking at your DELL!). Not sure if this will be useful to anybody else but I thought I would drop this here anyway.
