I'm not booking anything. Like you say just having a wander around, stopping at stands which take interest

Sorry not an answer to your question, but I'm glad to see that MDT still works with Win11. As I'm sure its not officially supported anymore.. (from what i've read) Looks like dark mode. Does this theme only appear for teachers?

Run a gpresult as the user & look through policies. Is there any evidence of Delprof (or something similar) on the network, which is affecting these 2 users

Anyone having issues this morning? Running very slow

Bit late but i believe if you hold down Y or Triangle for a few seconds it resets the car onto the track. If its similar to Forza Horizon 4 there will be some sort of "Rewind" feature also..

I'd just like to say thanks! Suddenly our task sequence started doing the same. Applied your suggestion & it now works!

I'm getting traffic on UDP port 3483 from IP 17.188.171.132 All being blocked by default FW rule however.

mRemote NG is brilliant, i'd be lost without it!

Used to, but don't anymore. I find it beneficial to have. I wouldn't worry about Sophos being visible. Nothing can be done without the tamper protection password if its the antivirus you are talking about

I keep my distance as much as possible lol. Avoid going out of office if I can during break/lunch especially.

Seems to be a lot going round at the moment! A few family members i've spoken to are suffering with a bad cough & light-headedness

Happy new year everybody! Here's to a good one!

any beeps/error lights? Do you have a spare stick of memory to try? Or try in another slot? Are you able to jump the pc on with a screwdriver on the PWR pins? *edit to correct typo

Working from home today - did a fresh ESXi install to 8.0 (to an SD card, not ideal but will do), I now have moved the secondary DC over to the other server so I have a bit of redundancy now! Hope you are all enjoying the Christmas break

Sounds similar to our setup, only difference is all of our switches are now gigabit capable. We only have single uplinks for all edge switches. I did end up buying a spare E5406zl (£450 on ebay with all required modules beside 10gbE, which I copied the config to & now sits in a cupboard in the server room just incase.

Oh sorry haha! Yes going to look into over the holiday on a quiet day

I couldn't seem to get it to boot once it was copied over to the host running ESXi 6.5 (unless i booted into safe mode).

Yea its just a barebones secondary DC, has the basic roles installed & AAD connect setup in staging mode.. I left it as is & fired back up on original host when I discovered that I couldn't run the VM on the old host. I'm going to either look at upgrading the ESXi on Host B to 8.0 (if it supports it, haven't had chance to check yet - HP ProLiant Gen 10), or replacing the server all together & buying lower spec Dell Poweredge just to run the second DC & some other stuff, so theres a bit of resilience in the event of a failure. We do have next day warranty on the main server, however its the downtime inbetween.

That explains it then, the VM is unsupported on the older ESXi. Maximum VM Compatibility I can select in the converter is 14. Thank you!

Question for you Vmware wizards I have two hosts - - Host A = ESXI 8.0 - Host B = ESXI 6.5 (i know don't yell at me!) At the moment, all critical VM's are on Host A & I would like to move my second DC onto Host B, so there is some resiliency incase of a total failure of one of the hosts. The VM i'm trying to move was created on Host A & is running Server 2022. I have tried using the Vmware Converter Client. This does happily move/copy across the VM to the other host, however I cannot get it to boot unless I boot into safemode.. When I look in device manager in safe mode, it says there is an issue with a "Generic PnP Monitor" Driver. I have tried uninstalling this/disabling while in safe mode, however no dice. If I leave the VM to run on the Boot splash screen with the windows logo, the circle just spins forever, sometimes even freezes all together. Is there a compatibility issue with running a newer VM on an older ESXi? I would have thought that with it only being a couple of versions behind, it wouldn't have been an issue One thing I haven't tried yet, is doing a full VM restore using Veeam, instead of using the converter.

We use Bromcom as our MIS, however we use ParentPay topping up lunch money.. It would be worth an email to ask regarding MCAS - I would be surprised if they didn't support it.

If you are looking to change from Civica, I can recommend Vericool Cashless Catering. They offer both on-prem and cloud solutions. We have had them at our school for many years now, never really had a complaint. Support is good - tickets are always responded to within a couple of hours at most.

I've been looking at the Watchguard M390 with Security Suite to replace our Sophos XG210. Out of interest why did you opt for separate filtering solution? Is the Lightspeed cloud also?

sophos XG210 with FastVue for enhanced reports. Looking to upgrade within the next year though

I agree with you - My school was enrolled into a Cyber Insurance policy without my knowledge & I was presented with a checklist one day to see if we met their standard.
