While Action1 sounds like a solid solution, I completely understand the budgetary constraints you're facing, especially in schools where every penny counts. In our case, we found that Patch My PC strikes a good balance between cost and functionality. It's quite cost-effective compared to some of the higher-end solutions like Action1 or Rapid7, but still covers patch management and some basic vulnerability detection. Additionally, if you’re looking for something more robust but still mindful of cost, tools like ManageEngine and Zoho can offer patching along with other features such as inventory management and reporting. We've also had good success combining WSUS with some well-placed PowerShell scripts, which helps in syncing and patch deployment without relying on expensive third-party tools. Ultimately, it’s all about finding the balance between compliance (e.g., Cyber Essentials) and practicality, given the staffing and resources available.

It seems like the upgrade might have affected the print server settings or permissions. I would like to recommend checking if the print services role is correctly installed and ensuring that all printer drivers are compatible with Windows Server 2022. Apart from that, verify network printer sharing permissions and settings.

That’s a common issue with Creative Cloud and Intune. One solution is to check if there’s another software update running in the background, as it can block the Creative Cloud update. You can also try deploying updates through the Adobe Admin Console, which allows you to manage and push updates. Another workaround is to pre-package the latest version of Creative Cloud for deployment, ensuring users have the most recent update before installation. If the MS Store version didn’t work, you might want to explore using Adobe’s enterprise deployment tools for better control

It sounds like you're dealing with a specific network or authentication issue on the problematic machines. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue: Check User Authentication Settings on the Printer: Since the printer works when logged in as an admin but not for other users, ensure that the user authentication settings on the Konica Minolta C454 are configured correctly. Go to the printer's web interface (from another machine that can access it) and verify that user credentials and access permissions are properly set up. Review Printer Driver Configuration: Make sure the printer driver on the affected PCs is the correct version and configured properly. Sometimes, using the wrong driver version can cause authentication failures. Ensure you're using the specific driver provided by Konica Minolta for the C454 and that it's updated. Network Configuration and Connectivity: The fact that you can't access the web interface of the problematic copier from these machines suggests a network issue. Check the network settings on both the PC and the printer. Ensure the printer is on the correct VLAN or network segment and that there are no IP address conflicts. Test connectivity by pinging the printer's IP address from the affected machines. Check for Network Policies or Restrictions: If there are network policies, such as those set by group policies or firewalls on the school's network, they may be blocking access to the copier's IP address or port. Ensure no restrictions are preventing communication between the PC and the printer. Reset Printer and Network Settings: If possible, reset the printer's network settings and reconfigure them. Sometimes a fresh configuration can resolve underlying issues. Check for DNS or Host File Issues: If the printer's hostname is used instead of the IP address in the printer settings, ensure that DNS is properly resolving the printer's name to the correct IP address. Alternatively, check the host file on the problematic PCs to ensure there are no incorrect entries. Printer Firmware Update: Check if there's a firmware update available for the Konica Minolta C454. Sometimes, firmware bugs can cause unexpected behavior, and updating to the latest version can resolve these issues. Test with Another User Profile: Create a new user profile on the problematic PCs and test printing with this new profile. Sometimes, issues with user-specific settings or corrupted profiles can cause printing errors. Contact Konica Minolta Support: If all else fails, contact Konica Minolta support with detailed information about the issue, including any error codes or messages displayed on the printer or the affected PCs. They may have additional insights or updates for you to apply. By systematically checking these areas, you should be able to identify the root cause of the problem and take steps to resolve it.

The error you're seeing (event id 0x00009017 with TLS alert code 20) usually points to a "Bad Certificate" issue. It could mean that the remote endpoint is rejecting the certificate presented by your DC. Here’s what you can try: Check Certificates: Ensure your DC's certificate is valid and trusted. TLS Settings: Verify that TLS/SSL settings are compatible on both ends. Event Logs: Look for more details in the logs around the error time. Update Systems: Make sure all systems are fully patched. If the issue persists, consider checking Group Policy settings or recreating the certificate.
