@free780 yes but only got it imaged yesterday. No noticeable effect yet. Wish i'd read Stephen hardy's post closer. Was trying to put a 64bit image on lol... It appears with uefi you have to apply the same bit OS.

Just popping this one here as it might help somebody. To enter the BIOS hold down delete on boot (plug in keyboard obvs )

Anybody got any further with this? I can't believe this omission by MS. I found this a year ago when we were looking at rolling out Win 8 and this was a big kicker for us. The only way I can think of getting around this is to allow the network choice on the lock screen so students can turn airplane mode off themselves. In any case it sounds like more support time

Thanks Arthur - nice script that PS deploy stuff Here is my PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit script if anybody wants it <# .SYNOPSIS This script performs the installation or uninstallation of an application(s). .DESCRIPTION The script is provided as a template to perform an install or uninstall of an application(s). The script either performs an "Install" deployment type or an "Uninstall" deployment type. The install deployment type is broken down in to 3 main sections/phases: Pre-Install, Install, and Post-Install. The script dot-sources the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 script which contains the logic and functions required to install or uninstall an application. To access the help section, .EXAMPLE Deploy-Application.ps1 .EXAMPLE Deploy-Application.ps1 -DeploymentMode "Silent" .EXAMPLE Deploy-Application.ps1 -AllowRebootPassThru -AllowDefer .EXAMPLE Deploy-Application.ps1 -Uninstall .PARAMETER DeploymentType The type of deployment to perform. [Default is "Install"] .PARAMETER DeployMode Specifies whether the installation should be run in Interactive, Silent or NonInteractive mode. Interactive = Default mode Silent = No dialogs NonInteractive = Very silent, i.e. no blocking apps. Noninteractive mode is automatically set if an SCCM task sequence or session 0 is detected. .PARAMETER AllowRebootPassThru Allows the 3010 return code (requires restart) to be passed back to the parent process (e.g. SCCM) if detected from an installation. If 3010 is passed back to SCCM a reboot prompt will be triggered. .PARAMETER TerminalServerMode Changes to user install mode and back to user execute mode for installing/uninstalling applications on Remote Destkop Session Host/Citrix servers .NOTES .LINK Http://psappdeploytoolkit.codeplex.com "#> Param ( [ValidateSet("Install","Uninstall")] [string] $DeploymentType = "Install", [ValidateSet("Interactive","Silent","NonInteractive")] [string] $DeployMode = "NonInteractive", [switch] $AllowRebootPassThru = $false, [switch] $TerminalServerMode = $false ) #*=============================================== #* VARIABLE DECLARATION Try { #*=============================================== #*=============================================== # Variables: Application $appVendor = "Capita SIMS" $appName = "SOLUS 3" $appVersion = "3.7.149.0" $appArch = "" $appLang = "EN" $appRevision = "01" $appScriptVersion = "1.0.0" $appScriptDate = "22/07/2014" $appScriptAuthor = "mwilfan" #*=============================================== # Variables: Script - Do not modify this section $deployAppScriptFriendlyName = "Deploy Application" $deployAppScriptVersion = [version]"3.1.4" $deployAppScriptDate = "06/10/2014" $deployAppScriptParameters = $psBoundParameters # Variables: Environment $scriptDirectory = Split-Path -Parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition # Dot source the App Deploy Toolkit Functions ."$scriptDirectory\AppDeployToolkit\AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1" #*=============================================== #* END VARIABLE DECLARATION #*=============================================== #*=============================================== #* PRE-INSTALLATION If ($deploymentType -ne "uninstall") { $installPhase = "Pre-Installation" #*=============================================== # Show Welcome Message, close Internet Explorer if required, allow up to 3 deferrals, verify there is enough disk space to complete the install and persist the prompt Show-InstallationWelcome -CloseApps "" -AllowDefer -DeferTimes 3 -CheckDiskSpace -PersistPrompt #remove all previous solus3 clients first #remove solus 3.5 Execute-MSI MsiExec.exe -Action Uninstall -Path "{62233362-EFBB-4998-B804-CD6C68C074F0}" -ContinueOnError $true #remove solus 3.6.92 Execute-MSI MsiExec.exe -Action Uninstall -Path "{DF59CCA1-C41C-40E4-AA7D-BD7768CD88BF}" -ContinueOnError $true Execute-MSI MsiExec.exe -Action Uninstall -Path "{5C360DA8-EFF1-4E79-A321-11427412755B}" -ContinueOnError $true #remove solus 3.6.94 Execute-MSI MsiExec.exe -Action Uninstall -Path "{07BA2744-05A6-42DC-85EC-D5316949F1F1}" -ContinueOnError $true Execute-MSI MsiExec.exe -Action Uninstall -Path "{3EF2D2B9-5937-49E0-823A-77DD319B6C1B}" -ContinueOnError $true #remove solus 3.7.147 Execute-MSI MsiExec.exe -Action Uninstall -Path "{FD0AF782-FC77-4601-AD42-37F9C215C28D}" -ContinueOnError $true #remove solus 3.7.149 - commented out but there is you need it #Execute-MSI MsiExec.exe -Action Uninstall -Path "{2D4BEB2F-3948-4822-A6ED-A4053867A736}" -ContinueOnError $true # Show Progress Message (with the default message) Show-InstallationProgress #*=============================================== #* INSTALLATION $installPhase = "Installation" #*=============================================== # Perform installation tasks here #generate a guid and pop it into a variable $solusguid = get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystemProduct | Select-Object -ExpandProperty UUID #install x64 solus3 client if x64 processor If ($psArchitecture -eq "x64") { Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path "SOLUS3AgentInstaller_x64.msi" ''AGENTID=$solusguid' RSAKEYPATH="" AGENTSERVICEADDRESS="net.tcp://localhost:52966" DEPLOYMENTSERVERADDRESS="net.tcp://:52965" /qn' -ContinueOnError $true} # else install the x84 solus3 client ElseIf ($psArchitecture -eq "x86") { Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path "SOLUS3AgentInstaller_x86.msi" ''AGENTID=$solusguid' RSAKEYPATH="" AGENTSERVICEADDRESS="net.tcp://localhost:52966" DEPLOYMENTSERVERADDRESS="net.tcp://:52965" /qn' -ContinueOnError $true} #*=============================================== #* POST-INSTALLATION $installPhase = "Post-Installation" #*=============================================== # Perform post-installation tasks here # Display a message at the end of the install Show-InstallationPrompt -Message "" -ButtonRightText "Ok" -Icon Information -NoWait #*=============================================== #* UNINSTALLATION } ElseIf ($deploymentType -eq "uninstall") { $installPhase = "Uninstallation" #*=============================================== # Show Welcome Message, close Internet Explorer if required with a 60 second countdown before automatically closing Show-InstallationWelcome -CloseApps "iexplore" -CloseAppsCountdown "60" # Show Progress Message (with the default message) Show-InstallationProgress # Perform uninstallation tasks here #*=============================================== #* END SCRIPT BODY } } Catch { $exceptionMessage = "$($_.Exception.Message) `($($_.ScriptStackTrace)`)";

You'll also need the PS APP deploy toolkit Arthur referenced http://Http://psappdeploytoolkit.codeplex.com For what it's worth we moved away from deploying via script as the Solus3 console method works much better for some strange reason, must do other things the script method doesn't. Also the client installed via this method were unstable (offline/online/offline etc) whereas ones installed via the console were solid

Not sure you solved this but here is my twopeneth worth var wshShell, wshSysEnv; var fso, f1, typeLib; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); typeLib = new ActiveXObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib"); wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); var logFileName = WScript.Arguments(0); var agentAddress = WScript.Arguments(1); var dsAddress = WScript.Arguments(2); var keyFileName = WScript.Arguments(3); var msi32 = WScript.Arguments(4); var msi64 = WScript.Arguments(5); var msi = ""; if (is64()) msi = msi64; else msi = msi32; wshShell.run("msiexec.exe /qn /lv* \"" + fso.BuildPath(wshShell.Environment("SYSTEM")("TEMP"), logFileName) + "\" /i \"" + wshShell.CurrentDirectory + "\\" + msi + "\" AGENTSERVICEADDRESS=\"" + agentAddress + "\" AGENTID=\"" + typeLib.Guid.toString().substring(0, 38) + "\" DEPLOYMENTSERVERADDRESS=\"" + dsAddress + "\" RSAKEYPATH=\"" + wshShell.CurrentDirectory + "\"", 1, true); function is64() { var shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); return (wshShell.Environment("SYSTEM")("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE").indexOf("64") + 1); } add in /qn after msiexec to run quiet with no gui, then change the 0 for a 1 before true); (as above) Problem I have now is some PCs have dreamweaver set to open js files by default so will not run the js using a startup script *facepalm* Hope this helps somebody

Reason 0 is my fav SIMS message

If it's any help we have had the same today but through swgfl. Thought it was a filter issue as works fine through the unfiltered proxy

We use a canon legeria as it has an input for a mic, so we use some wireless mics hooked into a mixing desk for audio and feed that back into the camera. Makes a massive difference in audio quality. We have a cheaply green cloth on a frame with a couple of lamps to give a semi even spread of light. We use adobe premiere elements to chroma key the green out, fairlky easy to use and does the job

Just a thought is shadow copy running at 1.20?

I'm assuming your drives are raided in some form? Might be worth monitoring disk activity, however if the server is locking up you'd expect to see this shoot right down. I'm pretty sure we had errors in one of the windows logs when our was failing. Might be worth checking the disks out too with the manufacturers utilities to see if any are going south. To be honest this problem plagued us for a few months as it was difficult to troubleshoot.

Could be a dying disk controller. We had similar probs a few years ago

Meant to say turning impero proxy on caused a few wierdy interweb issues for us as we use forefront tmg to proxy web traffic, so using impero proxy too double proxies it

What harri said. Careful if you already proxy web traffic though as through forefront tmg. Could you not use impero to detect the IE session without add ons? What does is log it as in the window captions?

Yeh we bitlocker all laptops that have TPM modules. With the bitlocker stuffs in GPO it works a dream for key recovery. We weren't bothered by encryption times as they are done before depliyment

My favourite saying, "every day is a school day", didn't know you can close tags like that. Still doesn't work with that method though but happy to manually fix when we add a group

Hey @nickbro Just to confirm not having a link in the group wasn't the actual problem we were having. It was the xml tag not being closed properly by the code. Cheers

Hi Guys Harri is my boss so have been looking at this for him. Looks like the xml is incorrectly created when creating new homepage groups. For example creating a new group called "Maths" results in this being slipped into the hapconfig.xml When it should be Remember to add a link otherwise it borks too @nickbro - Just for heads up but presume you may have fixed this is v10 - Good work though sir

Hi tb03m We use TMG. It works but there are oddities, eg nobody can connect to our cctv recorders if they have the impero proxy on and we have seen weird https issues

Careful if you use something like isa in your network as you will run into problems. We found some things just stopped working like our CCTV client. Took ages to troubleshoot

Never thought I'd say this but... I'm a Lexmark fan We've previously had Xerox, hp, brother dell and everything in between. Majority of our old printer stock was dell which is rebranded Lexmark. Some had done over 300000 pages with not a care in the world. Whilst most of our other printers were complete pitas Currently have in the region of 38 Lexmark 3150 and about 7 Lexmark 748 and they have been roxck solid for the last 10 weeks, all leased, so the tiniest sneeze and we'd call in an engineer. Driver wise there is a gen driver but also proper 32bit and 64bit drivers for both and both work with our win 7 and win 8 clients fine Hope this helps

Hate to say this, we are using Notebook 11.3.857.0 and the issue is still there. Unsure if it is the same versions of everything else though. Will check next period

Thought we were the only ones with this problem. From what we have found smart ink injects a little bit of HTML into each page which b@ggers things up. Seems to only effect a few pages for us' YouTube, echalk, swgfl staff proxy page. All machines affected are win7, ie10, notebook 11.3 Also just found out that if users switch user, smart ink will not work for any other user that logs on. Amazing bit of software.

If you have have to ask how much it is, you probably can't afford it. My pet hate too. Think we looked at it before and it was very expensive. Could be mistaken though

I've seen this on our network and put it down to students managing to change the association somehow. I usually get them to log onto a different PC, then reboot said pc and use delprof2 to remotely remove the students profile. Never found another fix for this but this works

Hands in the air as I use tapatalk I have never seen the sticky regarding this, I will refrain from doing this from now onwards. apologies
