    Yes, I had this and thought the ports were dying on a batch of new PCs. No, it was the crap converters. I changed them all to Benfei ones and they worked.

    Oh, I agree. I don’t produce content for it, other than some filler. The content we were putting on quietly got shelved as it was a lot of work to produce! it may be something that ICT or Media students can do as classwork?

    Some decent photos. Upcoming events. Merits/awards. A bit of branding and similar. We also show our currently running clubs and activities.

    Oh no! Not lovely Oracle! Especially when they were just trying to build something nice.

    What we're going to end up with is staff and students machines on Hwb, with all of their files in Onedrive, and pretty much every service (plus the exams accounts) still on our domain (with a potential for security issues either way). Not sure how this saves us money or stress but it's progress, right?

    Your PaperCut feedback is interesting. We’re starting to get an inkling that they want us to cludge our old PaperCut onto the Hwb Intune devices, mainly as that will be cheap and stop us moithering. Chance for a clean sheet, or bodge, cludge, fudge and create a new mess?

    3s-gtech replied to Olliedawg's topic in Windows 11

    That'll be this one, that's already in 25H2: https://endpointweekly.com/blog/kb5124008-machine-secure-channel-break-windows-11-25h2.html

    We have it, it's actually necessary due to the way we issue them laptops that aren't on our domain. Uses RADIUS with their normal logon, but it does not pop out on our range and it's on a separate VLAN I think. Filtering managed further up the chain by the firewall (LEA managed). Cisco APs (AX).

    A1/A3. I spend enough on MS licensing yearly; paying extra for this guff is money in the wind.

    Copilot only - laid out in our AI policy. This is for Data Protection and budgeting reasons, and also for things like SARs - we need data in places that we can audit and manage. If they really want to use another AI service, they'll need to lay out the business case and resolve these questions.

    Yup, I've had that one from people who have no idea. A proper work platform (they tend to have a guardrail) is safer again, but a ladder or stepladder is sketchy for working on something that needs two hands!
  12. 3s-gtech
    Super unlikely. Chipset drivers might though.
  13. 3s-gtech
    I've had similar, where it worked fine when not loading drivers. Turned out to be the trackpad drivers. Can you remove them?
  14. 3s-gtech
    Yeah, tower. Only takes one fall from that height to wish you'd been using a tower instead (while rapidly descending). If you can't keep three points of contact it's just not safe - and I've done some sketchy ladder climbs (away from work).
  15. 3s-gtech
    That'd be a big help - we've seen nothing.
  16. 3s-gtech
    Yeah, went through that last year when I finally moved to proper Apple IDs synced to our accounts. I just waited for the timeout as there was other stuff I could do (no point getting stressed over that). It worked fine afterwards.
  17. 3s-gtech
    It absolutely could be used for that - that looks like a vehicle cloning checklist, with an organisation where any tickets and penalties could be lost in the system for months (where the police have to confirm who was driving etc). Don't give them the plates.
  18. 3s-gtech
    We use Shared iPads, so we have them tied to Apple School and JAMF. We have to buy a license for each user (that will use the app) and assign it.
  19. 3s-gtech
    Printing, for the same reason, is one of ours. Next is decent filtering (can we use our own Smoothwall? No one knows).
  20. 3s-gtech
    The warning signs have been there for a few years now - most have got out. Shame that they took a great product and nerfed it, but isn't that the trend? You also have Proxmox as an option, but I haven't used it as we started using Hyper-V back in 2012 or so and it does the job (at reasonable cost).
  21. 3s-gtech
    We have a lot of AMD kit (laptops and desktops, 5 to 2 years old), only tiny thing we've encountered is some driver issues when using a large central dump of drivers in our MDT. Imaged with no additional drivers, fine. Intune, fine. Performance and reliability wise, grand. My office PC is a 5th gen Ryzen Pro and I like it a lot.
  22. 3s-gtech
    I think it’s just me left with it (2024 pushed it via GPO and targeted at 2021 machines). I’ll keep it until the deadline because I still get users angry that it’s going (another today!) Not my fault it’s being retired, nor my problem!

    I was at an event when phones starting blaring, and we got four alerts - Welsh and English for flood then fire risk. Possible someone got a bit keen with the first one. Thoroughly irritating, and I left my phone in the car after that.
  24. 3s-gtech
    Yeah mine would complete, even join AD or Intune, but would then break after updating drivers from Windows Update. Without drivers from MDT they would work fine even after Windows Updates.
  25. 3s-gtech
    Can you disable the MDT driver stores before imaging? I have some laptops (Lenovo E595 G1) that thoroughly soil themselves when imaged with MDT and anything other than the bare OS for drivers. Installing from a USB stick works, via MDT with the stores enabled and they crash repeatedly.
