  1. some old intel ide raid card?
  2. id tend to agree with that the questions are something like what command would you use to find the mac address of a pc a ipconfog b ipconfog /all c ipconfig d ipconfig /all or the awful pick three out of 5 (or whatever number) with very similar sounding options, put these in order (where a couple could be swapped round and it would still work) its all multiple choice. The first one i did i literally booked the test read the book for a week went and passed. Just be aware with ms exams at the centre leave your phone/watch/keys/wallet etc somewhere else (some provide lockers) as they wouldnt even let me take tissues in on my last one and i had a runny nose
  3. if you are decommissioning the old laptops and removing the hdds from them presumably you are keeping them in a safe location? If so just unencrypt them as part of your decommission process if they never leave the premises and are in a secure location do they still need to be encrypted?
  4. if your swapping bitlockered drives out whatever you do is going to be messy. You can if the laptop dosent have a tpm use usb or if the laptop has one an sd card to hold the certificate and in theory pair the drive and sd card but swapping encrypted drives around is going to be a pain (unless its literally replacing and the drive will never go back in that pc in which case the correct recovery key will always be the newest dated one and just nuke the drive before you put it in another pc so it gets a new key)
  5. in ad the recovery key is stored in active directory on the pcs account (you have to enable the add on to view it) and it will show multiple if that pc has been encrypted (so say hdd changed etc) and a date but beyond it showing a date thats about all the info you get as to what it applies to.

    i think thats too tall to fit in the ps4s drive bay
  8. i believe i read somewhere (and at this point cant remember where) that the problem is your body has evolved to know what sugar is and what to do with it whereas it has no idea what to make of sugar substitute so while it tastes nice your body dosent think its had sugar so you "crave" sugar even though you dont need it because it dosent know wtf the fake sugar is or what to do with it
  9. upgrade im not sure but install yes just log into the box as a user who has read permissions to your deploymentshare$ go to the scipts folder and run litetouch.vbs that way it will even keep the pcs current name but ive not tried it as an upgrade just a fresh install
  10. yup a nic with bnc and 15 pin (joystick) port modem i always had externals, will of had some soundblaster or other iirc at the time an awe64 5 1/4 bay mounted speakers to make it more portable (so a blanking blate with a hole in it to loop the headphone cable back inside) lol
  11. in those days the back of my pc was a mess. normal 2d card, loopback to a 3dfx voodoo 2, loopback to a creative mpeg decoder card lol new pic

    i lucked out i got a 750gb ssd on some sale for £180 (i thought it was worth it) and bought a box for it cant believe my xbox has the biggest ssd (not fastest the pci-e one in my laptop probably takes that honour) i own lol

    fair point but isnt the internal hdd on the ps4 a crummy 5400rpm drive same as the xbone so in an ideal world wants chucking anyway? I know for instance gta that takes about 7 weeks to load from the internal drive loads in about 3-4 weeks from the external ssd and id assume even faster if i could replace the internal drive but ms dont allow it

    i thought with a ps4 you could chuck any 2.5" drive you wanted in it?

    you mean it couldnt? that said i wish i could swap the internal hdd in my xbone for the external ssd it has its still a speed boost but replacing the boot drive would be a bigger one
  16. atari st-e? (side joystick/mouse ports rather than underneath)
  17. the cart slot is the big slot at the back of that pic though looking at the article there was a cd add on but as the jaguar sold poorly i cant imagine there are many cd add ons for it out there
  18. doubtful that was cart based im pretty sure
  19. some sort of pvr?
  20. i was trying to add windows store for business and a few odds and ends that require admin access to the office 365 tenancy but because of the way its set up (basically all schools are in 1 tennancy i believe and they cant/wont give out admin access to a sub section of them and as its 1 tenancy anyway i can imagine it being a licensing nightmare if anyone wants stuff from ms store for business as technically if school a buys 20 minecraft lics in theory they are avaliable to school b)they cant/wouldnt give me access so in the end that school has a new tenancy just for minecraft licensing at the moment (but as its a much shorter domain name i suspect long term it will get moved to that to get the lea isp out as they arnt exactly thrilled with their service
  21. they arnt by any chance all logging on with the same user name (say reception/year1) etc as ive had that cause me issues in the past even though i managed to get 30 or so logged in using random kids accounts fine the staff were just logging them is as the generic user which caused issues
  22. dont you also need sql lics as well?

    Fire Emblem Heros

    well its fun the summon mechanic is frustrating if you want a specific character but i suspect thats the point to get you to spend £££ on orbs. Still no lyn but on the plus side ive got a 5* marth whos wrecking everyone lol. It also is a total battery drain i have a fast charger (usb c) and it was charging at about the same rate as i was using the battery so played an hour last night battery started at 15% finished at 14% on charge lol

    Fire Emblem Heros

    so far its fun jsut be aware the initial download isnt all the downloads there appears to be 1 per campaign (and the first 3 levels are a campaign). Its fun so far just if youre used to fe games dont put a unit next to your target and then try and attack drop them on the unit you want to attack. Bear in mind if you want specific characters (i want lyndis) you could spend a lot of money on summons as its just semi random (you can pick sword/lance/axe units but thats about it and save up your orbs and do as many as you can at once as you get a "bulk discount". I like the art style so far
  25. with win 7 installed updated office etc on a vm and then (snapshot) use a sysprep and wds to capture (mdt itself does seem to error capturing more often than id like and doing it manually via wds is barely any extra work) win 10 i just use the base wim file as is and then script remove any apps i dont want as part of my mdt task
