  1. I did this in the holidays too.... i did have to update my central ADMX policies definitions folder first though to find that setting!
  2. that did happen to mine! when i upgraded in the holidays
  3. can you not use an azure cloud shell to run these? we run all our google gam stuff from a google cloud shell instance
  4. thank you all.. i am in the LGPS so that was a concern as i would be leaving it early probably about 20 years in the pot. the other was holidays i get 43 days off here (inc the 8 bank holidays) which is a lot... which should mean visiting the USA from here would be easy ie 3-4 weeks most summers but the costs are so high we have only managed it a couple of times - that was my concern if living in the USA we would never get home for any period to visit family. Thanks HoyT for the information that is kinda what i was after pay pensions working for the city. Having worked the same job for 20 years i don't have any current industry qualifications just my Computer Science Bsc 2:1 from early 2000s... maybe i should concentrate on picking up a couple before we move (if we do) i think it would on balance be a better place to bring our daughter up which was the incentive to move.... especially if we ended up in a more rural county in a southern state... I do miss Missouri
  5. Hi not sure how many edugeekers are US based but i currently am an IT manager in a small ish secondary uk school students 12-18yrs about 1,100 in total. My wife is American citizen and our daughter is a dual national only 5, we keep thinking about moving... her family is in Prescott Arizona and some in LA as well, so in all reality if we went it would be there.. though my love of the USA is more where i met her Missouri or other southern proper red states... I was curious if similar roles exist in the US working for school districts or even colleges and what the sort of salary would be? - I am fairly certain (after very briefly looking at it) if we did decide to move we can get my green card based on my wife's citizenship so i not looking for the added complication around being sponsored for a green card.. just curios what sort of jobs are there pay benefits... what would be really cool to know is anyone who has worked in this sort of Job here in the UK and the USA for a comparison...
  6. can you whitelist where the cert is coming from so that whilst it is being pushed down to the iPad its not being inspected by the proxy?
  7. We have 3 users in Bromcom and 3 dedicated AD accounts and 3 Dedicated laptops with PIN and Windows Hello for Business... that way negating the need to let anyone know the windows passwords for those cover users.. it also has Passkey setup in Chrome from their google account so that works as the 2nd Factor stopping google randomly throwing a 2FA prompt that cant be dealt with just asks for the windows PIN... Not saying it is CA compliant.. as much as i wanted to try and achieve this... as others have said until DfE work out what they are doing with phones its going to be hard... and we have 1:1 iPads in yrs 7-9 (maybe 11 if they look after them)
  8. Ours is done like this and i always thought it followed the 3-2-1 Onprem (hyper-V VMs &Legacy fileshares) Daily backup to MS System Center DPM 2025. Monthly DPM data is "restored" to 6TB Hard drive i have about 8 on Rotation and the most recent one is stored off site. This will now be shrinking to fit on 4TB disks as less on prem data exists.. I also backup some VMs to Synology but that's just for extra piece of mind Google Workspace Daily backed up to a Synology NAS live on on site at school. Every 2 Weeks one of two alternative Synology NAS are powered on and the Backup is taken then powered down. so there are 3 backups and one always off line Plus the live data which should cover 2 mediums (live Google and Synlogolys) and 3 backups.. its on 3 Synlogoys + Google
  9. That's also interesting.. do you remember what you mean by modern AD CA certs???? i do recall in the past few years changing a lot of the certificate templates on the CA server... for what reason i now cant remember but it seemed pressing ish at the time...
  10. at least i regularly roll the KGRBT pwd and we have had AD CA in place for years mostly for 802.11x had to do a sha-1 to sha-256 update a few years back... and LDAPS is in place too... Still airing on just using 22 for DC again for now
  11. Hi All, i was just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat, we had an Order in place with our Apple education supplier for 170 iPads ready for next year to be delivered in August cancelled on Friday, only to be told we have to re place the order on the new pricing and that anything that was ordered but not delivered would need to be re ordered at the new price, and that it was Apple distribution that has done this not the Authorized Education retailer.. we are now looking at a unit cost difference of over £70. about 30% price hike over the price we ordered at a couple of months ago.
  12. I was just wondering about this, i have 3x 2022 DCs one of which is core, and i recently tried to remove the 2016 DPM client from it and install a newer one for the new DPM server but the old one didn't uninstall (i thought there was an issue as the 2016 client wouldn't take a minor client update for a long time, it would fail and roll back) so for two reasons its time to demote and replace the DC, 1 i really want it not to be a core server and 2 i need the DPM client back on the machine i am going to demote and remove it and then replace it.... as soon as we break up for summer... 8th July for us yeah!!! So naturally you think should I just go straight to 2025 for the replacement DC but the cautious part of me says no just put 2022 on again, and give this issue another year or two before worrying about upgrading the DCs after all 22 has a good length of support left in it... Estate wise everything is win 11 24 or 25 with maybe 1 or 2 PCs Windows 10 on LTSC.
  13. a bit like others, i do now have ipv6 on all my DCs... 3x and it has been enabled since they were at least 2016DCs... my domain started its day in NT4... and been through 2000,2003,2008,2012 etc... and in the beginning ipv6 was either not there or i un-ticked it (turned it off) when i commissioned a new DC then at some point in the past sometime around 2012 -> 2016 i actively turned them all back on because it was recommended and now they are all 2022 with ipV6 on. nothing ever seemed broken before i turned it on or broke since... i guess because i probably turned it on a while ago I'm not sure what a mix of newer DCs would play like if it was off on some or all...
  14. I had DPM 2016 and whilst i haven't in-place upgraded it I have built a new System center DPM 2025 on Server 2025 (with SQL 2022) - and uninstalled the DPM client agent from my servers including 2 Hyper-V 2016 Servers and put the DPM 2025 Client on them and they are all backing up just fine including the Hyper-V workloads just fine. I two was worried about 2016 not being supported in DPM 2025 (reading conflicting docs) but my Hyper-V servers are backing up just fine... every other server that i put the agent on was already 2022.
  15. mavhc i was about to start planning the migration of all our Paxton from our old primary VLAN 10.x.x.x onto their own VLAN 192.168.x.x and i did wonder how the iPv6 gate intercoms and monitors would play.. currently ip4 trafic is routed between VLANs but i was going to prety much over one holiday whole sale move all Net2 Plus controllers intercoms and a monitros (plus windows server maybe - it is domian joined) into the Paxtons VLAN.
