Could you determine which app is handling .URL file associations. Because that wretched EDGE has a nasty habit of reclaiming them unless I force association through a GPO association XML file. What happens when you click on the faulty shortcut - does it open with the correct app?

8WVQV-B6MY8-Y8WQ4 OR 6WVQV-B6MY8-Y8WQ4 There's a little part of me that wonders whether that last Y is actually an X, so it becomes X8WQ4

I'd be thinking along the lines of 'Wake on LAN' settings for this type of 'problem' If your BIOS power management settings don't help you, then it is most probably the power management settings of the LAN card from the OS. For example. When you check out the adapter properties of the nic, look under Power Management - is the 'Allow this device to wake the computer' ticked? Also disable any 'Wake ...' options on the advanced tab, particularly 'Shutdown Wake-on-Lan'

I'm really glad the telemetry notification is fixed, I'm implementing that one next week :-) I don't recall receiving a firewall status notification. Could that be something new with 1809 - I'm using 1803. When you click on the popup, what is it notifying you about? Is there a problem or is it just being chatty?

I used to block the explorer context menu, about 7 years ago, but it caused so many headaches, even for myself when I would attend a device to look into something it was such a nuisance. Also, I'm of the mindset that children do need to explorer how a computer really works, which includes us techies taking responsible risks to allow certain actions. That's how I developed an appetite for IT as a child, I used to love to see what I could do - I learnt the hard way

Been meaning to sort this out for ages and came across this. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/windows-personal-data-services-configuration#diagnostic-opt-in-change-notifications If this doesn't work then I'm interested in the correct solution.

I went to get me some col' pop

I'm so gonna get them to scan that!

I wonder if it's possible to create an alternative QR code for them to scan, which would point them to a page of a list of gripes with Windows 10. AJ, you're totally right of course, and I'm kind of settled with 1803 at the moment, but more than a handle of friends and family have been totally messed up because of 10 - most recently with one PC deciding to reboot in the middle of a Powerpoint presentation! I so wish MS could learn from the good practise all around the tech industry - just focusing on quality would be a game changer.

Bought this and it's doing the job for me at the mo. I have a few other items extra to this in my bag. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M7SZW9Q/ However, there looks to be a few better options now, such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/Deyard-SG-455-Precision-Screwdriver-Set/dp/B00DXZ5PE0/

I'm thinking of wearing a yellow vest, and a scarf round my mouth, who's got some tear gas?

A teacher has a friend who works in a school in Thailand and we'd like to establish links between the two schools, including sending a video to them of our school and the children of the UK teacher's class. This sounds like a lovely idea and I really want to make it happen, but clearly we need to tick the right boxes with this process and not do anything that could potentially lead to a safeguarding/gdpr issue. Does anyone have any experience on this subject who can push me in the right direction 1. What documentation do we need to think about when setting up this level of trust? 2. Do we need specific or supplemental parent permission for this kind of activity? 3. What platform do you use to chat and send videos between the schools (we were thinking of recording the video and sending a school OneDrive link to the file) Your help is much appreciated.

I don't believe you can change the permission through that route, since the 'user' who will attempt to change the permissions does not have the permission to change the permissions However, it's definitely worth a shot - you'll need to grant Administrators Full Access, but if that doesn't work try Authenticated Users (make a note of these changes, because ideally you would revert them back to normal afterwards) If a script is needed, you'll need to use a command line app that can take ownership of a registry key (SETACL, or SUBINACL ??)

If you look at those registry keys/values on device, you'll find them owned by TrustedInstaller, so you can't edit them directly without first changing the owner/permissions. To do that you'll need a prior step, probably a script, to take ownership, then you can change them.

I backup the SIMS database every night using a script (FMS has gone 'hosted'). This is pretty much the script I use here http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/171205-scripted-backup-sims-fms.html#post1465637 Within this script you'll see the expected DBAttach calls, but crucially, before that, you'll see the Invoke-Sqlcmd, which calls the procedure to transfer the logins. Then, when you restore, via the GUI or script, you'll should have the user logins within each database. If not, there are other problems.

Couple of things. Try to keep the environments as identical as you can when testing something - I wondered if you were suggesting that your testing laptop was using SQL Server 2017, whereas your production server wasn't? You'd also be better off keeping within the Capita supported product range (not sure SQL 2017 is on that list yet??) Keep the SQL instance name and database names the same, which you're possibly already doing. Call that stored procedure, which I previously pointed you to, and see whether that fixes the login issue.

I build my wim purely using Arthur's script, with only minor changes, and I don't see a 10 minute first login, especially not on SSD computers. Worst time on a HDD is approx 2 mins. What version are you using, 1709, 1803, 1809?? What customisations are you making to your wim file? When you get your first login time, is that with a domain joined account over wireless?

Hmm. Are you using a MAK, or KMS for activation? I've always used KMS, and more recently ADBA (Active Directory Based Activation). So are you still seeing 50 minutes delay on something else, other than activation?

sims.sims.db_p_transfer_login Runs an SQL procedure to transfer the logins from the master database to the individual database. The one above was for SIMS, you'd just change it to reflect the FMS database. (need someone to confirm that) I think the DBattach gui may actually run this when it does the backup, not entirely sure. Also, please note I haven't used this for the FMS database, so I'd be interested if you reported back whether it was needed, or whether it worked...

I just looked on a site listing that screen and it states 5 year warranty. SMART E70 | Luxis Media Are you absolutely sure that didn't come with a 5 year warranty? I'd be very surprised/grumpy if it didn't. Either way, I personally have fallen out of love with SMART this and that, very happy with the BenQ screens I've purchased so far. You can get the Mainstream boards (RM), or the one with premium features (RP).

Interestingly, this can be done with VB Script with similar code - no need for autohotkey, just create your .vbs file with these lines... Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.SendKeys "^{ESCAPE}" WScript.Sleep 100 WshShell.SendKeys "^{ESCAPE}"

On an affected device, take a look in the sysprep / panther folder log files, that should tell you if there were problems parsing the unattend file - looks okay to me, however I don't include the offlineimage section in my answer file. Have you tried it without an answer file, or with fewer/basic 'answers'. Here's mine to compare en-GB 0809:00000809 en-GB en-GB en-US en-GB true Microsoft OnError NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2 0809:00000809 en-GB en-GB en-US en-GB 0 * true true true true Work true true 1 theres-no-chance-of-guessing-this true Config Administrators Config School false GMT Standard Time

I think you're referring to this command SQLCMD -SLocalhost\SIMS2016 -E -Q"exec sims.sims.db_p_transfer_login"

Can you just confirm that you're not attempting to edit a boot.wim file on a 'disc', as in DVD disc - that wouldn't work. Here are a few online tutorials that should help. https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/125921-how-to-add-drivers-manually-to-usb-drive-to-install-windows-using-a-usb-3-0-port https://www.sarducd.it/forum/english-forum/windows-7-usb-3-0-slipstream-drivers-t1287.html https://codeabitwiser.com/2014/03/how-to-install-windows-7-with-only-usb-3-0-ports/

Maybe not the reply you wanted, but I'd just encourage you to ditch Adobe and stick with the Fox - remember to download their MSI and customisation tool and remove all the the bits you don't want.
