Server pack updated to 1.0.3

Education store is being killed off in early 2023, with a replacement on its way but no date. Plus it doesn't work in Windows 11 at all, which we will be moving to at some point. But on my original issue. I tried someone else's PS script for detection. That didn't work, so swapped back to my simple file version detection and tried again and it now works. Identical detection rule. Gotta love Config Manager sometimes!!

Has anyone been able to get Python 3.10.x to install via SCCM/MECM/Config Manager? Earlier versions (3.4, 3.8) install perfectly fine, with detection method just looking at the python.exe file version. 3.10? No such luck. The install command I've got is: "python-3.10.7-amd64.exe" /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Which should do what I want? Then the detection rule is looking for the python.exe file in c:\program files\python310, for the version matching what it should be. No such luck. It installs it, but thinks it has failed for some reason!

Yes, this is the case. For example, you have to log in to Facebook with a real person's account, and from that you can access a business page. LinkedIn is the same. The same questions came up where I work, and in the end we've referred it to the solicitors and our DPO to advise. Its such a can of worms, you've gotta get it right. The person doing the checks should not be involved in the recruitment process itself either - as those checks are supposed to be for a pretty narrow set of purposes, and you don't want the recruitment team being influenced by something non-relevant.

Pack updated to 1.0.2

This server is now offline.

Well, everyone's in for INSET on Thursday, and today I've been told about 13 new members of staff starting Thursday. Multiple needing laptops... That's on top of all the ones I knew about already. So... going about as normal then!

We bought into a third party solution - Barracuda Office 365 Backup. Easy to set up and it works well.

This can't be right... Their status page still claims that there's been 100% uptime for the last 90 days. Even though it is littered with incidents of downtime. We've had 2 days this week so far where it became basically unusable during the school day due to "performance issues". They don't consider that to be downtime either.

Server updated to pack 1.8.0

The ones in upgrade-config may not be necessary, I was just being thorough.

OK, so updated to 4.7.18 and the original commands don't quite work now. Changes below: I have PKI set up. So, I exported the CA's root cert (in my example below it is cs2cer.cer, and our CS server is cent-cs-01), and imported that into the java keystore using: "c:\Program Files\Google Cloud Directory Sync\jre\bin\keytool.exe" -keystore cacerts -import -file c:\cs2cert.cer -alias cent-cs-01 The default keystore password is changeit Then I edited the 3 files below: config-manager.vmoptions sync-cmd.vmoptions upgrade-config.vmoptions from c:\program files\google cloud directory sync to add 2 lines: -Dcom.sun.net.ssl.checkRevocation=false -Dcom.sun.security.enableCRLDP=false Then re-ran a sync, and everything worked again.

That's unrealistic with public sector, due to the way governments change every 5 years. We can at most plan 5 years in advance, and even that is "pencilled in", as govt policy changes year to year. So, if funding is provided for something now, we should take it and figure out the replacement when that time comes. Put it this way, I update my 5 year plan yearly...

Sent in my NAFs 2 weeks ago, awaiting confirmation that all our schools will be covered. We appear to fit their criteria for needing replacement kit, and are in a priority area. We've got about 80 APs across 6 schools, connecting to 30+ switches. No Cat6A cabling anywhere. Most of our existing kit is out of warranty. Suspect this won't be a cheap job for the DfE!

Server updated to pack 1.7.0

Data Protection obligations apply to more than just saving data. It applies to processing data. So, if someone puts any personal data in a request and sends it via this system, the data is traversing both Discord's servers and the bot's servers. So, you'd need to be able to justify this. As Discord is based in the USA, you would need to be sure your data processing isn't breaking GDPR which currently has major issues with transferring data to the USA (see Italy just fining a company for using Google Analytics because it is USA based)... Have you considered using MS Teams instead? That would be much more likely to be compliant, and comes with proper tools for managing it. You can also write bots etc for it.

Immediate thought - data protection risk.

SIP is very low bandwidth. Even if all 180 handsets were engaged in external calls at the same time, you'd only be using 18Mbps. We have 120 handsets connected to our system and I've never seen more than 8 calls at the same time. So less than 1Mbps of bandwidth in use. When our network infrastructure was installed, we planned it so every network cabinet had a provision of PoE ports, to handle Wifi and phones, so rolling it out has not needed any changes to our network stack here. The only thing we did do was put in place a VLAN specifically for phones, to split them off a bit.

Server updated to pack version 1.6.1

14GB? I've got teachers using 90GB in Google Drive. Across our entire Trust, we're still only using 3.6TB of space. So I can't really see the value in limits tbh.

Turtle! on the Microsoft Store? Or there's an online Logo tool here - https://www.transum.org/software/Logo/ Also, FMS Logo is maintained - it was last updated in April 2022.

Pack updated to 1.5.1t
