There's an explicit "Silently sign in users to the OneDrive sync client with their Windows credentials" policy under the Computer Configuration node if it isn't doing it automagically. That seemed to do the trick here when it wasn't auto-populating.
-
Are you using the OneDrive group policy templates to populate the email address, tenancy etc?

For Apple it's essentially the same ports you'd open for some VPNs (500 and 4500 UDP). I couldn't tell you if Android devices needs anything extra. https://support.apple.com/et-ee/HT202944

If it's 15 VMs total, rather than 15 VMs per Hyper-V host then Windows Server Standard licences should come out loads cheaper. At 14 VMs per host Standard licences come in at 1/3rd the total cost of Server DC for our estate due to the core licencing model now. When it was per physical processor Server DC was much better value.

That might help you visualise how the reverse incremental works. The disk churn on a monthly reverse incremental is going to be pretty gigantic. It would probably work from a purely technical perspective, but you might want to raise doing it at such intervals with Veeam themselves to sanity check it. https://www.veeam.com/kb1933

This. 15-20 Gig daily change is about the average amount on a server of a slightly smaller size. It's difficult to comment without knowing your exact setup, but I would. Or look at reverse incremental in Veeam. Your most recent backup is a "full" backup and it creates incremental points to go back to. Fairly modest disk space requirements as you're storing one full and X number of points. Downside is it's very disk intensive and not really suitable if you're uploading to online backup storage as you'd be uploading a full backup everyday. Great for local (i.e. onsite rather than local to the server!) though even if it will chew up a few disks.

ESS Renewal - current supplier dragging heals

Hasn't this always been on the cards for this year? https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/493283/Microsoft_memorandum_of_understanding.pdf EduGeek.net - Microsoft reply to your MoU questions Super discount pricing for education was due to be removed for renewals post July 2018, unless I've missed them not going forward with that. -
Nice one. I'd always done it the old fashioned 2008 way in ADSI Edit

Star Wars: Galaxy Edge - New "land" in Disneyland
jtotheb replied to LeMarchand's topic in Other Stuff
Disneyland should be fine by then as they're aiming for June. I'd say it's a dead cert to be done by the D23 Expo at the end of August and we're in Anaheim just before that. Walt Disney World have change from "Late Fall" to "Fall" so hopefully they're ahead of schedule. -
Star Wars: Galaxy Edge - New "land" in Disneyland

We've had the trip booked for months. How we'll laugh if they run into serious construction delays. -
The story isn't much better if you have an HPE StoreVirtual product as the entire line was shelved around the time they acquired Nimble! Support will only run until 2022 on the later Gen8 based 4xxx.

Have you looked at VMware's vSAN if you're interested in the VMware route?
-
In the Date and Time system preferences putting in your PDC's IP address and having "set date and time automatically" ticked should cause it to sync. Any firewall rules or ACLs affecting traffic from the Macs? You don't normally explicitly add it for Windows domain clients, but I've had to put the IP address in explicitly for domain joined Macs to prevent their clocks slipping and for other non-Windows devices that I've wanted to sync to the PDC's clock.

MTA are entry level, fundamental, certifications so it would depend on your job role.

In the reports section: Software Distribution - Application Monitoring -> Application deployments per asset. That might be the sort of thing you're after.

Group Policy Preference applied to the user with some item level targeting?

Cisco training, certainly on the R+S tracks, is for the most part agnostic. It's learning about networking concepts, design, and protocols as a whole. The application of that knowledge to Cisco gear is a relatively small part of the course.

Had one fail the other day on a DL380 G9. "Smart Storage Battery failure" in the Integrated Management Log and storage showing as degraded. Battery was replaced with the system cold which removed the battery failure and cleared the storage degradation errors. Green ticks back on system health. Nothing was manually reset, just the part swapped.

[mdt] Make computer rejoin AD with old details
jtotheb replied to b3n_lynch's topic in O/S Deployment
Precisely. E.g. https://emeneye.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/using-the-mdt-database/ If you search around there are ways to do bulk imports into the database. -
[mdt] Make computer rejoin AD with old details
jtotheb replied to b3n_lynch's topic in O/S Deployment
You can do it as simply as entering the old machine name during the OS deployment wizard (assuming the account you're using has the appropriate permissions). If you want to get fancier you can install a database and integrate it with MDT so that the machine is queried for something unique (Asset tag, MAC, system serial number) and then the details you would manually enter are pulled from the database you've pre-populated. If you're getting into MDT I can't recommend Johan Arwidmark's stuff enough. His book "Deployment Fundamentals" and sites https://deploymentresearch.com/ https://deploymentartist.com/ are well worth looking at. Also, Scriptimus Prime is another MDT favourite https://scriptimus.wordpress.com/ -
They've been good as gold. Very sturdy and well made.

We've been really happy with Wireless, Networking, Security & Storage Experts | Net-Ctrl and the Ruckus kit we've had off them.

Sophos AV for Mac worked out at a bit under £5 per client per year in small quantities (30) with no additional cost for the Management console the last time we bought it a couple of years back on a 3 year sub. I don't know if the price has altered drastically since then.

The Greenwich Peninsula is outside the congestion charge zone, so unless your route comes through London you won't need to pay it. Where are you coming from that you need to use the Dartford Crossing? South of the river you'd surely just come in on the A2? From the north I'd normally use the Blackwall Tunnel as the o2 sits on top of it. Edit: saw you were coming down the A12. You can just stay on the A12 the entire way as it runs into the Blackwall Tunnel once you're beyond Stratford.
