You need to use the iso image from your MDT server in your environment. If you've generated one when updating your MDT share it will be in the MDT Share\Boot folder, usually in the format PE_.iso Mount that and copy the contents of it to the prepped USB. That should then USB boot and allow you to connect to the MDT share to build the device. Hope that helps.

You can either try making a USB boot device, which is essentially the MDT boot ISO on a stick, which I did from the guide below yesterday: https://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/1985 Or you want to create the entire offline media set https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/deploy-windows-mdt/deploy-a-windows-10-image-using-mdt#a-href-idsec10ause-offline-media-to-deploy-windows-10

They can, but it depends on the machine. Of the business lines HP 8300 were the last we had that did picture only. 800 G1 onwards have worked with these https://www.startech.com/uk/AV/Displayport-Converters/DisplayPort-to-HDMI-Adapter-Converter-Cable~DP2HDMI#

Another +1 for Bulb.

Welcome to the club! I eventually got through on my phone to see this. Title: Access issues User Impact: Users may experience intermittent issues accessing Office 365 services or features. Current status: We're investigating reports of slowness accessing Office 365 services or features. We'll provide an update once we have more information. Scope of impact: Impact is specific to a subset of users based in the United Kingdom. Next update by: Friday, June 15, 2018, at 12:00 PM UTC

It also tends to bork if there are different versions of Chrome across the network and you use an older version after using a newer one.

${documents}\Google\Chrome or just ${documents}\Chrome if you fancied.

Gatwick shortstay, whilst expensive is opposite the terminal if you don't fancy shuttles from long stay car parks or hotels. However, you must pre-book it to keep the price as eye-watering rather than extortionate.

Docking options are becoming better now that USB-C ones offering HDMI/Displayport and charging through the dock are more commonplace. It means you aren't tied to manufacturer x's docks and proprietary connections and there's just a single cable to the device for everything.

Yes. The data is still referenced so it isn't deleted.

Should be ~£19ex VAT normally across the board per licence whoever you buy from. However, I think 5 is the minimum purchase, but don't hold me to that. I've got tiered pricing on the hardware from various vendors, but never on the licences. YMMV.

I believe we've bought all our licences over the years from C-learning without any problems.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Our sole Windows 10 Education 1607 updated itself to 1709 as we returned from the Christmas break. However, none of the 1511 or 1703 machines did!?!

+1 for "Disable synchronization of data with Google" removing the Welcome to Chrome signing page.

The whole anti-science thing is just getting tiresome now. 5live giving them airtime yesterday really struck a nerve with me. Schools and universities have, for relatively modest costs, sent up their own weather balloons with an RPi or similar bolted to them to take their own shots. Surely the Flat Earthers could stick their hands in their pockets to show us some definitive proof?

The HP Stream/Stream Pro are also rather netbook-ish.

Possibly... Printers deployed via GPP based on the computer that the user is logging onto via loopback mode. (Classic "Delete All" at the top of the list.) Point and print restrictions configured. Drivers on the print server are of the packaged variety. Roaming profiles which should be removed on logoff. Windows 10 Education x64 1703 On first logon from cold printers were largely not available to the user. Event Log -> Application -> Group Policy Printers "Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070057 The parameter is incorrect.' This error was suppressed." Log straight off and back on and boom there they are. Tried using Add-Printer Powershell. Similar results from cold with the 0x80070057 error displayed in the script window. Add the printer manually and all is well. Scooby Doo fade... Having made a successful connection to the printer, we want the connection info from the registry: HKCU\Printers\Connections\ for the printer in question. Put this into GPP -> Windows Settings -> Registry - I was using the registry wizard whilst editing the GPO and then cutting and pasting the printer connection key to the top to tidy it up as this GPO is just for printers. With a key folder per printer it makes the targeting easier. Apply the item level targeting to the key folder as you would to the printer itself (big red arrow). Edit: Possibly missed a key point here. The printer itself still needs to deployed in the GPP Printers section (if that wasn't particularly clear). ??? Profit I'm now seeing no errors in the event log and I've gone from seeing 90+% failure on first cold login to 90+% success. (*Whispers* So far it's been 100% success but I don't want to tempt fate or anger the computer gods) A bit more legwork than I'd like, but if it works every time I'll live with it for the time being.

We've deployed several different types of Chromebooks from the original Samsung ones as regular laptop type devices rather than the tablet or touchscreen hybrid models. We had a particularly bad experience with the Asus C300M. If we've had one bent or destroyed charging pin... Probably OK if a tech is plugging them back in to charge each night but they weren't really robust enough for public charging. Performance wise the second batch of Samsungs, the silver Exynos powered ones started to show their age the fastest. Given the choice we pick up the Dell Chromebook 11 for all round performance and robustness. However, our last batch were HP G5 Chromebooks as HP were offering a generous trade-in. If at all possible see if you can wangle some demo units to get in your hands.

Cool, that looks good. Take a gander at the other end of that 10gig link then before trying to force a config change on J1 on that switch. Now that switch (Server Room) is the root bridge they will always show as forwarding on that switch. You'll see the STP blocked state at the other end once it's functioning correctly.

Post #14. Is the SW_Server_Room meant to be the root bridge for the network? Root path cost on that screenshot means that the root bridge is 2x 1gig paths away (or the equivalent path cost) from that switch so SW_Server_Room isn't the root bridge (the other pointer is that root bridges don't have root ports as they are the root). If that needs correcting it will most likely drop all of your links as the Spanning Tree recalculates and regenerates so I would advise not doing it in the middle of the day! Having a random switch being the root bridge in the network can cause some quirky issues, especially if that random switch isn't up to the job. Once you're happy with that then look at the port. If it's set to Auto and it's becoming an edge port then it isn't receiving BPDUs to tell it that it's connected to another switch running spanning tree. When it doesn't receive BPDUs it assumes you've got an edge device connected and sets accordingly. You could force it to not be an edge port, but I'd check the other end of the link first. Is spanning tree disabled on the port at the other end of the link, a feature such as BPDUGuard (I think it's called something else on HP switches), or is that end manually configured as an edge port?

The one with the lowest path cost to the root bridge will be the active one. 1) You'll need to know which switch is the root bridge. If it hasn't been manually configured don't assume this is the core as STP will just use the MAC address of the switches for root bridge elections if left at defaults! 2) As FN-GM said 10Gig links can play silly buggers with some flavours of STP as they're seen as the same cost as 1Gig links so then it's based on the port priority. 3) If they are seen as the same cost you can adjust the STP priority of switch ports. HP Commands for STP Port Priority HPE Support document - HPE Support Center STP Priority vs Cost explained https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10709506/stp-port-priority-vs-cost2 Hope that helps. I'd recommend doing it at a very quiet time. Some STP adjustments could see all your switch links go down as STP regenerates the tree! Edit: Something else I noticed from your screenshots, J1 is showing as an Edge port. If that's a switch to switch link it shouldn't be an edge port. Otherwise it looks like the port costs are ok. Once you're happy the root bridge is correct, correcting the config on that J1 port to it not being an edge port should see STP automatically use it as the preferred link.

STP is for redundancy. It enables you to have redundant links without creating a network loop. What it doesn't give you is link aggregation or proper load balancing. In a bog standard STP configuration where link 1 is active and link 2 is held by Spanning Tree, if link 1 goes down then link 2 will be brought up by the STP running on the network subject to its timers (~1 minute for old school STP to <10 seconds for a rapid flavour spanning tree protocol).

One of the highlights of my year. I'm pulling for Moldova and the Epic Sax Guy having another crack at the title.
