As follows: I found some DTS download errors in the client log. The advice online suggested to make a change to the software so it re-saved as a new revision. I've done that and it seems to have helped a little. One or two machines have moved from the error tab to In Progress. A lot of machines I'd already installed it manually so I'd expect a number of them to skip the deployment as its already installed.
-
So I think I'm making some progress now. I've got the deployment status updating. It's not updating all that fast but information has changed it on so it doesn't appear to be stuck. However, my deployment is still not reporting any successful installations. It has 4 which show 'Couldn't detect the software after installation' and then 10 machines showing this: CI documents download timed out I've found a few references to this online but mainly to do with updates which state its an update which has been superseded. I'm deploying the OneDrive client (Downloaded just before deployment last week) with the /allusers set. I detect if its already installed by checking for the exists of the onedrive.exe file in Program Files. I'll try have a look at logs on the clients but it might also just need time to sort itself out. Just be nice to have at least one machine show as 'Successful' to prove I've got it setup right.

So I spotted some errors in the component status page which lead me to this fix: https://www.enhansoft.com/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-size-of-management-information-files-mif/ I've increased the limit so lets see what happens. I wonder if its not been able to get information back to SCCM to them display. We've just had a power cut onsite so while the servers are still on clients arn't going to be reporting back all that soon. So I'll leave it until tomorrow and see if machines start reporting tomorrow.
-
So I've run the to actions mention above locally on my test machine which I know its completed the installation on. I've also ask a number of other machines via the console to do the same thing. I then waited around 5 minutes before running a summary on the deployment monitoring again. It's updated the time but the information is still exactly the same. I'll wait a little longer as I'm not sure how long these things take.
-
It's done it on a few tests now so I don't think that'll help.
-
Ahh ok I'm with you. It only reports at that time not actively. Found the setting and it was set to 3 in the morning every 7 days. I'll check my test machine doing the manual method and adjust from there. Thanks!
-
I maybe could understand this if it hadn't been a few days but I pushed this deployment out on the 13th May. Do you know where these settings are configured just so I can check what ours is set too?
-
I've checked to be sure and it's marked as required. The status / summarization screen shows it installing on 3 machines, and some errors on others. However this information has been static since I first looked at it. One of the machine it says its 'In Progress' on I know has the software on it. So I'm pretty sure its installing on machines I just can't see an up to to date progress of it. I've done some test deployments before and I've found the same thing each time. Normally this was just to one or two machines.
-
Anyone? Any advice? It's still not updated but SCCM all seems happy. Lost as to what to look for next.

Hi, I'm very new to SSCM so please do excuse me if I'm being very thick. I've setup a deployment for the OneDrive All Users installer and tested it on a test machine. All went well and it installed fine. I then delete that deployment and created a new one to push it to all machines. However its been 24 hours now and the deployment status still hasn't changed since I first looked at it. I'm sure machines are installing the software fine but I just can't monitor it. The summarization is scheduled (At least that's what it tells me when I try and run it manually) and the date and time is updating. I've checked SCCM for errors in the System Status area and did find one this morning but I've fixed that now and no errors are being shown. However I'm still seeing the first 'Update' of the status of the deployment. Has anyone got any ideas of what to try next? Or what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure you'll need more information so I'll try and get you it as requested. Thanks, Rob

You can use retention policies to keep data longer and then recover by Content Search for example: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/retention-policies?view=o365-worldwide

Filtering solution for BYOD
robyholmes replied to pablo007's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
As a lot are suggestion, you need HTTPS inspection otherwise your blind to a large amount of traffic. Serving the certificate on the BYOD is the best approach. -
Very interested in this as its pretty much what I'm thinking of doing.

I've managed to find a workaround to do what I need. So I thought I'd update this post. Firstly I had to use a App Password so MFA wasn't required. I could then use the original code. I then found I was still getting the 401 error on certain sites. It seems even if your a SharePoint Admin you can't change these settings without having access to the site. So I added myself as a 'Additional Admin' to the sites to get round this. I did this as part of the script which I've updated below. #Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll" Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll" #function to change Timezone regional settings of a SharePoint Online site Function Set-SPOnlineTimeZone([string]$SiteURL,[string]$TimezoneName,[PSCredential]$Cred) { Try { #Setup Credentials to connect $Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password) #Set up the context $Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL) $Ctx.Credentials = $credentials #Get the Root web from given URL $Web = $Ctx.web $Ctx.Load($Web) #Get the Time zone to update $Timezones = $Web.RegionalSettings.TimeZones $Ctx.Load($Timezones) $Ctx.ExecuteQuery() $NewTimezone = $Timezones | Where {$_.Description -eq $TimezoneName} #Update the timezone of the site $Web.RegionalSettings.TimeZone = $NewTimezone $Web.Update() $Ctx.ExecuteQuery() Write-host -f Green "Timezone has been updated for "$Web.Url #Get all subsites of the web $Ctx.Load($Web.Webs) $Ctx.executeQuery() #Iterate through each subsites and call the function recursively Foreach ($Subweb in $Web.Webs) { #Call the function to set Timezone for the web Set-SPOnlineTimeZone -SiteURL $Subweb.URL -TimezoneName $TimezoneName -Cred $AdminCredentials } } Catch [system.Exception] { Write-Host -f Red $_.Exception.Message } } #Config parameters for SharePoint Online Admin Center and Timezone description $AdminSiteURL = "https://SHAREPOINT SITE URL.sharepoint.com/" $TimezoneName ="(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London" #Get credentials to connect to SharePoint Online Admin Center $AdminCredentials = Get-Credential #Connect to SharePoint Online Tenant Admin Connect-SPOService -URL $AdminSiteURL -Credential $AdminCredentials #Connect-SPOService -URL $AdminSiteURL #Get all Site Collections $SitesCollection = Get-SPOSite -Limit ALL #Iterate through each site collection ForEach($Site in $SitesCollection) { Write-host -f Yellow "Setting Timezone for Site Collection:"$Site.URL #Add as additional admin Set-SPOUser -Site $Site.URL -LoginName SITE ADMIN ACCOUNT YOUR USING -IsSiteCollectionAdmin $True #Call the function to set Timezone for the site Set-SPOnlineTimeZone -SiteURL $Site.URL -TimezoneName $TimezoneName -cred $AdminCredentials } #Read more: https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2017/06/sharepoint-online-change-time-zone-using-powershell.html#ixzz6ME4NC0Ne It's not ideal but it works.

Hi All, I'm trying to use a script to change the timezone on all my existing SharePoint sites (Have found the default to be wrong). I've found a number of scripts on this site: https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2017/06/sharepoint-online-change-time-zone-using-powershell.html I'm trying to use the bottom tenant wide script. However I'm getting stuck all the time with an error when setting the timezone: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. It does this on any site I'm not a member of. My account however is a SharePoint Online admin which should then allow access. However I also have MFA so I've changed the script a little so I can connect using MFA. #Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll" Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll" #function to change Timezone regional settings of a SharePoint Online site Function Set-SPOnlineTimeZone([string]$SiteURL,[string]$TimezoneName,[PSCredential]$Cred) { Try { #Setup Credentials to connect $Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password) #Set up the context $Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL) $Ctx.Credentials = $credentials #Get the Root web from given URL $Web = $Ctx.web $Ctx.Load($Web) #Get the Time zone to update $Timezones = $Web.RegionalSettings.TimeZones $Ctx.Load($Timezones) $Ctx.ExecuteQuery() $NewTimezone = $Timezones | Where {$_.Description -eq $TimezoneName} #Update the timezone of the site $Web.RegionalSettings.TimeZone = $NewTimezone $Web.Update() $Ctx.ExecuteQuery() Write-host -f Green "Timezone has been updated for "$Web.Url #Get all subsites of the web $Ctx.Load($Web.Webs) $Ctx.executeQuery() #Iterate through each subsites and call the function recursively Foreach ($Subweb in $Web.Webs) { #Call the function to set Timezone for the web Set-SPOnlineTimeZone -SiteURL $Subweb.URL -TimezoneName $TimezoneName -Cred $AdminCredentials } } Catch [system.Exception] { Write-Host -f Red $_.Exception.Message } } #Config parameters for SharePoint Online Admin Center and Timezone description $AdminSiteURL = "ADMIN URL" $TimezoneName ="(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London" #Get credentials to connect to SharePoint Online Admin Center $AdminCredentials = Get-Credential #Connect to SharePoint Online Tenant Admin Connect-SPOService -URL $AdminSiteURL #Get all Site Collections $SitesCollection = Get-SPOSite -Limit ALL #Iterate through each site collection ForEach($Site in $SitesCollection) { Write-host -f Yellow "Setting Timezone for Site Collection:"$Site.URL #Call the function to set Timezone for the site Set-SPOnlineTimeZone -SiteURL $Site.URL -TimezoneName $TimezoneName -cred $AdminCredentials } #Read more: https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2017/06/sharepoint-online-change-time-zone-using-powershell.html#ixzz6ME4NC0Ne I think the issue is the Set-SPOnlineTimeZone command is using the $AdminCredentials information which doesn't include MFA. However I can't found a way of telling it to use it. I've spent pretty much all day on this now and tried all sorts of different commands and scripts without luck. Has anyone managed to run commands on SharePoint sites with MFA?

Yep, wipe over screen, mouse, keyboard and the desk. Plus we also tend to wipe down the backs of chairs as the first thing you do when sitting down at a desk is pull the chair out.

My understand of 'Shape of the future' just means 'Educational Licence'. So its a discounted licence but can't be resold to non education settings. The OS itself isn't any different and you can replace it with your chosen OS. *However, this is Microsoft licencing and no one fully understands it so this is just my understanding of it..

It certain was! Have you tested or being using this?

I'm sure I read a thread on here a while back about pre-provisioning UWP apps to speed up local account creation? I now can't find it. Can anyway remember this and know of any links to either the post or documentation for it? Thanks, Rob

Governors and use of School email address
robyholmes replied to maxrebo's topic in How do you do....it?
Named accounts on the school system. It's school data not public so why allow it to leave your system. -
We have used skid feet ones which means they can get under the desk but don't damage the floor. We use them lots of rooms now. Stop kids tipping on them well after the first go) and protect the floor.

Yes although it would still existing as two separate versions. My understanding of the 'Help Desk Server' is its a VM setup to run the cloud helpdesk code.
