Hi, Really odd, I have started to get this error. I assume it is something about the model numbers in SnipeIT? New-SnipeitAsset : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'model_id'. Cannot convert the "System.Object[]" value of type "System.Object[]" to type "System.Int32". At C:\Program Files\SnipeIT\AssetInventory_SnipeIT.ps1:70 char:83 + ... Name -tag $assetTag -serial $serial -Model_id $modelSelection -Status ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: ( [New-SnipeitAsset], ParameterBindingArgumentTransformationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,New-SnipeitAsset

Brilliant thanks for your help all.

Hi all, Hope you are well. Need some guidance on this, as sometimes for exams/taster days, I need to copy folders/files, to multiple folders for users to access exam worksheets etc. Is there a way to script this rather than having to copy and paste multiple times? It can be 100s of user home folders that I need to copy to, so having the destination in a text/csv file would be the best option? Thanks

Ignore I have managed to sort this as well. AssetTag is a required field, so I added it so that both assettag and serialnumber get populated with the same thing, then I can manually edit the assettag. Not great but better than it could have been, so thanks so much for passing this on.

Sorry I obviously don't know the difference between APP key and API key.

Sorry, I am getting this when it tries to connect to the SnipeIT Website. Any ideas? Invoke-SnipeitMethod : Cannot connect to Snipe It: Unauthorized.

You're a star thanks so much. Sorry not much of a programmer, quick question if you don't mind. I notice that the script check the existence of the assets by the asset tag, which is the device serial number, as we put barcodes of 5 digit numbers as asset tags, so it wouldn't be the serial number. Is there a way to change the check to the serial number? Again sorry for basic question.

Hi all, Hope you are well. I was wondering has anyone setup SnipeIT automated inventory using the API? There is a SnipeIT powershell wrapper for the API, has anyone tried this? Thanks

Hi, Yeah I agree, but I am looking at moving them to virtual environment, but going to take some work.

Hi, That's right. Yeah before my time, all students could run executables for their programming courses from their desktops, so even students who didn't need this could do it. So when they have create code in Unity or some other program they can put it and run it from their desktops.

Hi, Hope you are well. I want to set it up that certain applications can only be run in 2 rooms in a school. Can I add a computer group to a applocker rule or would I need to create a separate applocker GPO? Before I started it was setup that student could run programs for their courses from their desktops (limited in size), but I have now got support to limit this ability to just 2 rooms for programming. Thanks

Hi all, Hope you are well. I have been asked to install OpenVSP on some PCs at a school, it hasn't got an installer, so was going to run it from a share. Has anyone else used this software?

Thanks both, apologies I did look for similar posts, but nothing showed. Roll on the holiday break. Thanks

Did you manage to sort this? I am trying to run Mu but it keeps erroring as it wants to run in appdata. Can't find the settings file that points to this, any help would be appreciated?

Hi all, Hope you are well. My school needs to do more with programming, networking next year, they use Unity, Python and many others. How do you ensure that the student can do all the programming, testing that they need, but keeping the school network safe? Part of me likes the idea of a separate virtual environment for this work to be done, but not sure on the work/logistics of it?

Thanks after using the Win 11 hardware readiness script, 80% of the PCs "we're not compatible" most with CPU only 3 with TPU. I had a go installing on a couple and Win 11 went on fine.

Thanks for the responses, I have used a trial of Lansweeper in the past and seen that it has a Windows 11 compatibility report, so ill have a look at that. But if memory serves it allows limited number of clients to scan. WufB, we have WSUS. Is there a benefit to WufB over WSUS?

Hi all, I want to pull together a list of the non Win 11 PCs at the schools. How do you check Windows 11 compatibility on your PCs do you use the checker can you do this without? Thanks

Thats brilliant thanks for that.

Hiya all, I have decided to rebuild AD and GP at one of the schools I work. Its a bit of a mess, with GPOs there from when we first moved to vanilla from RM CC3 in 2012. So I am starting with new base OU and build from there. I may look at this for another school I look after also. Their AD and GP were built by a company, and it looks like they used a template build, with a lot of things not really applying to the school. Both schools are secondary. Are there any GPOs that people recommend, ones that really work well for you? Found my previous post from 2017 - /forums/windows-server-2008-r2/185285-ad-gpo-cleanup.html - didn't get round to properly doing it.

Hmmm not sure what it is then. I get quite a few reports, when staff are using Office desktop apps, when they try to change orientation etc. It will say not responding. My first thought was the disconnected drives, but maybe not.

That gives me a good starting point, thanks.

@Oaktech and @Mako thanks for your posts, this is something we are looking at just not there yet. Gave me some food for thought though. Thanks.

Hi @Bird97 that's exactly what I want to do, I vaguely remember having something similar years ago. Don't suppose you can point me in the right direction for that script? Cheers.

Hi all, Staff can take their laptops and use from home, we use cached accounts and offline files. Their home drive (H drive) is available thanks to offline files, but StaffShared, StudentShare etc, aren't. When staff use their laptops at home, they hang when they use Office apps. I believe this is due to the other network drives being disconnected. What is the best way to deal with this? I was thinking if I made a script that they can use to delete the disconnected drives at home. We are looking at setting up a VPN or Direct Access, but staff are really struggling until then. Thanks
