thanks, where do I check that please?

hello, since moving to Powershell 7 and VSCode I can not connect to the ExchangeOnline module (or the 365 Security Compliance Center). Other modules (Azure, Teams, SharePoint) seem OK. Running the same commands in Powershell 5 work OK. I have the latest VSCode. Can anyone advise why the 'OperationStopped: Could not load type 'Microsoft.Identity...'error is coming up? Thanks PS C:\> Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement Directory: C:\Users\PBJStaff\OneDrive - School\Documents\PowerShell\Modules ModuleType Version PreRelease Name PSEdition ExportedCommands ---------- ------- ---------- ---- --------- ---------------- Script 3.5.1 ExchangeOnlineManagement Desk {Add-VivaModuleFeaturePolicy, Get-ConnectionInformation, Get-DefaultTenantBriefingConfig, Get-DefaultTenantMyAnalyticsFeatureConfig…} PS C:\> Connect-ExchangeOnline [b]OperationStopped: Could not load type 'Microsoft.Identity.Client.BaseAbstractAcquireTokenParameterBuilder`1' from assembly 'Microsoft.Identity.Client, Version=4.50.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0a613f4dd989e8ae'.[/b]

This works great, most imaging failures get fixed after diskpart, this makes sure diskpart is always run..

Hello, does anyone recommend an IT recycling company. we currently use Stone but they are now charging £750 for a van load of stuff...although I kinda thought the recycling cost was added at purchase and WEEE dictates the supplier must recycle for free if buying like for like equipment.....meh. So does anyone use a company that recycles, reliably turns up and provides data destruction certification? I am in Wiltshire BTW. Thanks

If the SW monitor is also looking at key strokes I assume we need to deploy some software on-site. Does this affect the way we currently filter our web requests. Our Intune laptops have the cloud plug in deployed and essentially without that the machine is completely unfiltered, does it require that or is it a completely different software?

Hello, does anyone use/recommend Smoothwall Monitor? They push features such as real time monitoring, Human-moderated, notification simplicity. We already have alerting setup internally (so concerning Smoothwall results go to a safeguarding staff) so I am struggling to see what the extra £x000 will bring. https://smoothwall.com/solutions/monitor? Any experience of this? Thanks

I am creating a 2 switch stack on the Aruba CX. Each switch has 2 DAC cables - switch 1 port 49 plugged into switch 2 port 50 switch 2 port 49 plugged into switch 1 port 50 I was thinking the command (after factory resetting both) was simply: vsf member 1 type R8Q71A link 1 1/1/49-1/1/50 vsf member 2 type jl727a link 1 2/1/49-2/1/50 but I am seeing the second member as 'not present' when running show vlf after reboot. Is there more to it? --------------------------------------------------------- Mbr Mac Address type Status ID --- ------------------- -------------- --------------- 1 ec:87:94:d3:e1:00 R8Q71A Conductor 2 JL727A Not Present Thanks

Thanks for replies. The tag/untag commands have changed too?

Hello, we have a few new Aruba CX 6200 series switches and there is some confusion over the command to set IP/DG/DNS address on the switch and specify its 'management' VLAN. Can someone please advise the commands? Thanks

Thanks for the replies I will check your recommended possibly cheaper solutions.

unfortunately this still doesnt work C:\office\setup.exe /configure C:\config.xml Microsoft have closed the case: When executing the ODT setup tool logged in as administrator with the same configuration file, the product installs without problems, which confirms it's not an issue with the device status; not a problem with the setup tool. Situation: - As per several of our official articles, usage of ODT will require administrator privileges; - SYSTEM privileges, while theoretically similar privileges to the administrator, have access to different functions and do not allow the same range of functions as the administrator privileges; - The fact that the old ODT allowed you to install based on the PS script with System privileges does not mean we supported so in the first place. Unfortunately we would not be able to proceed further.

Do you mean the error log or startup script? The script is a single line setup.exe /configure path to xml Thanks

Yes I’m surprised too. They’re quite expensive though, not looked too hard. Do u remember ur education friendly supplier? Thanks

How do you provide a student solution for: 1. Reading a physical piece of paper. Maybe reader pens and headphones? The SEN department says they have not had good experiences with them. 2. Reading a digital document (exam PDF/Word for example). We currently use TextHelp Read/Write software but it's now annual subscription based and quite pricey. Windows 'read aloud' doesn't seem to read anything properly (if at all) other than web pages. Thanks for any advice.

I dont even use a local source we were advised to use the MS source (tried both locations though during tests). I could try and copy setup.exe and config.xml to C: and then continue my install script referencing those files...? The error is below if you have any thoughts (only occurs as staup script remember...: "ErrorCode": 0, "ErrorType": "", "AppVErrorSource": "", "ErrorMessage": "", "ErrorDetails": "", "ContextData": "{\"message\":\"Run Inspector tool process\",\"Process\":\"InspectorOfficeGadget.exe\",\"Command\":\"deprovisionuninstall --displayname \\\"Microsoft.Office.Desktop\\\" --logfile and "ErrorMessage": "", "ErrorDetails": "", "ContextData": "{\"message\":\"Failed to use PowerShell deprovision Appx package\",\"Error\":\"Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'PackageName' because it is null.\"}"}

If you’re using MDT how do u go about installing a new version? My current broken PS method can check for a new version, uninstall old and then install new. Used for 2019 to 365 move for example..

Thanks, can you specify the custom .xml as part of the setup in MDT? current PS command: Start-Process "\\files\Office\Office365\Deployment\setup.exe" -ArgumentList '/configure "\\files\Office\Office365\Deployment\Office365Config.xml"' -Wait

Thanks, i have briefly looked at chooclatey, is it paid for? simple to use? better than GPO?

Hello, how are you deploying Office365 nowadays, I am finding our PowerShell start-up script (that runs setup.exe and references a custom .xml) is failing, it always works when signed in, but at start-up if hangs and fails....only sometimes of course. MS have denied any responsibility and closed our support case. So, we don't use SCCM, and we're using AD/GPO (not Intune), any ideas? Thanks

I am buying a new 4 x 48 port switch stack for one of our main admin buildings. Going to stick with Aruba as we have 80% Aruba already. The thing that is really making quotes super expensive is buying model have some Multi Gig 2.5G (Smart Rate) ports, and their respective stacking partners, this is as per the DFE standards. I would like some assurance that new switches should be bought with this standard. We don't have anything that needs it now, but switches may be around 10 years. This would be the only place in a large site with 2.5G ports, so if we were thinking about a total wireless AP refresh, if they all required 2.5G ports we would need many many of these switches. ahh upgrades. Thanks

I think you need to keep any SEN and In Care student data up to when they turn 25, so migrating the default 5 years (for Bromcom) will not cut it if the police come knocking one day to ask for this legally required data on a student who left 10 years ago. The only way found this was possible (Capita professional services could not even offer a paid for service) was to identify them using bulk delete (showing the ones it wouldn't delete as they were 'Ever SEN' etc) and then export them individually via Routines/Data Out/Person. You can probably do this programmatically somehow.

I’ve read an article that suggests a run once scheduled task, and that was the only way they got it encrypted initially.

Thanks, I will check those TPM GPO. Mavhc - can you please post what the actual GPO setting is to enable bitlocker, maybe I’ve missed something. If you have the time a couple of screenshots of the general Bitlocker GPO and the Operating system drive bitlocker settings would be really great.

I have created a GPO to set Bitlocker settings for the OS drive, saving the key to AD. I then run a command to enable Bitlocker if not already enabled. Enable-BitLocker -MountPoint C: -SkipHardwareTest -RecoveryPasswordProtector This works fine and a key is written to AD. Last bit of testing I put the enable command in a startup script (rather than testing when logged in) but it hangs with error: add-tpmprotectorinternal a required priveledge is not held by the client Maybe I am enabling Bitlocker wrong? How you doing it? Thanks

thanks, this is all really useful. Presumably you can get keyboard-less tablet style chromebooks?
