I know there is a "So not a Transporter" joke in here somewhere.... I just can't quite find the delivery!

Anyone tried this to remove non-needed drivers and see if it gives some space back? Not tried on Windows 11 myself but did free up a whole bunch of space on Win10 for me one time. https://www.tenforums.com/performance-maintenance/149630-old-devices-driver-cleanup-one-command.html Rundll32.exe c:\windows\system32\pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DEVICES /DRIVERS /FILES /MAXCLEAN For pnpclean output see c:\windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log Note - this didn't show any output, but could see it cleaning up in the background when watching the log file

Unless it somehow makes a miraculous rebound in the near future: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hololens3-microsofts-last-best-chance-define-future-mixed-tony-leone-hgalf

Looks like Microsoft have stopped producing HoloLens devices. sounds like they are being deprecated? : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2151213/microsoft-stops-hololens-2-production-support-to-e

I always found GParted an easy way to see what's going on and move / resize partitions / volumes. https://gparted.org/ Don't forget to backup / snapshot beforehand!

I just noticed that Edugeek now has a https certificate - protected by Cloudflare and has re-directed me to https! Thanks for getting that sorted - Greatly appreciated! *Edit* - After spotting a theme change, suddenly the site is only partially protected? http://awscdn.cdngeek.net/img/night_bg_1.jpg - not https

Just in case someone else comes across this - If you have completed the steps to impliment Windows LAPS, can query for the LAPS password using PowerShell but the LAPS tab doesn't appear when checking a computer object in Active Directory Users & Computers on Windows 10, you may be running an out-of-date version of the RSAT package. If you uninstall Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2693643) to remove the RSAT tools currently installed, you can then install RSAT using Features On Demand instead. The install / uninstall instructions for the old RSAT package here have further details (including recommending and advising on how to install the newer version using Features On Demand instead): https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=45520

I do hope this is implimented soon, I recall spotting requests/advice for https to be used site wide on the edugeek website approximatly 4-5 years ago. Fingers crossed the testing goes well and can be implimented quickly!

That is just shocking!

Hold on! Don't leave without your fuschia! XD

You can mount bitlocker volumes on Linux / Mac OSX with the dislocker package, This works with either the recovery key or the bitlocker volume password - https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker There is also a project to make this easier for end users (I haven't used or tested this one yet, Your Mileage May Vary) - https://github.com/soachishti/dislocker-gui

I spot a URL typo (link does work) - I didn't know stackware was a distro, slackware's cousin maybe?

Further to this - some certain sleep modes on some models don't allow the workstation to be woken up by WOL (network adapter goes off) - might be worth testing this on your devices too.

I have set-up Microsoft DirectAccess previously too, it's quite something! Allows WSUS to push updates to them off-site, GPOs apply, remote desktop and remote assistance work well too! Bare in mind however that it uses IPv6 and/or DNS/NAT 6to4 as a proxy through the DirectAccess server. Some applications wouldn't run properly over this when I played with it (such as the Impero Remote Control to a client. Lightspeed internet filter client also had a few issues initially however I think those were sorted in the end), as they required native IPv6 support. This was 3 odd years ago however so it might have changed, but thought it best to let you know. Might be worth checking first! ---------------------------------------- Actually, you might want to check this first! Richard Hicks blog was immensely helpful when I went through the set-up process, but it looks like DirectAccess may not be here for the long term! https://directaccess.richardhicks.com/2017/07/24/always-on-vpn-and-the-future-of-microsoft-directaccess/

Looking into it further, the link seems to have changed : Office project page link shows v4 as latest : Katana: Help I think I have found a download source (I haven't checked it yet) : https://sourceforge.net/projects/katana-usb/

Looks like the link is dead - project disappeared?

I'm glad this is still going!

I thought quotes caused powershell to literally enter what you type as a string, so the string $StudentDefine would be the output instead of the variable contents?

I am working from memory here so might be wrong - Place () brackets around your variable, so it get's evaluated before anything else (and therefore turns the variable contents into a string in-line before the rest of the line runs).

The service checker page is back to normal now. I guess they have repaired whatever the issue was.

Same, as far as I am aware the UPN has always been required for ParentPay uploads.

Discombobulated is generally a humorous entry! ^_^

Almost certain it's somehow driver related if that is the case, as the device works on another system, but isn't even showing in diskpart. Have you tried taking a look with something like this? Does it show a HDD as an installed device, or any devices without a driver installed? -> Alternative to device manager of Windows (Not used the above before, advice found here : https://community.landesk.com/docs/DOC-23264)

make / model of SSD? - Does Diskpart show the disk from the Windows PE command line?
