I'm just thinking resetting the sa password and changing the mode, but does veeam use the sa password - the sql setup only seems to have two logins, sa and Users I guess I can always snapshot the vm and revert it if I break it!

I inherited a working Veeam backup and replicationsystem that I've kept up to date and it works fine. I've noticed recently that we can now update from 12.3 to version 13 so I've tried to do this. The prerequisite check has flagged up that the Veeam SQL DB is running in 2012 mode, despite being on a Sql 2022 server - the problem is this SQL server was created by the Veeam install and the sa account is disabled, normal domain admins can't access the VeeamBackup DB using Windows authentication. I don't want to change the sa password unless I have to as I think the initial setup does all this - you're not supposed to be accessing the Veeam DB via SSMS I guess I'm not sure how to proceed with this, before I contact Veeam support I just wondered if anyone else had hit this problem?

It still works for us but if you pin any new items they disappear on logout and the start2.bin seems unmodified. Thanks MS for another backwards step
-
Its a shame, it was quite useful but I'll have to let staff know the old ways no longer work...
-
I used to use the start2.bin file copy method to deploy pinned items, its been a while since I needed to change it but now it doesn't seem to work anymore When I pin a new item, the start2.bin file for that user doesn't change (i.e datestamp doesn't change) and when they logoff/login again the pinned item has disappeared again I was fully expecting MS to break this at some point as they seem to go out of their way to stop local Start Menu customisation, but has this happened recently, or is it just me?

Smoothwall randomly showing cert errors
Sheridan replied to Sheridan's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Its particularly odd for us, as the cert was generated last year so has been deployed for a good while and this issue has only cropped up a couple of times - well, only a couple of reported times -
Smoothwall randomly showing cert errors

In my case the symptoms were definitely that the certificate was invalid or missing, but the cause was at the PC end. I've checked the GPO that holds the cert and its correct so I'll wait and see if it crops up again on another PC -
Smoothwall randomly showing cert errors

Definitely not cloud filter. And now its weirder as when I checked this morning the cert was there. I rebooted the PC and it wasn't there! I manually added it and its working now, so it not a problem at the smoothwall end at all - the certificate itself is playing hide and seek! -
A few staff have reported a seemingly random issue where a browser (chrome or edge) will show the certificate error - as if the Smoothwal cert wasn't installed on the PC (which it is) and they get all sorts of errors/warnings so can't use the browser In the logs we see a lot of these 200 - Sucess but in red Oddly the error seems to go away after a logoff and log back in - its pretty random where its hit (same OS level) We do https inspect search engines - and the cert is deployed network wide so I can't find a reason we're seeing this?

Moving into a new build next year, so no chance of that!
-
We're a bit knackered, the only boards we have that did work were Viewsonics, and now that's broken!
-
Yeah the Viewsonics display a pin, which the Ipad still asks for - we just now see a black screen after entering the pin
-
Possibly, but its only happened since iPadOS 27! They probably blame Apple, and vice versa
