Not sure if it's still broken, but there was an issue with the WSUS script for post install not fully working on 2022 which needed modification to get it to match versions In C:\Program Files\Update Services\Database there's a version check script is it still showing it as scriptMinorVersion is something like 11? Which is below that 2022 is currently running so needs to be changed to 51 (need to take control of the file, change it and then reset ownership on it), then run the post install again Don't have a server at hand to check, as only been dabbling with 2022 but guessing it might still be the case Steve

Cloud storage is for 3rd party items (dropbox etc) (and for individual users I think?) Regarding the permissions, it'd be the same whether it's individual sharepoints or a shared one really. You remove the owners/viewers, and set up new groups, like Maths_Staff, Maths_Student etc and apply that to the folders to inherit downwards Steve

That's the route we're planning to go down. Make one department/store team (note we plan to do english/maths etc, not one shared one for file limits to syncing), and then add it to the class teams via the tab option, so updating the one department will update every class. Only maintenance would be adding it to the Teams for each new year but after that should be golden to just ignore it Steve

Depending on which part exactly you're referring to, the suggestions by Pearson do say about bypassing the live/public requirements: etc That's all from one of the other Pearson IT requirements, but I don't see why it should be any different as it's the same module across all the qualifications Steve

From our SBM from another school she has talked to. Our LEA has a meeting booked in with ESS/ParentPay tomorrow too, so hopefully will hear some more! Steve Steve

The last version of Mu that was based on the exe was 1.03 https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/releases/download/1.0.3/mu-editor_1.0.3_win64.exe They then changed over to pup and included extra addons etc as part of the standalone installer which is now the msi version, so you'd need to use the msi switches if you want the latest one Steve

Looks like all the 21H1 updates are re-released too as suddenly got a few dozen appearing again in SCCM (I decline all the ones we don't want to tidy up the console), so guessing if anyone's sticking to that it's still worth updating your deployments Steve

Haven't tested it as we don't have those identities like company filled in, but couldn't you just use recipient as they have access to both company and ABP Something like: Get-Recipient -Filter "(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox')" | Where-Object {($_.Company -eq "Trust") -and ($_.AddressBookPolicy -eq $null)} Or: Get-Recipient -Filter "(RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Company -eq 'Trust') -and (AddressBookPolicy -notlike '*')" Steve

It's already on release preview channel so guessing it'll still be soon unless anything major is found as it's still showing as the November update Steve

Then you shouldn't be running a company/school environment if you don't care. You're purposely putting security risks into place on a network because you like it that really isn't a justifiable excuse...

WUfB is it's own system in that regards, things like inTune/SCCM just have the pretty wrapper on top, but it's all GPO based underneath it. Generally though it's designed that once the GPOs are setup there is no "controlling it" it just does it as set "URL" wise I'm not sure what you mean, it's GPOs so it's set on your clients. There is a report part in Azure that's got a url etc, but the basic WUfB isn't a website etc Regarding starting out with it I'd be tempted to say wait for 21H2 they're changing the way Windows updates work in regards to being able to set things like drivers to go to one update system, while updates come from another, so you'd be better off starting based on that logic in regards to what you want setup on it Steve

Short-term wise? Instant recovery via Veeam/HyperV on the backup server for the key servers Long term wise, warranty/full restore etc Steve

Ah if you have nothing set at all, not even to cert store it'd be in ProgramData\certify\assets"certname etc" In regards to what you want set, what exactly are you trying to do? Like is this renewed on the same machine? a different server? Papercut doesn't use the default store, it uses it's own java keystore, so the original bit doesn't make much difference where you put it whether to store/programdata etc, it's just based on whatever place you put it to export from in your script Steve

By default on Windows it’d be in your Cert store (personal) on the computer unless you’ve set it to do any exports etc Run mmc and add in Certificate plugin etc (as computer account ) Steve

Not that I've ever seen that in a curriculum, but if that's really what they're after the two options that spring to mind would be makey makey boards for scratch, microbit or flowol potentially? Thinking like when water rises to X amount it'll complete the makey makey circuit, or vibrations will hit two contacts etc at the very base level Steve

Who’s your domain with? A lot of them have api built in for updating it with a quick script (client depending etc) that could just be scheduled Especially if it’s all going to be a subdomain of the one main domain would probably work out cheaper to migrate that domain to a register that does api even if yours doesn’t Just a thought Steve

Must be a new release as it’s been out a few months now http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-server-2019/223424-windows-server-2022-ninja-released.html Steve

So the cert renewal is automated as per the normal route (We use Certify but whichever you use), which also automatically exports the cert with private key etc I then have the Import commands all ready in a BAT file to re-run, at a time we choose (normally half-term/holidays etc), as we reuse the same passwords etc so you can just import it without overriding the settings in papercut files etc First we auto copy the file from the server doing the renewal to the print server e.g. \\PRINTSERVER\c$\Program Files\PaperCut MF\server\custom Then from a CMD/PS file set to run within "C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\runtime\jre\bin" You can automate the import into the keystore using: keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore "C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\server\custom\Papercut.pfx" -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore "C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\server\custom\my-ssl-keystore" As long as the exported keys match what was in the papercut config file no changes required, and then auto-restart services Basically only bit to manually do is the acceptance on the printers which is normally done over the half-term/holidays where it falls into it, else a quick 1st thing on a Monday morning job Steve

In what regards? We use it for it, but you can't really automate it due to the acceptance on the printers for the new certs etc Steve

I could imagine a usage case for paying for internet to use in free periods etc in 6th forms etc, if it's for random browsing/other non-school related items just to save using personal data etc, but not if it's related to teaching/required lessons etc Steve

Veeam all day We don't bother backing up the actual Host, as it doesn't take long to rebuild etc, but everything in the VMs via Veeam Fully cluster aware with backups/restores etc by default Steve

It generally works slightly slower than just version numbers, but it's things like: SELECT Caption FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Caption LIKE "Microsoft Windows 11%" You could also add in version numbers if you want Win11 21H2 only etc but depends if you just want Win11 any version (We break it down a lot more in SCCM to Win10 1909, Win10 20H2 etc) Using cmd/powershell, run "wmic os get caption" and it'll return what you need to use in the caption for a said machine Steve

You could try adding a second filter using “caption” to the query We use these within SCCM for similar purposes between editions etc Steve

There's normally a hidden folder in the root of C: something along the lines of C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther and then inside there there's a few files that might setup like the setuperr and the compat files at the top that'll talk about driver blocking etc Steve

Good Afternoon All, Had a bit of an odd scenario going on this term and wondered if anyone had seen similar. We moved a few computers around over Summer and this allowed us to connect Epson projectors to some computers via HDMI (rather than VGA), ever since this they've been receiving a randomly occurring issue where the projector only shows black screen and nothing you do (changing inputs/settings on projectors) will wake it up to show the image, "apart" from making a sound on the computer which then magically wakes the projector This seems to only happen a few times in a week on random machines, so it's nothing happening everytime, and only seems to be a case when someones switched user and left the projector inactive over a break/lunch, so it's not randomly occuring in the middle of a lesson etc Tried the normal with drivers/projector settings etc, but nothing seems to be resolving it currently. Yet without fail making any noise on the pc will fix it! Any thoughts would be appreciated Steve
