I know you said it's not an imaged laptop or any modifications, but seeing you have custom software installed like Teracopy are you sure it's not an issue with that? Seeing it normally replaces the standard copy/paste functions with its own? Never seen that occur on any versions of Windows at all, and the fact you say it's affecting so many models/versions suggests its something that's being installed out the ordinary Steve

Just to confirm, you do realise that 30 min cycle doesn't do passwords? They're on a separate 2 minute schedule for password updates that runs independently If you have longer delays with password resets sync'ing it's more likely to be linked to AD replication timings etc depending on how it's being changed Steve
-
It's normally within the SIMs server, under system manager that you tell it your name you want them to login with, unless I'm misunderstanding the question (There is a two way trust right?) Surely if user is still on Domain1, and SIMs is now on Domain2 if SIMs includes Domain1\User1 it'll still work? Steve
-
It's a bit of a bodge in a sense, but can't you change the connect.ini to be trustedauto rather than trusted, so if it fails to login it'll default to asking for credentials? Alternatively, can't you change their login names in SIMs to match the new domain (or old one) depending which aren't working Steve
-
Any reason you don't use your core switch/firewall as the DG? Rather than the ISP router etc? Then just use a default route to push that out to the Firewall/ISP router etc. Only things that should affect with the second hop would be things that are trying to bypass it either way, as anything going via proxy etc would act in that manner anyway Steve

You could try removing the MASReceipt for one of the free ones and see if it lets you redownload them, but I'm pretty sure that would unlink paid for ones from VPP and link to whatever account you're logged in via. Steve

Coronavirus: General discussion (see opening post for rules)
Steve21 replied to Dos_Box's topic in General Chat
We have our school making all teachers prepare a folder of seating plans for the last week of lessons (As in a seperate one to normal just for this purpose), and then an single shared mailbox setup for parents to email with any positive tests that'll be remotely monitored by a number of SLT/Admin etc. Was rather pleased with their thoughts on that one Steve -
Any packages you're injecting like .NET that you might not have updated for the new OS/WIM? Steve

Out of curiosity, how nicely does the Aruba play with the Unifi in terms of fibre/dacs etc? Was considering a similar route, but most older threads I've seen seem to say they don't play nicely. Seemed a nice combination of powerful routing (with servers on aruba on our setup), and then all the edge unifi etc Many thanks, Steve

Which catering system do you use? I know Cunningham have one like you said including pre orders, with FSM and Duty meal allowances etc But guessing that only links to their own system Steve

We've just had 100~ of these in https://cpc.farnell.com/aukey/pclm1e/webcam-1080p-30fps-stereo/dp/CS33915?ost=aukey for parents evenings etc Compared to the Logitech's the brightness control is a bit off, but when comparing the prices etc can't really complain Guessing if you want it for home, depends if it's for anything semi-professional like streaming etc, or just calls etc?

"Currently" about 22TB, although most of that is junk as seems my new place hasn't cleaned up in a decade! But either way size aside, going full flash for redundancy only doesn't seem very cost effective if a 1:1/1:2 does work, thus the question Steve
-
Morning All, Just looking at speccing up a full school refresh for servers, and wanted to check if anyone knew about the priority of caching for S2D For example if I went for an unusual 1:1 ratio with SSD/HDD on a 2 way mirror, would it effectively become a full flash array while both hosts are up because the redundancy part of the data would always fall back into the HDD as it's not used, while the main servers would always be cached due to the large cache? (Same logic on a 1:2 ratio on a 3 way mirror etc?) Or could you still end up with primary data in HDD while redundancy sits in flash? Thanks, Steve
-
Reserved normally just indicates that another node owns it If you have two hosts etc in the cluster have you checked from the other one? Or using failover cluster managed rather than comp management Steve

Aye, been looking at Unifi recently for wireless, and I know on broadbandbuyer it works out silly difference between hosting it yourself and them doing it Ubiquiti UAP-AC-PRO 5 Pack without hosting £494.76 Ubiquiti UAP-AC-PRO 5 Pack with 3 yr hosting £496.77 So what £2.01 for 5 APs over 3 Years Always an option if you don't want to bother with key etc on-site Steve
-
Are you a secondary school? Sure I read that Secondaries were 10GB+ on Bromcom, guessing 3GB is primary limit? In terms of your actual question though, from my understanding it depends on the documents, in terms of whether they're needed for any quick safeguarding decisions etc. No use having a lets say court order in backups if it's needed to be checked (random example) Steve
-
Do you mean web-based when you're saying App? or the actual App? I take it you have Forms enabled on your 365 licenses if you're doing quizzes etc? Any screenshot/example of what you see? Steve
-
Is she trying to use a custom app to do it? If so you might not have the app enabled in said classes The normal assignment/quizzes are created within the Team, so you don't need to pick a class as it's assigned to whichever class you have open when you create the assignment. Thus that screen shouldn't be appearing in the first place, as soon as you create the quiz it'll auto give options within a class (Example Below): Steve

Most sites with the pre-orders are showing 2nd-5th December for next drop, but obviously will only be a small amount again If you’re aiming for that one specifically might be worth throwing a few pre-order/alerts on the main sites Steve

Where G Suites/Google Workspace is lacking - management tools

Do you mean that source:domain command? Was reading about that a little while back on reddit too Steve -
Laptop/Monitor/Keyboard etc hideaway storage box
Steve21 replied to LeMarchand's topic in General Chat
Do you mean an actual desk in that sense? Or something that's on the desk? Bit confused as 3 lines of your description I read into it differently. Like one is a box on top that hides it away, but is easily open to be able to use (without moving items), but this would still sit on top of the table The other is one where it flips up "from" the table so it's entirely flat on top when you aren't using it (Like the pop-up desks you get in music suites often) Steve -
You can also put the random install delays option on so it’ll do clients at different times Using the bits limiting will affect any downloads that use bits even if only one machine etc is on at said time, but obviously will still work Steve
-
No the "Profile Path" you did in that screenshot is what makes it roaming. For local profiles, you just don't set one. So create a test user without the profile path, and you can log into any other machine to test it. Shouldn't need to use a special machine etc Steve
-
You can also use folder redirection, so anything in Documents/Music/Downloads/Desktops etc etc is saved on the server, not locally. And yes it'll be quicker after the first login to a machine as it doesn't need to pull profiles down, just uses what's local. First login will always be a bit slower as normal as it has to create their profile In terms of you accessing their work, you'd do it on the server (or via the UNC paths etc for their drives) as normal, that won't affect anything in that sense If you don't have a test student/teacher setup, make an account and try it and see if how it works Steve
