Aye, as above, or on the similar lines if you have any custom drivers in your boot you may need to re-add them if it regenerated the image rather than updating it (As in when confmgr auto pulls the ADK over the old ones) Steve

Not sure what the "lots of trouble" aspect is? There's very few network based programs nowadays that need much opening, and for most programs that need it they give you all the ports. And it's internal access really that helps, if one machine gets compromised etc it's not going to spread internally etc think conficker wise from XP days. Seems like trying to cut corners for no real reason if I'm honest. Steve

The cooling method wouldn't affect if it's throttling it. Even if it's passive if it reached a certain temp it'd flag on. If you try https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-throttlestop/ on it does it flag any reasons it's throttling? Steve

You might want to temporarily (only temp! To test once) disable PROCHOT and see if it goes above There’s built in temp warnings that will limit it to 800MHz if it flags above a set level (Same thing will often flag if it’s not a genuine recognised adapter) Steve

Building to house is only about 15-20m (It's just double layer brick build on the outbuilding), but in terms of the current router it's on the other side of the house so through 3/4 internal walls as well as the distance. You just about get a decent enough signal on the side of the house nearest the outbuilding in terms of any meshing etc. Steve

Sadfully all the fibre/cable options are pretty much ruled out by the concrete drive as mentioned, but I forgot about point to point links! Gonna have to have a check over the weekend and see if that'll work Thanks Steve

The best way to do it would be to create a secondary storage area (or just a new repository etc within veeam), and then just use that for your scaling. If you do it on the old one it'll auto enable scaling for all jobs. Though by the sounds of it what you're asking isn't really designed to do that, the way you're setting this up is for when the local storage is basically full up it'll offload the oldest to the storage blob. So like your monthly backup will physically move offsite to Azure, it's not like the copy job where it creates a secondary one. If you're expecting to end up with an on-site monthly backup and off-site (same restore point etc) which it sounds like you were I'm not sure if this will do what you want compared to CloudConnect etc Steve

Evening All, Trying to think of a neater way to do this, but struggling. Basically, trying to get the wifi signal extended into an outbuilding for a relative, however the easy option of powerlines are out because the wiring within the outbuilding is seriously old (Think fusewire old!). Running an armoured/external cable isn't really an option as they have an old concrete drive between the buildings and it isn't close enough for a simple throw over. (Not in the mood for digging that up! ) Inside they have the Virgin Superhub, and don't really want to replace this fully (Else would just throw in 2/3 UniFi meshed and turn the SH into modem only). Can you use a single UniFi as a downlink to a Superhub or is it only to other UniFis? Or is it really one of those times you think a "standard" extender is the way to go? Not really fussed about the 5GHz aspect, so happy with a 2.4GHz etc if you have any ideas. Appreciate any ideas! Steve

Good Evening All, Anyone know a way to revert Outlook (PC Version not Web) to the older theme (Like last months) rather than this new layout that just looks like it's not finished yet? No idea why MS feel the need to keep changing it, but deffo a step backwards! Thanks, Steve

Any head@ style emails go to PA or contact@ reception etc, only direct name emails go to head etc Adds a nice level of crap filtering! Steve

Don’t think there was an option via GPO directly but you can set the Reg key via NewmailDesktopAlerts and disable it like that Steve

When it says it’s included it should prepop the values with what’s embedded allowing you to override it? Does it show what it’s rated at now? If so just make that a really different number (higher or lower as can’t remeber which way it went) Unless it’s something on the child lists etc Steve

Looks like it's the new build pre-wiring option they do, normally it's within flats, but a lots of developers will pre-install it nowadays to save people digging up roads later when they do allow connections (especially around lease holds where you can't legally dig up their road etc ) Guessing that's the Eurosat module in the 2nd pic. In regards to the last picture, I'd guess it might be one of their new telephone over fibre boxes, if you check on the bottom does it have more ports like a hub? If so it's probably the Hub3 with Digital Voice Examples below: Steve

By default Windows only "blocks" files that come from another security zone, e.g. Downloaded files etc, based on the Alternate Data Streams file attributes that are set Thus his assumption if it's blocked it's downloaded Steve

If you want to test it, try doing it this way as this would rule out any path issues etc if you still get a warning with this it's gonna be a GPO issue: User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Attachment Manager -> Inclusion list for low file types add .lnk to it and gpupdate/test etc Steve

Is NLA enabled on the server RDP config? If so does it work if you disable that? If you change the MSTSC advanced options on the client end (server auth) from warn me, to connect and don't warn does it still fail? Steve

How long ago was it last updated? There were some patches that broke RDP but that was like last year the ones I last remember anyway. Can you remote to it from another Server OS? (Wasn't sure if you meant RDP from the HOST or like local access) As it was only clients that got affected by the patch I'm referring to Steve

The process to re-flash them with the original firmware is included in that post, but in regards to using it on Windows 10 we never found any problems with it (while it was still used) as long as it was installed originally using compat mode might be worth a try Steve

That's rather an open ended question really Give us some more info, how big is the company? Where do the workers work? Is it all remote based/travelling, or one office etc? What programs/services? If it's a small company it's likely that AzureAD will work out better, if it's bigger and there's no "real" need for everyone to be fully remote it's most likely standard server will work better (Depending on hardware costs etc I guess?) Steve

Haha sometimes it's the little things that get overlooked at least its working hey Only an old old SW image, not used it in a long time I'm afraid, Why what's up? Steve

You have to have changed the user to admin flag in the config file else it'll only install for the system account (using SCCM) or normal account for manual run ; Installation mode. It can be user or admin. ; NOTE: for admin mode please use "Run as Administrator" for command prompt to avoid UAC dialog. [b][color="#FF0000"]mode=user[/color][/b] ; Desktop shortcut for launchers launcher32=0 launcher64=1 ; Add launchers path to PATH env variable updatePATH=0 ; Download and install jre32. This may take a few minutes. jre32=0 ; Download and install python. This may take a few minutes. python2=0 python3=0 ; List of associations. To create an association change value to 1. .py=0 Check that and shout back Steve

Well from the log there, it seems it can't get to the internet to download it. You sure you're running the full offline version? Also what flags are you running on the install command? Also did you setup the config file? If you're doing silent by default it'll only work for that user (aka system) you need to turn on admin install within the config file to get system wide Steve

Basically, to stop any issues as mentioned above you "should" limit your allocated vCPUs to your threads, so in this case 16 (8C/16T) per CPU aka 32 total if you got 2. So up to 32 vCPUs can be allocated without any contention in that regards. In reality though, over doing it by a little won't make much different (Lets say you allocate 35) unless you're expecting sub-milli responses to everything, it's only if for example you allocated 320 you're now effectively losing 90% of what you could use if that makes sense (in very simple terms before anyone abuses my maths ) Steve

If it’s an old style camcorder does it have a standard video out that could be Plugged straight into tv etc? If so could use an adapter on that obviously not as good as straight FireWire but might be an option if it’s got one Steve

Depends on what each bit is running, as some servers do different bits, but generally 2 for DCs (3 DCs on-site so again roles split using failover), 2 for FileServers, 8 for SIMs (again running other software too like Emerge), Web Servers 1, others normally 2-4 depending That's based on a 64 "core" (thread) setup though, so depends how many you got to play with I guess Steve
