    Do you have Excel installed on the remote server? You know that any files that SIMS open will use applications on the remote server, essentially running IE/Excel etc as RemoteApps also.

    Among other errors, you are saying goto end but you don't have an end label so it will error out if the file exists and you're not checking the other folder exists. @ECHO OFF ::Copy Minetest folder to C from FS01 IF EXIST "%userprofile%\Desktop\Minetest.lnk" GOTO SKIP1 xcopy "\\fs01\SoftwareDrivers\Software\Minetest Script\Minetest.lnk" "%userprofile%\Desktop" /s /i :SKIP1 IF EXIST "c:\Minetest" GOTO SKIP2 xcopy "\\fs01\SoftwareDrivers\Software\Minetest" "c:\Minetest" /s /i :SKIP2 You can use a GPO to place this file though, it will be a lot cleaner.

    Did you set up a cluster or just stand alone hosts? Also what kind of storage are you using?
  4. ChrisMiles
    Honestly you're fighting a loosing battle. However many ways you can think of that they can do this there are 100 more. Focus your energy on making sure that when they get access to C drive there's nothing damaging they can do by ensuring permissions are correct and no unwanted software is present. By trying to block these things you just turn it into a game. We don't even restrict access to these things and it's not a problem. What can they really do?

    The limit on path length for office is 259 characters, is it possible that c:\Users\Username.domain\Documents\myfile.docx is longer than 259?
  6. ChrisMiles
    Do you use folder redirection? If so whats the network path to their Documents folder? How long is it? How long is the average user profile "username.domain" path? What version of Office?

    Hmm well none of those are Mellanox but the 331 is Broadcom which are also known to cause problems I believe. When you validate the cluster, which nodes does it say can't talk to each other?
  8. ChrisMiles
    I get this problem too on our 3 server cluster with HP DL380 G9s. I think its due to bad drivers for the Melanox 10Gb nics in ours. What do you have in yours?

    Might seem daft but the deleted data isn't going into a recycle bin on the same drive is it?

    Just a heads up, but I found that starting with 1903, removing Edge from our base image as we've always done resulted in none of the monthly updates from installing but instead erroring out, even when we downloaded and ran them manually. Not sure if others have had the same issue.

    VMs can be on a cluster node without being part of the cluster. Once you have it on the node, you can add it to the cluster from failover cluser manager by doing Configure Role > Virtual Machine
  12. ChrisMiles
    Yes from Hyper-V Manager. Live Migration only normally works in clusters with shared storage. You can do it between 2 hosts not in a cluster with ALOT of config, but not to one that is in a cluster.
  13. ChrisMiles
    You won't be able to do it while the server is online. You need to move it to a cluster node as a stand alone machine, then add it to the cluster afterwards: Shutdown the VM to be moved, right-click and Move, choose Move the virtual machine, enter the name of a cluster node (NOT the cluster), Move the virtual machine's data by selecting where to move the items, Move the virtual machine's items to different locations, select all, do the next few steps specifying the correct locations for all the different items on the CSV, when the VM has been moved, add it to the cluster.
  14. ChrisMiles
    Yeah this is quite a common requirement but unfortunately you cannot do it with group permissions. Another option is enabling message moderation, which is what we use for parent groups, but I realise this is too inconvenient for some types of group.

    Things barely change at all at my schools. I only made a new image this year because I need to update Windows 10 to one with ongoing support. I guess not everywhere is the same.
  16. ChrisMiles
    I've always been confused by this point of view. Struggling with apps that don't have MSIs, deployment speed, problems with people logging in when software hasn't finished installing, running out of disk space for app installers etc. Personally I've always found using VM snapshots to build images so much easier and only deploy apps with SCCM when building a new image isn't worthwhile, like for Chrome updates and software that only hits a couple of PCs etc.

    Could be filtering/firewall blocking traffic on your static IP. Also incorrect DNS settings or default gateway.

    I've been looking at solutions but so far theyre all pretty rubbish. I considered enabling account auditing and using the last event log entry for login to get the last date and a login script to just write the date/touch a file in the profile folder.
  19. ChrisMiles
    You can't store clustered VMs on local storage because not all hosts can access it. Remove the VM from the cluster and then move it in Hyper-V Manager. Or use something like Storage Spaces to make the storage available to all the nodes.

    Not sure if you guys are seeing the same thing, but my ntuser.ini has the same modified date as creation date, nearly a year ago despite logging in and out of my account every day.
  21. ChrisMiles
    Might not need saying, but be careful with this if you use powershell login scripts...
  22. ChrisMiles
    Not even SIMS.net is...

    Open Regedit, Select HKEY_USERS, Go File > Load Hive, Browse to "C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT", enter any unique name, under this new name change the registry key you wish to change, select your unique name, File > Unload Hive. Open System Properties > Advanced > User Profiles, delete user profile for kiosk account. Any new user that logs in will now have that registry value set.

    What would they do with Python that they couldn't do anyway? If they have permission to do something that you wouldn't want them doing then address that instead. If it's anything like here, they can barely write code to display text and read text responses.
  25. ChrisMiles
    Yes that should be all thats needed. No VLANs, no config at all should really be needed.
