I visited the UniFi stand at BETT this year and noticed they had a distributor assisting them with queries. Unfortunately, I can't recall the name of the company. Does anyone happen to know who it was? Alternatively, for those currently using UniFi, which suppliers or installers do you recommend? We are looking to go through a certified partner rather than buying direct. Thanks in advance!

Windows Server 2025 DCs / Trust Relationship Issues for PCs
Jaan replied to SKELTON's topic in Windows Server 2025
I have just booked ourselves a ticket to do this update and wanted to check if this was still a issue..... my understanding was as long as any DCs were on the same server version you were good to go? I guess that isn't the case -
Hi everyone, Not sure if this is old news, but we recently ran into a massive disk space crisis across our client machines. Cumulative Updates started failing, and we were getting flooded with low disk space alerts. We have small 240GB SSDs on our machines, but we've never had a space issue until now because we use a "Delete user profiles older than X days" GPO. However, when I went down the rabbit hole to see what was eating up the drives, I found a massive weight.bin file tucked away inside the AppData folder of almost every single student profile. Because this is a shared environment, some PCs had up to 50 different student profiles on them—each with its own 4GB weight.bin file. That's 200GB of completely wasted space on a single machine! To make matters worse, the folder path where Google is burying this file is so long that it's hitting Windows character limits, which seems to be breaking our profile deletion GPOs and PDQ cleanup scripts. For reference, this seems to be related to Chrome's built-in Gemini/AI features ("Optimization Guide" or "Optimization Targets"). There are a few threads popping up about this "naughty" behavior online: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_uYSqdIVM0 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/1t58qu2/why_is_google_chrome_downloading_a_4gb_ai_file_to/ Medium: https://medium.com/@sathishkraju/chrome-quietly-installed-a-4-gb-ai-model-on-your-computer-you-didnt-ask-you-can-t-keep-it-off-75ce6e305b17 Google Support: https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/431316465/why-does-google-chrome-install-4gb-ai-on-my-pc-without-asking?hl=en-GB My questions for the community: Has anyone else hit this issue in a shared/educational environment? Can I safely nuke these files via a script without breaking Chrome entirely? Most importantly, how do we block Chrome from downloading this model via GPO? (I've looked into disabling the "Optimization Guide" or Gemini features, but wanted to see if anyone has a verified, working registry fix or ADMX policy). Any advice or shared pain would be greatly appreciated! Here's a screenshot of the location in question.

Hi everyone, With Microsoft pushing hard on Windows Protected Print (WPP) to modernise the Windows print spooler architecture and mitigate legacy print vulnerabilities, I’m looking into what the migration path looks like for our environment. We currently rely heavily on PaperCut for our print management (Find-Me printing, tracking, and secure release). I know PaperCut published a comprehensive guide on WPP (https://www.papercut.com/discover/the-complete-guide-to-windows-protected-print-wpp/), but I wanted to check in here and see if anyone has actually started testing or deploying WPP alongside PaperCut in production or a staging lab yet? Specifically, I'm curious about a few things: Compatibility & Reliability: Have you run into any quirks with PaperCut tracking, hardware checking, or secure release when enforcing WPP on Windows 11? Find-Me Printing: How are you handling queue redirection/Find-Me workflows with WPP’s strict Driverless/IPP-only requirements? End-User Experience: Did your users notice any disruption during the transition? If you’ve already taken the plunge or are actively testing this setup, I’d love to hear your thoughts, lessons learned, or any gotchas we should watch out for. Cheers in advance!

Our approach to TeamViewer was quite similar; we simply toggled the application control in our firewall to allow external support for the finance team as needed, and then switched it off again once they were finished. They (the 3rd party) had to connect us via email for pre approval and we confirmed this with the staff member that needed support.

Jaan replied to TwistedHelixis's topic in How do you do....it?
I've just discovered MS V3 ADMX templates for 25h2 that has a "secureboot.admx" gpo https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=108542 -
I thought it was great also. Thinks there's another on to be released soon.
