See the script below. I just added it in the software library/scripts section of SCCM then just run it on affected machines each month. Even if it says password rotation for machine failed after running on affected machine just reboot the affected machine and you will see it worked fine. I personally don't think 25h2 fixes anything but reimaging an affected machine does. Unfortunately in my scenario I just don't have time ATM to reimage the affected machines some of which have a few extra apps to install after reimaging so I will just run the script for now as I am building a new image and will reimage all machines later... try { Write-Host "Starting machine password rotation..." Write-Host "Running as: $(whoami)" # Define credentials (plain text password converted to SecureString) $Username = "domain\username" # Replace with your delegated account $Password = ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force $Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($Username, $Password) # Specify a domain controller explicitly $DomainController = "test.domain.internal" # Replace with your DC name # Reset the machine account password using provided credentials Reset-ComputerMachinePassword -Server $DomainController -Credential $Cred -Verbose # Verify secure channel if (Test-ComputerSecureChannel) { Write-Host "Machine password successfully rotated." Exit 0 } else { Write-Host "Password rotation failed: Secure channel test failed." Exit 1 } } catch { Write-Host "Error rotating machine password: $($_.Exception.Message)" Exit 1 }

Hi there your not alone with this. We had a 2019 and a 2025 DC and issues with group policy not applying so in the end to resolve the group policy issues we upgraded the 2019 DC to 2025 and that sorted it but to this day we are still finding some machines do not rotate machine password and therefore loose trust with the domain thus I am having to run a script on these machines monthly to rotate the passwords manually. Even if it has already lost trust with the domain it still works and saves a trip to the machine re-joining manually...

Hi all I am looking to lock down my Intune devices so that only users in a specific Azure AD group can logon to Intune managed devices. Has anyone achieved this as I have spent days looking into how this can be done but have yet to find a way that works...

I also suspect the 2025 DC, absolute disgrace Microsoft have not yet sorted out these issues. I am not confident that the August 2025 Cumulative update will resolve either...

Hi all We are seeing a strange issue on our machines most of which are running Windows 11 Education 24h2. Every now and again a user will try to login and it will state the username and password are incorrect however after a reboot they login fine. While we do have some machines still on 23h2 we have only seen this issue on the ones running 24h2. We have 2 domain controllers one 2019 and one 2025 and both DC's have the July Cumulative update installed on them...

Morning all I am currently setting up Intune to deploy some new staff laptops and need to hide the Music and Videos folders as they are not synced to OneDrive. How is everyone else doing this as I tried the "Disable known folders (user)" setting which is not working as it is not designed to work for folders that are already created? Thanks in advance

Hi all, I am currently in the process of setting up Intune to deploy some new staff laptops. I think I am 90% of the way there now however I am unsure how best to configure our wireless network for these devices which may at times be shared. Are other schools using some level of RADIUS authentication here of just a flat WiFi network. If anyone would be available for a quick chat please PM me and we can exchange numbers. We have a BYOD SSID using RADIUS authentication but I don't want to be faffing about every time a laptops is borrowed or swapped forgetting the SSID because it is logged in as the last person who used it...

Hi there I have a member of staff asking us to install the above software on her school laptop for marking exams over the Summer. Do other schools generally allow this or are there reasons we should not? We would potentially be holding data on our systems in relation to persons not connected to the school...

Hi all What is the general consensus when purchasing new machines these days is it worth paying extra for Ryzen Pro or vPro and is anyone aware of any DFE guidance that may specify a stance on this?

Issue has resolved itself. There was an issue syncing data between SIMS and Satchel One & SIMS NG, we assume this was causing the issue with us saving marks in SIMS 7 lesson monitor as once the sync issue had been sorted the lesson monitor issue disappeared.

Timeout value is currently set to 288000 which I assume is default as I don't remember ever changing over 17 years...

Unfortunately not, this has been an issue for a couple of days now. Odd it has come out of nowhere. The only change I can think has affected it would be the Spring 2025 update I did over the Easter break...
-
First thing we did was try a reboot but no luck. It seems to work when it wants and then just stop saving randomly. I have checked to make sure it is running low on resources and it isn't coming close to maxing out CPU or memory wise. It was getting low on disk space but I have expanded this as the SIMS server is a VM.

To be more specific it is Lesson Monitor they change a mark and click on save and the loading blue circle just whirs around continually and doesn't save...

Hi there Is anyone having issues with attendance when saving marks SIMS is crashing for us?
