Using Applocker to Block Microsoft Store
slugshead replied to Gongalong's topic in Windows Server 2019
Don't block the MS store. Whilst you still can, just set up the store for business and don't approve anything, or just what you need, onenote, whiteboard etc. The store app is required for lots of the builtin things to update. Calculator, whiteboard etc... Use applocker to restrict access to the appx packages rather than remove them too -
What do you recommend - Cloud based Library software.

They used to get contracted for a lot of work where I currently am. Interesting that they're recruiting for a school as they are MSP through and through -
The battery pack (Mod) I'm using, has a door to remove the batteries to put hem in a charger. https://www.vapeclub.co.uk/vape-mods/geekvape/aegis-legend-200w The tank (bit with the coil and the bit you put juice in) screws into that.

We've got a fleet of Ricoh's across our campus. Got them with papercut and works without a hitch. They've also given us a small box that collects the printer stats and sends them over to Ricoh, they post replacement toners and you post empties back (4 at a time, prepaid labels from the portal). Copiers self report issues and engineers do randomly appear to look at the faults which the devices auto report.

slugshead replied to Andycat's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
It's not going to be supported beyond server 2019, which is in extended support until 2029, I'm okay with that -

I'm still running DA, literally no reason to go to always on yet. -

Windows Fader Control / Simple Mixer
slugshead replied to Gongalong's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
That's exactly it. Connect the mixer via USB (have to check that you actually get a usb one), that then becomes the computers sound card. Plug your speakers/external mics into it and you can mix it all with your physical faders. Some are twist, some up and down slide. gear4music and pmt online both offer education discount and stock a huge array of kit. PMT are definitely worth calling and speaking to if you're looking for the right kit, they've got some really knowledgeable guys working for them -

You're looking for what's called an audio interface. Zubzero/Behringer makes some cheap ones which will fit the bill. -
SCCM Task Sequence vs. Removing Windows Store
slugshead replied to Gongalong's topic in Enterprise Software
Keep the store, you need it for random things like the calculator or hte whiteboard app to work. Don't do the appx remove package thing, just block access in Applocker to each app. what I did was setup the store for business too and only approve things like the whiteboard and onenote. If anyone gets in there, all they can do is install those two apps. -
Sounds about right!! I had a similar one, SSDs have to be worse because they have less gigabytes!

Since the minimum is 16 core OM4, why not get ahead of the game and run single mode? The cost difference is negligible and you can do 40gb/100gb at distances over 150 meters....

Shouldn't be using web browsers at all on servers. There's a reason it's all set to restricted and every domain untrusted as default.....

Prowise here We've done all our classrooms on campus with them. Even got a few bigun's on wheels in our rooms we use for conferences and such. They have OPS slots in them and the OPS modules from VeryPC work a treat -

I say we manage our own private cloud, it's just your regular hypervisor setup with a SAN As long as it says cloud somewhere, management are happy.

ProWise board "Installing Default Apps" loop
slugshead replied to markmdh's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
I'd reflash it with newer firmware, load it on a USB, stick it in and reboot and it automatically does the rest. You can get more options by using the code on the remote, i think there's a firmware roll back option in there too along with more diagnostics middle button, left ,right, up, down middle button -
I went with the following specs i7-7700 16GB memory 500GB NVMe + 1 TB SSD for scratch disks GTX 1070 4K displays That was in 2017 though. They've been rock solid and performance has been great, had lots of praise from the teach for fast render times which has sped up lessons dramatically. When they're up for replacement, I'll be getting a similar setup but with more modern components. edit: Due to the spec we've been able to explore virtual reality, blender and some pretty decent autoCAD modelling. Which if we didn't go for a spec that high I doubt we would have been able to do.
