so far we have noticed this on HP 260 G3 DM and HP ProDesk 400 G5

Hi all, We have noticed that several of our HP computers have been running very sluggishly recently. It is unclear if this is related to a recent update or a hardware issue, and because it is only affecting certain HP machines, it has been difficult to pinpoint the cause. Has anyone experienced a similar issue following recent updates? Any insights would be appreciated so we can identify the root cause. Thanks

Hi all, We’re currently using RealSmart to provision both Google and Active Directory (AD) accounts. We also have Entra set up, with AD accounts syncing to Entra for a small number of Entra joined devices (with the goal of having most devices joined by the end of the year). The main issue we’re facing is that users currently have two different passwords. We’d like to move to a unified password solution, especially considering that we expect to no longer need on-prem AD in the next few years. We’re a Google based school, so Microsoft Entra isn’t fully deployed just basic for Intune. Has anyone faced a similar situation or implemented a solution that worked well either in a previous role or currently? Thanks in advance.

Hi all All our machines is currently on windows 11, but i have 1 machine where we have some softwares which we dont wish to lose so wondering if there is a route to upgrade this setup to windows 11? Maybe Windows LTSC to LTSB first then upgrade to win 11? Any ideas?

Hi all We have imac suite and each mac is linked to our QNAP drive where students save their logic files there. Issue we are having is students are deleting files and folders now and its impacting teachers when they locate to mark the files I have 1 queries 1) Can we restrict so they cant delete? its not linked to AD so not sure if this is possible? 2) Can we backup the Qnap to Redstor? So should students do delete its recoverable I do need to look at longer term solution for this setup as we move to cloud i do want to move away from NAS drive storage but my assumption is this was created so staff can access students work
