How to create mandatory profiles in Windows 10 Creators Update (1703) - HTG | Howell Technology Group

I managed to get it working in the end, followed the rankin guide but when copying the proifle don't tick the box for mandatory profile, it messes up permissions. I just need to try and figure out how to stop the welcome page popping up each time, tried a few methods none of which have worked.

Using 1703 and followed the guide earlier but I am having the same issue where edge pops up and then vanishes again straight after

Hi Did you ever resolve this issue? I am having the same problem myself. Regards

Hi Jon Our version says AP5-FHD_r1.0.0028, what version is yours after the firmware update? Regards

Hi All We are having numerous issues with our Windows 7 x64 computers and the new Promethean ActivPanel. We are finding that the main display keeps shifting to the Promethean panel and not the PC Monitor. We have tried swapping the cables round and setting the main display as the monitor and this works for awhile but when the machine is changed to extend or sometimes when it is turned on it shifts back randomly. Also, sometimes the screen adjust on the promethean is about a foot shifted to the right so the pen is also off and the screen is not displayed correctly. We have updated drivers, tried different orders of booting the screen and the machine but eventually one of these issues will always appear. This is on different machines around the academy and is happening about ten times a day! Any Ideas? Regards

Hi We are currently having issues with SCUP, we use patchmypc to publish updates to sccm and then deploy this out to client stations. The clients download the update but never seem to attempt to install the update. If I run the update manually it works fine. I can't find any errors in the logs, any ideas what could be the issue? Regards

Have you removed and re-attached the disk? and is it set to normal not immutable?

Hi You need to go into Virtual Media Manager and release and delete the differencing vdi. Then change the disk to normal make the changes you wish. You then change the disk back to immutable after that and it will be remembered. Unfortunately you will probably lose the changes you have already made. If you change the disk to normal whilst the differencing disk is still attached it will always revert back to that. Regards

I now have this working, but any idea how this could be set so it also works when scanning the document and printing

Hi All Trying to create a script that limits the number of copies a student can print, I have amended the number of pages script to try and achieve this but it doesn;t seem to work. Has any of the Papercut gurus got any idea why it is not doing anything. /* * Cancel large print jobs sent by students * * Members of the Students group are only allowed to print up to 100 pages. Jobs * larger than this will be canceled with a notification. This recipe demonstrates * group-level restrictions. */ function printJobHook(inputs, actions) { var RESTRICTED_GROUP = 'Students'; var COPY_LIMIT = '3'; /* * This script needs to check the number of pages in the job, so return here * unless job analysis is complete. The only job details that are available * before analysis are metadata such as username, printer name, and date. * * See reference documentation for full explanation. */ if (!inputs.job.isAnalysisComplete) { // No job details yet so return. return; } /* * If the user belongs to the disallowed group and the job has more pages than * the limit, cancel the job and send a notification (if they are running the * client software). */ if (inputs.user.isInGroup(RESTRICTED_GROUP)) { if (inputs.job.copies > COPY_LIMIT) { // in the restricted group and printing over the limit, cancel the job actions.job.cancelAndLog('Not allowed to print more than ' + COPY_LIMIT + ' copies.'); // send message to the user's client tool actions.client.sendMessage('Your print job has been canceled because the ' + 'number of copies (' + inputs.job.copies + ') was more than the maximum allowed (' + COPY_LIMIT + ')'); // log a message for debugging actions.log.debug('Canceling job from user ' + inputs.job.username + ' in ' + RESTRICTED_GROUP + ' group because the number of copies (' + inputs.job.copies + ') was more than the maximum allowed (' + COPY_LIMIT + ')'); } } } Regards

Hi Peter Have you had any issues with the performance of Visual Studio on the Virtual Box. Regards

Hi All We currently use Virtualbox for running our programming software but have big performance issues when running software such as Visual Studio. What spec machines are you generally running the software on and what sort of ram are you giving the virtual machines? Regards

Hi Could I ask what spec you are giving the virtual machine, as we are having performance issues when running Visual Studio. Regards

We are still using the same version of VBox and have not changed any of the settings. This has happened to every machine (160) at the same time which doesn't make sense.

Hi We originally set this up with a MAK key but weirdly the image on every single PC has now lost its activation. Does it expire if there is no access to the Internet after a year? Regards

Hi All We have been using this fine now for over a year but unfortunately Windows on the virtual box image now requires activation on every single PC. Mapping of the user drive fails whilst Windows needs activation. Anyway to setup our virtual image so that the activation doesn't expire? Regards

"Prevent running First Run wizard" is the GPO that causes the issue with IE not running

I have also tried recreating the mandatory profile and we still get same issue after 2nd logon. Suggests there is a group policy issue

Cheers for the help Tom. I have setting redirection to not configured and the exact same thing happens as if the appdata was redirected. Regards

It is like the first login it creates appdata fine and works and every login on that machine afterwards it reverts to a local app data as the 3 taskbar icons that appear are in appdata on the local machine. Checked event logs and it is saying folder redirection for appdata applying successfully.

We re redirecting appdata to a network folder and this gets created fine on the first logon. I have just tried the exclude rule with appdata and doesn't seem to have an impact. We are assigning the policy on a per user basis. Maybe there is an issue with our profile just strange first login works all fine then every login after that get all the issues. Regards

Hi, the user has the permissions needed to read the profile. Its almost like the second logon it uses a local appdata instead of the redirected one as taskbar shortcuts appear on the second logon. As soon as I add Prevent running First Run wizard via group policy I.E no longer runs for a user with a mandatory profile. Regards

Hi All We have decided to move pupils over to mandatory profiles but are getting some strange issues. First logon on machine everything works fine but every time after that we get an error with antivirus not starting and I.E. won't start at all when we try to run it. Any ideas why first logon would be fine but every other logon after that has the above issues? Regards
