Look at the surface 3, decent battery life, you can get a nice snap on keyboard and it comes with office too along with 200gb of one drive space - well ours did.

It's not actually that bad or different if you look past the surface. It also did not come from nowhere but rather a bunch of studies into how many people actually work with computers. Sure they went a little overboard with some things but it still has a bunch more ui sense than your average apple product in most cases. At least they bothered with tutorials and instructions as opposed to apples look it up on youtube approach as they refuse to document it. Saying that Windows 9s new activation method may put me off, I have machines that never touch the,net for months at a time that simply won't work like that. All the searching and shortcutting had also better be there as going back to Windows 7 would drive me mad given the UI now, I used 95s UI for decades with the other windows versions and it is junk for high res screens and scaling dpi. Now it can be a tablet to, they just need to give people a choice rather than this apple we know nest BS they have been pulling.

Good to hear -
Surely that is monologue unless you are casting aspersions
-
can't you just use command line switches on the exe's used to be able to use /x or /extract to get the MSPs out unless they have (likely) changed it in their hostile driving of people towards SCCM as the only viable method.

Straying into dangerous water maybe but your views are certainly coloured heavily by that, the training itself is designed to break down individual thinking, defer to those above you, have faith they are doing the right thing and to possibly put your life on the line with that assumption. While I am glad that there are people who can and will do that it can heavily alter your point of view in such matters which may be taken advantage of by certain far less honourable parties (political ones) for their own ends. -

But what they are after is not the means to do it as they already do, what they are after is the acceptance of the public in law so they can't be hung out to dry if the populace ever does manage to get a little control back over their governments. They want us people to say by default and lack of careing or voices that are heard to pat them on the back and say 'yea, go to it'. -

And this is why democracy fails, it is already at the point that the government does whatever it pleases and there is no recourse, just a choice as to the figurehead doing what a very few people tell them to do. -
Remoteapp is an extension of terminal services server that allows you to offer an icon to a user to run a specific app remotely and windowed just like a normal app but running on a server at the Mai site. It sounds odd that your system still works if you have changed isps and presumably external ips. I can only assume you have some hardware or a server at either end doing vpn that use external dns names to resolve the ips. Maybe a cisco router at each end or Isa server in site to site vpn mode unless the school has the fttc connection simply tuning between the two sites and then another or a partitioned vlan on the main site link that goes to the internet.
-
Long term fix could be setting up remoteapp on a server at the main site so it runs there and is controlled offsite. Do you have line of site between the sites, I'd be looking for any vpn systems or at bills for virtual private circuits from your providers.

What worries me more is that their companies end up bribing their way through their governments strong arming to rewrite laws in other countries like Australia and New Zealand. They need to stop letting their corporations bully everyone including their own citizens with the laws meant to protect them.

Nice, had not caught up with that, way more efficient than expected.
-
I think power efficiency was also mentioned so a dual gpu, dual cpu plus external raid does not fit any of the criteria other than powerful for virtualization.

Ick, the company that makes software take gigs of storage for a simple config utility and the company that makes ui for people who have trouble working crayons. Is this the introduction to Idiocrocy in real life.

Look at the VMware virtual switch and whatever switch it is connected to, is there any form of broadcast filtering or prevention switched on, if there is everything but the initial PXE and DHCP (if it is on the same VM) would work but the those two require reception of a broadcast from the client, you may need to turn on a DHCP helper address or something in your external switch to convert those broadcasts into unicasts so that they get through.

POTUS says no, wasn't it great when countries at least pretended to care about jurisdiction. Obama administration says the world

Does it work just using the wizard rather than any script just to rule out an os/driver/bios mis-configuration and have you run any bios/tpm firmware updates available.

Umm, big data, data mining, profiling... seriously google does this already with much more legally limited information for the chance of a few cents worth of click through revenue, stores with even less information willingly provided by shoppers can dig out secrets accidentally How Target Figured Out A Teen Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did - Forbes These companies have a few people after a little more coin writing algorithms to find patterns and correlations with limited data. They do this because as you say there is so much data going through it would be impossible by hand. This is all over a purchase or two, now think about the insane budgets and resources governments can pull in (academics and the like) along with the amount of impunity and information they have access to. Think about their goals, not just a few dollars but maybe a few lives or more likely the perpetuation of their own system. They are not going to sit around and wait till inspector plod from the corner police box reports that little Jimmy from number nine might be staying up past his bed time a bit too often. They will have teams of people working on software and profiles to smash through all that data as fast as possible looking for any little anomalies that may raise a flag. One you get flaged you get put on a list and then get data mined a bunch more along with possible heavy handed investigation... Remember at this point when they are tapping all your communications and rifling through your trash you may not have done anything wrong, just searched the same kind of stuff that someone else did before something bad happened. Where does that stop, 'think of the children etc.', safer streets, how about flagging up violent speech (which they can) and certain searches so the police can monitor people who might assault someone - might be ok - but wait, there are too many people and waiting around takes time, we'll just pre-crime it. They were going to do this, statistically proven to within 80% or so, oh look more efficient policing and safer streets. Served up slow enough and in the right way there are a lot of people who would go for that which is terrifying. The above example is a little extreme but not far off if people don't start standing up to a bunch of governments who care a lot more about keeping themselves in power than the people they supposedly represent. Democracy was nice while it lasted but I don't think I could point to any country anymore where the will of the citizens is carried out. -
Does the TPM show up properly in hardware manager, do you need to integrate the driver into it. What happens if you resume protection? this should write the key back to the TPM or drop an error which may shed more light, if it will enable it may just be another command to resume protection at the end of the sequence.

Use the "choose your country or reigon" link at the bottom of the enroll page to set your reigon then you should get the right options: https://deploy.apple.com/qforms/open/register/index/avs More retarded UI from Apple

Wasn't this attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels, either him or from Orwell's vision of a dystopian future. Neither of these sources make it a very good talking point to just let this kind of law slide. http://forum.quoteland.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/99191541/m/4013910277 -
Yes, some bios s require this before any security features can be messed with like the hp ones. If you are doing it manually then you can get around this because the wizard prompts you to accept at boot time which does not require a bios password but that defeats the whole automation thing. As to that hp has the hp BCU http://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HP_BCU.html and Dell has their variation but if you can get the BIOS settings right beforehand this should not be required. You could however use WMI to grab the manufacturer as part of your task sequence then automate the bios config for those that you can, you can even update them programmatically but this is a tad more dangerous depending on your build environment.
