Would subscription based activation not be the best way forward, as long as all your users have A3 licence https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-subscription-activation?pivots=windows-11

Have you enabled Files on Demand? that might have something to do with it if it's not. Also, something I came across last week, if you migrate Documents to Onedrive any user that use PowerShell might see a slow down in performance as PowerShell modules are saved in Documents, which is stored in OneDrive. I had to get Documents stored on my laptop locally for PowerShell to work as it should.

I've just had to do this exact thing on 4 AD's to one O365 tenant. Here is the PowerShell script I use to export the UPN and ImmutableID for users in an OU, then from the csv file I update the ImmutableID on the existing user in O365. After that is done I enable the AD Sync and the users matched and updated rather than create new users. I had to make sure that the UPN was the same on the AD users as the AAD users for this to work. ###### Generate Immutableid ######### $reportoutput=@() $users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties * -SearchBase "OU=,DC=,DC=" $users | Foreach-Object { $user = $_ $immutableid = [system.Convert]::ToBase64String($user.ObjectGUID.tobytearray()) $report = New-Object -TypeName PSObject $report | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'DisplayName' -Value $user.DisplayName $report | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'UserPrincipalName' -Value $user.UserPrincipalName $report | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'ImmutableID' -Value $immutableid Write-Host ('INFO: The following user {0} has the Immutable of {1}' -f $user.name,$immutableid) $reportoutput += $report } # Report $reportoutput | Export-Csv -Path $env:USERPROFILE\desktop\immutableid.csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8 ###### Update msol users ######## $csv1 = Import-Csv -Path $env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\immutableid.csv Connect-MsolService #endregion Start-Transcript $env:USERPROFILE\desktop\PilotUser.csv foreach($user in $csv1){ #Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName $user.UserPrincipalName -NewUserPrincipalName $user.NewUserPrincipalName Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $user.UserPrincipalName -ImmutableID $user.ImmutableID #Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName $user.NewUserPrincipalName -NewUserPrincipalName $user.UserPrincipalName Write-Host $user.DisplayName,"with userPrincipalName"$user.UserPrincipalName," has been set with ImmutableID",$user.ImmutableID } Stop-Transcript

How about creating dynamic groups and then creating the team from that group? Then you can populate the groups based on certain criteria which in turn will populate your teams.

I discovered 2 extra USB-C ports next to a 12V port in the center of the back footwell for passengers to use after 2 years of never opening the compartment as I didn't know it was there. That takes my compliment of USB-C ports up to 5 in the car now, 3 in the front and 2 in the back. Mercedes GLC. I also recently discovered that there's an option to enable a function of the front camera to turn on when you pull up to traffic lights to show you the lights, for some reason you don't have to look out of the car to watch the traffic lights change, the most pointless feature i've ever seen.

I have to agree with Fox, SharePoint Migration Tool is the thing for the job. I have been involved in migrating departmental data to SharePoint libraries from multiple schools using it.

Office 365 shared calendar for staff - where to begin? #0365 #calendar
dezt replied to kennysarmy's topic in Cloud Services
How about creating a Staff Team in Teams and adding all staff to the Team, they can then access the calendar from Teams or through Outlook as a shared calendar. -

I have used this process to get the hardware hash without setting up windows, it takes a few minutes but saves time on installing windows and then running the powershell script. https://www.thelazyadministrator.com/2020/01/27/get-a-new-computers-auto-pilot-hash-without-going-through-the-out-of-box-experience-oobe/

Another vote for UniFi, great for Primaries

I played on Sunday, managed to win out of the 4 of us again so must be doing something right. I'd be tempted to get lessons now and then practice at the driving range or even play a bit during the winter, if you get lessons spring time you will be trying to correct the bad habbits you've picked up, especially if you're playing 2 - 3 times a week. A mate of mine is struggling after 5 years of playing as he's finally gone for lessons and is getting everything corrected and he finds it all strange. Oh, and if you do play over the winter i recommend getting something like this to protect the fairways. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Callaway-Launch-Zone-Golf-Hitting/dp/B002CACMR0/ref=asc_df_B002CACMR0/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309947835595&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13045535770743752108&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046585&hvtargid=pla-387206382652&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

I took up golf last year and have had a few 1-1 lessons, best thing I could have done. I'm not the best in the world by a long shot, but I do play every weekend as a few of my mates and I have joined a club. I know how frustrating it is, i've almost binned my clubs a few times after awful rounds. One thing that I have learn't from my lessons is, don't try and smash the ball as hard as you can, i've tried and sliced it into the woods many a time from the tee and lost multiple balls, the golf pro told me to take my time, start off by hitting the ball straight so it lands on the fairway and then you can introduce more power when you have the control. We play stableford golf, and, as my mates have taken pity on me with the handicap scoring i have won one round out of the 12 i've played so far.

Hi Gary, just a heads up, SDS is due to start adding Team creation back in soon. Also the csv files will be changing from v1 format to v2 format, I think you will be able to still use v1 but according to Microsoft they prefer you use v2. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/education-blog/9-awesome-teams-updates-for-it-admins-and-back-to-school/ba-p/1537468

I've emailed Mercian and they've told me the 2 places to look for a serial number, the bike does appear to be quite old as some of the parts have come back from google as being from the 70's, such as the brakes below. MAFAC Dural Forge brakes.
-
So, i've just bought a new house with my wife and we have found an old looking bike in the garage and I was wondering if anyone here had any knowledge of old bikes. From the paint job it looks like a Mercian Olympique, it has a Campagnolo front derailleur which looks old. I have managed to find one serial number on the bottom of the bike which has Nervex written above it, but I can't see any others. From the photos does anyone have any ideas if it is what it looks like, or where I might find any other serial numbers?

I ran this in Powershell ISE as admin, it also clears out the custom photos that have been uploaded by students. You need a group in Office 365 called All_Students that contains all your students, but you can do that in local Ad, sync it up using AADConnect and then delete it when you have finished.

@Tefters i'm in the same situation as you where I will need 2 of the fibre switches to be used as a core switch, I was thinking of linking the 2 switches through the RJ45 ports as they are 10Gb as well. It would be a lot easier if the switches supported stacking though. Would you think about having a HP core out to Ubiquiti switches on the edge? I've got to try and keep costs down otherwise it would be HPE throughout.
-
I thought that was the case on those, anybody using the ES-16-XG as a core switch? 12 x 10Gb SFP+, 4 x 10Gb RJ45 ports. Layer 3 features, looks almost too good to be true.
-
@Davit2005 i'm looking at the ES-16-XG for a core switch, ideally I would like 2 for redundancy, so each edge switch will have a fibre link back to both core switches. Would this be something that could be done do you think?
-
Is anyone out there using Ubiquiti for all switches including the core? I am currently looking at using the edgeswitch range for everything and wondered if anyone was using any of those as they support layer 3. Could the Unifi Gen 2 Pro switches be used for a Core switch, or am I just better off getting something like a HP core and unifi for the rest?
-
I've got a project coming up where I'll be removing some very old EoL Cisco switches and was looking at replacing them with Ubiquiti EdgeMax switches and using the EdgeSwitch 16XG for the core switch as all the other links are fibre and will connect back to this. I was thinking of maybe using 2 of these switches with links from all edge switches going back to both so in the event of a core switch failure the other would still provide access. Has anyone out there used Ubiquiti's EdgeSwitch range for this sort of project? Does anyone run a complete Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch infrastructure?

Met Prince Philip when I got my Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. Was presented with it by Jon Culshaw. Keith Chegwin opened a nightclub I was in many moons ago. I once had to go in Phil Neville's house to his study to fix his computer when he played for Manchester Utd, was made to take my shoes off at the front door and walk through in my socks, glad they didn't have holes in.

I have managed to get it working as a user policy, took a lot of testing and patience. From what I can tell so far, as long as the profile is on the desktop (local profile) then it only needs to do the mapping once, i've tested it with a desktop rebooting and logging off and back on and the Teams documents are still there.
-
I've managed to get it working through GPO, it does take a while to sync the libraries, but it finally did it for me. I used the script mentioned earlier to get the library ID and then ran the powershell command on the Microsoft Document for using GPO and OneDrive Client which gets rid of all the % characters. [uri]::UnescapeDataString("Copied String")

I've got one of these, and after a recent accident I can say it's the best money i've spent, especially when the other driver drove away and didn't stop. https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/587334
