It was a few years ago, but we provided dedicated accounts for them to do their coursework for the exam, then locked down the accounts during the exam. They saved the work to a mapped drive, not to 365, and used the desktop version of Office.

So it's failing once you boot into full Windows? Could it be the Windows network drivers aren't installing? You should be able to restart the machine and log on with a local account and check drivers. As the TS works with other models it's not an app issue.

There is a free third party app called TSGui. I used it extensively to set up a screen at PXE boot with drop downs that linked to OUs. I then used the variables created to put unknown machines into the correct OU and assign the appropriate software.

I've used YouTube in the past successfully. Upload as a private video, use the edit feature to blur the faces - it uses facial recognition, so you can select the faces to leave in the clear, then download the editted video and delete from YouTube.

does this help? https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/New-line-in-email-body/m-p/168363#M56457

I used that method to limit what appears when you right click the start button. It's certainly worth testing. Another route could be to find out what registry changes happen when the tick boxes are cleared, and push them by GPO. The settings are recorded somewhere, be it registry or ini file - it's just a case of finding where and using a GPO to replicate it.

Find out where the folders are and use a GPO to set them as read only and hidden.

Have you redistributed the application once you updated the file?

OK, on the SIMS server, go to computer management, shared Folders, Open Files. Find the pdf in the list, highlight, right click, Close File.

I raised a call about this with ESS because all staff were getting an outdated pdf every time I updated SIMS. I was advised to simply rename the S:\SIMS\documentation folder. As most staff didn't notice it was a 2019 document I doubt it was being read.

I have the below to tweak permissions on sharepoint items - you might be able to adapt it:

We have a power off script run every night, so I would expect machines in use to have been powered up this morning

Not sure it is - I have machines I know are currently in use, with a modified date in AD over 2 weeks ago.

Further to this, running the script manually, rather than via SCCM, .\image\Installer.exe -i deploy --offline_mode -q -o .\image\Collection.xml --installer_version "1.40.0.24" fails .\image\Installer.exe" -i deploy --offline_mode --ui_mode basic -o .\image\Collection.xml --installer_version "1.40.0.24" works Now to test it within a deployment

Can you expand on how I can do this?

Has anyone successfully deployed this with SCCM? I've downloaded a distribution package, complete with batch file, rem'd out all but the silent install and imported the application into SCCM. I've tried: 1. reproduce the command line in the bat file and add that as a switch to installer.exe - this failed - I think because the referenced collection.xml points to the network share, not to the ccmcache folder 2. edited the collection.xml to point to "the current folder" 3. Moved the bat file into a different folder and created an application around that, running the install from the server. 4. Created a package rather than an application So far nothing has worked. Any ideas? Edited to correct name of xml file

Oh, good idea - I'll look into that

Our internal domain was set up on the same domain name as our public web site. We have an A Host entry in DNS to point http://www.domain name to the IP of the website, and a host file that directs client machines to the IP if they miss the www, and that works well internally. However, machines connecting via direct access can't access the web site. If they ping http://www.domain a IPv6 address is returned. Any idea where I start with this?

We use powershell in a scheduled task: Enable accounts: Get-ADUser -Filter 'Name -like "*"' -SearchBase " | Enable-ADAccount Disable accounts Get-ADUser -Filter 'Name -like "*"' -SearchBase " | Disable-ADAccount

Our wonderful Exams Officer refused to send unencrypted USB drives. The exam board allowed us to encrypt.

One of our Trust schools are reporting the issue. I've not seen anything here as yet.

Unfortunately we don't have sufficient Adobe licences to allocate licences specifically for exams, separate to the day to day adobe licenses. We can log them onto the computer with locked down accounts, configured to only allow adobe log on, but they will need to sign into adobe as their usual user.

How do you go about running Art exams when the regulations say no Internet access, but they need to log onto Adobe to use photoshop? We've managed to block all of the Internet bar the Adobe sites that allow log on, but we can't stop them from accessing the Adobe cloud - obviously we can't allow students to save files into the cloud that they can access outside of the controlled assessment windows. So, how do I turn off access to Adobe cloud, while still letting them log onto Adobe?

Have a look in User Config - Policies - Admin Templates - System - Don't run specified Windows applications. I've got cmd.exe and powershell_ide.exe in there, amongst others. I also have Restrict these programs from being launched from help, with cmd.exe in there.
