We have updated from win 10 to win11 24h2. Certain apps such as Iris reach DigiDocs, when they are run display a big blue box that says 'This app has been blocked by your system administrator'. or apps that run from a network share display the same error. If you run these apps as an administrator then they will run. This suggests that something these application need to run is blocked to standard users. I have looked on process manager to see what the apps are trying to access to see if we can allow access for the user but in the case of DigiDocs it just seems to be the folder that contains the app and c:\windows\system32. Has anyone else had any difficulty with any of these non standard applications getting blocked for standard users.

We have recently created a new server to replace the one that was holding the license file for techsoft. Is their anyway of seeing if a pc is still pointing to the old server location or the new as when we turned the old server of some PC's were still looking for the old location and some where fine. Is their a reg key or something that would display where it is looking for the license? Thanks

Hi I'm trying to avoid having to manually install pack for Ableton I have been using the following script # Specify the path to the Ableton program folder $AbletonProgramPath = "C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 10 Suite\Program\Ableton Live 10 Suite.exe" # Check if the folder exists if (Test-Path -Path $AbletonProgramPath -PathType Container) { # Folder exists, so run the .alp file $AlpFilePath = "\\Servername\Abbleton$\Packs\OrchestralBrass_r46420_v9.0.alp" Start-Process -FilePath $AlpFilePath Write-Host "Running OrchestralBrass_r46420_v9.0.alp from network location." } else { Write-Host "Ableton program folder does not exist." } This script work fine if I run it directly from a device I want the pack installed, so I uploaded the script to Intune and applied it to a test group with a PC that has Ableton installed but its deleting the folder structure within C:\Programdata\Ableton\Live 10 Suite.

HI I hadn't realized that the install relied on accessing a file from a folder in the same location as the msi file. So whilst I've been testing the silent install version of the msi file on a test machine it couldnt access the required file. So all the editing of the msi had worked and when i created the intune app for it with the required files it pushed out without any errors. Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

Thanks. The Property table doesnt have INSTALLERLEVEL in it but the feature table had the options in it. the first feature had a level of 1 and the rest had a level of 1000. I changed all but database manager to 1 and now the list is how I would like it. However if I run the quiet install nothing happens so I still don't think is selecting Custom.

thats what I'm trying to do. but i'm struggling to figure out what to edit so that it will auto pick the custom option and then fill in the required options that you can see in the pictures i posted in my first post.

before the screens i have included in the screenshots their are a couple of other options that ask for a server address and port. I have already edited the MSI to include those. So I was hoping that a quiet install would just work and do a complete install instead of the preferred custom install but nothing seems to install at all when using the /quiet or /qn switches. My guess is that it fails at the point it wants to know what type (full install or custom install).

Hi I'm trying to make the install of a piece of software more straight forward and so that I can possibly automate the install. The MSI File has a couple of options which I'm struggling to figure out how I can make sure they get pre-selected by editing the file using orca. I was hoping someone on here may have more experience in using orca that might be able to help. I have attached 2 picture to try and help you see what I'm trying to select. First I'm trying to make the install automatically select Custom. Then I need it to be able to select everything to be installed to local hard drive except for the database manager option.

Thanks. I added ALLUSERS to the property table and it has worked

Hi I'm trying to edit an msi file so that instead of a radio button be pre selected for a 'just me' selection it will pre select the 'everyone' option. The options are selected via a radio button. In the properties table of the MSI, I have found a property named 'FolderForm_AllUsers' the value of this is 'ME'. if that value is changed then the 'just me' option is no longer pre selected but neither is the 'everyone' option. I've tried replacing the 'ME' value with the word 'EVERYONE' but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Has any one any experience with using orca that might be able to lend a hand?

Hi Does anyone have a good recommendation for good free video editing software for pupils to use. clip champs requires a buisness e3 licence rather that the a3 licence we have for education so I was wondering what could be used as an alternative.

sod law that after looking and looking I resolved it just after I posted the issue. I've now got to get it to select one of three buttons. 'Typical', 'Custom' or 'Complete'

Orca seems pretty good. I've managed to manipulate the installer to pre-check some boxes but I'm struggling on how to fill in text boxes that ask for the server name and the port number. Has anyone had any experience in this?

Thanks. I'll give it a go

has anyone managed to automate the install of PSF client side installs. PSFin_Client msi requires you to enter the server address and port and then we have to do a custom install that leaves out the database manger. Is it possible to to some how script this?

If anyone is interested. It turned out that windows defender suddenly after 13 years saw the netsupport client as malware and removed the client32 form the devices

I know that Netsupport 12 is out of date but it has been working fine for our needs up until this week. Does anyone know if their has been some sort of windows update that could have affected this. I reimaged a PC that had stopped showing in the tutor console and after the image had applied it appeared in the tutor console again but only up until windows updates where applied. After the updates net support doesn't show that its running in task Manager. I assume that the stock answer to this problem would be to update to the latest version of net support but if its possible to get this working again it would be helpful.

Hi We use outlook web app as part of office 365 for emails. Every morning a member of staff will send an email to all staff, this will work fine and people will reply and she can respond. However about half an hour to an hour later she will send another email to all staff but this time it will cause several members of staffs (but not all) browser to crash. Their isn't anything fancy in or attached to the email, its just plain text and different content every day. The problem will follow a user across different PC's that they log into. I have deleted the users profile and appdata and it still occurs. We have edge and chrome browser installed on users PC's and the problem occurs on both browsers. I installed Firefox for a user who was experiencing the issue and the problem didn't occur in that browser. Also if we change the reading pain to be at the bottom of the screen or off then the problem doesn't occur. so in a nut shell if a user opens the email in a chromium based browser with the reading pain in the default place then it crashes the browser. Has anyone experienced any thing like this or any suggestion as to what might be causing it? Thanks

Hi I'm having a similar issue. When some of our users start photoshop they get a message saying that "Sorry, something went wrong". our Pupil app data is redirected to another location and we have a script the deletes it every night. SO when the pupils log in their app data is clean. however the only fix I've managed to find to get the students on is to manually delete the Photoshop folder from their appdata even though it has just been created. obviously this isn't a great fix as it requires me to do this when ever the error occurs. our app data has always been redirect and photoshop has been working fine for several years. This problem has only started recently. Di you manage to find a solution to your problem

We've had issues with the screen backlightwith these Geobooks. Also had a few where the screen has been damaged buy the user. Does anyone know where to get a replacement screen for these devices?

Hi We have been heavily relying on teams to deliver lessons to pupils during the pandemic. Somehow though someone has manage to create accounts that have the same name as some of our staff members so the teacher in charge of a team would give them access to the lesson but they would then start shouting down the mic. So they seem to also be able to over ride the group mute settings. They haven't hacked a teachers account as when we look in the teams admin portal the actual teachers account doesn't show any activity. Does anybody know how a pupil may have been able to change their account name? Thanks

I would normally use Get-AppxPackage -AllUser | Out-GridView –PassThru | Remove-AppxPackage and Get-AppxPackage -AllUser | Out-GridView –PassThru | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online I usually select the whole list and then unselect calculator, store and camera. I used Get-AppxPackage -AllUser | Where PublisherId -eq 8wekyb3d8bbwe | Format-List -Property PackageFullName,PackageUserInformation Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage as a result of finding these command on another website after trying to find a solution as to why the capture was failing even when using the original powershell commands I maanged to mount a windows 10 installation ISO to the broken image so i could could then get to cmd. Looking at the setuperr.log file in C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Panther it looked like smartglass and snip & sketch are causing the fail but they should be being removed with the powershell command. Still scratching my head with this.

I create my image in hyper v and I've successfully captured it in the past (last capture was of windows 1909). I usually just apply the updates then capture it. I use sccm to capture and deploy. I have ran the usual powershell scripts to remove windows store apps. Get-AppxPackage -AllUser | Where PublisherId -eq 8wekyb3d8bbwe | Format-List -Property PackageFullName,PackageUserInformation Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage I then mount my capture.iso and start the capture. It runs through the sysprep and the restarts the VM. It then starts up with the black screen and a grey progress bar at the bottom that says loading files... The progress bar loads across the bottom a couple of times and then the VM shuts down. If I start it up again the progress bar loads across a couple of times again and shuts down again. Have I forgotten to do something or is their a new step to capturing the image that I'm missing?

Hi Students in our art department use Photoshop quite often and create large files. The problem is that their storage quota is set to 2Gb and the files they create soon fill up their quota. I would be interested to hear if any of you have similar problems and how you have dealt with it. Thanks

How do you change the default search engine in edge from Bing to Google using gpo. I have tried pointing to an opensearch.xml file but it doesn't seem to work. I have attached the xml file. I have put the xml on a server and then pointed the gpo to the file.
