I'm fully on prem with 97 APs running on a Hyper-V VM. No issues reported from end users, the only thing I've noticed is that sometimes the management interface does seem to take a while to load but once up has no issues. I'm sort of in a holding pattern to see what happens - as to support the vouchers better I need to get a cert installed, but not sure best way of doing that just yet and how to automate them renewing on this box. If it ends up being supported, then I'll move it all back to Cloud. Pete

Off-Site Tape Vaulting / Cloud Backups
FragglePete replied to EBrooke's topic in How do you do....it?
Still backup to LTO-8 here, but looking at cloud in the near future as licenses for Veeam are up for renewal and the backup server is getting old. Replacing all the hardware would be similar costs to get a cloud backup solution in place in the first year at least. Essentially I've got NAS units in place as well so I'm doing D2D2D2T - but the Office365 backup is my biggest concern presently which I want to get something a little bit more robust in place. Pete -
Oh, well, that's just bloody marvellous then isn't it?

I never had to reboot any AP. Just a patient waiting game when you delete it from the cloud, add the AP on prem and approve. Wait, wait and then assign the Profile and Sync. I've done all ours, so running on prem but of course now have issues with voucher based guest access because of no certificate. It works, but not pretty. The recommedation from Redway is setup a guest WLAN using PSK for the time being. Apart from that, all working ok with no issues. I'm watching carefully, if they release a non-anchored version with prepertual X licensing then I'll migrate it onto that box in the future. If however a buyer is found, then I'll migrate it back depending on their roadmap. Either way, plans will have to be made in the future to replace if need be. Pete

Adobe Creative Cloud causing lock ups

Could well be yes? Is there a known issue? Pete -
Adobe Creative Cloud causing lock ups
FragglePete replied to FragglePete's topic in Educational Software
No, did various testing of my image and deploying the package in July. All worked no issues. I'm sure others would have had similar issues though. Pete -
Adobe Creative Cloud causing lock ups

It's quite a new install for us, introduced this Summer ready for September. Pete -
Adobe Creative Cloud causing lock ups
FragglePete replied to FragglePete's topic in Educational Software
Again, thanks. Only thing redirected these days is My Docs, My Pictures, etc. User Profile is on the 😄 drive (C:\users\<username>\etc....) Don't believe it's expected behaviour as it locks the whole PC and makes it unuseable for about 60 seconds - if I do it remotely via RDP it kicks me off the session when the freeze occurs. The Shared Device licensing does require them to sign in, as you supposdly get all the Creative Cloud benefits of storing stuff with them, etc but not interested in that. I've got a post going on their community forums but not yielding much help at the moment. Don't want to go nuclear and do a re-image with a newer version of the creative cloud package but that's my next step. Pete -
Adobe Creative Cloud causing lock ups
FragglePete replied to FragglePete's topic in Educational Software
Thanks. that's helped that issue stopping that - which makes the machine useable at least. Problem still persists with the Sign In box appearing when starting any Creative Cloud app. Have removed Impero and also remove Sophos to see if it was any of these, but alas it still persists. Pete -
A problem has developed on all PCs that we have Creative Cloud installed on (device based licenses). Essentially, the PC freezes for about 30 secs and then the screen goes blank and then seems to sort itself out. Initially was happening when users first logged in, and I narrowed it down to the Creative Cloud App that was starting automatically at logon. I've disabled that initially (as an admin locally, still trying to sort out a reg hack for this) so now that doesn't start, but when a user tries to start Photoshop they are directed to the licensing login page and then the freeze will happen again. When the PC comes back it all seems useable. Any thoughts? This and other stuff going at the moment is the last thing I need right now. Pete

I'm still pushing ahead with my migration - I'm 44 devices in out of my 97 moved over. Will be interesting to see what happens - if they honour cnMaestro Essentials in the cloud then I may move things back. Pete

True, true. My Guest Portal is now not working, but I believe that's down to the Guest VLAN that these devices get associated too is being blocked by the ACL on my Core Switch. Won't be pretty either once I've tweaked that as the Guest Portal has no certificate presently. Oh the joys. Pete

Oof! £119 per month it would be for us! Somebody cashing in obviously. Pete

My next step was to do the DHCP thang, but thought if what I'd done so far didn't work try the next step. Will add those options anyway. Pete
