Pearson onscreen platform installation woes
hellgate24 replied to IT_Man_Dan's topic in Educational Software
Just wanted to say this is still a problem with the same fix 8 years later! Was getting 'An unexpected error occurred' when logging into the admin dashboard, uninstalling the exam service clearly leaves something important behind as reinstalling on the same server produced the same error. Was only when I installed it on a server it had never been installed on before that it started to work again. Goobadge. -
I managed to get our Mercury II working on a 32 bit build of 1909 with driver signature enforcement disabled. Had to use an older PC that had a parallel port on the motherboard though, couldn't get it to work with a USB to parallel adapter.

On one of the TPM 1.2 devices, once its installed, does it show as an unsupported device in the Windows Update section of the settings app?

I seem to recall having a similar issue with an HP G8 (we only bought one) and SCCM. Disabling secure boot, letting it image and then re-enabling it after it had built was the workaround. Might be worth a shot.

Used to get this on the SG350 switches. It was down to auto smartport kicking in and changing the port config to what the switch thought it needed to be. Turned this off on a port by port basis through the CLI and my issues went away.

Yes had exactly the same today. As soon as edit academic year is started it bombed SIMS for everyone else. In fairness it does say before you run it that it will take a long time. I ended up ditching it and adding the bank holiday through School Diary instead.

Upgrading from a B350 to B550 Motherboard. Any Gotcha's?
hellgate24 replied to Dos_Box's topic in Hardware
Update the BIOS to the latest version before you swap the CPU. Sometimes these boards ship with older versions of the BIOS from before 5XXX series launched and support for these CPUs was added in a later update. Thats caught a few people out I know of where they have had to source an older CPU in order to get the BIOS updated to support the newer CPU they have purchased. Unless it has BIOS flashback support in which case you're golden. -
Dfe Hp 255 G7 : Cant get past "connect to microsoft" on set -up

I had this issue, ended up building an unattend file that skips this part of the setup, placing it on the root of the USB drive and reinstalling. -
EDIT - Just re-read - you're using WDS not MDT... sorry.
-
You want install.wim - this is the OS install image. Boot.wim is the Windows 8.1 boot image, if you've set MDT up on a new server you're probably not going to need this as you've likely added a newer (more up to date) boot image for clients to boot into MDT from as part of this process.

Had the same thing, had to disconnect my O365 account in Settings > Accounts > Access work or school Then it worked... well I say worked, also got told to go home because of my i7-5500u.

Merging Tenancies - Considerations and best practice
hellgate24 replied to CyBeRkId2002's topic in Cloud Services
Went through something similar last year with 2 secondaries migrating their 2 individual tenancies into a new shared tenancy. Ended up using a tool called BitTitan to do most of the heavy lifting for us, took care of mailboxes, onedrives, Teams, SharePoint sites, you basically just map source to destination and it does the rest. Very slick. Had to ditch SSO though as the previous network manager though it was a good idea to create 2 separate standalone domains for both schools and call them the same thing -
moving from BGFL365 shared Microsoft 365 tenancy
hellgate24 replied to runcmd's topic in Cloud Services
Not BGFL related, but we migrated 2 individual school tenancies into a shared academy one last year. Used a product called BitTitan, did most of the heavy lifting for us. -
Had similar issues with old ActivBoards blue screening after updating laptops from 1809 to 2004. Seems Promethean are aware of this and is an issue that was introduced in 1903. Workaround is to use the 5.18.12 driver for older boards, or update the FW on the newer ones: https://community.prometheanworld.com/forums/topic/update-to-1st-generation-2nd-generation-ab100-ab300-ab500-bsod-windows-10-1903/
