What server version are you using, and what client version of Win 10 Education. I did a test with the original version a while back and it was all ok, but after the Anniversary update, it required a different KMS key from MS Licensing. Once I got that, it all started working, but you do need to specify the server version (2012 r2 in my case) and then client version, like 1703 or whatever it is, I only think this occurred once, but it was a bit fun trying to get it working

Thank you all, this is now done, we made it, barely. I am now enjoying TV and a sofa

The file withing GADS or whatever it is now? You do all your settings in the wizard that you want, test it, run it and check it syncs how you want and then save the XML from there :-) That is the file you need

do it, one at a time, good time to test your tolerance for 5 minutes or so. It's actually quite a painless process :-)

Just think, all the money saved with split ticketing, you could sponsor me with it https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/garry-gardiner5

Does Paddington go to salisbury? We always have gone via waterloo

Sometimes it takes a couple of hours for that to be detected at Google's end, something to do with replication and crawling. Try verifying again tomorrow :-)

Good shout there @Garacesh I forgot to mention that too.

GAPS goes on all your writing DCs. Luckily, we only have two :-) It is very lightweight.

Yeah you can for that one, that's what I would do as well. But if you actually wanted to change all the passwords to the same you can use that command :-)

GADS, the AD sync, does allow you to set a default password for G Suite users until they change their AD password. for mass password resetting, this DOS command allows you to reset all passwords of users in a specified OU DSQUERY user "OU=2011,OU=Students,OU=OU2,OU=OU1,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL" -limit 0 | DSMOD user -pwd

It was actually pretty pain free TBH. You can set it up to authenticate against ADFS, but I never went that far, as Google Classroom didn't have custom URLs to redirect straight to the ADFS login page, where most the other services did, I don't know if that has changed or not. I chose to stick with Google's own authentication, just for ease.

i Followed these instructions https://support.google.com/a/answer/2856827?hl=en Once I had our domain activated I used Google Active Directory Sync in order to synchronise all my AD users as a scheduled tasks, it also syncs our Salamander AD Sync Groups as well. Then I installed GAPS, their password sync software, on each Domain controller and then when a user changes their password, it pretty much instantly (couple of seconds) synchronises to G Suite. I have GMail disabled here, as we use Office 365 for email, and that receives all the Google Emails. I hope that helps

thanks @Joanne I have my trusty boots, that I have had for a year and used suitably well, just need to rewaterproof them (I am making up my own word there)

Thank you @The_Oracle :-)

I think as I am unable to attend, everyone should look at this thread ;-) http://www.edugeek.net/forums/general-chat/197964-sponsored-hike-childrens-musical-charity.html

I am sure @witch 's magical frogs, that she turns edugeekers that are off topic, are immune to it :-)

Thank you so much @elsiegee40

This thread seems to have taken a slightly uncomfortable turn

And OMG do I need a @witch hug

It is going to be the first one of the Salisbury ones I have missed. I was really looking forward to the picnic (and the potential Russian Roulette of will I get poisoned or not)

I will take my responsibilities very seriously to get @X-13 to go. The worse thing is that is happened to my tech while going to sit down. First time (in over 10 years) I've the the one to call and ambulance to work

I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to make it. One of my two technicians has been signed off for at least 4 weeks, due to dislocating their knee. Booooo

I need to book our customary train @elsiegee40

You are coming for a picnic, that's what's happening
