You can add this to the customsettings.ini: DomainAdmin=User DomainAdminDomain=Domain.local DomainAdminPassword=password That's a way of doing it, obviously not the most secure thing, but if say it's just for a project it's not too bad. If it's a High School though, I'd strongly recommend leaving some kind of authorisation in place as all it takes is for one of them to work it out!

Wanted: Old Laptops/SSDs (or even APs if you're getting new ones!!)
NB9457 replied to realtnt's topic in Green Computing
A bit of advice, as much as a school is cash strapped, when they begin taking donations and equipment is swapped out/fixed with almost zero cost, it starts becoming overlooked should they come in to money and somewhat expected. I've been in a similar position and in the end had to put a foot down with donations as they caused to many issues in the end and surprisingly and equipment began dropping left right and centre as desktops reached 10 years old, money suddenly became available to replace the decaying kit. Just be careful, it's like paddling in deep waters. -
There's a huge thread about it here: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-10/163286-windows-10-start-menu-working-solution.html maybe that could provide some insight. Classic shell is used by a lot of people and it is quick to set up and get working if you need something urgently, the Win10 menu and tiles are doable, but I miss the simpler times, which classic shell recreates.

[Win10] Random Logon Problems - for anyone that likes a challenge
NB9457 replied to timbo343's topic in Windows 10
We are having similar issues! -
What does GPResult say?
-
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon That should be the one to make sure it loads the GPOs
-
NUCs are a good consideration, make rooms look really neat, low power consumption and have been very reliable for us. What issues are you having with Win10 and what hardware are you currently using?
-
The permissions have stayed with the VHDs for us, so just share the route folders again. We keep server names/IPs the same so don't have to redo any UNC Paths or GPOs. As for DCs, we have 3, so do them one at a time, demo/promote. Really easy, DCs we can do whilst the network is live. Have DHCP failover setup now too, that was a nice feature they added.
-
Same here, with running everything virtual, it's much cleaner and easier to start fresh. For things such as shares and whatnot these are all on separate VHDs from the OS, so we can just mount these to new VMs. HyperV has been a blessing.

Papa John's mobile site was that bad the other night, I got frustrated and ended up ordering elsewhere

"Upgrade" Switching, Stack Commander Only - Silly Idea?
NB9457 replied to JRA's topic in Wired Networks
If you can get the money together, it'd probably be best to do it all at once and get the Unifi Gateway for routing as the switches are L2, they support VLANs and they will work with other switches and routers, but nothing is better than a standarised system, it's easier to support and troubleshoot. The Unifi software is very good, I've not had an issue with it yet, there's a lot of support now too on their own forums and even edugeek as the community is growing as more and more people adapt it! -
"Upgrade" Switching, Stack Commander Only - Silly Idea?
NB9457 replied to JRA's topic in Wired Networks
Genuinely if you're looking into spending £6k, you could replace the core switch with a Ubiquiti 16 Port Fibre Switch (Around £450exVAT) and you could get around 12 US-48 switches (£350exVAT) and the 10Gb modules to go with (Around £20 each). There's people running the kit on here and for the money it is very very good, I'd look into it as you'd definately see a benefit, heck, if you could squeeze to £10k, you could do all the switches, have a 10Gb backbone and 1Gb to clients. -

NB9457 replied to JRA's topic in Wired Networks
What are you currently intending to spend? -
Goluk The Super Fun Dashcam The Goluk cameras are very feature packed, nice design and have a big following, around £90 on amazon they are

Just standard Sky WiFi. Have a my PC wired and has enough power to mess about VMs if I want to check something out, but I don't really want to fully bring my work home haha.

What solution are you guys using for OS deployment these days?
NB9457 replied to localzuk's topic in O/S Deployment
Is SCCM easy enough to set up? -
I'd have a look at these for Core https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgeswitch-16-xg/ or the Unifi Version with a router. Also the switches you've listed above aren't 10Gb

Papercut offer this feature as an extra: https://www.papercut.com/products/save-paper-widget/

It won't be in Google's terms and conditions as it's nothing to do with them really, it's down to the school and their policies. I imagine it's something you'd have to discuss with SLT and the person in question wanting this, are there any security risks and what not.
-
It's happening on a mix of machines apparenlty on 2015 and 2016 LTSB, not had a real chance to delve into it though, first thing to check is Impero and make sure that isn't causing issues.

I'm sure the only thing they did with the Education version, was name it Education! A lot of people on here use Classic Shell for a Windows 7 like Start Menu, deployed via GPO and redirected just like the good ol' days. IIRC to get the XML to work, you can make it on a PC with the tiles how you want, export it, add that to a GPO along with the redirects for the programs and all should be dandy, there's a massive thread on the whole thing somewhere

Out of Warranty Projector Repairs in UK
NB9457 replied to RobAngell's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
It'll probably be more worthwhile to replace it, Epson do similar projectors. Or you could have a look at something like this, which may be your best bet: SMART LightRaise 60Wi Touch Screen Interactive Projector ONLY | eBay -
On EE here and web pages aren't loading, shows as having 4G, just thought it was due to my office as it can be hit and miss, but not this bad.
