    I'm curious if educational organizations are using this instead of Microsoft 365 Apps. If so, is the license included with Microsoft 365 Education A3?

    Presenter doesn't work with the V4K. Thanks for the suggestion.

    We're also getting the ads on version 1.14.249.0. Is version 2 any better?

    With SDL and Federated IDs, is it required to sync your users to the Adobe Admin Console?

    After struggling with this for years, the problem seemed to be caused by using an unattend/answer file during OSD that does things to the default user profile. We eliminated it completely with 1909 and have had zero problems since.

    Yes to all of this. Did you make any progress? It seems to all hinge on the fact that SheerID only recognizes individual schools, and not school districts or institutions. IT Admins can't provide ID because they're not employed by one school. Autodesk is losing my support...

    I honestly don't understand the point of this MSI repackaging stuff. It's distributed as an NSIS installer and the switches work fine. "Scratch Desktop Setup 3.6.0.exe" /S /allusers /desktopshortcut

    Yep, score one for procrastination. I'm curious how updates will work. Will it allow out-of-date versions to be used? Will it prompt students to update?

    I'm not sure when it was added, but Minecraft: Education Edition now has a desktop version! The installer is an .msi wrapped in an .exe created using "Advanced Installer". I couldn't find any documentation from Microsoft, so I used the bottom section of of this. This is my command in SCCM: MinecraftEducationEdition_x86_1.9.1.0.exe /exenoui /q AI_DESKTOP_SH=1

    So the popular advice in the comments is to leave all the provisioned apps there. Personally, I don't care whether they waste their time on solitaire--the kids just play web games anyway. The reason we remove provisioned apps is so that they aren't installing during login. With shared computers and short classes, login times are critical.

    You can invoke this with powershell. For example: Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_UserProfile | Where LocalPath -Like "C:\Users\*" | foreach Delete

    Unless you live in a magical land without XFA-based forms, you need Reader. Nothing else works. And if you didn't already know, you can deploy Reader with all the cloud services disabled.

    Well, the 5 options in the poll are forms of management. But you're correct, you can't deploy the updates per se. There's another option in early beta called Delivery Optimization In-Network Cache (DOINC). Normally I wouldn't be an early adopter, but this is something I'd jump on.
  14. JasonNVSD
    Yep, same here. We're not using Roaming profiles or U-EV. I posted here asking about it a couple weeks ago but got no replies. Something I noticed... Even though Edge is an app, it's not a "provisioned" app, and it's not in the Store. The apps that break like Photos or Calculator are provisioned and part of the Store.
  15. JasonNVSD
    This is essentially what we have been doing, but now apps seem to be disabling themselves when they realize an update exists. Also, some teachers want to use the "Video" feature that was added to the new Photos.
  16. JasonNVSD
    Provisioned apps like Photos, Calculator, etc. can't be updated from WSUS or SCCM DPs. How do you manage this in schools with limited bandwidth?
  17. JasonNVSD
    From what I understand, each time a new user logs in, all provisioned apps are installed for that user. We removed most provisioned apps in an effort to reduce sign in times. We also enabled the policy "Turn off Automatic Download and Install of updates". After a couple weeks, the remaining apps stop working. The Store app recognizes there's updates for the apps, and if you update them manually, they work again (at least for that user, or until there's another update). Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to use the apps without updating them?
  18. JasonNVSD
    Remove the provisioned app package Microsoft.GetHelp. Connect you'll want to leave alone.

    I wasn't paying attention. The "InputLocale" isn't just for keyboards, it's also for language. It can be set with DISM or the Unattend.xml.
  20. JasonNVSD
    Language cabs on are on the Features on Demand ISO. You can configure this with DISM or Unattend.xml. DISM: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/dism-languages-and-international-servicing-command-line-options Unattend: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/unattend/microsoft-windows-international-core

    We currently use the EN-US Windows 10 ISO, and configure it for Canada with the Unattend.xml during OSD with SCCM. Now we would like to have additional languages available. I figured out how to get language cabs from the Features on Demand ISO and use DISM to add them to our Install.wim. However, for the users they still don't show up in Language preferences. According to the documentation, Unattend.xml supports multiple keyboards, but not multiple languages. Does anyone have multiple languages working with Windows 10?

    How did you remove the 3D Objects folder? It doesn't exist in the Default user folder...
  23. JasonNVSD
    We're looking at going from Windows 10 Education version 1607 to 1709. Some relevant changes discovered so far: The default policy for Cortana search has been changed from disabled to enabled per this Microsoft document. In the new Administrative Templates is "Prevent OneDrive from generating network traffic until the user signs in to OneDrive". This was desperately needed in 1607! As expected, there's changes to the provisioned Store apps. 1 was removed, and 8 were added. Same as before, make your login times quicker for new users by removing them. Anyone else make similar discoveries?

    You pretty much nailed it there. Their 4K system requirements are vague, which translates to me as "we didn't actually test this on different hardware". CPU-based graphics is often better than dedicated graphics for things like video encoding/decoding, OpenCL, etc. That said, I would recommend getting one board and one laptop and evaluating it yourself before doing a big order. Dell and Lenovo will provides demos, not sure about SMART.

    This error is supposed to be related to regional settings. Someone else suggested selecting English International instead of English North America during installation.
