  1. Nice find! This sounds exactly like what it could be. A reboot every 6 minutes. Hopefully you can modify the install within 6 minutes to remove the "Raw 802.11 Packet Capture Support" or remove WireShark/Npcap and the reboots will stop. Safe mode probably won't load this driver so you could do it then too. If you were troubleshooting a VM NTLM issues, You can always use Hyper-V Port Mirroring to capture packets from one VM to another running WireShark rather than installing it on the host.
  2. If the server reboots too fast for you to get to the \\hostname\C$\Windows\ share from another server you could probably write a PowerShell script to loop until the host pings, then Test-Path the C$ share until it’s reachable, then copy the MEMORY.DMP file from it to another server so that you can catch it as soon as it’s available. You can then load it up in WinDbg (https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windbg-preview/9PGJGD53TN86?hl=en-gb&gl=GB) and analyse it to see what might be the cause. You could also attempt to set the host to go in to safe mode with networking on the next reboot. Something like this would probably do it if you’re quick enough (not tested this so use at your own risk!): Enter-PSSession hostname & bcdedit /set '{default}' safeboot network
  3. You able to grab the MEMORY.DMP file before it reboots again? Is there iDRAC/iLO you could get to?
  4. They’re fully GDPR compliant: https://community.spiceworks.com/gdpr-faq. What concern is there about where the data is stored?
  5. Why no cloud helpdesk? Makes it easy for users to access from anywhere, less setup/maintenance for you and Spiceworks Cloud is completely free. What do you mean by "pull through"? Emails sent from Spiceworks helpdesk to your mailbox aren't received, or emails from a user to Spiceworks aren't logged as a ticket?
  6. OK, so using UniExtract2 (which bundles Exeinfo PE in), you can scan Setup.exe to determine that it is an InstallShield installer. Googling for "InstallShield silent install" results in their documentation: https://docs.revenera.com/installshield26helplib/helplibrary/InstallShieldSilent.htm, which shows that we're dealing with an InstallScript installer. To silently install it, we first need to create a response file for the installer. You can follow the instructions but basically you run: Setup.exe -r -f1"C:\path\to\create\install.iss" This will launch the installer, you run it as you normally would and the install.iss file will be created. To install the program silently with our response file, you switch the -r for an -s and pass it the path of the install.iss file. I've tested this in a VM and it's worked silently: Setup.exe -s -f1"C:\path\to\install.iss" If you wanted to do an uninstall response file, you can do the same process as before, but also add an -x in the commands too. If you're deploying this through something like ConfigMgr, you won't know the absolute path of the install.iss file when it gets copied locally to a workstation, so you need a way to find and pass this to Setup.exe so it can silently install. You could write a batch or PowerShell file to achieve this. Below is a batch file you could use: @echo off REM Run Installer start /wait "" "%~dp0Setup.exe" -s -f1"%~dp0install.iss" REM Return exit code exit /B %EXIT_CODE% Hope this helps!
  7. Don’t have sharp boards myself but happy to have a crack at finding a way to deploy the software. Where can it be downloaded from?
  8. Works with Firefox. There’s a browser extension for it.
  9. You can install the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on your computer https://www.prajwaldesai.com/install-rsat-tools-on-windows-10-version-1809/. Manage group policy from there without needing to log in to a DC.

    Python

    What kind of commands are they running? Most built-in .exe’s can be run from the start menu or shortcuts unless blocked by SRP/AppLocker anyway. Do you have ‘Disable the command prompt script processing also?’ enabled too?
  11. Worth reapplying thermal paste on the CPU’s and see if that makes any improvement vs disabling a safety feature? We’ve had older computers/laptops throttle themselves due to heat. Reapplying thermal paste fixed it almost every time.
  12. We keep Windows Store installed as you need it to keep the store apps up to date. We restrict it to our private store with the ‘Only display the private store within the Microsoft Store’ GPO setting. Has worked without issues for us.
  13. So turns out this 'fix' for the smtp: bug has it's caveats. If you apply it, PO's send better without having to change the addresses in Outlook. However, this then breaks remittances if you're using that within Resource 32000. We've had to re-add the "smtp:" prefix again.
  14. Is this the article you’re following to make the bootable installer? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201372. Are you running at least macOS Sierra 10.12.5? I've had issues before creating bootable installers for new macOS releases, on older macOS so that could be why. You could try macOS recovery instead? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204904 Apple Silicon: press and hold power button at startup Intel: Command-R: built-in macOS Recovery System Option-Command-R: macOS Recovery over the internet (install latest supported macOS) Option-Shift-Command-R: macOS Recovery over the internet (reinstall the version of macOS that came with your Mac)
  15. Worth watching these made by PatchMyPc: http:// https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlbnpTGUMlnXND6or4NNTcr7qoURGIgDj. Some of the best ConfigMgr videos I’ve seen. https://silentinstallhq.com/ is also a useful resource.
  16. We deploy http:// https://sqlitebrowser.org/ for this. Much simpler for students to use and understand.
  17. First result on Google for “The callback function must be invoked inline” seems to indicate it’s NPS starting before RRAS and blocking it from starting properly. See: http:// https://serverfault.com/questions/948982/windows-server-2019-vpn-error-8007042a-after-kb4480116.
  18. There's workarounds, but some of the Outlook issues aren't fixable in our case. Worth seeing what Civica say for your issues with it. College/MAT, yes. My interpretation of it was that they'd fix bugs (excluding the IQ Objects Outlook integration issues) and add features that HMRC require but that was about it in terms of development. I agree, if it can't support modern technology and their Cloud product isn't designed to replace it then I think it may be time to see what else is out there. I contacted one of their Support Consultants directly who put me in touch with the Technical Lead, but I think the general support address is: [email protected]. Office 2016 was a lot better with it compared with Microsoft 365 apps. I wonder what Office 2019/2022 would be like with it.
  19. Access denied would indicate a permissions issue. Can you connect with the root account? You can test the database connection via maridb directly. Open CMD, run: mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u snipeit -p snipeit Run a test command like SHOW TABLES; to show all the tables and see if that works. You can also open CMD in the Snipe root directory and run: php artisan db to test the DB connection using the settings in your .env file.
  20. What type of profiles are you using? Do you require the Papercut client to send a job to the printer (e.g. account codes) or is it just used to notify the user it's in a queue? How is the Papercut client installed/running? Installed locally, running from a share in standard/cached mode etc.? How is the printer mapped? script/GPO/Papercut Print Deploy etc.? Assuming it's a virtual queue, can they print directly to the printer via it's IP? Could try running ProcMon when they try to print and see what's happening.
  21. Are you using Edge? edu.sketchup.com relies on WebAssembly. Most modern browsers support this. However, in Edge (and maybe other browsers) if you have enhanced security/secure mode enabled then this can often block WebAssembly with the error ‘WebAssembly is not defined’ in the DevTools Console. Fix is to whitelist the site(s) affected. You can exempt sketchup in Edge at http://edge://settings/privacy/secureModeExceptions.
  22. Funny you should post this, we've had a similar issue that I've been working on this month with a Civica Technical Lead. To his credit, he was very responsive and answered my questions, but couldn't provide a solution for everything as explained below. Our issues are also with 'E-mail Order' and Microsoft 365/Office 365 apps. We didn't have as many issues with Microsoft Office 2016. This is what we've had so far: When you click the ‘E-mail order’ button on a PO/enquiry, the content of the email is added to the email (which is visible before sending) but after it’s sent, the recipient has a blank email. If we change the email formatting from HTML to 'Rich Text' then the email sends as expected with content visible for the recipient. When you send as a shared mailbox, it will not work if you have an auto-mapped shared mailbox and use the 'From' dropdown to send as that shared mailbox. It has to be added as a separate Outlook account or it will fail to send. Although we do have Outlook 365 set as the default email client, we get the following prompt every single time when clicking ‘E-mail order’: We too get the recipient prepended with "smtp:", but do not have any issues with 'server busy' The R32000 SMTP config is in '\Data\Settings\RADIOParams.ini' but R32000 does not support authenticated SMTP so a mail relay or O365 direct send is required While troubleshooting the blank email issue, I discovered that on the server that R32000 is installed, when clicking 'E-mail order', it'll generate a .htm file (which also has outdated DOCTYPE's and HTML with many syntax/formatting issues) in to a '\Data\Spooled\Live\' folder. This is never cleared out so has PO's dating back many years. We've since setup a Scheduled Task to delete these regularly. There is a fix for the "smtp:" bug, which apparently, is a deliberate 'feature'. You can delete the SMTP from the R32000 registry key EMAILPREFIX. The EMAILPREFIX reg key can be found inside the database. Log in to R32000 Go to System Control -> System -> Maintenance -> Registry Maintenance (need permissions to access this screen) Search on KEY and type EMAILPREFIX You will see a key with that name and when open, you can delete the smtp: in the data field As for the Outlook issues, the program/code that R32000 uses to integrate with Outlook is called 'IQ Objects'. Civica do not have an access to it's code. IQ Objects is a dedicated language (just like i.e. C#, Python). The issue being that it cannot be edited or maintained as it was wrote by a single person who left years ago. Which I assume means that some of these Outlook issues cannot be fixed without a complete rewrite in a different programming language. The core R32000 code hasn't been updated since 2019, other than the MTD (Making Tax Digital) patches in 2020/21. They don't currently plan to develop it further besides bug fixes/legal changes, but have no plans to end-of-life the product. There are also no plans to have Financials Live (their Cloud offering) replace it, so it sort of leaves us in a bit of a limbo. Granted, they do have a dedicated support team and developer for it. I'd also be wary of having their web portal exposed to the internet. As it's a web portal with access to a financial database I asked for information on security reviews/testing of it's code which they were not able to provide..
  23. Just coming up with some ideas for further troubleshooting: When you say they go very slow, what do you mean? Connecting/logging in takes a while? Once connected in do apps take a long time to open? Do they become unresponsive while using them? Opening or browsing for files in File Explorer slow? All or some users affected? Is this happening using the RDS from home, does this happen connecting internally? Use/create a local user on the RDS servers. Is this affected by slowness too? Or an AD user without UPD if possible. See if we can rule this out as an issue. Try running https://iperf.fr/ between your computer and the RDS servers, maybe the File server where the UPD's are stored too, when it's running fine and again when RDS is slow. See if there's any difference in speed. Any similarities in the time of day this is happening? Any fall/rise in connected sessions? Scheduled task on the RDS/Host maybe? I've heard of Intel adapters affected by slow performance that was caused by IPv4 Checksum Offload, IPv4 Large Send Offload, and Large Send Offload v2 (IPV4) before. Worth a shot at testing disabling one/all. Do the RDS VM's have Dynamic Memory enabled, if so, disable it maybe? Is the number of vCPU's used across all VM's <= to the total on the hosts? Is the power plan set to High Performance? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/performance/slow-performance-when-using-power-plan. Any errors in the event viewer on the gateway and RDS servers of note?
  24. Just replied to http://www.edugeek.net/forums/office-software/225450-ms-teams-update-msi.html and used some bold text to highlight some values and then viewed it on the iOS app (version 7.1.211 (214)) and the bold text does not display there. Have confirmed it with other posts that show bold text on the website (both desktop and mobile) but not in the iOS app.
  25. It's a handy script, especially for those not using package deployment. But it effectively just downloads the MSI to a central location and then installs it to a computer, removing any older versions etc. The thing that makes it work is: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Teams\AllowMsiOverride = 1 This key is poorly documented but the best explanation is here: https://github.com/microsoft/TeamsMsiOverride/blob/main/Details.md#teams-msi-override. This is really useful if you have a few clients that haven't updated even if their shortcut is set to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Update.exe --processStart "Teams.exe", which should be auto-updating that users copy of Teams. So you can set the AllowMsiOverride reg key to all computers via GPO, deploy the latest Teams Machine-Wide Installer through your normal deployment process every so often as a fall-back version and if the users %APPDATA% version of Teams isn't the same or newer version as the Machine-Wide Installer then it'll update it from that. Pretty useful! Worth checking for and deleting the PreventInstallationFromMsi key from HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Teams too or this won't work.
