Is office 365 syncing from AD, or are you strictly O365 only? I would use the following if you're synced locally from AD; Get-ADuser -filter {enabled -eq $false} | Set-ADUser -Replace @{msExchHideFromAddresslists = $true} You might want to specify a -searchbase for the get-aduser query edit; The actual powershell error you're getting seems like a throttling issue? Probably due to running it in a pipeline, might be better to use a ForEach and loop through the results of the query

Use some hot glue and glue them together to make a wreath like we did for Christmas at my old school

In my opinion, the LCD is definitely damaged and will need to be replaced. I doubt you'll get to the bottom of how it got broken, but I'm betting something in between the laptop when it was closed or in a laptop bag.

All staff email for those staff who have access via mobile data Message in staff briefing (if it lies on that day) Message to all staff via Impero Message on intranet home page Sign on the door And then when all that's missed and they rush into the office, we tell them

Even with the change post November 2019, it's still a pretty good warranty as the end of sale date tends to be quite a while after you buy the device. I hope not to have all the same switches in 10 years! I don't quite follow your train of thought here... you're still going to need switches with a decent throughput with both local servers or cloud servers. Otherwise you're limiting your PCs to 10Mb connectivity... With the VLANs, I've never run into an issue (we have a couple of Cisco/Netgear/TP-Link switches as well as a bulk of HP), just found you have to understand the terminology differences (e.g. a Trunk in Cisco world is a port with multiple VLANs, whereas in HP land a trunk is multiple ports being used for redundancy/bandwidth)

Most manufacturers have a runtime calculator on their website e.g. https://www.apc.com/shop/uk/en/tools/ups_selector/server/load or https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/tools/runtimes/ What you have to factor in is that your server will have a 500W PSU, but it will not be drawing anywhere near that under a normal load so you will likely get a longer runtime. (e.g. one of our servers has dual 700W PSU's, but under a normal load they only use about 150W). For you, I'd probably go with a 1kVA UPS This explains the calculations quite well imo: Company Seven | The UPS And Determining The Required Capacity

Can't imagine having 100MB switches only in 2020! I personally stick to HP for the school, they're pretty inexpensive, web-managed (no CLI for the 1920 switches) but have a nice lifetime warranty which I've had to use in a couple of cases. Out of the 100+ HP switches I've looked after in a few schools, I've only had to warranty replace about 2 and it was a case of explaining the issue to HP and they sent out a replacement next day.

RAM usage is pretty inaccurate, try using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/downloads/rammap Is your SQL server set to use a maximum amount of RAM? It could be secretly using all the available RAM if not... definitely know SQL server likes to do that

What are the lamp hours on the projector? Usually a flicker indicates the lamp is at the end of it's life and that's when we start to replace them. You might be able to reduce any flicker by putting the projector in eco mode.

The beaminstersch.mail.onmicrosoft.com is your initial domain name for Office365, it can't be removed (from O365) but you can change the default as you already have. To add multiple proxyaddresses, you go into AD > User > Attribute editor > Double-click ProxyAddresses > Type in a value (SMTP for primary, smtp for aliases) and then press Add > Repeat for more addresses In the event of a staff name change, I do the following: Scenario where Jane Smith has changed name to Jane Henry - Rename account and display name, change mail address/upn AD Attribute editor - Delete "SMTP:[email protected]" and add in "smtp:[email protected]" and "SMTP:[email protected]". Sync changes to O365 using Powershell [font=Calibri]Invoke-Command [/font][font=Calibri]-ComputerName DC1 -ScriptBlock {Start-AdSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta}[/font] 4. Connect to O365 and change UPN (only necessary if you're not syncing UPN changes in Azure AD Connect) Connect-MsolServiceSet-MsolUserPrincipalName -newuserprincipalname [email protected] -userprincipalname [email protected]

Can you try the following report that I found recently on the scomis website? https://faq.scomis.org/kb21380/ Seems to work well for me! After running it'll put export into Excel and use a pivot table to aggregate the points

Are you just double-clicking the MSI to install? Try right click > run as admin if you can, or call it from msiexec /i /q This error too; 2/14/2020 10:58:33 [ERROR] Setup - Error parsing command line arguments at - "DISABLE_CCM_DESKTOPSHORTCUT". Expected arguments are - --mode=silent --overrideFile=""

I don't believe you can get it to loop forever on the Windows client. A embedded gif sounds like it's more likely to not work than work for end-users though.

0xc1900208 refers to an application incompatibility, as Steve21 mentioned, you can set your task sequence to ignore compatibility errors and continue on regardless. Edit TS > Upgrade the operating system step > Check "Ignore any dismissible compatibility messages" If you want, you can also find out what program(s) are blocking the upgrade by going to the appraiser log file in C:\$Windows.~ BT\Sources\Panther and finding the latest file that includes "APPRAISER_HumanReadable.xml" and investigate that.

For CCTV installs like that I normally just terminate the cable into an RJ45 module inside a backbox with a blanking cover (so not into a faceplate, just loose in the backbox). I'll then run the cable from the CCTV camera into that backbox so it's connected, but can't be unplugged. Think of using a coupler as being the same as if you ran a 10m cable from a port on the wall to the CCTV camera. It's not going to have an effect on performance and will be fine with power going through it (cameras are pretty low voltage anyway)

I've had this in the past where we supplied the PC but the heating company would troubleshoot any bugs with the software etc. Never really had an issue, just left it running as needed. If their engineers can reinstall the software on Windows 10 and it isn't an issue (aka doesn't need to run on W7) then I'd just throw together a new PC with an SSD and Windows 10 LTSC. Install Veeam Agent and set it to backup every night and then ask them to setup the software and replace the one running W7. Reason for Veeam is that if it goes bust, you can just do a bare metal restore and be up and running quickly, rather than having to get them to reinstall software etc.

Morning, That looks like a female to female VGA, so... CPC? https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/psg03799/adaptor-lead-vga-sockets-135mm/dp/AV23284 You can also just get male to female coupling blocks about

Hahaha, we got it too... classic crapita though!

Our library notification email got disabled last night by O365 due to the outbound spam rules, the documented limit for sending via Exchange Online is 30 per minute. I wasn't 100% on how the batch settings worked, so I submitted a ticket and got the following response; And then when queried about running the task manually; So if they were to run the task manually, it'd lock up the management app for that time. Hope that helps!

I'd recommend using AGPM (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-desktop-optimization-pack/agpm/) if you have access. Change control, versioning, backup and restore and an approval workflow. Bit overkill for some environments but nice in others. History/changelog is the best part imo. Without that, I'd add comments to the GPO as I edit them (in the description/comments field) with reasons of why they were added etc. Exporting GPOs as HTML as a backup is nice in the event of a disaster or replication failure.

I just duplicated our Google Chrome policy, for the "Block access to a list of URLs", change chrome:// for edge:// e.g. edge://settings or edge://extensions "Managed Bookmarks" is now "Configure Favorites" (took me a while to find!)

The majority of our printers are leased and order the toner automatically, this works 99% of the time. We do have a few models that can't do this, so we do still keep an inventory and stock juuust in case. Super simple, just a list of Toner Type, Colour, # in Stock, Used, Printer Model, Location. We try to keep 5 in stock so "Used" is just 5 - # in stock. Conditional formatting on the "in stock" so when it's at 2 it goes orange and we order some more. Very basic, does what we need for the 3 toners types we keep in stock.

We use Office 365 and a service account (e.g. [email protected]).

Nice to know I'm not alone here then... although kind of annoying. We still have snipping tool deployed and pinned to the start menu, guess I'll just keep staff using that then!
