dang it! how to extend the c drive! (VM machine)
brianhig replied to chazzy2501's topic in Windows Server 2012
you can’t extend 😄 because the unallocated space isn’t adjacent to it. windows only lets you extend into contiguous free space. since E: is between 😄 and the unallocated block, you’ll need to either delete or move E: first. easiest fix is to use a partition tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard or GParted to move that E: volume to the end of the disk, then extend C:. if this is a VM, you could also clone 😄 to a new larger virtual disk and swap it in, which is usually safer if it’s production.- 15 replies

yeah, tons of folks ran into that one. kb5046613 is finicky with win10 esu, especially on 22h2 systems that had paused updates or older servicing stacks. try manually installing the latest ssu (kb5039354 i think) before running the kb5046613 standalone installer. if that fails, clear out the softwaredistribution folder and run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. that usually gets it to stick.

We’ve been testing Triton detectors at our school instead of halo and they’ve been okay so far. They catch vape and THC really well and don’t need calibration like some others do, which is better than going the cctv route.

Totally get the frustration. iCloud’s limits make things harder than they should be, and unless OneDrive has that cleanup feature on iOS (which I haven’t seen either), you're kind of stuck doing the manual shuffle. Would be amazing if Apple let third-party apps manage storage like Android does.

Love how this thread turns into a mini tech recommendations hub every Prime Day. Some of these links are legit helpful, especially the portable monitor and NAS stuff.

A lot of schools do still run in-house IT, but it really depends on the setup, some outsource, others keep a small team on site. Reaching out directly to schools, especially the bigger international ones, can open more doors than job boards alone. On the moving side, I used smartmovers.ae when I relocated to the UAE. They handled customs, storage, and delivery to my flat without turning it into a circus. Communication was decent and they didn't randomly tack on fees at the end, which seems to happen a lot out there. Just thought I'd mention it in case someone's lining that part up too.

Alternative to TextMagic with email functionality
brianhig replied to MMKaren's topic in How do you do....it?
I'd check out Schoolcomms, ParentPay, T2K, Mailchimp, or Sendinblue - all UK-based and offer a mix of SMS and email messaging with group and scheduling features. -
Hi DSAGEY, I know you’re facing issues while enrolling iPads with Apple Configurator and Meraki MDM particularly where there are user base profile settings and passcode. Herein challenges reoccur even after adherence to the ASM and Meraki guidelines and engaging the support team. It could be because it’s not new, or maybe because it has a lower capacity – that is if Meraki has some setting regulating passcode modification. Consider checking these aspects.

For Roblox, you can use the /S flag to install silently. As for Roblox Studio, you can use the --silent flag. To avoid UAC prompts, you can use the --install-dir flag to specify a directory that doesn't require admin access.

To resolve this, check your Group Policy settings in the GPMC, ensuring they are correctly linked and configured, and verify file permissions on the shared folder containing the shortcut bank. Use the gpresult command on a pupil PC to confirm policies are applied, and refresh policies with gpupdate /force

Have you checked if there are any specific permissions or access settings affecting how Adobe Animate interacts with the "Documents" folder on your system?

Azure Virtual Desktop - thoughts about how realistic it is
brianhig replied to Millgate_Victoria's topic in Hardware
Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is pretty cool for setting up virtual desktops in the cloud. A lot of businesses are digging it because you can scale up your desktops and apps without needing a bunch of new hardware on-site. It's great for remote work too, letting your team access everything securely from wherever they are. If you're thinking about AVD, think about how it'll mesh with your current IT setup and what kind of performance your team needs. Cost-wise, it can save money in the long run, but keeping an eye on usage is key to not blowing the budget For me it works so you can try it -
Nowadays, it feels like we're bombarded with news about new ransomware attacks almost daily. Just look at how many ransomware there are: https://www.salvagedata.com/blog/ransomware-awareness/. The digital world is both a marvel and a minefield. We truly live in an era where cybersecurity professionals are the unsung heroes, working behind the scenes to keep our digital lives secure.

Have you thought about implementing additional security measures, such as regular audits or third-party security assessments, to ensure your systems are adequately protected?

If you're looking for a simple solution, a new projector might be the best bet. It's a great option to get started, and you can always upgrade to an interactive board later when your budget allows

I used it before during quarantine for controlling my streaming software and smart lights. Now that I'm not home as much, I don't have much reason to use it anymore

At home, I clean my keyboard twice a week using wipes. It's quick and easy. It helps to prevent the buildup of germs and bacteria, which I can't stand. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac. At my office in Lafayette, I don't have to worry about cleaning my keyboard myself. We've hired a cleaning company that takes care of it as part of their daily routine. It's reassuring to know that the keyboards in the office are being cleaned regularly, especially in a shared workspace where germs can easily spread. The company we hired is Going Green and they also clean the desks, including the monitors. Perfect for my hypochondria.

Well, if SMS to email doesn't work well for you, you can try and use online SMS verification tools. These can also help you solve your clogging problem. I can recommend AnonymSMS for 2FA. I've used it a few times to get codes from some sites where I didn't want to use my phone number. It worked fast and the best thing is that it's completely free.

I have the DELL G15, which's price starts at around $700 for a basic model with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics, and can go up to $1,500 or more for higher-end configurations with AMD Ryzen 7 processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics.

The trailer looks too good to be true. I hope it's not a big disappointment
