We have just recently switched to VirtualBox after previously using VirtualPC. What is the best way to replace and update the VHD for multiple workstations? FYI, we have immutable disks. Thanks

Questions: - Where is the Processor based? - Where is the personal data stored? - Who can access the data? - Does the Processor have a data protection officer? - Does the Processor inform the School before it transfers data elsewhere? - Does the Processor transfer data outside of the EEA? If so, where and why? - What controls does the Processor have in place to reduce risk and what are their risk management processes? - Does the Processor have security breach notifications in place? - Does the Processor use any sub-processors (including server or application hosts)? If so, who and for what purposes? - Can the Processor comply with all of the Data Subject rights, including the right to be forgotten? - Can the Processor provide copies of its Data Protection Policy and Privacy Notice?

Hi All, I currently work for a Academy who have purchased the latest Adobe Creative Cloud with Shared Device Licensing. We have however hit a bit of a stumbling block as we have been in touch with the MAT's Data Protection Officer and they have sent us a list of questions we need to answer as part of a Data Processor Due-Diligence Checklist. I have been in contact with our re-sellers and also Adobe directly who have both provided me with links to answer common GDPR queries. However, the information contained within the links doesn't particularly give a straight forward answer with regards to some of the questions asked by the DPO. Does anyone on here have any experience approaching the GDPR side of things? I'll post the questions being asked below on a separate post. Many Thanks Davey

Hi, The Academy I work at are currently using Windows 10 Education 1803. I've been doing a bit of background reading and apparently, 19H2 / 1909 is going to be available as a cumulative update rather than a full on feature update. If our WSUS servers were left as default to not install Feature Updates, would this also apply to the supposed cumulative update containing 19H2 / 1909? Cheers Dave

Hello,Looking to take the plunge and setup my own home lab to try and gain some new experiences and learn things that I wouldn't normally get the chance to learn on a day to day basis.Basically, I'm looking to setup a home lab to cover the following and just wondering how you folks did it. Not after a puppy walk as such and currently reading up about things online (part of the fun I suppose) but more so advice in terms of the required hardware, software etc. - Networking - Virtualisation - Storage - Windows Server (AD, GPO, DCHP, DNS and the rest..........) In terms of hardware / software (left some out as I'm a bit unsure of what route to go down), I know that I will need the following: - Router (already supplied for Home Broadband unless I need another one!) - Switches (got a tonne of old ones at work in the store) - Software / OS (Should be covered by MS for evaluation copies etc, just wondering what route to go down for Hypervisor software and maybe backups and AV)In terms of the actual Hardware to host the Hypervisor and OS, I'm looking to go down the bare-metal route for the Hypervisor to Virtually host my servers. What hardware would you folks recommend for this? What else would you's recommend for backups? Many thanks for taking the time to read this and apologies if I come across as a bit daft. Just very keen to look into it and hopefully, start learning and experimenting. All the best! Dave

Hi, We can't use AppLocker as we have Professional rather an Enterprise.

Hello,I've been looking into implementing Software Restriction Policies via Computer Configuration and it seems OK. I've included a Disallow All rule with it being applied to All Users Except Local Administrators. However, I do have a problem where if I add another user solely to the 'Administrators' group via Computer Management, that particular user is actually blocked from running executables. I have tried it both via our Domain (in a test environment) as well as locally (machine not joined or previously joined to a domain) via Computer Management (including creating a local user and Local Group Policy) but to no avail. This is what I've found: - Can run .exe files as Administrator by right clicking (fine with that). - Blocked from running .BAT files.- Blocked from running .VBS files. - Blocked from running .MSI files. - Can only run executables within the white listed locations. I have however found a workaround by changing the following setting: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options >>> UAC: Run All Administrators In Admin Approval Mode = Enabled > Disabled Are there any implications of doing it this way? Is there a more recommended method to use or would it be better to simply just use the built-in Administrator account if needing to do stuff locally? Many Thanks David

Would certainly look into Applocker but doesn't work with Windows 7 Professional unfortunately. Only enterprise or ultimate editions.

Good Evening, I'm looking to implement some software retriction policies on our network. Our clients are Windows 7 SP1 pro and DC is Server 2012 R2. Basically, is it better to deploy SRPs via user policy or computer policy? Also, what would be the recommended path / hash rules to put in place to allow certain things to run if we go down the route of disallowing everything in the first instance? Many Thanks David

Cheers for the advice. That is something that I've actually been considering. Might save up a few pennies here and there then buy some kit in later down the line.

Hello, I've been currently serving as an ICT Technician for nearly 4 year this coming August. I served an 18 month apprenticeship and gained a Level 3 qualification. As a result, I'm now in a position where I'm looking to move on but, these are the most common stumbling blocks when it comes to vacancies: * SCCM and or MDT experience required * Understanding of DHCP / DNS required * Understanding of TCP /IP and LAN/WAN required The situation that I've been in is that my role has been a more a 'jack of all trades' role where I can do various bits and bobs but haven't had the opportunity to specialise or gain a deeper understanding of any of the above barring doing the odd thing here and there. What would be the best way to go about gaining more experience in the above or perhaps start studying it as such. I know that I'd have as much chance of getting funded for training by my current place as a 100/1 shot winning the upcoming Grand National. I know that there's a barrier to SCCM / MDT as such due to the fact that we only currently make use of WDS, Group Policy and Active Directory for the majority of our work. Are there any books, courses or safe forms of self-study without bringing things to a standstill that I could perhaps look into to help improve my skill set?

Hello Folks, I'm currently in the process of working towards creating a new installation of Windows 7 with a lot more refinement than now from both computer / user side. I'm in the process of creating a test base image on a workstation for part of the project above and although I do have some experience with WSUS, I'm unsure of the following. If a 'new' target computer group is created to place the test workstation in as specified by a .REG file (not permanently, just don't want any aforementioned updates being mixed with live workstations plus the reference machine is not on our domain), will the target computer group inherit whether or not updates have been approved or declined as for the main target computer group? Cheers Davey

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone could help with the following. I'm trying to run this script below to complete a silent uninstall and then restart the workstation only once the uninstall has been completed. But what is happening is when the script has been run, the uninstaller doesn't run and the workstation proceeds to shut down subsequently not completing the uninstall before doing so despite adding the && as suggested from various sources on the web. if exist "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Shockwave 12\SwHelper_1224194.exe" (Start /wait "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Shockwave 12\uninstaller.exe" /S) && "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" /r /t 00 Cheers Davey

Do you whereabouts the tool could be found to try and fix this?

Hello Psydill, The MAC Address wasn't specified in the registry or LAN adapter settings but was copied over for some reason or another when the image was captured.
