Hi all I'm looking to replace some server hard drives for larger capacities (4tb+). What's the word on the street for the best manufacturers/models these days? Looking at both 2.5 and 3.5 sizes. Thanks

Who got it today and who is really enjoying it? Really makes me mad that these kind of releases are getting few and far between.

Pretty much this

Cheers, I found a similar one here MFA Registration from Trusted Location - risual

Hi all Don't know if I'm just overthinking this... For those who have yet to setup MFA for whatever reason, I want to block their access outside of school. At the moment, I have it set where if you are logging in in school, MFA is not required. If you try to log in outside of school, MFA is required. However, for those who have yet to setup MFA, its asking them to set it up for the first time. I want this blocked unless they are in school (trusted location). Anyone know what I mean and can help? I'm trying to get my head around CA as its not like a firewall where I can just deny all etc. Thanks

Getting parental reports that students having issues logging into School Synergy. Contacted their support, who are usually swift, but heard nothing back so far..

Yeah the certificates are definitely in the root trust and had them before the old one ran out. I've back to PEAP using the same cert and it all works fine. I've also noticed that there's no issue with this on Windows 11 but Windows 10 only gives this error. Just going to stick to PEAP for now and move to cert when I move everyone to Windows 11 over the next few months.

Hi all Bit of an odd one. Moved over to certificate based authentication for radius on Windows Server. Brand new/recent/new-ish imaged laptops pick up the cert/gpo update fine and connect to Wi-Fi. These machines are getting the cert through a PDQ package as there's a Microsoft article saying sending the cert out via GPO is broke? Anyway Long standing laptops are struggling, mostly with "Reason Code: 295 Reason: A certification chain processed correctly, but one of the CA certificates is not trusted by the policy provider." Now I've been through the affected laptops, checked certs, checked NTauth and they have the same certs as the other laptops that connect fine. Anyone else know whether there's another cache or check that can be made to get these laptops to connect? I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Any one seen this or can help? Thanks

I thought it was awful and Disney need to completely rethink how they produce these shows.

We currently do things on prem, using MDT/WDS/PDQ to push out deployments, updates etc and no matter how I look at MECM/Intune/Autopilot for a purely cloud based setup, the process is simply not as streamlined and smooth as I have it now, but I'm being forced to look at these things because Windows 11 is not supported by MDT. The only advantage I can see with having devices enrolled in Intune is so you can then do conditional access policies, that's about it. The actual deployment and update side seem almost antiquated. Depending on a trust move, like @foofighterjim says, we may even go to Chromebooks for that side of things if we truly wanted a cloud device setup.

If in doubt, gpupdate /force and restart 3 or 4 times. Seemed to have cracked it.

Yeah that's the first thing I did. I just don't get a consistent experience though.

I followed the guide above but now I get "Can't connect because the sign-in requirements for your device and the network aren't compatible" Getting a bit frustrated with this and Windows 11. Windows 10 works fine but obviously that's on the non-cert authentication.

I have been playing with MECM for the last month or so and it feels so antiquated. How does anyone use this?? My current method of MDT+PDQ gets systems sorted with very little involvement. This feels like its adding overcomplicating my current process and it's starting to irritate me. Looked into Intune but didn't get anywhere really. It just doesn't feel very user friendly or intuitive. I'm conscious about having to continue with MDT because I feel we're a monthly CU away from it being ditched all together.

What issue are you seeing with parentpay? I can log in but not tried a payment this morning.

Backups is one of those where you get what you pay for. I've moved from DPM to Veeam in the last year and its been brilliant.

We just have a rolling programme of refurbs and we've just replaced the last room so now everywhere is completely Windows 11 compatible.

It's currently in the hands of some level of support beyond 1st. Old S8 worked fine, this new S9 box won't work the same way, even with the migrated settings. Also just had to rearrange a call because no one rung me. It's not great really.

What is the average login time for a local profile for a student on Windows 11 these days?

What do you do if you have to re-image? Keep a note of the keys used?

This where I'm finding confusion, I think CSP and EES have different capabilities when it comes to these keys. I've reached out to our potential supplier but heard noting back yet.

If its MAK keys thats fine as that is what we do already. Do you get a quantity given on the volume portal? My concern was when it came to re-imaging, as I'd heard you needed some sort of base activation on the windows install already before the A3 user logs in.

I clean the system of previous Teams first $Apps = Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "*Teams*" }FOREACH ($App in $Apps) {Remove-AppxPackage -Package $App.PackageFullName} then either teamsbootstrapper.exe -p if downloading from online is not a problem or locally teamsbootstrapper.exe -p -o "c:\Teams2024\MSTeams-x64.msix"
