Any good? I've never seen it but have access to the DVDs if I want to watch it.

It is the 'business editions' that is needed for Windows 10 Education. It hasn't been listed as an update for just Windows 10 Education since... 1703.

As you said, logins are handled securely, they have been for some time. They are currently in the middle of a migration to a new site, so a little bit fruitless if they go back to the old and update it only to delay moving to a new platform especially when they have outline the issues in that on previous threads.

Amen... and thanks @Dos_Box for spelling that out, I know all you work damn hard to make this community the best you can and don't know the meaning of the word slacking. Personally I think @ZeroHour needs a go fund me page for all the Irn Bru he had to buy to sort most of this migration out!

I refer to this as the new site. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/gaming/186223-edugeek-discord-live-chat-server.html

I have found that interrogating the computer at the boot stage doesn't always provide the right... or sometimes any... screen resolution data... as I also put a custom wallpaper on login I used a script that would write the data to a location in the registry that can be used on bootup as well. More information can be found here... https://github.com/DJ-1701/GenerateWallpaper

Ruckus equipment has been extremely reliable, the Primary I work at got theirs via @Net-Ctrl, who have been brilliant. Though we have the older hardware controller, I believe the VM controller is a subscription based model. I will say that a lot of people on Edugeek here also praise Ubiquiti, which has a controller you can install on a server. @DalekSec I believe knows more on this.

I would think it would be a better idea to look at how long they have updates for in this modern world of always connected equipment and base it on that.

@chazzy2501 Well, it must be blocked by the filtering for some reason, as I allowed the following and the page loads fine. *.bing.com:*ment* It would be worth looking at the Browsing Reports to see if there are any reasons for past blocks of the page.

Even more interesting... if I shorten the word to ments it won't load... if I just take any letter out of ments it will... so document will load... but ments will not.

Interesting... I can't see why it wouldn't load, no block page, no deny showing, but, yes, SWGfL connection tried and getting the same as you see. Home connection absolutely fine.

If anyone who has a mail relay wants a script they can schedule to find out if there has been a new general release in the last two days, here you go... # Mail relay settings (The local server configured to send an e-mail). $SMTPSERVER = "IP4AddressOrDNSName" $MAILFROM = "Account Name Here " $MAILTO = "[email protected]" $OneDriveWebpage = Invoke-WebRequest https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/onedrive-release-notes-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0 $StrangeSpace = [char] 0x00A0 $WebpageContent = $OneDriveWebpage.Content -replace $StrangeSpace, " " If ($WebpageContent -match "Download OneDrive for Windows - Version \d{1,5}.\d{1,5}.\d{1,5}.\d{1,5} [(]" + (Get-Date).AddMonths(0).AddDays(0).tostring(“MMMM dd, yyyy"))` -or ($WebpageContent -match "Download OneDrive for Windows - Version \d{1,5}.\d{1,5}.\d{1,5}.\d{1,5} [(]" + (Get-Date).AddMonths(0).AddDays(-1).tostring(“MMMM dd, yyyy")) { Send-MailMessage -To "$MAILTO" -From "$MAILFROM" -Subject "Possible OneDrive Update Available" -Body "Please check https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/onedrive-release-notes-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0 to see if OneDrive updates are available." -SmtpServer "$SMTPSERVER" } [/Code] Script also uploaded to GitHub, if I make any future amendments I will make them there. https://github.com/DJ-1701/Update-Checker-for-OneDrive

Thanks for letting me know, it should work now, appears to be the old attachment issue where it works perfectly for the poster, admins/mods usually report it works for them, but for the members, nada, so reuploaded.

Interesting... as you remember... But if the behaviour of the shutdown from Windows itself has change from previous versions as it may have from your forced powered off test, and if there is a way to get Windows to perform a similar safe shutdown, that would be brilliant...

As we have been looking at using OneDrive instead of a network share for storing student documents. I thought I would share our settings. OneDrive Machine and User Policies.zip There are some items I would address though. Yes, I know OneDrive Known Folders are a thing... but basically... they are naff... you have got to allow users to be able to change where the folders are redirected to if you have originally denied them access to this, they only set redirection for Desktop, Documents and Pictures... and they don't always seem to be able to do that, after an attempt, which might not be successful to redirect the locations, it is marked in the registry as done. In testing it has been a far greater success rate doing it yourself with folder redirection. Yes, I know there is a redirect for the local profile path, or you could type %UserProfile%... but unfortunately any path you put under the local profile path will be ignored by Group Policy and the folders will just be redirected to %UserProfile%\Documents instead of your chosen path of %UserProfile%\OneDrive - School\Documents. This same behaviour happens if you type in this path or select the local profile and is why a variable for OneDrive is used. Do not prevent access to C Drive in explorer. This is needed for OneDrive access to function. If you don't have older versions of OneDrive installed (aka Groove and the old OneDrive for Business) you can get away with using %OneDrive% instead of adding the new %OneDriveSync% variable, but speaking with @Arcolite, the built in %OneDrive% variable seems a bit inconsistent depending when the client logs in, so you might want to use the custom variable anyway. If you are having issues with the client not syncing, ensure you don't have some really old policies setup for 'SkyDrive' to be disabled, I have seen them interfere in previous versions. A few of our schools have discovered that our OneDrive clients don't seem to want to automatically update during testing. Maybe yours won't have an issue, maybe Microsoft will or have fixed it in later releases, but just in case... as we use the All Users installation of OneDrive, I have create a bunch of scripts that once we find there is an update we need to deploy, we can set it up to deploy this at the logon screen and try and prevent the user from logging in until it's installed. The installer is set to remove all old versions of OneDrive and install the latest one from the OneDriveSetup.exe you provide. These can be found here: https://github.com/DJ-1701/LogonScreenInstaller

I can see one response being... 'But there is a seat for non-teaching, it's the PA taking the minutes.'

Just to say that I had to install Notebook 11.4 recently and it appeared to work, stated activated... just like in my offline test last month... will update if something happens and it suddenly isn't.

Damn... he had some great hits... Chi Mai... Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo...

It was a great show... but be warned, it was cancelled at the end of Season 3.

Well, technically you can take Windows 10S out of Store only mode... just you can't put it back into Store only mode.

A lot of iOS apps would be a pain to use though if the Mac itself didn't have touch screen. Anyone want to hazard a guess if they will add one to the Mac? Or will there be some annoyed people buying the Macs and then finding out it's not got a touch screen.

Entered... what iPad is that?

As the others have said, it would be better, and easier using Group Policy Preferences... but if you are determined to go down that route, the syntax for a bat file would be... If Not Exist "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Internet Explorer.lnk" Copy "\\Server\Share$\Internet Explorer.lnk" "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Internet Explorer.lnk" [/Code] It would also be easier to do that as a computer startup script, rather than login, as that should have the right access permissions.

Stray is by far the most appealing game to me from those shown to me, but looks like it will be on PS4 as well. Never played Ratchet and Clank, but looks interesting... even if I do keep on thinking of Ratchet as the ever smart and cool Rescue Ranger...

Or if you would prefer not to hear random sounds in the background due to Twitch follows, etc... the official PlayStation channel link is here...
