Ok, so testing with OneDrive on a couple machines we have a Group Policy that is rolled out, both machines have the latest version of OneDrive installed. Group Policy has been set for the machines for the following: Exclude specific kinds of files from being uploaded - Enabled desktop*.ini Hide the "Deleted files are removed everywhere" reminder - Enabled Both of these settings have actually applied to the machines as per RSoP, both of the policies can be seen as set in the policy registry keys as they should be. On machine 1, we get a perfect blocking of uploading any file matching desktop*.ini from uploading, even creating new ones deliberately they are automatically stopped from uploading, excellent. Though still getting prompted when deleting files in OneDrive with the 'Deleted files are removed everywhere prompt', drat. On machine 2 though, once any desktop*.ini files are created, the files upload every time, drat. Also when deleting files this machine also still prompts when deleting files in OneDrive with the 'Deleted files are removed everywhere prompt', double drat. Anyone else had these little oddies or got any ideas?

Out of interest how come there is an increase of £142 per month between the indicative price cost of 20TB (£460/M) and 21TB (£602/M) as shown on the tool on the website?

Good luck with that one... we had issues in the past with the value being changed from default, even the name of the devices being changed to something rude and they are listed as unique device names. In the end we just set a powershell startup script for the workstation which backs up the current sound settings and restores them each time. Note though that if you are adding speakers to a device you need to delete the SoundCheck.reg file, plug the speakers in and then reboot, otherwise it might not believe you have speakers connected on next startup. $RegEdit = "C:\Windows\regedit.exe" # Protect Audio Settings from Manipulation. If (Test-Path ("C:\Windows\SoundCheck.reg")) { &$RegEdit /s "C:\Windows\SoundCheck.reg" } Else { &$RegEdit /E "C:\Windows\SoundCheck.reg" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio" }

What about... Doctors?

Using the AD proxy for SurfProtect Quantum and the page is loading fine for me.

I tried to reverse it out to take the safer route... it gave me a false collision.

That would depend if you have any Group Policies or other custom settings rolled out to the machines to point them to save things to another location. For example when I changed ours I had to amend the download directory for Google Chrome and Edge to point to the OneDrive downloads folder. Also had to change the autosave location for Office since that was set to the share. Other than that should be fine to remove the home folder mapping.

I think one may have been missing from my box. If found please let me know.

Bet it's RM Education PLC t/a RM Education Ltd [Tag = RMPLC] as part of the Internet for Learning.

I ate my sweets too quickly to post pics.

Oh dear, the Queen of Socks needs replacement socks?

Well I confirmed at another school that one does trigger the Restricted Moderate mode. So no 'Restriction Mode' enabled, fun.

Do you deploy with Solus? If so you can just double click the man in the box on the system tray, select the Applications tab on the Solus 3 Agent Notifier and tell it to look for updates. If there are none it should ask you if you would like to reinstall.

That's what we are all here for.

I am trying to see if YouTube is currently being filtered and need a link that is only denied in both Restriction Strict and Restriction Moderate mode. I have been kindly provided this link which I only know is blocked in Restricted Strict mode which we can access, but if anyone that uses Restriction Moderate who could provide me with a blocked link that would be great to see if that at least is in place. Many thanks.

Also... what was that tech thinking?

There is a group policy you can set to prevent this... https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/137703-blacklist-whitelist-wireless-networks-via-group-policy

When running reports a few users have discovered that old data is being referenced, I have found that clearing out these two locations before SIMS and Excel are opened allows SIMS and Office to generate the reports correctly. %UserProfile%\Documents\tempSimsRpt %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\OfficeFileCache Now, I was going to make a script to wipe these folders on login, but... we have OneDrive syncing the Documents folder, so any changes stored in OneDrive will be pulled down when loading SIMS. I was wondering if there was any way to prevent a certain folder such as the tempSimRpt from being uploaded into OneDrive in the same way that certain file types can be prevented. Any ideas?

If anything is disabled for Setting Page Visibility, this might be done on the Computer Policy as it took Microsoft a while to realise that people would want to restrict settings based on the user... not just the machine.

As you are new to Group Policy and not knowing your infrastructure and how many GPOs you have, it might be worth going to the bottom of Group Policy Management right clicking on Group Policy Results, run the Wizard on the Machine and User, and after it completes going into Settings and looking at the User Configuration. It should tell you what policies are applied to them and where they are applied. You can then make a judgement of if you want to change the policy for all users or create a new one targeted for just that one. Please note if you create a new policy the higher the rank (i.e. Rank 1) applies last and has the last word on what the setting should be set at.

Not since I had corrected surgery after some work by that quack first Doctor...

Oh and I suppose the camera was operated via the feet?

Well that screenshot certainly seems to suggest that it's a different option for one, and from what you are saying it sounds like settings elsewhere can conflict... so certainly worth checking with our ISP if they can put me thought to someone who knows more about this. Cheers.
