Happy St. George's Day! Wait... is that the day when George the Dragon fought The Black Knight, and the knight kept on losing but stating 'it's only a flesh wound'?

For those who have got this working, but it keeps trying to launch in your default browser which either a) isn't Edge, or Google Chrome, or b) you don't want it to auto-launch the browser, just have it running in the background.

It's meant to have multiple ways of using it. I also installed it on my Windows 10 PC, and it works fine for me. It *should* be able to connect to Server 2016, as it would have Dot Net 4.5 and WMF 5 installed.

Did someone tell them a couple of Edugeek members would be there?

Done... though I do like Monkeys.

You do realise it would be faster for you to test this yourself... you have your questions... you have the contact details for some random sample schools for a test run...

Also with the request for 'volunteers', it would be for £0.00. Something comes to mind...

So far we have had a visit a few days ago from SG World. Looking at the system, it looks good. Unfortunately still waiting on the quote being sent through though. I bet with regard to GDPR they are a tad busy though.

Me? I'm always a little bit Pedantic, a little bit Devils advocate... mostly just a pain... but anyway I'm not specifically talking about this recent one that we have been discussing in the other topic, but FOI in general. How do you know, you can only go by the information you are given and if that is nothing but questions, one can rightly assume they did mean sex and not gender... because that's what they asked for.

I believe you are talking about Rachel Dolezal.

I depends entirely on what they are using the data for, it's not up to staff to interpret badly phrased questions. As a past colleague once said to me, never assume, it makes an a$$ out of u and me. Just because people say it, doesn't mean it is correct, nor natually understood by everyone that they mean something else.

I think it's a point to clearly identify something here. Gender and Sex are not interchangeable. Gender is identity and Sex is genetics. The word gender is used for correctly respecting and addressing someone, the word sex is used for medical and biological reasons.

The Doctor, Professor, Reverend and Vicar don't agree. Can be shown to use gender or sex, they can also show status, you can also use the Mx title.

The section of WinWaitActive where you have placed the 3 is the timeout to check if the Window Exists, if the Window is detected before the 3 seconds are up it will immediately jump to the next command, if it does not it will just continue with the command after the 3 seconds. Using WinWaitActive the way I did with no time out, will keep it waiting until the Window loads, so if the machine is being very slow for some reason, it won't jump too far ahead of itself. Both of the solutions are correct , I used to do it my way as it was clearer (at least to me ). Though you don't actually need the AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2) if you use the pattern matching expression.

Nice to see someone else who dabbles with AutoIT here. This code should work with AutoIT to make a complied EXE, but might want to change the domain name and test first. ; Don't display an icon in the System Tray, otherwise people can click it to pause or end the script. #NoTrayIcon ; Set the E-mail Domain. $Domain = "domain.com" ; Open Microsoft Edge at Outlook 365 signin page. Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'start microsoft-edge:https://outlook.office.com/owa/?realm=' & $Domain, "", @SW_HIDE) ; Set Window Title Matching Mode for String within String. AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2) ; Wait until a window with Microsoft Edge in the title has loaded and is the active Window. WinWaitActive("Microsoft Edge") ; Wait 3 seconds for page to load. Sleep(3000) ; Type the logged on user's username, the @ symbol and e-mail domain name. Send(@UserName & '@' & $Domain)

What?! Of course it's flat... what do you think it is? Round?! Ha, that would be amusing! Taken from my Satellite, I give you Exhibit A...

Hmmm, having fun trying to access a Non-Domain machine with Windows Admin Center, coming up with the following message: WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that the computer is accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled and allows access from this computer. By default, the WinRM firewall exception for public profiles limits access to remote computers within the same local subnet. I have enabled incoming Windows Remote Management requests for the machine on Private connections, and it is in the same subnet, but still no joy. Anyone else had this, or got any ideas?

Untick, Retick, OK without closing the Window appears to do it. How very odd! Cheers.

Oh, and this is what one of our MDT servers has got in it's rules, which we use to deploy Windows 7 as well: UserLocale=en-GB SystemLocale=en-GB UIlanguage=en-US KeyboardLocale=0809:00000809 TimeZoneName=GMT Standard Time

Have you downloaded the English International version? That one works for me rather than the one that just says English (which is the US version).

That's very interesting... as I have that ticked by default for the UK, and don't see any.

Some of us may have a little nostalgia for those days. Any word on Program Manager?

Interestingly the only Wetherspoon tweets I have seen were negative... so as such I have the feeling that they just want to shut out bad press more than anything else. Don't think that will work though.

This thread? http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-server-2012/192710-protect-file-server-against-ransomware.html There is a hyperlink in it to a script in the Technet Gallery using FSRM.

Not in the Primary School, no, just a single FTTC connection. We do have Fibre and an ADSL in the Secondary School though.
