It doesn't. Its hard to explain as it makes no sense 🤪 ageGroup cannot be set in AD, it can only be set via Entra. If the account is cloud only the changes work instantly, if the account is AD based it can take a few days for the change to kick in. Why? Good question, you are using cloud based tools that are authenticating via Entra so the fact that the account is managed via AD should make no difference at all, yet for some reason after a few days it will just work. It drove us mad trying to get this to work, months of trying different things all appearing to make no difference at all, we would even leave it over night and no change following morning, then for no reason and when all the settings would say it shouldn't work it would start working, couple hours later it wouldn't be working again. Documentation on this is very poor, chatgpt was what tipped us off to the up to 7 days though cant seem to track a source for it. We ran the script before a half term, when kids came back it was all working

Way we have done it is PowerShell script, students are in a security group for their intake year so we set everyone in that group to NotAdult which worked for us, then set new users manually which isn't ideal Import-Module ActiveDirectory Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Users $GroupDN = "CN=groupname ,OU=,DC=," $adUsers = Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $GroupDN -Recursive | Where-Object { $_.objectClass -eq 'user' } | ForEach-Object { Get-ADUser $_.DistinguishedName -Properties UserPrincipalName, SamAccountName } foreach ($adUser in $adUsers) { $upn = $adUser.UserPrincipalName if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($upn)) { Write-Warning "Skipping $($adUser.SamAccountName) - no UPN" continue } try { Update-MgUser -UserId $upn -AgeGroup "NotAdult" Write-Host "Updated $upn" } catch { Write-Warning "Failed for $upn" } }

Do you have active directory running on a DC? If so it can take up to a week for ages to sync correctly even though you have set it up in Azure. This drove us to the point of insanity before we found it

That HP don't exist anymore, they shifted all switches to Aruba (who they own) around 2015 and then recently renamed Aruba to HPE Networking (which is what they were originally called). Effectively the lifetime warranty program ended when they shifted everything over to Aruba, they still honour the warranty but as only if they have stock and its unlikely these days that you will get like for like and only be offered whatever refurb units they have on the shelf at the time

They aren't slowing down production, they are shifting production. Micron for example have killed the Crucial brand in order to shift production for enterprise components used in data centres. Ram production is set to increase over the next couple of years but the stargate project by OpenAI, Oracle and Softbank is expected to use 40% of all production, and thats just one AI project!

Got the same this morning, but has a different name on it along with a matching yahoo address -
Its the Google tactic, when someone comes along with a better product you buy them out then kill it

Looked after child (along with her brother), lives with grandparents one of which has dementia and their grandmother also has to look after a disabled daughter. When they get in trouble she does turn wifi off their devices though is an alcoholic and often passed out by 8pm so they just take the phone and remove the block. There is a tonne of safeguarding red flags that school are just ignoring but as they have a roof over their head, are fed and not abused I don't want to be the asshole that breaks up a family. All can do is try and be positive role model for them and they do behave a bit better around me and my partner

My partners niece has been suspended 5 times this year for truancy and each time ben found in a toilet cubical with multiple other students. Most of the time turns up late for the class, after 5 minutes asks to go to the toilet and then never goes back. Its clear she is vaping, its clear the other students are vaping, they are all different year groups so there is definitely some organisation yet the school doesn't have a vaping problem. Nobody wants her vaping, but what can you do when the school turns a blind eye and refuses to do anything. The toilets are open plan, with a security camera pointing right into it yet nobody is noticing groups of 4 or 5 girls going into the same cubical. They are also the same students getting caught so why are they still allowed to leave lesson when its clear they aren't coming back

I don't see where the hate for the card is coming from. I am building a PC for my nephew and aiming to be as cheap as possible, at the moment looking at £930 with a 5060TI 16GB. For a 1440p gaming machine on a budget I cant see a better card available at the moment. As for the original question have you thought about an I5-13400F? £170 at the moment new and probably get away with same motherboard

Educational cutbacks following latest govt announcement
Bumhug360 replied to C3PO's topic in MIS Systems
My partners nephew had some homework set. For art, create a tiki image board on 1 page of A4, has to be handed in and has to be in colour. The homework was posted in Teams, it serves no purpose at all to print it out when it could just be uploaded to teams, its not just the printing costs you also have to pay to get stuff disposed of, teacher is going to spend 30 seconds looking at it and its going in the bin. -
Your .wim file is the problem, need to recreate it. Did you change any options with Rufus? Could be those are conflicting with the sysprepped file

Had a rule setup so all edugeek emails went to a folder, this morning due to the wording changed in the email subjects my inbox was bombarded (I had 3) with notifications of replies. I am outraged (slightly inconvenienced) that I have had to change the rule and will be posting on social media (already forgotten about it) on how this has disrupted my work day! I am also old and don't like change so there is that as well (looks good, great work)

I feel the John Wick reveal would have been better left to the movie rather than the trailer, but I guess it was a hard sell without him

I discovered job simulators over Christmas. It started with TGC Card Shop simulator which is still in early access so still a few more features to add. Then moved on to Gas Station simulator, then House Flipper which even played through all the DLC, then House Flipper 2 and at the moment PC Building Simulator 2 which admittedly is me just doing a virtual version of my day job for recreation but it did get me back into building PCs proper. My steam wishlist at the moment is full of them, need to roll a dice to see what I try next I want to get into Elite Dangerous again, played on PC many years ago but switched to Xbox version out of convenience. Now the console version is abandoned wanted to get back into the PC version but I am other side of the galaxy with a 35 light year jump drive and I really cant remember which key does what and no longer have my hotas. Got a new 9070XT the other week so playing through Cyberpunk 2077 again as that just looks gorgeous

How do you...stop staff from emailing the wrong person!
Bumhug360 replied to Netwacky87's topic in How do you do....it?
We have a student at a 6th form in the trust that has the same name as a deputy head at a high school, you can see where this is going... Student email addresses are all @trustname.uk Staff email addresses are all @schoolname.org.uk In this case the first names in display name are different, student has a shortened version staff has the full version(say Sam and Samantha) This wasnt on purpose was just how it was requested Student started getting emails shortly after the staff member joined so display name was set to Sam Smith (SCHOOL INITIALS) and Samantha Smith (SCHOOL INITIALS) No good still happened Tooltip was added that put up a message to inform anyone sending to the student that it was a student address at the school they were at. Nope still doing it This was communicated to the staff several times and yet the same staff kept doing it, so that got reported to HR to deal with. The breaking point though was when confidential redundancy information was sent from the head account Now put a mail rule into exchange that blocks all email from that schools domain to the student, with a snarky bounce back message. Which works in this situation but if they were at the same school wouldn't really be an option so would be interested to see what gets suggested as no doubt going to run into this in the future! -

Be aware you will need a lot of free space on the C drive of the machine you are running it on (150GB minimum seems to be a good place to start) when going the csv route as it creates lots of temporary files. Have used it loads of times and never had an issue so would certainly recommend

Depends what version of Chrome you are using, as of today manifest v2 is still working on current release, some versions of chrome though (think stable release) are starting to display a warning that it will stop working soon, and think a dev build that came out last week had it disabled completely
