  1. Haven't actually tested this but could it be GPOs?: Computer > Admin Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft User Experience Virtualization > Do Not Synchronize Windows Apps = Disabled Computer > Admin Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft User Experience Virtualization > Synchronize Windows Settings > Roaming Credentials Might be worth double checking what's set for these?
  2. If anyone else is trying to achieve similar but doesn't want to install software, it's only a few lines in Powershell. To make files a set length by adding required number of leading zeros: $Files = Get-ChildItem -Path E:\Temp\Test -File $MaxLength = 6 $Files | ForEach-Object { $Name = $_.BaseName Do { $Name = $('0'+$Name).ToString() } While($Name.length -lt $Maxlength) Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName "$Name$($_.Extension)" } Or to add a set number of leading zeros regardless of file name length: $Files = Get-ChildItem -Path E:\Temp\Test -File $ZerosToAdd = 4 $Files | ForEach-Object { $Name = $('0' * $ZerosToAdd)+$_.BaseName Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName "$Name$($_.Extension)" }
  3. No problem. Glad you've got it sorted! I battled with this for ages before I realised I was doing it wrong and that as it is a VM I don't need system state anyway. Fingers crossed it will be stable and working tomorrow morning. I had a few occasions where I thought I'd cracked it and was badly mistaken though! After I posted I realised I'd explained the cluster node bit badly too. Just for the benefit of any others reading this I backed up VMs by expanding the cluster name and choosing the VMS from within. In the management console they will show as ServerName.ClusterName.DomainName.
  4. Had something similar to this when trying to back up system state on 2012r2 hyper-v VMs, the VMs were part of a failover cluster so in the end I changed it to back up the VM vhdx instead under the cluster name. Then just protected any worthwhile data separately avoiding system state. I know it struggles with system state on Hyper-V VMs with or without the clustering. Used to fail all the time.
  5. Would definitely recommend an MFD contract. We went from 25+ ancient HP 4200 and 4100 printers and some M401dne's PLUS a set of 4 contracted Toshiba MFDs to a single lease contract of 14 Kyocera printers with Papercut through Alto Digital. Previously I'd be repairing printers on a weekly basis whenever they decided to shred their fusers. Ordering toner is also a thing of the past. I actually (sadly) love telling cold callers I don't order toner anymore. Papercut is one of those software gems where everything works perfectly and it does everything you could ever wish. Cannot find any faults with it at all. MFD integration is also excellent. It's worth every penny. I'd also recommend Kyocera for MFDs and desktops but I am biased and wouldn't have anything else personally. As a technician I used to fix much older ones and (again sadly) developed a love for them. With Papercut wastage will nosedive as people become much more conscious of what they are printing and they have to release the jobs. It's pretty much win-win-win.
  6. Yes should have mentioned that, the 4GB is ok for us as I only sync updates for a few products (Office,Windows,Server, SCEP etc). If you sync more product updates you may need to increase the value. When it next syncs watch the IIS worker process to see if it's still hitting the limit.
  7. I've had something similar recently after recreating the software update point. If the wsus pool is in the stopped state it's likely hit its memory limit whilst syncing, and causes this error. Go into the wsus pool advanced settings and change the "private memory limit" under recycling to 4000000kb. When the sync runs you can monitor its memory usage under "IIS Worker Process" our SCCM topped out at about 3.5gb so this was enough to prevent the pool from stopping.
  8. Nope sorry, still 7 here. Will be doing it next year I think....
  9. No problem, it was lucky I stumbled across this thread! I used the registry key in the previous post in a GPO with item level targeting for teacher PCs then advised staff that they will have to manually start SMARTInk if they want to use the board. No complaints so far.
  10. Also 11.4 - exactly the same for us. It can't have been update related either as it was outside of the normal window to blame updates for us. I can only presume MS changed something in the Outlook Online site which now doesn't play nice. We are stuck on 11.4 due to the age of some of the boards and there is no way i'm paying to replace them
  11. I've had the same issue last week, only affects IE, Chrome is fine. Nothing shows in the web filter. The issue for us was the SMARTInk service running in the background. I think it somehow creates an overlay which interferes with how Outlook loads in IE. You can turn off SMARTInk so the toolbar doesn't appear but that won't stop this happening, the SMARTInk process needed to be stopped for things to work normally. I lost an entire day trying to figure this one out. Not sure if you are using SMART boards or not, or how you have user settings configured in your environment but for us this was the fix. We use UEV and local profiles, so if they had run it before it was being launched at logon each time. I added the following to a teacher workstation GPO: Action Delete Hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Key Path SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Value SMART Ink Before getting this far I replicated the non-load situation then killed: SMARTInk.exe SMARTInkPrivilegedAccess.exe SMARTInk-SBSDKProxy.exe Then refreshed the page and it would load consistently each time. Hope that helps some of you.
  12. Possibly, they did say I had a perpetual license. Wasn't sure if that was normal or not. Best thing to do is speak to them, they will tell you what your licensing stance is and then you can go from there.
  13. I'm not sure if there are different licensing models or not. I spoke to them as I didn't want to continue paying for support (essentially that's all the license is) they agreed that it's not been good recently and said I could join back in again when I felt like it. So in short nothing! Mine has already expired and i'm still using it.... * Also the above is correct
